It was just before a house inspection they were hosting in Fadden in 2001 that <a href="/agents/rick-and-tina-meir/">Rick and Tina Meir</a> knew they were destined to become besties.As clients were literally walking up the front steps to view the home (Rick was selling it, Tina was representing the buyer about to walk through the property) the pair struggled to gain composure from a shared joke before the buyers were due to arrive.“We realised we had a very similar sense of humour,” Tina laughs.“And from that point on, we became great friends.”<img alt="2913_HBH_008h" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1200" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/2913_HBH_008h.width-800.jpg" width="800">From work colleagues to husband and wife, Rick and Tina both had outstanding individual careers in real estate sales across a number of agencies in Canberra’s south.But in 2016, they decided ”it was time” — uniting their sales skills to become one of Canberra’s powerhouse couples of real estate. Today, the Meirs’ hold the suburb records for Weston and Waramanga, and the previous suburb records for Hughes, Throsby, Strathnairn and Denman Prospect. They sold 59 properties last year alone.In a move that plays to the couple’s creative strengths (Tina is an acclaimed singer and actor, while <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CtlWmmnBFKO/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Rick’s dance moves set Instagram on fire</a> last month), the Meirs’ have donned the pink pastel and joined the team at <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/home-holly/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">home.by holly</a>.<img alt="Screen Shot 2023-07-25 at 5.59.11 pm" class="richtext-image full-width" height="778" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Screen_Shot_2023-07-25_at_5.59.11_pm.width-800.png" width="517">The home.by holly agency “already feels like home”, Tina says, and the couple is excited to “smash the stereotype” of traditional property marketing: something the home.by holly team is famous for.“We were drawn to the agency’s values, culture and their standout marketing,” Rick says.“The home.by holly team is creative, people-focused, and genuine. There’s a real values alignment there for us.”While Woden and Weston Creek is their heartland, Rick and Tina will continue to sell homes right across the capital. They’re looking forward to “continuing to specialise in suburbs on the southside that we live and work in”, Tina says, and supporting locals.<img alt="12-phyllis-frost-street-forde-act-2914-82988-image-0-20230712223133427295-crop-c0-5__0-5-1600x750-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/12-phyllis-frost-street-forde-act-2914-82988-i.width-800.jpg" width="800">“And just being ourselves,” Rick says. “There’s an energy around the creative freedom we’ll have to market our listings that we can’t wait to build on and work with.”The couple’s hot tip for takeaway on the nights you can’t be bothered cooking?“A curry from Masala Hut in Weston or a pizza from Two Blind Mice in Curtin,” Tina says.“Shantung chicken from Timmy’s in Manuka,” Rick says. “Can’t beat it.”<a href="https://zango.com.au/search-property/real-estate-agents/rick-and-tina-meir/?listing_type=sale&amp;status=current" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View Rick and Tina&#x27;s current properties for sale.</a>

You could almost miss the home at <a href="/sale/6-fowles-street-weston-act-2611-48896/">6 Fowles Street Weston</a> from the street, but you certainly wouldn’t miss the gardens.Beautiful hedges guide you up the path or the driveway, while mature trees and lush plants with pops of colour offer a comforting embrace. Hidden amongst it all is a four bedroom, two bathroom house, which has been home to a growing family of five for the past 15 years. The home effortlessly integrates with its natural surroundings, which not only offers a high level of privacy, but also means there’s a leafy outlook from every room.<img alt="6 Fowles Street Weston 1.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="532" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/6_Fowles_Street_Weston_1.width-800.png" width="800">The main level is elevated, combining both the bedrooms and living spaces. The renovated kitchen features a stone island bench, quality appliances, and cedar bifold windows opening to the back garden. Spacious open plan living and dining areas include a sun-drenched family room that opens to a substantial back deck, or step through the living room to the covered front balcony, which enjoys spectacular mountain views.The generously proportioned master bedroom includes a study nook or dressing room, renovated ensuite and multiple built-in robes, while the remaining bedrooms are all generous in size with built-in robes. The large main bathroom and laundry have also been immaculately renovated. Downstairs, the study and storage area has allowed the owners to work from home with ease.<img alt="6 Fowles Street Weston 3.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="505" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/6_Fowles_Street_Weston_3.width-800.png" width="800">The vendors have lovingly renovated the property over the years, first by renovating the bathrooms in 2009 and merging two bedrooms into a spacious master, turning the original five bedroom home into the four bedrooms it has now. Then in 2013 they reconfigured the floor plan slightly and added French doors and floor to ceiling windows. Then this year they updated the laundry, restored the front and back decks, upgraded the roof, and painted internally, amongst some other upgrades. While they’re excited for their next chapter, the owners have loved their little elevated slice of Weston.“The three things that we’ve enjoyed most about the house are the beautiful and established gardens that generate a great deal of calm and privacy, the outdoor entertaining areas at each end of the house which allow you to enjoy the views of the Brindabellas but also spend time outside year-round, and the safe and convenient neighbourhood with schools, shops and playgrounds all within walking distance,” they say.<img alt="6 Fowles Street Weston 2.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/6_Fowles_Street_Weston_2.width-800.png" width="800">Selling agent <a href="/agents/trenton-morrissey/">Trenton Morrissey</a> from <a href="/agencies/morrissey-property/">Morrissey Property</a> says the home is one of the finest in the region.“Fully renovated in Weston Creek, the home is impressive, capitalising on the established gardens giving you the ‘new home’ feel in an established area,” he says.“The well-established private garden is colourful and balanced with pathways, grassed areas, covered entertaining spaces and a brilliant entertaining deck.”<img alt="6 Fowles Street Weston 4.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/6_Fowles_Street_Weston_4.width-800.png" width="800">6 Fowles Street Weston will go to auction on November 11, 2021.
