The face that smiles and greets you, the Director of First Impressions, Jude epitomises the warmth, care and personable nature that is ‘Property One.’
After 21 years at Sealy Posturepedic as an Administration Supervisor and then Personal Assistant to the General Manager, Jude made the change to Property One, after reconnecting with Director, Peter Hansen at a market appraisal to sell her home.
She loves the relaxed atmosphere of the company, like they are all family. Everyone pitches in to help, and no question is too big or small. Each day Jude comes to work, she familiarises herself with all the properties for sale and lease, so she can give enquiries over the phone or at the front desk an informed narration of what the property has to offer, it’s inspection times and the location.
Ahh, the location. Jude absolutely loves everything about the area. She grew up in Bonbeach and Chelsea, she lives in Patterson Lakes, and she knows all about the restaurants, the cafes, the schools, the footy clubs, she even knows how often the train comes, and what you need to do to get a beach parking permit. She’s a wealth of information.
Jude is the friendly face you want on your team. She helps keep the team organised, is eager to learn, and her youthful qualities outshine her mature years.

From her own experiences, she enjoys sharing her knowledge and being part of James Bell’s team helping their clients display their home in the best light. She loves the balance of the experience, explaining to vendors their home’s best angles and creating an appealing narration, while also celebrating the positives about the property with prospective purchasers.
