Cheryl Martin - Administration Assistant
Email: cheryl.martin@rein.com.au
Starting in May 2007 Cheryl is the newest edition to the R.E.I.N. team. Responsible for being the first impression of the company, Cheryl not only takes calls and greets clients, but also is privy to the sales process - providing support to Kevin, the Sales Coordinator. Coming from a sales background within Health and Fitness, Cheryl is rapidly learning about the real estate industry and since has taken a future interest in investing.
"I love working here at R.E.I.N. The people are great, and importantly they are great at what they do. When I make the commitment to buy a property, I will easily entrust R.E.I.N to look after me.".
Kevin Reeve - Sales Co-ordinator
Email: kevin.reeve@rein.com.au
Kevin joined R.E.I.N. in July 2003 as the Team Co-ordinator
and since then has been promoted to Sales Co-ordinator.
He has gained valuable experience in office administration
having worked for Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu for 2 years
prior to starting.
Kevin is effectively the link in the chain to co-ordinate
all parties through the process from reserving a property
up until exchange of contracts. He deals with numerous
parties including: the customer's solicitor, mortgage
brokers, developers, deposit bonds, our customers and
Jim Downs to make the purchase of an investment property
as effortless and stress free as possible.
Without Kevin property transactions would involve many
professionals working as individuals, he ensures unity
in diversity.
At the young age of 21 and only 6 months into his position at R.E.I.N. Kevin approached his parents about using the equity in their home for a deposit. He was nervous and apprehensive at first but after the help he received from R.E.I.N. he is now building himself a very secure future and now has the confidence to be looking into buying his third investment property!
"I can't believe how far I have come in such a short time, I know its long term investment but for someone who has never owned anything it makes me feel proud that I have taken the courage to do it and I never had to save a deposit!"
