Lorraine Sheard
Licensed Sales ConsultantLorraine Sheard was one of the first female executives within a fiercely competitive money market, so it is little wonder she has been so successful in real estate.

She is also motivated, and is confident to stand up and demand the best for her clients. “My wealth of experience has flowed into my real estate career, and has allowed me to maintain my reputation as someone you can trust and who works hard to achieve your goals.” So why did Lorraine choose a career in real estate?

Simon Hollander AREINZ
Licensed Branch ManagerExperience isn’t something you get overnight. It comes from working through a myriad of different situations. So, when the time comes for action, you can do so quickly and confidently. For Simon Hollander, experience is something he’s gained with a successful career before entering real estate, with 13 devoted years of industry work and with a carefully developed progression of nous and skill. Now, directing a tightly knit team of 15 consultants, buyers agents and support staff as Holmwood’s Ilam Office Branch Manager, this capability is fully realised. The mindset that Simon first established in a surveying and engineering career has been crucial to this ongoing success. Numerous clients, multi-faceted projects and careful planning were dominant factors then - and they’re vitally important now. Modern real estate also demands innovation. You need to stay on the cutting edge, constantly adapting and evolving. At times such a fast moving lifestyle can be stressful. So it pays to have someone who can install a sense of lightheartedness in the office. Quite simply, Simon knows what having a laugh means for the bigger picture.
