Cilla “Alison is tenacious. You can’t say no to her or that it can’t be done. I’ve seen so many people thrive while working with her because of her ability to lead and mentor. One guy who got his first job on reception now has his own agency and still rings her for advice. “It will come as no surprise to anyone who knows her that Alison was very popular at school. She was a bit of a Pied Piper. I knew she'd end up in real estate, but after school I studied photo-journalism until I worked out what I wanted to do. Then somebody at dad’s agency retired and they took me on as a stop gap. I literally fell into it, then it just became the norm. “I’ve done my own stuff over the years, like working for [fashion designer] Carla Zampatti on her property portfolio, but I always gravitate back to Alison. Then when I was pregnant with my second child and struggling with a huge commercial portfolio, Alison took me for coffee and said, ‘I think it’s about time you came to work for me’. I get emotional just thinking about it. She read the situation and saved me. “I love running our community events, especially our golf tournament each year to raise money for MS, as our mother has been living with it knowingly for 30 years. People often say I should move into the events industry full time but working with Alison allows me to be creative but still get the buzz of doing a property deal. I love conversing with people and that no two days are the same. "Alison has a saying: if you do what you always did, you get what you always got. She’s always wanting to be at the forefront, do the next interesting thing. I think that we’re both similar in this way, but her ethos and moral compass are second to none.” Breakfast Point Realty is located at 8 Magnolia Drive, Breakfast Point.
