MOTHER and son team Adrianand Kareena Ballard know realestate, so much so that the pairhas recently celebrated 10 yearsworking together at Jones Bal-lard Property Group in Como.
Both worked separately in thereal estate industry beforedeciding to join forces and sellpropertytogether.
Kareenajoined thereal estateindustry in1983 andpurchasedher ownreal estatebusiness in1988 whicheventually evolved into The JonesBallard Property Group in 2007.
During her time in real estate,Kareena was elected as the firstfemale President of REIWA and
later the Real Estate Institute ofAustralia.
Commenting on the last 10years of working together,Kareena Ballard said that part oftheir success was due to the factthat many of their clients recog-nised the unique working rela-tionship where family values
matter andenjoyed thecomple-mentarybalance oftwo mindsthat thinkalike.
“In par-ticular, wehave foundthat families
selling their homes feel verycomfortable working with us asthey can often relate moreclosely with one of us and knowthat back-up is close at hand
with the other person,’’ she said.“It is simply one family helping
another family. We have foundthat they trust us to achieve thebest outcome for their familywith our combined mature yearsof experience and knowledge.
“It has been delightful workingwith Adrian over the last decadebecause our strong family tiesmeans that our working relation-ship is powerful and special.”
Adrian entered the real estatesector in 1995 and had a suc-cessful career in marketing anumber of inner-city residential
developments. He also managedthe construction of a large com-mercial cevelopment of 21 facto-ries in Bentley before joiningKareena at her real estate busi-ness, Quin Ballard, in Como.
The success of their familyname in the local area led toKareena and Adrian formallymarketing themselves as TeamBallard following the merger ofJones Ballard in 2007.
Adrian told Residential thatreal estate was a people businessand the key to their successfulbusiness relationship was con-necting with the client and work-ing together as a team.
“I have found it very enjoyableand challenging working along-side my mother in real estate,’’he said.
“She has gained a wealth ofexperience over the last threedecades and has been a greatsupport and tutor.” ■

Indulent, opulent six-star quality. By CARMELLE WILKINSON
TENANTS with furry friends havebeen slapped with a $160 increasein the pet bond.
The maximum pet bond thatlandlords are able to charge ten-ants increased from $100 to $260from 1 June.
According to the Commission-er for Consumer Protection,AnneDriscoll, this new charge reflectsthe present-day costs associatedwith fumigation after a tenant witha dog or cat has vacated a rentalproperty.
“The cost of fumigation hasincreased over the years and it isappropriate that the pet bond alsoincrease to adequately cover thisextra cost,’’ she said.
“It’s important to note that thepet bond is in addition to the usualsecurity bond and can bereturned if the fumigation is notnecessary.”
Ms Driscoll said the increase inthe pet bond may make it easierfor pet owners to find rentalaccommodation, as landlords willbe more willing to accept theirapplications knowing the cost offumigation will be adequately metat the end of the tenancy.
The decision to increase the petbond was part of a detailed reviewof tenancy laws in WA and fol-lowed an extensive consultationand review period, which involvedpublic meetings, focus groups andindividual meetings.
Tenants or landlords who haveany queries about bonds shouldcontact Consumer Protection on1300 30 40 54 or [email protected]. ■

Cottage takento another levelTHIS original 1930s home hadbeen on the market for ages whenthe current owners went to lookat it.
“It was so run-down and unlive-able, I don’t think anyone wantedto touch it,” one of the ownerssaid. “But we stood on the backdeck, saw two beautiful, enormoustrees in either corner of the prop-erty and realised the potential ithad.”
Seven years on, the pretty cot-tage-style façade is much the same,but the interior has undergone abreathtaking transformation.
The front section of the proper-ty was gutted and completelyrefurbished and a striking, highlycontemporary extension wasadded at the rear.
High ceilings, jarrah floorboardsand decorative architraves at thefront are met with sleek lines,
extensive glass and expansive 5-metre high spaces at the rear.
The luxurious master suite has aspacious walk-in robe and a mag-nificent ensuite. Two minor bed-rooms are opposite, both light-filled and with built-in robes.
A fourth bedroom or homeoffice is currently used an artist’sstudio, with a mezzanine level tomaximise the utility of the room.
The stylish renovation featuresa stunning galley kitchen withstone benchtops overlooking thelounge and dining areas.
However the real highlight ofthe extension is floor-to-ceilingaluminium stacker doors and win-dows that face north onto a won-derful cantilevered deck with a for-est inspired garden retreat.
A sandpit and blackboards havealso been incorporated for the lit-tle ones. ■

Luxury home is ideal eagles nestFEATURING lots of living space that is welldivided, and in close proximity to some of WA’stop schools, this Wembley Downs residence isperfect for a family.
But not just any family lives here.West Coast Eagles chief operating officer
Richard Godfrey – who has been at the footballclub for 18 years and oversees operationsincluding finance, marketing and projects – hiswife Catherine, daughter Isabella, and sonsLachlan and Harrison have called it home forthe past six years.
“We were enticed by its family-friendly lay-out and location,” Richard explained.
“Buxton is a fantastic street in a great neigh-bourhood and there are lots of good schools,shops, beaches and sports facilities nearby.”
Built in 2004, the abode is on a 476sq m low-maintenance block and is a shining example ofcontemporary living.
A large downstairs master suite that is sepa-rated from the rest of the home providesRichard and Catherine with a quiet retreat.
Appropriately, it is carpeted in blue – a floorcovering they inherited from the first owners.
The deluxe master bedroom, which featureswalk-in and built-in robes, an ensuite and accessto the paved alfresco area, has an adjoining, spa-cious lounge room.
Equipped with a study desk, it is here thatIsabella, Lachlan and Harrison often completetheir homework.
A centrally located, sleek, streamlinedkitchen is equipped with ample bench space,appliance cupboard, dishwasher, microwaveshelf, gas cook top, raised breakfast bar and allthe storage space that a family needs.
“The kitchen overlooks the dining and out-door area, which is great because when thekids were little, I could make dinner and super-
vise them as they played,” Catherine said.The lower level is completed by a guest bath-
room and another lounge area, where Richardlikes nothing better than to sit down and relaxwhile watching a game of AFL on the television.
One of his favourite pieces of football mem-orabilia – a photo of the scene at the MCG asthe final siren of the 2006 grand final sounds –adorns the wall.
With two bedrooms, a bathroom and livingarea, upstairs belongs to the kids.
Richard and Catherine added the solar-heat-ed pool and cabana to the front of the proper-ty, and the children can’t access the area with-out their help.
When the Godfreys aren’t home or at aWest Coast home fixture, you’ll likely find themparticipating in sports.
Richard is a member of a swim team at Beat-ty Park and competes in the Rottnest Channel
Swim as a soloist, Catherine is a triathlete andIsabella loves netball and cross country, whilethe boys participate in Auskick and tennis.
When asked if he and his family would everconsider living in Fremantle, Richard’s answerwas a resounding “no”.
Space Real Estate agent Cam McGregor,whois selling the home and has been a FremantleDockers member for 16 years, would undoubt-edly disagree. ■

Character and charm in garden settingTHE first owners of this MountClaremont home loved the designso much that they rebuilt it on asmaller block at Beaconsfield.
As for the current owners, whobought the Ian Collins residencefour years later in 2000 and areready to downsize, they say they’rereally going to miss it.
On taking a tour of the proper-ty, it’s not hard to see why it haswon so many hearts.
Autumn-touched Virgina creep-er hugs the salmon-rendered exte-rior and together with the orangebrick tiles and an adorable littlebalcony, the home has Tuscancharm in spades.
It is happily situated on a449sqm easy-care corner blockand its street presence is enhancedby the well-maintained council landthat fronts it.
The entry door opens to revealan abode that is spacious yet cosyand brimming with character – afeature that is one of its best,according to the current owner.
She said other attractionsincluded a great location, wonder-ful neighbours and that each familymember had plenty of room to dotheir own thing.
The hub of the home is thelower-level, open-plan living area,which includes a recently renovat-ed kitchen.
Featuring a built-in pantry, largefridge recess and Boschmicrowave, double oven, six-burn-er gas cook top and dishwasher,the kitchen has ample cupboards.
The adjacent family room, whichshowcases the owner’s extensivecollection of camels and otherdesert scene ware, is light and

It is surrounded by a delightfulgarden that includes strategicallyplaced native flowering plants toattract the local bird life, roses, cit-rus and olive trees, a herb gardenand fragrant lemon verbena plantideal for making herbal teas.
“We were brought up in ruralEngland where we were used togrowing our own fresh produce,however it's such a privilege for usnow to be able to grow our owncitrus fruits, vines and olives, some-thing we would never have beenable to do back home,” one ownersaid.
“My husband experiments a lotwith olives and chillies, and his hot,sweet chilli sauce is sheer perfec-tion.
“It’s amazing what can be grownon a small plot.”
Downstairs also comprises alarge, carpeted formal lounge, laun-dry with built-in cupboards, andthe master bedroom with ensuitecomprising a single vanity, showerand toilet.

The property spans 945sq mwith the residence set backamongst landscaped gardens.
A sweeping verandah enclos-es one-half of the grand redbrick façade.

Luxury redefined at LeightonWANT to live on Leighton Beach?Well how could you not?
Nicely wedged between Cottes-loe and Fremantle, with nothingbetween you and the sparklingwaters of the Indian Ocean, Mir-vac’s Beachside Leighton complex isthe height of luxury.
I think what is so alluring aboutthe apartments is their convenientyet ultra exclusive location.
If you look one way, you are atwo-minute walk to the emergingbar and café scene of North Fre-mantle, and only a 20-minute trainride from the city.
But if you look the other way, it’sall ocean as far as the eye can see.
Location aside, beachsideLeighton is the epitome of style.
Architecturally designed by Sin-gaporean-based Kerry Hill and Fre-mantle’s Michael Patroni, theexquisitely designed homes blendharmoniously with their coastalenvironment.
A lift from the ground level pro-vides direct access into apartmentone.
As you step inside, vast expansesof glass are a window on the oceanpanorama and allow natural sunlightthroughout the interior.
The highest quality materials andflawless finishes have been used tocreate spaces that are both visuallystriking and low maintenance.
A streamlined white galleykitchen with Gaggenau appliances, aseparate scullery and integratedappliances, including a coffeemachine, two ovens and amicrowave, are incorporated into amain living and dining area,with slid-ing doors out to an expansivebeachfront terrace, featuring auto-matic louvers.
There are three bedrooms andthree bathrooms in the apartment,each generously proportioned andimmaculately finished.
The master suite is sensational,with its open ensuite and directaccess to a terrace.
A sitting room and separatestudy are away from the bedrooms,providing additional space in whichto relax, spread out and enjoy thislifestyle home.
Simple, chic and timeless, with aprice tag to match, only a few luckypeople will ever be able to call thishome. ■
