“Trust is the predominant thing. In equity trading, you’ve got traders from Soros and Tiger entrusting you with stock purchases. You had to be the epitome of discretion. That same trust is crucial when we get off-markets with agents.”
Growing up on a country sheep farm, Tina’s career began unexpectedly at 19 on an options trading desk at AMP. After university, a colleague invited her to New York as an equity sales trader, launching her global markets career where she developed skills in relationship management and negotiation.
After returning to Australia in 2012, Tina found herself helping friends with property purchases. Her property obsession was noticed by industry professionals, with Stu Jones suggesting she turn her passion into a profession before eventually co-founding Morish & Clark with Victoria.
“I look at my own personal property purchases and feel like a twit. If I had guidance and a trusted advisor, I wouldn’t have bought particular properties.”
The partnership with Victoria creates a powerful combination – Tina’s buyer’s agent experience complemented by Victoria’s extensive sales agent history. They focus on Sydney’s prime markets across diverse price points, from $1 million investments to $15 million family homes.
Tina’s most rewarding transactions involve finding perfect matches for clients with specific needs, like securing an off-market waterfront for clients who wanted to live on one of just four streets, or helping a divorcee find her dream home in just eight days.
“We’re very direct. I’m not going to lie about what I can deliver. When we succeed, that’s what makes all the hours of phone calls worthwhile.”
