Kyla Kelleher – Pine Property

What’s your favourite place on the Northern Beaches?
There are so many to choose from but Little Manly on a sunny, midweek day is a pretty special place to hang out.

Is there something about you that would surprise people?
I was a medal presenter at the Sydney 2000 Olympics.

What’s something everyone should do at least once?
Travel. But travel alone too. It’s an opportunity for independence and personal growth.

It’s Sunday afternoon, where do we find you?
Hanging with the kids at Queensie beach or in the backyard but probably trying to sneak off for a nap too.

If you were down to your last $50 what would you spend it on?
A coffee, a glass of champagne and a charcuterie board.

Business

How did Pine Property happen?  How long have you been working in the business?
Patrick and I always said we’d start our own agency. I officially joined the business 1 year after it’s launch and since then I have been working in it, on it and everything in between.

Best business experience?
Seeing your vision realised. Building something from the ground up and watching it grow year on year is pretty amazing.

If you weren’t doing this, what would you be doing?
I’d probably like to be doing something in the non for profit space.

Best part of your job?
Telling Patrick what to do. Ha jokes.

Most stressful part of your job?
The unpredictability of running your own business.

What’s the best part of working on the Northern Beaches?
Besides the fact that we get to live and work in paradise, I’d have to say the amazing community we have here on the Beaches.

Personal

What would you rate 10/10?
Patrick? Too cheesy?

What is the best advice you’ve received?
Sometimes near is enough is good enough.

What’s the best thing that’s happened to you this week?
Pine Property turned 10!!

Greatest strength?
Being able to say no.

Greatest weakness?
Managing my inner critic.

Does anything scare you?
Spiders, snakes, sharks… seems to be an ‘s’ theme happening.

What’s your most treasured possession?
My 4 little minions… I mean children.

What’s your idea of absolute happiness?
A combination of sunshine, the ocean, coffee, Patrick and the kids.

How do you switch off?
Sneaking away for an afternoon nap.

What’s your guilty pleasure?
My morning coffee. It just makes me really happy.

Who’s your personal hero?
My mum. She is dead set one of the best humans on the planet.

If you were an animal, what would you be?
Probably a bear with all the napping I like to do.

How would you like to be remembered?
As someone who had a positive impact on others and made life a bit more fun along the way.

If we could ask you one more question, what would it be and what’s your answer?
Why should I use Pine Property?
Because we’re the best damn local commercial real estate agency on the Northern Beaches and supporting small business is paramount.
