Sales rookie Amber Boumelhem has sold six Western Sydney properties in October after just five weeks in real estate sales.

In the past month, Ms Boumelhem has sold a myriad of properties, inclusive of a duplex at 1/173 Adelaide Street, St Marys for $590,000 as well as a three-bedroom townhouse at 4/5-6 Daphne Close, Kingswood for $600,000.

The 19-year-old former property manager only started in property sales in September when she joined Raine & Horne St Marys, having previously worked in property management with an independent Carlingford firm.

Ms Boumelhem was enticed to St Marys to work with top Raine & Horne agent Peter Diamantidis.

“When I met Amber, I was very direct with her. I told her I was looking for a team member who would stay with me for the long term. Not here today, gone tomorrow,” said Mr Diamantidis of the rookie.

“I asked Amber if she wanted to succeed and whether she was happy learning the real estate ropes in Western Sydney. To her credit, Amber was immediately on board, which is demonstrated by the six sales she closed in October.”

While Ms Boumelhem is not yet listing properties, she has been rising above her station and working beyond the call of duty, ultimately exceeding Mr Diamantidis’ expectations by operating as a sales and buyers’ representative on his behalf, the principal said.

To date, she has been showing properties on her own accord and negotiating offers.

“I’m at times struggling to keep up with her achievements. Already a skilled communicator, Amber makes vendors and buyers feel at ease with her positive, approachable and professional attitude. She is a valued and committed member of the Diamantidis Group team.”

Moving forward, Mr Diamantidis said he aims to pass on to Ms Boumelhem his “customer first” mindset.

He has stressed to the new agent the importance of returning every vendor and buyer phone call by close of business, as well as promptly asking buyers about their style and price preferences if they end up not liking the initial property presented to them. 

“Amber has taken these lessons on board and run with them, and in relation to her sales, the buyers would never have visited those properties without her intervention. If a buyer doesn’t like a property, Amber will drive them to a more suitable home or investment. Her initiative is outstanding.”

Ms Boumelhem has reportedly been working on finalising seven more sales in November, ultimately taking advantage of the influx of young people in the Western Sydney area.
