HAVING enhanced his real estate agency’s already top-shelf reputation with the $15.2million sale of tennis star Pat Rafter’s Sunshine Beach dream home followed by an $18million sale, Tom Offermann could be excused for saying the secret to success was having prestige product.

And while Tom might not argue with that, he has a much more grounded take on what makes a successful business not only succeed, but thrive in a highly competitive market.

“There’s nothing more important than quality people in an organisation,” Tom said this week as two of his new sales assets settle into his agency, which now has more than 30 staff.

He’s delighted to have Jill Goode, who has been around the Noosa property scene even longer than himself, join the team, while his daughter Rebekah is enjoying her second stint at Tom Offermann Real Estate.
