Katie-Jay Illingworth

New to the office in a hands-on fashion but certainly not new to the family – nor the industry – we’re excited to announce that Katie-Jay has joined the RealWay Team as an Administration Officer in 2021.

Often recognised in Bundaberg having been invited to function after function as our Principal’s “other half”, we at RealWay know she’s so much more than that and we’re excited to show her off! A qualified Pharmacist having graduated from James Cook University in 2008, this lady has a wealth of retail / medical knowledge in the pharmacy industry which she looks forward to applying to her time shaping the future of RealWay.

Daughter of exceptional local builder – Trevor McLeod – and of local midwife – Trudy Ford (nee; Madle) – Katie has Bundaberg, Gin Gin and Childers in her blood with a proud attachment to the area and its’ people. Katie’s passion for Real Estate stems from her passion for her family, friends and quality customer service. She feels these three things combine seamlessly at RealWay and wants to continue that legacy whilst contributing to it in exciting new ways.

In 2019 Katie undertook her training to get her certificate and register as an Agent in order to assist Brent as he continued to get busier. During this time her experiences were mostly centered around accurately scribing information, quality time management, even the odd inspection and of course, Client satisfaction.

Now, with the ship needing to be steadied thanks to a COVID baby-boom and three staff members taking maternity leave, Katie is excited to find herself in a permanent position in the fast-paced environment of administrating for our amazing Team.

If you want a fierce local lady with a heart of gold in your corner when it comes to Real Estate, give Katie and the RealWay Bundaberg Team a call today.
