A 6th generation Nelson Bay local (his grandfather lived at the Inner Lighthouse at Little Beach for almost 30 years), Heath finished university (Bachelor of Commerce) in 1993 and started with the company soon after, at just 22 years of age.

"I was attracted by the opportunities that both the industry and the office presented. The ability to "right your own cheque" so to speak, and the office's heavy focus on training and developing its people got me in from the start.
When other agents were being paid commission only or retainers, Nelson Bay Real Estate was paying salaries with incentive packages far in excess of the the industry standard. To be able to afford this, the owners of the business invested in training its team members and an office culture of high performance and client care.
Surprising some of my family, I took to the business straight away, becoming the top salesperson in the office and receiving performance awards from the training company and the franchise that we were involved in, plus community nominated awards for client care sponsored by local newspapers"
