Our People
Elders Real Estate Jimboomba.
Steve Hodgson - Principal & Sales Consultant
Having made the transition from Corporate Information Technology to Real Estate in 2005, Steve demonstrates life long characteristics of commitment and absolute focus on the job in hand, which continues to deliver the very best results that he possibly can in the ever changing Jimboomba real estate market. He demonstrates a structured and organised approach to selling, underpinned by a high level of communication, which he believes is paramount to building trust with his many clients. As Steve says “it’s a tired cliché I know, but I firmly believe you should treat people the way you would want to be treated yourself - we are in a people business, and our product happens to be Real Estate”. Married to Julie with two young children, they took the decision to open Elders Real Estate Jimboomba in 2008 at a time of significant uncertainty in the real estate market. However as Steve says “having worked with Elders at Browns Plains for over a year before hand, I understood the technical advantages that an Elders Office could provide, and this coupled with an absolute belief in the future of the Jimboomba area, made it a very easy decision”. Since opening Elders Jimboomba, they have strengthened their market position yet further and are excited about their plans for this year and indeed the years ahead “Jimboomba has a bright future and we intend to be part of it for a long, long time to come”.

Julie Hodgson - Principal
Like husband Steve, Julie has also made the transition from the world of Corporate Information Technology to Real Estate and is joint principal and licensee for the Jimboomba Office.
Julie’s focus is on the financial aspects of the business, which in real terms means that she is working behind the scenes to ensure the smooth operation of the office, as well as keeping up to date with legal and legislative requirements. With this in mind, Julie keeps in contact with REIQ to ensure that we meet their selection criteria and hence allow us to proudly display the REIQ approved office logo, each year.

Brogan Duff - Sales Administrator
Introducing Brogan Duff
A local girl born and educated in Beaudesert, Brogan originally joined the Elders group through a school based traineeship in 2008 at Browns Plains. Two years later in 2010, she seized the opportunity to join the team at Elders Jimboomba, bringing with her an enthusiasm and commitment to the job in hand, under pinned by a level of maturity and common sense far in excess of her relatively young age. For many, Brogan will be their first point of contact with the team here at Jimboomba.
Brogan has a multi facet role here in the office, supporting the sales team on our state of the art computer based systems, co-ordinating advertising, supporting traditional paper based systems including mail and banking, and dealing with all in-bound enquires, be it by email, phone or walk-in customers.
Our sellers will also receive regular contact from Brogan as she co-ordinates open home or inspection appointments as part of the marketing process driven by the sales team. If she has a spare moment after all that, then she may well find herself dealing with a “special project” for our licensee Julie Hodgson. Brogan’s keen sense of humour and her “can do attitude” ensure the continued smooth operation of Elders internal systems.
