Meet Gillian Barr, Founder of Barr Estate Agents, a dynamic and compassionate professional dedicated to making a real difference in people’s lives.

With a background in sales, Gillian has excelled in her field, previously being one of the top sales agents in the UK and Europe for a large tool company. However, when she moved to Australia, she sought to expand her knowledge and pursued a higher education, becoming a fully qualified counsellor. These skills seamlessly transitioned into her career in real estate, where she focuses on truly understanding and listening to her clients’ needs.

Gillian’s passion lies in personal interactions, and she firmly believes in the value of genuine conversation over texting. Engaging with people on a deeper level allows her to understand their desires, preferences, and goals.

Gillian’s true passion lies in helping people find solutions and improve their situations to achieve the best possible outcomes and as a resident of Bellbowrie, Gillian possesses an unparalleled knowledge of the local market.

Beyond her professional endeavours, Gillian demonstrates her commitment to the community by volunteering as a qualified First Responder for the Queensland Ambulance Service. Her dedication to helping others extends beyond the realm of real estate, showing her deep-rooted compassion and genuine desire to make a positive impact on people’s lives.

Hi, my name is Tony Garibaldi!

I’m a motivated and hardworking real estate salesperson with two years of experience with Barr Estate agents, backed by a strong foundation in customer service and community engagement. Before stepping into real estate, I gained over four years of experience in hospitality and retail, including assisting with various community-based jobs. I’ve also been involved in staging homes and preparing properties for sale, skills that have given me a keen eye for presentation and detail.

With a Certificate I in Business, a Certificate III in Tourism, and a First Aid qualification, I bring a well-rounded and practical approach to my work. Outside of real estate, I’m passionate about 4WDing, traveling the world and Australia, sports, and spending time outdoors. These interests reflect my energetic personality and commitment to helping others find the right property to match their lifestyle and what’s best for them.
