The Lockyer’s newest and most sought after realtor has taken the plunge, moving from a home-based office to a new shop at Plainland’s plaza.
Tammy Nieling, who has operated 83 Property from her Lockyer Valley home since 2019, said the expansion at Plainland provided the opportunity for her to expand her business.
Ms Nieling has taken on the former Killing Time with Coffee and Sophia College shopfront in the Woolworths complex.

Ms Nieling, who for the past two years has been the sole agent, has taken on a second realtor and a junior administrator for her new office.
