Team

I’m a mum, a business owner, and a property investor who understands that selling a home isn’t just a transaction, it’s personal. Life, family, finances, and big decisions all blend together, especially when it comes to property. That’s why I lead with empathy, honest communication, and a calm, steady approach.

My connection with Hagen & Co goes back further than most. I was once a salon owner with a commercial lease they managed. I experienced their integrity and professionalism firsthand (as they did mine ??), and now I’m proud to be part of the team.

I’ve walked in the shoes of buyers, sellers, and investors. I know what it feels like to juggle big moves with real life and I bring that experience to every client I work with. You’ll always have clear guidance, no pressure, and a strategy that makes sense for you.

Outside of real estate, I’m all about balance. I care deeply about my health (especially as I edge closer to 50), but I also love the good life. I’m a little lux. I love boats, nice champagne, and nothing beats a Scarborough sunset.

If you’re after someone who gets it, who’ll listen and keep it real from start to finish, you’ve found her.

Nothing about Ben’s career has been handed to him. From running his own landscaping business after graduating school to becoming one of the youngest licensed real estate agents in Australia at just 21, Ben has always believed in earning his place. Today, as Director and Licensee, he leads from the front — involved in every layer of the business and holding himself to the same standards he expects of his team.

A proud graduate of Hale School (Class of 2010), Ben entered real estate with a clear focus on long-term growth and leadership. In 2017, he purchased the business and has since built a structured, process-driven company grounded in strong systems, accountability and genuine relationships.

Committed to continual improvement, Ben completed a Graduate Certificate in Business through the UWA Business School (MBA School), strengthening his strategic and operational leadership.

He has invested extensively in professional development, spending significant time training within his own office while also presenting and speaking to other agencies. Ben has undertaken advanced training on the East Coast, including extensive work with The Speakers Institute, where he was invited to continue working closely with them — a reflection of his communication ability and leadership presence.

Deeply connected to the local community, Ben has been both a sponsor and player at Wembley Downs Soccer Club for over 15 years and spent 10 years involved with Scarborough Surf Life Saving Club. He played for many years at West Coast Amateur Football Club and remains a major sponsor of the club today.

An endurance athlete at heart, Ben has competed in five Rottnest Channel Swim events — demonstrating the preparation, resilience and discipline that carry into his business.

As Director, Ben is heavily involved in the day-to-day running of the company. There is no role within the business he has not personally performed — from prospecting and negotiating to property management, operations and team development. This hands-on leadership ensures strong systems, accountability at every level and a culture built on high standards.

Year after year, the business continues to expand across both sales and property management — a testament to disciplined processes, a great team and a commitment to doing things properly.

Outside of business, Ben and his wife Loz are proud parents to their son Jack. As a family, they enjoy travelling to Rottnest Island, exploring Australia and discovering destinations overseas.

For Ben, real estate is not just about transactions — it is about leadership, long-term relationships and delivering outcomes that genuinely move people forward.

When thinking of what to say about Brett we all thought the same thing “A larrikin”

Google provides two definitions “a boisterous, often badly behaved young man.” and “a person with apparent disregard for convention; a maverick.”
A man of refreshing candour which sets him apart from your usual real estate “specialist”.

His ability to connect with his clients, or friends as he calls them is what we call his “unicorn ability” which sees him achieve exceptional results in all real estate transactions.

Whether it is a bottle of veuve or challenging business transaction you KNOW Gail is going to succeed. When discussing what to write about Gail we really struggled as her abilities stretch far beyond her experience and time in the industry which so many focus on.

Her ability to understand, read and command the room whilst allowing others to feel heard is second to none. Perhaps the iron fist in the velvet glove. There are some things money simply can’t buy.
To this day Gail has always spoken so highly of one of the original business partners, David Mason. Gail would sit back and watch in awe as David would drive the team to achieve better results personally and for others. David was what so many in the industry would aspire to be.

Gail described David as the iron fist in the velvet glove and it is only fitting to pass this torch onto her.
