Cara Downie
As the Business Owner of Propertyscouts Far North, I bring over 18 years of hands-on property expertise, built on a foundation of genuine passion for property and commitment to outstanding service. With a Bachelor’s in Property Valuation and Management and a Graduate Diploma in Finance, I’ve managed everything from residential properties to multimillion-dollar commercial assets. I’m also a property investor myself, having purchased my first investment at 25, so I truly understand the rewards and challenges that come with property ownership.
I take pride in creating a positive experience for everyone involved, with a focus on safe, welcoming environments and clear, open communication. Clients can count on knowledgeable, down-to-earth support that prioritises both the property’s value and the people who interact with it.
I’m committed to making your property journey as smooth and rewarding. With a proactive and friendly approach, I look forward to helping you achieve fantastic results with confidence and ease.
