4 At just 20 years old, Ethan Reddell is beginning to build his own career in real estate, working alongside his father, Brett, and learning the business in the same community he has grown up around. For Ethan, stepping into real estate wasn't simply about joining the family business. It was an opportunity to develop his own skills, build relationships and create a reputation based on the way he looks after people. Working side by side with Brett has given Ethan something few young agents have when they enter the industry the opportunity to learn every day from years of real-world experience while being actively involved with sellers, buyers, negotiations, marketing and the day-to-day realities of selling property. But Brett has been determined that Ethan won't simply be known as "Brett's son." The goal is for Ethan to develop his own identity as an agent, build his own client relationships and earn the trust of local homeowners through his own work. That is already starting to happen. Ethan is increasingly dealing directly with buyers and sellers, with clients getting to know him for his approachable nature, communication and commitment to getting the job done. For Brett, watching those relationships develop has been one of the most rewarding parts of working together. Having lived locally and raised his family in the area, Brett has spent years building relationships and developing an understanding of the Northern Gold Coast property market that goes well beyond property statistics. That knowledge is now being shared with Ethan, giving him a strong foundation as he develops his own career. At the same time, Ethan brings something different to the partnership youth, energy, new ideas and a modern understanding of how the next generation of buyers and sellers communicate and engage with property. It's a combination that works. One brings the experience of having been there before. The other brings the ambition of someone just getting started. While Ethan still has plenty to learn, Brett believes that's exactly how a strong career should be built through experience, hard work and earning people's trust rather than expecting it. Over the coming years, Ethan will continue taking on greater responsibility within the business while Brett remains alongside him, sharing the lessons, knowledge and relationships built throughout his career. For Ethan, however, the objective isn't simply to eventually take over what his father has created. It's to take the foundation they've built together and create something of his own. And for Brett, there couldn't be a better person to build the next chapter alongside. See advert front cover. Proven Experience. Fresh Ideas. One Great Team.

Readers can expect exciting appearances from beloved Seven Sisters characters, and will discover how their lives have been shaped during the last twenty years. This is Orlando’s story . . ` Author Information Lucinda Riley was born in Ireland, and after an early career as an actress in film, theatre and television, wrote her first book aged twenty-four. Her books have been translated into thirty-seven languages and sold forty million copies worldwide, and she was a No.1 Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller. Lucinda died in the summer of 2021. Harry Whittaker grew up in the 1990s and spent the first few years of his life on the rural west coast of Ireland, with a poor TV signal (and certainly no iPad). It was therefore left to his mother to entertain him, which she did through telling him stories. As a result, Harry has become a storyteller himself, as an awardwinning radio presenter for the BBC and a member of one of the UK’s most renowned improv troupes, who perform all over the UK.
