🏡 **BNI South Eastern – Member Spotlight**

We heard from **Jarrod Wolf**, our chapter's Residential Real Estate expert.

Jarrod not only runs his own successful real estate business, but has recently taken on the role of **Director of Sales at Raine & Horne Shoreline**.

What stood out from Jarrod's presentation was the strong focus on **community engagement**. Through Raine & Horne Shoreline, the team doesn't just help people buy and sell homes — they also give back, with a percentage of sales supporting local community initiatives.

It's great to see a real estate professional who understands that property is about more than transactions — it's about building stronger communities and lasting relationships.

📍Want to meet professionals like Jarrod who are passionate about supporting both their clients and the local community?

We're here every Thursday morning — reach out for a visit, breakfast's on us!

A great presentation from **Mark Rennie at Renstruct Building Solutions** 🏡

Mark spoke about the importance of clarity, compliance, and getting the early stages right when planning a building or renovation project.

He shared a case study of a young family deciding whether they needed more space, should renovate, or should sell the property.

Through the design pathway, they discovered a smarter way to use their home — creating more living space downstairs instead of having everything upstairs.

The end result was a rear extension with better flow, improved connection to the outdoors, and a home that worked far better for the family.

A great reminder that the early planning stages are often the most critical part of a successful project.

Great presentation from **Patrick Reid at VRA Plumbing** 🔧

Patrick is an **emergency plumber only**, helping customers across **Melbourne’s South Eastern suburbs and Phillip Island** when urgent plumbing problems happen.

He is also truly **24/7** — not just “after-hours” in name — so customers can call when the emergency actually happens.

He spoke about the types of emergencies he handles, including:

• Sewer emergencies
• Stormwater issues
• Burst pipes
• Roof leaks
• Gas fitting

A great reminder that when plumbing emergencies happen, you need someone reliable who understands urgent call-outs.

The feedback was absolutely fantastic!

A great presentation from **Rob Harper of R & J Harper Painting & Decorating** 🔨

Rob shared practical insights into **retaining walls**, focusing on two critical factors — **post depth and proper drainage**.

He showed real-life examples, and explained how water, over time, can weaken structures and cause serious damage if not managed correctly.

Rob also highlighted his speciality in **outdoor decking** and entertainment areas.

A great reminder that what’s below the surface is just as important as what you see — especially when it comes to long-term durability.

She also highlighted a wide range of solutions beyond standard home loans, including **SMSF loans, reverse mortgages, non-conforming loans, and selected commercial lending options**.
