Meet the Team: Rebecca Fergus



We sat down with our Associate Director, Rebecca Fergus, and found out a bit more about her favourite travel destinations, emojis and quotes. 



What is your role/position at DK?
I'm an Associate Director and I head up the commercial property management department - the team consists of 4 property managers, 2 lease administrators and 1 trust account person. I have been at DK for just over 10 years and have 20 years' experience in commercial property management. 

Where would we find you on your day off?
Day off!?!   No, doesn't happen. But at weekends I can usually be found on a golf course, somewhere within a 2 hour radius of Melbourne. I love the game!!

Best thing about working at DK
The ethos. The culture. The team. And the little bit of fun we throw into the mixing pot too.  It's important to like coming to work and enjoying it. 

What are you watching on Netflix? 
Ummm!  Netflix!!   I'm paying a monthly fee for it, but never watch it!  Need to fix that!!

Personal mantra?
I think I can, I know I can. 
I think I can, I know I can. 

Dream travel destination?
That's an easy one - I was there only a few weeks ago - Italy, especially the Amalfi Coast.  But anywhere on a plane. The further away the better!

Advice for commercial landlords?
When choosing a commercial property manager, you need to be comfortable with their experience and their knowledge, along with their approach and manner when dealing with people. Don't let fees and charges cloud your decision making - you pay for what you get when it comes to professional advice, service and ability.  

Advice for commercial tenants?
Your property manager is the messenger - please don't shoot the messenger. 

Three things you’d choose to take with you if you were stranded on a desert island?
1.  Well, if you knew you were going to be stranded on a desert island, you'd take a boat with you ... wouldn't you??  So, i would take a boat and I'd have it fully stocked with all of life's little luxuries, and necessities. 
2.  My mobile phone in its solar powered battery charger cover
3. My 7 iron
The more I think about it, being stranded on this desert island could be my dream travel destination from your question above!!

What would people say is the most surprising thing about you?
When they find out that I really have curly hair!!!

Any favourite quotes or sayings that help keep you motivated?
-If a job is worth doing, it is worth doing well. 
-the more you put into life, the more you get out
-treat people the way YOU would like to be treated, not the way you ARE treated (more people need to adopt this motto!)
-what goes around, comes around
-Laughter is the best medicine. 

Favourite travel destination?
I had two weeks on the Amalfi Coast in September -  I love the wine, the food, the people, the rugged coastline, the narrow laneways and steps, the climate, the bluest skies and water, their relaxed way of life -  I'd go back in a heartbeat. 

Most used emoji?
😘😘  only with family and friends.
