Testimonial - Mark Reister

"When I was living in the city I was lucky to go to one footy game a year in Melbourne, whereas now that I'm living in Greater Shepparton I go to about five AFL matches a year. I just didn't have the time, by the time I'd worked my normal hours, and battled the traffic from work to home, the game would be over."

After Mark met his girlfriend, he knew things would change, but never in his mind would he have imagined that such a step would result in him moving from Melbourne to Greater Shepparton.

"When I first met my girlfriend I never would have dreamed of moving to Shepparton, in fact I hardly even knew where it was. However, after she convinced me of the benefits of living in Provincial Victoria, I moved. Now I can really appreciate the benefits of living outside of the city. As an estate agent, I am obviously interested in real estate and investing, and after exploring the Shepparton market, I am convinved that Greater Shepparton is growing and will continue to do so into the future."

"There is far less hassle here in terms of traffic congestion and I am able to earn the same income for about 10 to 15 hours less work each week. That means more time for me to socialise. I have joined Aquamoves, and play racquet ball with my next door neighbour-something I never could have done in Melbourne."
