Stephanie Agnew
 

Stephanie fell in love with Real Estate when she first started working as a property manager at the age of 19. Not long after, she was diagnosed with a degenerative retinal condition called cone rod dystrophy which meant she would eventually lose all of her sight. At the age of 23 Steph lost her drivers license and thought that was the end of her career in real estate, requiring a drivers license to be a property manager. Not one to give up she learnt all facets of the business and used her skills to work within administration, training and office management.

In 2012 she was named the REINT Corporate Support Person of the Year and named as a national finalist in the same category for the 2013 REIA Awards.

After 11 years in the Real Estate industry, and working in agencies in NSW, NT and VIC, Stephanie decided to focus on shining the light on people with vision loss and blindness, showing that they are just as able as everyone else, they just do things differently.
