Alumni in the Spotlight: Introducing Josh Tregoning
Thank you Josh for taking the time to share your experience with us and being our recent Alumni in the Spotlight.
Can you briefly tell us about yourself Josh?
Having grown up in the area and now raising a family of my own in Bracken Ridge, I have a wealth of local knowledge and expertise ensuring I am well placed to provide outstanding advice and service that only local knowledge can provide. Along with my wife and two children, the Tregoning family are strong advocates of the fantastic life that living in the local area can provide. With a diverse career spanning customer service, sales and team management I bring a wealth of experience and versatility. I started my career as an apprentice mechanic for a local car dealership. During this time I learnt the importance of hard work, problem solving and most importantly respect. After spending many years in local car dealerships, I moved to a large international company enhancing my already strong communication, negotiation, management and problem solving skills. All of these previous appointments have provided me with a strong foundation, ensuring long term success in the real estate industry. Family is at the centre of everything I do, however when I’m not busy meeting the needs of my clients, I enjoy spending time at the beach with my family, undertaking various improvements around the home and attempting to improve my golf swing. I am also an avid runner and cycler who can be regularly seen “hitting the pavement” in and around the local suburbs.
