Tara Bradbury

The Fraser Coast is my stomping ground! I love the familiarity, lifelong friends and lifestyle that goes with it. My favourite happy place is anywhere with my husband, Shane, and our two daughters, Isabelle and Sienna. Apart from my family, property management, rent roll growth, mentoring and living the Hervey Bay lifestyle are my greatest passions. I started out in the local real estate scene in 2002 and established Active Agents in 2019.

You will find me direct and social with a (wickedly) weird sense of humour and a constant need to be busy. I love challenges that involve talking, learning and, well, people. I’m a people person you see, and helping others is at the core of my motivation. I aspire to share with others through leadership and build on the profession of our industry and clients while offering a workplace that our team loves coming to everyday.

I am a driver. I drive ideas, procedures, structure, change, actions, visions, goals, dreams .. well, anything I can really. I like to see things run smoothly and consider myself the master time-efficiency expert. I love the variety of my role here at Active Agents which includes new business, business and office management and property management. My passions within these fields are marketing, business and strategic acumen, and development.

Danielle Cargill

A property manager since 1997, Danni is well aware of the stresses that the job can put on us and the toll this takes on us mentally. Over the years, her primary way of managing a challenging role and her mental health has been by maintaining her physical health.

In 2018 Danni undertook Pilates teacher training, which she developed into a live, interactive online experience during the lockdowns and continued this to help people to switch off the mind chatter, counter the negativity of sitting in front of a computer and find new strength – all from the convenience of home. Join her at PM Reach for a 45 minute mat pilates class to discover muscles you didn’t know you had!
