Adam fortunately agreed.
“He trusts my real estate judgement,” she laughs. ‘He knows me very well – we’ve been together since we were 16. We were high school sweethearts!”
Chelsey began working in real estate when she was just 21 years old, selling acreages at Somerville, then shifting to the Bayside area for a year, before returning to the Peninsula.
“I love it down here. I’m Peninsula born and bred, and I really believe you should live in the community you sell in.”
So, the busy young couple purchased the property, and began planning to redevelop the site – building two townhouses, selling one off-the-plan to finance the project, and living in the other. Meanwhile Adam was establishing his business, Sports Sense Physio in Mornington, and Chelsey was running full steam ahead as one of the Peninsula’s most hardworking and successful sales agents. She was also pregnant with their first child.
“The bulldozers were actually booked on my due date,” Chelsey said.
“I was heavily pregnant, and we had to pack up and move everything out, and the plan was to live with my parents while the new townhouses were being built.” So, Chelsey, Adam, and before long newborn son, Mason, and not forgetting cocker spaniel ‘Gus’ spent the next 10 months at Chelsey’s parents’ house in nearby Frankston South.
“Actually, it was really lovely! Perfect timing for me! It meant I had the help at hand if I wanted to get back to work, which I did, taking on a listing when Mase was just two-weeks-old!”
