Tahnee Barnes wins LJ Hooker Bill Malouf's million dollar internship

LJ Hooker Double Bay director Bill Malouf has selected Canberra country girl Tahnee Barnes as his million dollar intern.

The 28 year old, who currently works in recruitment, beat nearly 200 hopefuls for the coveted three month internship.

“I am completely blown away to be named LJ Hooker’s Million Dollar Intern, I wanted it so badly but to actually have won is just amazing,” she said.

Malouf said Barnes stood out across all sections.

“From the start, Tahnee caught our attention, her video submission was well-thought out, and while she came across slightly nervous, you couldn’t help but feel her presentation was sincere.

"As the other videos began flowing in, we always used Tahnee as a benchmark,” he said.

"She received near perfect scores across all sections."

Barnes grew up on a farm in Crookwell in rural New South Wales.

She will spend three months shadowing Malouf, one of the highest profile agents in the industry.

Barnes will get an insight into every aspect of running a real estate business, from property management, sales, administration and management.

On top of the three month internship, Barnes will receive an AUDI car for the duration, a new business wardrobe and business cards.

Barnes spent 10 years in the military including deployments in Afghanistan and East Timor.
