Qfirst Property Investment Group named outstanding real estate agency

The Local Business Awards have named Marites Idea Novis as Blacktown’s business person of the year.

Novis’ business, Qfirst Property Investment Group, has also been named this year’s outstanding real estate agency.

The Sydney-based entrepreneur founded Qfirst in 2017.

“It is hard to put this feeling into words. Nevertheless, I am very honoured to receive these two awards as recognition of my hard work and that of the entire Qfirst Property Investment Group team,” she said.

Qfirst is geared specifically toward first-home buyers and investors, specialising in marketing pre-developed projects as well as finished properties.

“I established Qfirst Property Investment Group with the sole purpose of guiding and advising first-home buyers and investors on everything they need to know to reach their financial goals through property investment”, Novis said.

In one year, Qfirst has sold more than $75 million worth of properties.

This isn’t the first of Novis’ business endeavours, however. At the age of 29, she founded a family-owned Philippines-based company Quezon First Engineering Services.

The businesswoman also hosts seminars specifically aimed at helping first-home buyers and investors to better understand the ins and outs of the property market.

She describes the Qfirst Property Investment Group as the “new frontier” of the reale state industry.
