Established in Cardwell in 1992 by Lindsay and Jennifer Hallam, the business has grown into one of North Queensland’s most trusted and professional agencies.
Leading the way today is Tamara Stokes, a respected and driven businesswoman who purchased the agency in 2022. Her journey with Hinchinbrook Real Estate began more than a decade ago when Lindsay and Jennifer recognised her potential and brought her on board. Since then, Tamara has become a vital part of the community “This is a family-owned business. I have a husband, children, and just like everyone else, my life revolves around my family and the business. I’m a mum living the everyday life, I just happen to work in real estate.”
Tamara’s passion for Cardwell is evident not just in her professional achievements but also in her personal commitment to the region. A local through and through, in 2013 she established herself as a leading real estate agent. Having upgraded her licences under the guidance of the previous owners, Tamara has maintained the agency’s reputation and driving growth all while keeping Cardwell at the heart of the business.
“If we were approached to take on property, we would never say no!” Tamara says confidently, embodying her determination to support the community’s evolving needs. With properties spanning Bilyana, Cardwell, Kennedy, Forrest Beach, and even some in Ingham as their reach is growing.
Working alongside Tamara is Kaci Newman, the dynamic property manager who started her real estate journey in 2020. A proud local and former sports star, Kaci brings her passion for the community and her professional expertise to the team.
Together, Tamara and Kaci are not just real estate professionals but integral members of the Hinchinbrook community, driven by a shared goal of making Cardwell a jewel in the Queensland tourism crown.
