Trudy Crooks

As Managing Director of ResortBrokers, Trudy has overseen the expansion of the family company’s network of brokers active across every state and territory nationally and her drive and enthusiasm has resulted in an exponential increase sales turnover.

The seeds of Trudy’s passion for the property industry were planted early. She originally began her career with ResortBrokers straight out of school, selling her first motel in Port Macquarie before she was 20. Then she spent almost a decade in London with the UK's leading real estate agency, Foxtons, where she rose through the ranks to run their blue-chip Mayfair office in London.

Today, Trudy is a driving force behind ResortBrokers' ongoing success and expansion, handling recruiting, induction and all broker training. She travels extensively to support her sales team and monitor the region’s diverse and dynamic accommodation markets.

Responding to demand for ResortBrokers’ services in the hotel sector, Trudy launched and heads the company’s dedicated Hotels Division, focused on assisting major hotel operators such as Quest, Accor, Mantra, and Minor International expand their footprint in Australia.

Trudy still acts personally on key transactions nationwide from Tasmania to the Top End. Among her many significant sales is FV Brisbane, the city's first 5-star Peppers property, and the largest management rights sale ever in Australia. She also handled the multi-property Art Series Hotel Group sale for Melbourne-based Deague Group, and landmark CBD hotel sales including Sebel Launceston and Elan Soho Suites in Darwin.
