Above is a photo of me and my dad when I was just a few months old. My dad was a builder, and from the very beginning, I was immersed in the world of property. As a child, I would eagerly tag along to construction sites with him, and my favourite task was hosing down the concrete to set the foundation—it felt like I was helping build something important and loved that.

At 22, I officially joined my father’s business, starting in administration and finance before quickly moving into more hands-on work, like preparing and lodging DAs for small to medium developments. I worked closely with architects, surveyors, engineers, and many others who brought these projects to life. Over the years of training and experience, I developed a sharp eye for identifying the potential in any property, and I learned how to navigate every step of the development process.

Beyond developments, I’ve gained experience in commercial leasing and commercial property management moving into serviced offices and co-working environments. Along the way, I’ve built a network of incredible professionals in the property industry—people I trust and rely on for their expertise.

My passion for property is more than just a career; it’s in my blood. That passion led me to create Carmen Rudd Properties, where I now use everything I’ve learned to help others realise their property dreams, just as my dad did for me.
