Shonay Waters – Jump Real Estate

Few property managers come to the industry with the pedigree Shonay Waters brings. Before founding Jump Real Estate, Shonay spent more than 20 years in property and corporate marketing — including as Marketing Manager for the Real Estate Institute of Queensland (the state’s governing body for the industry), Marketing Manager for Colliers International, and National Head of Marketing and advisory board member for a multi-billion-dollar corporate enterprise.
Today, as Director and Principal Licensee of Jump Real Estate, Shonay channels that rare mix of marketing firepower and property expertise straight into her clients’ results — making sure their investments not only stand out in the market but are managed to the highest standards. Operating from Jump’s head office at 1302 Wynnum Road, Tingalpa, she looks after landlords right across the greater Brisbane market, with particular strength in the city’s eastern and bayside suburbs. From that Tingalpa head office, Jump has since expanded beyond Brisbane, with offices now also in Hervey Bay and Bundaberg.
Shonay is proud to lead the innovative, client-driven team at Jump Real Estate, with a relentless focus on lifting property management to a new level. For Brisbane investors who want a manager who treats their asset like her own — and has the marketing nous and systems to back it up — Shonay Waters and the team at Jump Real Estate are hard to beat.
