Experience that shapes better decisions
Experience matters most when it changes the quality of the decisions being made.
After almost a decade in property, Bernadette understands the decisions that can influence a sale long before a property appears online.
When should you sell? What should you do before going to market? Who is the likely buyer? How should the property be positioned? What is worth spending money on and what isn’t? How should the campaign respond once buyers start giving you information?
Bernadette takes the time to understand the property and, just as importantly, what the owner is trying to achieve.
Then she builds the strategy around both.
Strong results. Strong relationships.
Bernadette’s track record spans residential homes, land and lifestyle property throughout the Clarence Valley.
Third-party sales data also demonstrates substantial recent transaction experience. Realestate.com.au has recorded dozens of sales attributed to Bernadette over recent reporting periods, while verified reviews consistently reference her market knowledge, preparation, communication and ability to achieve strong outcomes.
One recent seller described her advice on preparing their property for market as giving them confidence throughout the process. Another credited her market knowledge and thoughtful sales preparation with a sale that exceeded their expectations.
That combination matters to Bernadette.
Because performance and relationships shouldn’t compete with each other.
They should strengthen each other.
Tailored strategy for every property.
There is no Pilot Hill sales template. A home in Angourie shouldn’t be marketed the same way as a family home in Yamba. A lifestyle property outside Maclean has a different audience again.
Bernadette and the Pilot Hill team begin by asking better questions.
Who is most likely to value this property? What will matter to them? Where will we find them? What is the story they need to understand? How should the property be presented and positioned? What will create genuine competition?
Then we plan the campaign around the answers.
From presentation, photography and storytelling to audience targeting, buyer follow-up and negotiation, every element has a job to do.
And once the campaign is live, we stay close to it.
We listen to the market, review buyer behaviour and continually look for opportunities to improve performance.
Sometimes the right advice is not to sell.
Bernadette takes a long-term view of property.
That means the objective isn't to win every listing today.
It's to give advice worth trusting.
If selling now isn't in your best interests, Bernadette will tell you.
If preparing differently could improve your eventual result, she'll explain why.
And if there's an opportunity worth acting on, she'll help you understand it.
“My goal is to build the kind of trust that means whenever you have an important property decision to make, we’re the team you call.”
- Bernadette Rice
Because the relationship shouldn't end at settlement.
Why Bernadette chose Pilot Hill.
Bernadette joined Pilot Hill in August ‘26 because she saw a property business being built around many of the same principles that have shaped her career.
Individual thinking. Proactive execution. Strong relationships.
And a belief that every genuine opportunity to improve a property’s performance should be explored.
Pilot Hill brings together sales, property management and holiday management, giving owners access to a team that understands property from more than one perspective.
For Bernadette, it was a natural fit.
