Connecting Families To Homes And Communities
Year in Review – Robyn Agius – Area Specialist
In the gentle pace of the Pioneer Valley, where each property holds a story of its own, Robyn Agius has quietly shaped her own impressive chapter. With new talent joining her ranks and a historic Marian building soon to welcome clients, Robyn’s accomplishments have been woven subtly into the fabric of the Valley, one sale, one step at a time. For Robyn, this year’s highlights are simply part of her dedication to the people and place she calls home.
Recognition for Robyn came this year in the form of the Area Specialist award for Top Regional Salesperson, a nod to her dedication and the impact she’s made.
“Forging a path for a new brand in this area has taken determination, persistence, and a clear vision of how Area Specialist is perceived in the region,” Robyn explains.
Guided by the innovative values of Area Specialist founder Michael Choi—transparent communication, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to clients—Robyn has set a standard of service that resonates with both her clients and community.
Robyn also achieved the Area Specialist Pinnacle Tier this year, a recognition awarded for outstanding sales performance. For every property sold, Robyn donates $1,000 to local schools or charities, “Thanks to my sellers, we’ve been able to give back in a way that truly impacts our local community,” she said.
Reflecting on a mosaic of memorable moments, she recounts a particularly special sale: “A lovely elderly family was living on a small regional acreage, and we sold their property in two parcels, nearly reaching $1M.” But her support didn’t stop there; she also helped them find their next home, a match that’s turned out beautifully for the family.
“Knowing I could assist them in this next chapter is something I’ll always cherish,” she says.
Set to open this November, her Marian office represents another milestone—a labour of love that has deepened her ties to the Pioneer Valley’s history. Located on 337 Anzac Avenue, the building holds memories of yesteryear. As she renovates while preserving the building’s historical charm, Robyn is gathering stories of the building's past, hoping to honour its history for all who visit.
"The Valley has grown so much since we arrived in 2002, and I’m thrilled to be a part of that history," she says, and invites anyone who may have historic photos or information about the treasured building to share their knowledge with her.
Robyn’s passion for the Pioneer Valley runs so deep that it not only fuels her own work but inspires others to see the Valley’s potential as a united collective. If you flip this magazine over to Tripping, you'll find a feature dedicated to the beauty and heritage of the Pioneer Valley—a vision Robyn herself has championed, connecting a community where each success story builds momentum for the next.
As the demands of her career mounted, Robyn realised she needed to expand her team to elevate the experience for her clients. Enter Shirlz Russell, an independent agent renowned for her exceptional work ethic and unwavering integrity. Alongside her, Mackell Caruana has stepped in as the new administrative and social media whiz, enabling both Robyn and Shirlz to focus on what truly matters: their clients and community initiatives.
“Having them on board means we can deliver a level of service that truly reflects our commitment,” she said.
For Robyn, 2024 has been a remarkable chapter—a blend of professional triumphs, community dedication, and personal treasures. And as she looks to the future, one thing is certain: the Pioneer Valley is all the richer for her presence.
In a year full of professional highlights, what has been a personal highlight in 2024?
“My mum is here from New Zealand. It's been more than 15 years since she's been to Australia and at 83 with very poor vision, that is no small feat. This is a very special time and I am cherishing every moment, she is even quite taken with Allbe my mini Duschy.
