Ingrained in Canberra's History

PURNELL’s prominence on busy Giles Street in Kingston ensures a high volume of inquiry, and a significant part of their business comes from personal referrals.

This speaks to the strong foundation laid by founders Genette and Kevin, who have over 35 years of experience in the Canberra real estate market. Both are "Old Canberrans," having grown up and attended school locally, which gave them an intimate knowledge of the area. Today, their legacy is in good hands with two of their children, Brie and Nick, who are proud to continue serving the community with the same dedication and expertise.
