About Us

With our combined Real Estate
experience, we formed Intelligent
Property Investments Pty Ltd to work
together rather than individually.

As a marketing tool we chose a WW11 Jeep as a point of difference to create business.

We have successfully negotiated the most difficult of residential sales and development sites each complementing our expertise. It is an interesting journey of commitment in all aspects of Real Estate to client satisfaction.

History of the jeep

The history of the WW2 Jeep goes back to 1941. The US Army wanted a 4×4 light reconnaissance vehicle to replace horses and motor cycles. In 1942 a standard model was chosen to be built by Willys and Ford and over 636,000 were made between them.

At one time the Ford Plant was producing 20 units per hour, one every 3 minutes. It is estimated there are about 5,000 in Australia in various degrees of condition. 12,365 were delivered to Australia and it is estimated there is currently about 5,000 in the country in various degrees of condition ranging from rusting in a paddock to concourse display.

The Jeep has been described as slow, noisy, uncomfortable, cold in winter, hot in summer and wet when it rains.

It has no stereo, no heater, no legroom and very little horsepower. In spite of this, few vehicles are as much fun to drive. It remains one of the few recognised vehicles in the world. The original Jeeps were only expected to last about 90 days. Over 70 years later, many of them are still going strong…ours is.

We chose the Jeep for sales and marketing as a point of difference between us and all other real estate agents.

It’s always a talking point at Opens and Auctions and helps to bring people to inspect the Property.

It stands out. 

The Jeep has a reputation for reliability, resilience and trust.

It gets the job done…so do we!

  • Irene Bulmer - Director

    Licenced Real Estate Agent - Licenced Strata Agent

    I began my career in real estate when there were few women in the industry. At that time, a high level of education and experience were not requirements for real estate agents.

    Following a 4 year course, I gained my real estate and strata license. I began working for a small Inner West Agency to gain experience. I was there for 6 years until the owner closed the agency. I then had an opportunity to work for larger Inner West Agency and after 17 years I left.

    I then branched out and bought an office in Newtown. It was a franchise office employing staff in sales and property management. I operated the successful office for 6 years. I sold for because of a family tragedy.

    Having had nearly 40 years in the industry, I am dedicated, passionate and have the ability to listen to clients needs.

    It is one of the largest investments a buyer can make and it is important to guide the buyer through the process. It is also our responsibility to work with owners of properties to get the best result.
