We’re all about human-centered real estate — because whether you're buying, selling, or just exploring your options, it should never come with stress or pressure. With empathy at our core and deep local expertise in property management and sales, we’re here to walk beside you with real estate integrity, transparency, and care every step of the way.
In a world where real estate can feel rushed and transactional, we choose to slow down and listen. At About Time Real Estate, we prioritize human-centered real estate practices that focus not just on closing deals but on building trust and community. We take the time to understand your story, delivering expert guidance infused with a genuinely human touch and just the right amount of humour, all while upholding the highest standards of real estate integrity in our property management services.
We are REAL real estate professionals focused on human-centered real estate, always ready to provide you with expert advice on buying, selling, or investing in properties. We avoid the hard sell and glossy brochures; instead, we prioritize real estate integrity, offering honest advice and effective assistance. We recognize the importance of all the moving parts of the real estate transaction, including Vendor/Owner and Buyer/Tenant, while also ensuring quality property management.
I, Sharon Clements, formerly Sharon Turner, have been a real estate agent since 2000, prior to which I was a successful business owner in the tourism and commercial cleaning sectors.
The PM Ninja name was bestowed upon me by industry peers who recognised my embrace of technological and legislative change, and my exceptional generosity in supporting everyone I could, always making time to help my peers.
In 1999, I started About Time Real Estate, making my dream of owning my own Agency come true with the sole aim to prove to the world that I could do real estate differently, with empathy, and most importantly, with unshakeable ethics.
Then my entire world shifted in December of 2022. I met Carl, whom I was smart enough to marry in April 2024. I became the "we"-Sharon and Carl.
Carl Clements joined the agency in May 2024, after obtaining his unrestricted registration, part-time time at first, and now full-time time since November 2025, not just as my husband but as an exceptionally experienced commercial Project Manager, enterprise IT engineer and cybersecurity expert, bringing his real-world experience onboard, alongside a shared strong sense of ethics.
Not many couples work together well, but you only have to see Carl and me together to know that the universe aligned to pair us.
We do not use our Landlords/Vendors to pay to market our agency; we rely almost solely on word-of-mouth referrals from owners, tenants, trades, sellers, buyers, and other industry peers to promote our services, as they truly value our difference and individual approach.
We do not, and never will, outsource our services; everything is done end-to-end in-house.
We have a unique approach to ensuring we are accessible to all clients when they need us.
We recognise the real value of the hidden work we do and the many ways we add value. These must be experienced to be appreciated, because we do actually personally handle and have our own eyes on managing your investment, sale, tenancy, maintenance, and more, not just your emails and expectations.
We work with our clients, not just for them. We consistently outperform larger agencies because we can get things done now, rather than waiting for the relevant staff member to do the work or even be at work at all, or book the job to an outsourcing company, handing your data to someone you do not even know.
We are not a "boutique" agency; we are a full-service agency offering property management, residential sales, and retail and commercial management. We do not offer strata management.
We are a low-volume, highly personalised agency that treats each client and each property as the individual people or assets they are, and lessors or tenants, sellers or buyers, through to trusted tradespeople; you are never just another number on the books to us. We are not building a rentroll to sell; we have built a community of people we love working with.
Our ideal clients are those who understand that the fees, the awards, and the most prominent offices do not guarantee the best service, often actually costing them money, who want to know who they are truly dealing with; and who want a working relationship, not just a monthly statement, cheapest fees, rent collection service or a game of who is my PM this week?.
"It's About Time" that you worked with an agency that sees you!
Not just another bonus paid to the BDM that slaps your file on the desk of the already overworked Property Manager. (Been the PM)
