Simone’s philosophy is that real estate is not about renting, selling or buying, but about helping people move, and moving is something Simone knows well.

The majority of people cringe at the thought of moving, but Simone truly loves it, buying her first house at the age of 21. Simone has owned investment properties in Toowoomba and also has rented on several occasions while building. This means she has experienced all sides of real estate having been a landlord, tenant, buyer and seller.

Simone has over 18 years experience in real estate sales and property management in Toowoomba and is a licenced Real Estate Agent. She has worked closely with Rebecca for most of her 18 years in real estate and together over their mutual love of coffee, the concept of Blackbird and Finch was born in 2016 and the concept was brought to life in 2017.

In her previous life, Simone spent ten years working in the IT industry in Brisbane. During that time she upheld various roles including Quality Officer, Production Manager, Project Manager and Consultant. She worked in private enterprise consulting to one of Australia’s largest law firms, the Queensland Government, and also lectured at Griffith University.

Simone prides herself on providing honest advice and professional service to achieve the desired result for her clients and is a licenced real estate agent.

Simone has 2 adult sons and a 9 year old daughter.

Peter has lived most of his life in Toowoomba (44 years out of 53!), and married Toowoomba born Louise. With Louise, he’s raised two daughters to adulthood, and his main goal in real estate has always been to make his family proud of how he conducts business.

Peter was trained under the highly regarded Pittard real estate training system, which focuses on ethical conduct and client focused results. His many testimonials and repeat business attest to his skill and focus.

He has a love of the beautiful city of Toowoomba and plenty of knowledge on the city and surrounding areas. Peter has over 19 years of real estate selling experience and is a fully licenced agent.

Ray began his real estate career in 2004 in Toowoomba, starting with a company that could provide the best training he could find — but most importantly, ethics — a vital requirement in any business.

His previous sales background includes 11 years in the insurance industry and approximately 20 years in hospitality, both of which provided a wide range of experience working with people. Ray believes that authentic selling is about understanding people and creating relationships rather than focusing on a specific product.

Ray was the Principal of his own agency based in the Highfields area for over 8 years before joining the team in 2026 at Blackbird and Finch, and has worked closely with Peter, Simone and Rebecca for many years.
