Sarah Lorden has been appointed as a board member of the Real Estate Institute of NSW, for the 2009-11 term. The appointment marks another proud professional achievement for Sarah Lorden, who has forged a place as one of Sydney's most respected women in business.
Since establishing her boutique Balmain business in 1996 with her sister Kate, Sarah Lorden has guided the independent agency to become the Inner West's most successful and highly awarded.

A major ongoing supporter of charities and local community organisations, Sarah Lorden was also this year's winner of the John Greig OAM Community Service.
Having set standards for other agencies to emulate through her own business, Sarah believes her board appointment will now provide a further avenue to help positively influence the industry and produce better outcomes for the public.
Balmain Buyers Out in Force
Monday, 8 March 2010
The peninsula has proved particularly popular amongst buyers in 2010, with Sarah Lorden Real Estate securing a string of outstanding results. Auctions were hotly contested over the weekend, with large crowds witnessing some excellent sales. At 8 Elliott Street, Balmain renovators competed for a basic two bedroom terrace, with bidding escalating to a sale price of $688,000. Bidding for a nearby two bedroom apartment at 440 Darling Street, climbed higher to reach a sale price well above expectations.
Also scheduled for an auction last weekend was a two bedroom apartment in Colgate Avenue, Balmain, however after just one week on the market, the property sold prior to auction for $805,000. Buyer interest was also extremely strong for a two bedroom townhouse in Beattie Street, Balmain, which last week sold for $25,000 more than its original asking price of $925,000.
With the market now in such strong shape, those considering selling would clearly be well advised to act fast and take advantage of the current favourable conditions.
