Jen Shorter

I’m incredibly proud to live and work by the values of authenticity and accountability—they’re the cornerstones of who we are at Hennessy Real Estate. These values aren’t just words on a wall; they’re how I show up every day, and I genuinely believe they’re what make this business so strong.

I love my role and my title—because I’ve worked hard for it. Being entrusted with this position is a true honour. I see myself as the “mother hen” of the HRE family—steady, dependable, and fiercely protective of our team and our brand. I’m passionate about what we do, and I pour everything into helping the business grow and succeed. I eat, breathe, and sleep HRE!

I’m a born-and-bred local, and Gunnedah is more than just where I live—it’s home. I’m incredibly proud of how our town has embraced growth in industries like mining, while still staying grounded in our agricultural roots. I travel often, but no matter where I go, there’s nothing like coming home to Gunnedah.

Outside of work, my family and friends mean the world to me. I love photography and find real joy in sharing my images—especially when I see them hanging on someone’s wall. I also enjoy reading, adult colouring, gardening, home renovating, and sitting by the ocean with a hot chocolate in hand. While I can swim, it’s the sound and rhythm of the sea that soothes my soul and helps me reset.

More than anything, I hope my clients feel genuinely cared for. I want them to know I have their best interests at heart, and that when they trust me with their property, they’re in safe hands. If they walk away smiling and feeling looked after, then I know I’ve done my job.
