At Accord, we’re a team of talented, friendly and client-focussed professionals, with a wealth of combined experience.
Led by Founding Director, Nicole Faid, we’re committed to giving you expert legal advice and outstanding service, whether you’re buying, selling, subdividing, transferring, or developing property.
We offer a bespoke service, based on understanding our clients and providing support matched to their unique circumstances.
We build strong relationships with loyal clients who come back to us time and time again over the years. They recommend us to their friends, family and colleagues, with some of our clients being children and even grandchildren of original clients.
Our team members are selected for their property conveyancing knowledge, but more than that, for their business acumen and, above all, their focus on client service.
Training, for continuous improvement and expansion of knowledge, is at the heart of the Accord philosophy. The team spends dedicated time every week delving into the intricacies of legislation or keeping up to date on changes. We want every Accord client to receive the same level of knowledge and service, whichever team member they are dealing with.
We’re experts in our niche, but know our clients also have other needs when managing their property.
We’re part of an extended informal network of other property professionals, so if a client needs services such as estate planning, insurance, complex trust structures, litigation or town planning, we’ll refer them to one of our trusted peer organisations.
With over 23 years of property conveyancing experience under her belt, Nicole has a detailed knowledge of every aspect of the property buying and selling process. Not only is she an expert conveyancer, but also holds a Diploma of Financial Planning and has extensive mortgage experience. She can spot contract terms that might be a red flag to a lender and jeopardise loan approval. She therefore doesn’t simply review a contract in isolation, she asks very ‘lateral’ questions to pick up every element of a transaction profile.
Nicole has a sharp eye for ‘reading between the lines’ and has often identified potential issues early, saving clients a lot of unnecessary expense.
Nicole loves hiking and rates the Canadian Rockies and Yosemite as some of her favourite places to trek, but nothing beats her own backyard – particularly the Blue Mountains and Tasmania. She still has plenty of this vast country to explore.
Stephanie’s determination to ensure a seamless transaction for clients is coupled with her ability to always keep their best legal interest in mind. Her end-to-end management of a matter provides clients with the comfort and knowledge that they are being represented by a knowledgeable and dedicated conveyancer.
When she’s not making property transactions stress-free for clients, Stephanie enjoys reading, exploring new walking tracks with her dog and camping with family over the holidays and long weekends.
Melinda is a dedicated and knowledgeable conveyancer who consistently delivers seamless transactions for her clients. With a strong focus on client advocacy, she prioritises their legal interests throughout the entire process. Melinda’s end-to-end management of conveyancing matters ensures clients receive expert representation and peace of mind.
Outside of work, Melinda enjoys watching her beloved Hawks on the weekends and going to the football with her daughter, shopping and spending time with her family, nephews and niece.
