Property Pros by Day, Light Up Champs by Night!

If you’ve ever wondered who’s behind those sleek property listings and SOLD signs around Cromwell, look no further than Justine Burke and Ben Terry — the dynamic duo behind Sotheby’s International Realty Cromwell.

Known for their sharp market knowledge and friendly professionalism, they’re also big believers in supporting their community — which is why they’ve proudly come on board as Silver sponsors of Light Up Winter Cromwell 2025.

“We love being part of something that lights up both the town and people’s faces,” says Justine. “Light Up Winter is pure Cromwell magic — it brings people together at the time of year when connection matters most.”

“For Ben, supporting the event is about staying connected to the heart of the region. ‘It’s a great way to celebrate the people and places that make this town, and surrounding districts what it is,’ he says. ‘We’re not just in real estate — we’re part of the fabric.’”

When it comes to favourite moments, both agree the lantern release is a standout. “It’s breathtaking,” says Ben. “A real reminder of how special this place is.”

Justine adds, “The atmosphere is just amazing — everyone rugged up, glowing hats, rosy cheeks. It’s winter joy at its finest.”

Of course, it wouldn’t be Sotheby’s without a little personality. “I’m the enthusiastic one,” laughs Justine. “I love people, ideas, and a bit of sparkle.” Ben smiles, “And I’m probably the mellow one — logical, quietly competitive. We complement each other brilliantly. Justine brings energetic hustle from her high-end construction sales background, and I bring calm, detail-focused strategy from over a decade in property. Together, we’re a team our clients can rely on.”

And if they were entering the Light Up Your Hat competition? Justine is quick to answer: “Mine would be a glowing miniature house — complete with picket fence and fairy lights!” Ben, ever the minimalist, laughs: “One perfectly placed bulb. Classic Ben!”

As sponsors, their support helps keep the event free and magical for all — and they’re proud to play their part.
