About Elisa
Elisa Mayberry is the Co-Principal of First National Real Estate Bundaberg, where she leads one of the region’s longest-standing and most respected agencies with a clear focus on people, performance, and community.
With a career that spans hospitality, retail, banking, and small business ownership across multiple countries, Elisa brings a broad perspective to real estate. Her early experience in high-level customer service and operations has shaped the way she approaches both leadership and client relationships, grounded, practical, and focused on outcomes.
Since acquiring the business with her husband Justin in 2021, Elisa has played a central role in its growth and direction. The agency continues to expand its presence across Bundaberg and the Wide Bay region. Her influence can be seen in the way the business blends long-standing local knowledge with modern marketing, including digital walkthroughs, video content, and a strong online presence.
Elisa is known for her hands-on leadership style. She maintains an open-door approach with her team and has built a workplace where many staff have remained for more than a decade. That level of consistency flows through to clients, who value the steady, informed guidance they receive whether they are selling, buying, or entrusting their investment to the property management team.
Beyond the office, Elisa is deeply involved in the local community. She is the President of the Bundaberg Business Women's Network, where she leads initiatives that support and connect women in business. One of the most visible outcomes of this is the EmpowerHER MarketFest, an event she helped launch in 2023 and continues to grow, giving local business owners a platform to showcase their work and build confidence.
She also contributes through sponsorships, charity support, and her role as a Justice of the Peace, quietly helping people with everyday matters that still carry importance.
Elisa’s work has been recognised at both a national and international level, including awards for business leadership, marketing, and community impact. Still, she tends to place more weight on the relationships built over time, with clients, with staff, and within the community.
Her approach is fairly simple when you strip it back. Focus on doing the job properly, look after people, and build something that lasts. It sounds straightforward, but in practice, it takes consistency, and that is where she has made her mark.
