I rise to celebrate the achievement of a great small business in my electorate. I congratulate Musgrove Realty on two awards they received at Rate My Agent's Agent of the Year Awards ceremony, held in Melbourne a couple months ago. Musgrove Realty is a family-owned real-estate agency based in Laguna, a great small town in the picturesque Wollombi Valley. The family-owned business is led by selling principal Garry Musgrove and his son, Kurt Musgrove, who are integral members of the Laguna community and surrounds.

The Wollombi Valley is a beautiful, scenic part of my electorate that can easily be visited when travelling north of Sydney towards the Hunter, and I highly recommend that people make the trip. Small businesses like Musgrove Realty provide high-quality services that make the Hunter a great place to live. In recognition of the excellent service they provide to the community, Musgrove Realty received two awards. Firstly, Musgrove Realty was recognised as being in the top five per cent of real-estate agencies in Australia in terms of customer satisfaction. Secondly, Gary Musgrove was recognised as the top agent for Laguna. Congratulations to you, Garry and Kurt, and the whole team at Musgrove Realty. I thank you and all the hardworking small businesses across the Hunter for serving our community so well.
