She has been recognised for her innovation, professionalism and commitment to supporting others over many years. This includes being named the Telstra Northern Territory Business Woman of the Year and her company being named the Housing Industry Association Australian Small Builder of the Year. Karinda created Abode Property Management as the size of her Investment Property portfolio grew to where it warranted having a dedicated full-time property manager. For her this was an opportunity to provide the level of service she had been looking for as a property investor – it is all about contented landlords and appreciated tenants.Karinda and her family love the Darwin lifestyle and enjoy living in the rural area. The whole family is heavily involved in a wide range of sports and particularly motor sports – anything with a motor appeals to the Gill boys!
