About Shelley

Property Management and Management Team

Portfolio manager Shelley Walsh-McCullagh leads the property management team at Touch Residential, the family business she and Mathew set up in Griffin. Born on the Sunshine Coast, she has called the Moreton Bay area home since she was 10 and knows its suburbs the way only a local can. Her real estate career began in a role servicing Kallangur through to Ipswich, where she learned property management from the ground up and became its business development manager. She managed everything from caravan parks and National Rental Affordability Scheme properties to market rentals for first-time and multi-property investors. That experience propelled her to build her own portfolio, her own relationships and a trusted brand in her community. She backs it with a Bachelor of Business Management from the University of Queensland (2010 to 2012), majoring in real estate and development.

Shelley knows renting can feel overwhelming, whether you are looking for a place to live or handing over the keys to the family home. That is why she loves being the trusted middle person: the one who helps both sides feel safe, secure and looked after, one client at a time. Her favourite part? The variety, because no day is the same. Her proudest achievement is the high-performing, multicultural, close-knit team she and Mathew lead, and watching them reach new heights in their careers. Ten years strong, and ready for more decades of hard work and laughs.

At home in Griffin, Shelley is tackling the teen and toddler eras at once: a step mum of 10 years to two teenagers, and mum to daughter Marlee since 2025. Ducky the Australian Shepherd rounds out the family, a lover of all people and toys and 100% motivated by treats. An only child and, by her own admission, fiercely independent, Shelley is an avid Brisbane Lions supporter, complete with grand final day decorations and last-minute September flights to Melbourne. She is an unashamed Nickelback and Robbie Williams fan, and a firm believer that everything is better with a coffee, or a Pinot Noir.

Client testimonials

What Shelley’s clients say

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the services of Shelley Walsh for her outstanding efforts and assistance in finding a new home for myself and my family. Prior to dealing with Shelley I had contacted a lot of other real estate agents with enquiries about prospective properties. In most cases, I would get an answering service and leave a message, however few other agents would even bother to return my call. Those that did call me back didn't do so for several days later. Shelley returned my call within the hour and we discussed my needs. Although I was not purchasing a home, and indicated I was only looking for a rental, Shelley was more than helpful, very courteous and very professional. I wanted to relocate from the Redcliffe Peninsula to the Strathpine Central area so as to be closer for my son's schooling and Shelley presented me a home that was under my budget and more than suitable to my needs. Shortly after moving in, we discovered that the telephone connection was missing, then unfortunately we had a minor plumbing issue. To my surprise, neither were a problem for Shelley. An even bigger surprise was after a major storm went through the region, Shelley contacted me to see if we fared okay and asked if the property sustained any damage. As a former landlord myself, I was very impressed with this.

Shelley has singlehandedly transformed the unit complex from taking it on by firstly being highly organised and efficient in all of her dealings with the tenants by upholding a high standard of expectations of care and cleanliness for the apartments. She operates in a friendly manner that engages the tenants and is always 'firm but fair'. In vetting and signing new tenants, Shelley has the knack of getting the best tenants into the property and has made a tangible difference to the overall environment as a result of her careful tenant selection and subsequent management of them. It has indeed been my pleasure to deal with Shelley and I can whole heartedly recommend her services to you.

We just wanted to quickly acknowledge Shelley for the amazing work she does. Having been through many real estates before, not once have we encountered someone who manages to show great professionalism as well as genuine care mixed together to the extent Shelley does. Always willing to help no matter how big or small the situation was. Would very much and happily recommend Shelley to family and friends. Keep up the great work Shelley!
