How did you start in the real estate business? Have you always worked in this industry or did you do something else previously?

I started straight out of school in a small boutique agency which is close to where I grew up near the Blue Mountains. The market is quite different out there as I would be dealing with envirocycles, water access lines, paddocks and fences day to day as opposed to lifts, DA applications and strata agents.

Seeing the different ways people live. Dealing with clients from all walks of life.

What would you like to see done differently in the real estate industry?

A major overhaul in the education process in order to be come an agent to eliminate the cowboys and bring back a good healthy name to the industry.

What’s your advice to a young person thinking of entering the real estate profession?

Stay focused. Put in the hours and maintain a good reputation through honesty and transparency.
