    What 2 Real Estate Directors Wish They Knew When They Started in the Industry

    Expectations vs. Reality: Real Estate Edition. Let’s just say we’ve seen a lot happen in the Australian Real Estate Industry 😅 Coming up to the end of the year, and with Kirst about to have her second baby we thought it’d be a great time to reflect back a bit on our careers, bust some myths and talk about few stories we haven’t spoken about on the pod yet… We’re answering: - What we thought real estate was going to be like… and how different it actually was - Whether we remember our first listing… and what really happened - The moments we genuinely questioned whether real estate was for us - What we’d go back and tell our younger selves at the start of our careers - The things that used to stress us out that now feel ridiculous in hindsight - The real estate advice we were given early on… that ended up being completely wrong - What we think we would’ve done if we weren’t in real estate at all - How we learned to deal with rejection (and how much you really have to) - What would shock our younger selves about where we are now - If we’d still choose real estate again knowing everything we know today - What success actually means to us right now … and SO much more.

As Co-Director at Place Kangaroo Point, Michael racks up 500,000+ views on campaigns (when most agents are lucky to get 30-40k), has built one of the largest social followings of any Australian agent, AND still finds time to lead a 28-person office while selling some of Queensland’s biggest homes.
