And I put my hand up and said, look, let's give it a go.

I'll try some online auctions.

So it was actually a year ago yesterday that I called my first auction.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I knew that I would like to get into that space.

I've always been a bit of a fan of public speaking.

And early on, I knew that I wanted to get into it eventually.

And I guess the pandemic kind of just sped that up a little bit and thought, yeah, all right, well, rather than waiting five years or however long in the industry, let's jump in now and say yes and give it a whirl.

Yes, I was.

Yeah, from around 2012 till 2019, I was a marriage celebrant.

Very wonderful and enriching part of my career and then it just kind of shifted into real estate.

For me, it's always been a lifelong interest.

So I call myself a real estate hobbyist until I, you know, watching what's going on online and watching new sales in the area.

I used to keep a spreadsheet watching what was happening in my area just for interest sake.

And I knew that weddings were starting to be something that I wanted to try, you know, move away from at that point in time.

And a friend of mine said to me, you should get into real estate.

You'd be great at that.

So I remember around that time, I also saw the first Home by Holly sign on a neighbour in one of my streets in the neighbourhood.

And I thought, well, wait a second, this agency might actually be a bit of a cultural fit for me and the brand I'd built as a celebrant and who I was.
