And I thought, God, what have I done?

A new career in the middle of a pandemic.

But that turned out wonderfully.

And then during the pandemic, when we were in lockdown last year, was when the conversation shifted to us maybe starting to call some auctions in-house.

And I'd always loved the idea of calling auctions.

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.

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

So I would, 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.
