What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
It's The Real Estate Podcast, brought to you by Ray White, the largest real estate and property group in Australasia. And welcome to another episode of The Real Estate Podcast. We're talking to someone who has mastered the whole positive can-do attitude of just getting out there and doing it. Her name is Emily Hazel from Melbourne, who's got a great backstory for those of us who might be doubting ourselves, especially in the times that we're living with external stresses preventing us from living life to the fullest. She is a real estate investor, a cafe owner, and has a degree in interior architecture and graphic design, and at one point even ran a nanny service at the age of 15.
What inspired Emily Hazell to pursue a career in real estate?
So Emily, welcome to the podcast. Perhaps we can start off with you talking me through the very beginning of how you got into real estate.
Well, I guess also to learn a little bit more about me, I also have ADHD, so that helps with being a high achiever. I can't sit still for more than two minutes. But dad is a property developer. Him and his two brothers have been doing it for 30, 40 years. So I grew up around it, seeing them buy blocks in the 80s and 90s and knock them down and build townhouses. So I think it was definitely in my blood and we'd sit down at the dining table and he'd show me, you know, floor plans and how to draw windows and doors. And when I was in primary school, he sat down with me and we drew a townhouse together and then he ended up building that off my design. So it's something that I was very passionate about. And I actually opened my, yeah, the eatery when I was 24 and I'd been working on that for
like nearly 10 years and I'd been saving. I ran this nanny agency from when I was 15. I started working when I was 12 and I just had this goal of putting away $500 a week for nearly a decade. So I opened up my cafe, but then the day I opened it, I actually used all those savings and I had $246 in the bank account. And then I had to start saving again from opening the cafe. So owning your own food venue, you do save a lot of money because food is such a huge cost for us. So I ate breakfast, lunch and dinner there for the next four years until I purchased my first property. And I guess because I've got that design blood in me, I did my first flip. I held onto it, but I used the equity to go for the second one.
So real estate is not only something that seems to be in your blood and you were exposed to from a very young age, but you also like to help first home buyers and especially young women achieve that first step on the property market. So tell me a little bit more about that.
Yeah, I guess something that I learned through a few different entrepreneur courses that I did was just jump and build your plane on the way down. And so I've taken that over into real estate as well. There's never going to be the perfect house, the perfect market, the perfect time. You've just got to jump and then you'll just continue learning as you go. So because I started so young, I knew that every house that I did, I'm going to continue to learn something through. So you have to, of course, do that research. And then in the end, you'll sort of just go with your gut and you'll think, yep, this is the one that we can do the reno on, or this is somewhere that we can live for a few years to wait for the equity to go up.
So that was something that I guess I've had to teach myself and then that's what I want to teach others. And then working with the best team. So, um, I learned about this thing called a 100 list. So you make a list of whatever you want to do. So I did this for my eatery and I reached out to a hundred people in the industry who could teach me. So I would just literally get on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook. Now we're so lucky with all the technology LinkedIn, and I'd reach out to these people say, Hey, can I just have a 10 minute coffee with you? And I'd ask them all the questions. And so I've done that with real estate now as well. And now I've got an amazing team of lenders, brokers, insurance, my lawyers, and everyone that I work with like that.
