So I grew up in a very real estate focused household. My mom was a tax accountant and my dad used to buy and sell real estate after buying and selling cars. So buying and selling was something that I'd seen for a lot of my life. The home that I grew up in, we renovated it and sold it. And that's where I saw my first real estate process roll out. And from there, sitting in the audience, watching how an auction works, I was hooked by the dopamine of it, I think. I was so intrigued by buyer behavior and how people respond under pressure. And my dad and I used to watch auctions every Saturday. So from about eight or nine years old, from there, I knew I really wanted to be a part of it. And that's how I've landed where I am today.
That is a front row seat on the action of what is going on. Not dissimilar to me because I'm not a real estate agent. Yes, I bought my first property when I was 19. I've traded in property all my life. I know property inside out. But sitting here doing what I've been doing over the last handful of years... my goodness me, I mean, I have learned so, so much. How can you not? And the same thing, you got hooked?
I got absolutely hooked. There's so many peaks and troughs to buying and selling. And the thing about it is, it's not because of all the emotions that play into it and all the money stakes, I suppose, front of mind when you're buying and selling, it's really money, right? Money and emotion. It's just that there's never been the same scenario play out twice. And I think for me, that's what makes it so interesting is that I never stop learning.
Right, let's move into Surrey Hills. It is an exclusive part of Sydney and it's also, people might not know this, it is the capital of mum and dad borrowing money out to their children. This is something that you have been a part of for some time.
Absolutely. Yes, it's full of yuppies and dinks. That's what we call it. So double income earners, the fresh blood rolling into the trends of what Surrey Hills offers and the convenience of it. But yes, a lot of first time buying activity in this market.
This is a fantastic story you were telling me off air. You had a client wanting to consult with a clairvoyant before they made their decision. Tell us about that one.
Oh my goodness. I am going to bang my head against the wall telling this story again. I had a client who we had a very, very specific brief for a warehouse property. I had sourced what I had felt had ticked more boxes than the brief that he had initially given me after a four-month search, which by the way is quite long for me.
