Why did you decide to pursue a career in property?

What do you find to be the most enjoyable and the most challenging aspects of the job?
The most enjoyable aspect is the fact that there are no limits for growth. If you couple good business skills with a good attitude and superior work ethic, you can realise fantastic rewards. The most challenging aspect is to develop an effective marketing strategy and to manage my time effectively.
