What are your top three secrets to success?
I would not say that they are secrets, however hard work, professionalism and people skills will always guarantee success.
What is the one thing you wish someone had taught you or told you when you first started out in property and why?
That disappointment is part of a property sales advisor’s existence and that persistence is a key factor in the success or failure of your career. You need to be able to get back up after a sale has fallen through and remain as positive as you were before it happened.
What is the most vital business tool that estate agents should have at their disposal in today’s market and why?
Excellent customer service, quality photographs and making use of technology such as websites and social media to feature your properties.
Do you remember the first property you sold? Please tell us about it.
Definitely. It was an unforgettable feeling bringing together my first seller and a buyer, and seeing that they were both happy and enthusiastic about either their new dream home or the choice they made to sell their property and take the next step.
What advice would you give to new kids on the block about making a success in their career in property?
Work hard, believe in yourself and trust in God. It is also important to never forget who you really are no matter how successful you become.
