What 2 Real Estate Directors Wish They Knew When They Started in the Industry

Expectations vs. Reality: Real Estate Edition. Let’s just say we’ve seen a lot happen in the Australian Real Estate Industry 😅 Coming up to the end of the year, and with Kirst about to have her second baby we thought it’d be a great time to reflect back a bit on our careers, bust some myths and talk about few stories we haven’t spoken about on the pod yet… We’re answering: - What we thought real estate was going to be like… and how different it actually was - Whether we remember our first listing… and what really happened - The moments we genuinely questioned whether real estate was for us - What we’d go back and tell our younger selves at the start of our careers - The things that used to stress us out that now feel ridiculous in hindsight - The real estate advice we were given early on… that ended up being completely wrong - What we think we would’ve done if we weren’t in real estate at all - How we learned to deal with rejection (and how much you really have to) - What would shock our younger selves about where we are now - If we’d still choose real estate again knowing everything we know today - What success actually means to us right now … and SO much more.

REPLAY Simone Azzi: How to Avoid Bad Reviews in Real Estate (and Build a 20 Year Career Doing It)

With 20 years in the game, zero sick days, and one of the most recognisable names in Sydney’s Inner West… Simone Azzi from Belle Property has built her reputation on consistency, authenticity and an unshakeable work ethic. In this replay episode, Simone is sitting down to talk to us about what she has seen over the two decades that she’s worked in the real estate industry: including being the one of the only female agents in the area, going back to work 6 days after having a baby, and how she manages to never get any bad reviews (in an industry that’s full of them). You’ll hear: - What her day actually looks like + why she’s still writing reports at 11pm - How Simone balances spending time with her kids, and still hustling - Why her husband gave up his own career so she could grow hers - How Simone built a reputation that means she always gets the second and third listing (even if they don’t go with her for the first) - Why caring is both her biggest strength AND biggest weakness - What she won’t tolerate in her team - Why she still mops floors, folds toilet paper, and fixes beds before opens … and SO much more.

Shane Spiteri: I haven't told the full truth... What I Hid for 35 Years and Why I’m Leaving Real Estate

“I’m still getting people asking me ‘What the f*ck have you done?” He’d built and sold multiple offices, been the top agent nine years in a row, and had what most people would call a dream career… But behind the success, there was a part of himself he’d been hiding. In this episode, Shane is opening up about what really led to his decision to retire. From the pressure to always be “10 out of 10,” the burnout that comes with chasing perfection, and what it’s like to finally slow down. For the first time, he is also sharing what it was like navigating the industry as a gay man… why he kept that part of himself hidden for 35 years, the comments that made him feel like he couldn’t be open, and what’s changed since he finally decided to live life as his authentic self.
