Now that it’s getting on for a 30 year relationship, the more equitable fee structure is still an important aspect, although there is a lot more that has kept me committed to the group. Being associated with Professionals image and integrity is high on my list and I value my name being linked to a strong and respected brand.

Doing business in Southland means working right across the real estate spectrum of residential, rural and commercial sectors. I’ve learned the importance of prospecting to develop a strong area network and working to build superior marketing systems. Nowadays, I’m happy to share these core business principles with my associates. After all, it’s been my own discussions with the group’s top performers that have helped me refine my thinking and build my business profile.

I also have a strong belief in proactive training and a structured recruitment process. It’s critical for my salespeople to be educated in presenting and carrying out the best marketing plans. Having the framework within the group to do this is enormously important. Communication is another key tool and we benefit from having access to excellent technology and systems, including an invaluable intranet.
