KEY TAKEAWAYS
Carole originally started in hotels, went into sales and marketing and started getting into property investing by accident. She started working for a real estate company, where she met a mortgage broker who introduced her into many other contacts. She then started finding and selling property investments for others.
After some time she found a big deal for herself but it was right when the property market crashed in 2008 and she lost a lot of money, it’s something that was painful but she learnt a lot from.
Carole still does a lot of deal packaging, most of her clients never even see their property, they aren’t emotionally invested and they trust Carole completely.
When Carole went to her first Progressive event it was quite overwhelming. Despite the progress in the world it is still a very male dominated industry and she had doubts about whether she was in the right place.
You can’t just sell to someone straight away. You have to build a relationship and in something like deal packing, it is so important that they can fully trust you. You have to allow them to see your previous work, projects and even speak to past clients.
BEST MOMENTS
“My life’s been a bit like the stock market”
“97% of my clients never even see their property”
“Property is a male dominated area”
