On episode 16 of Raising the Bar, George sits down with Rebecca Russell from Place Kangaroo Point – the agent who went from bartending and selling cosmetic holidays, to becoming the number one attraction agent in Richlands with the highest average sale price and volume in the suburb.
Rebecca’s story is wild: starting in property management, building a rent roll from scratch, switching to sales, becoming a mum and still managing to out-perform an entire postcode through nothing but consistency, relationships and a seriously dialled in process.
We cover:
– The career rise: how Rebecca carved out a name in Richlands without being a local, her transition from property manager to agent to lead agent and her advice for anyone considering the same path.
– Winning in real estate as a new mum: Rebecca’s strategies, systems and practical tips for young mums who want to stay in the game without burning out.
– Work/life balance that actually works: routines, boundaries, non-negotiables and how she built a lifestyle that supports success, not stress.
