Elevate: The Official Podcast of Elite Agent Magazine
Business:Careers
What makes a good year a great year in business?
Usually it’s not dozens of things … often it’s as simple as strategically making (or missing!) one or two ‘genius’ moves.
And it’s with that realisation that Elite Agent Managing Editor Samantha McLean and Publisher Mark Edwards decided the theme for this year’s Elite Retreat.
In this special edition of the Elevate podcast, Samantha and Mark take you behind the scenes of our annual signature event, Elite Retreat and what makes the event truly unique in the industry.
They also reveal the plan to invite a couple of people to speak at Elite Retreat, enter our new Innovation Awards and be a part of the action in our fresh launched newsletter, Movers + Shakers; bringing together all the latest on the big moves in the real estate industry.
Mark and Sam also share what they learnt from flipping and selling their Gold Coast home, including how they chose their agent, the easy opportunities agents missed and how you can use their experience to stand out from your competition.
“Success leaves clues, but it doesn’t guarantee it. You’ve always got to put your own spin on whatever it is and face forwards, not backwards.” – Samantha McLean
