“Every day you are making phone calls and canvasing. There is always more that you can do.”
“Most appointments are during lunch hours or after hours.”
“No day is the same, which I love.”
“Being an estate agent, what you put in is what you get out.”
“It’s not that hard to make money from not a lot of work with a product. There are guys fashioning drift wood into sort of bird shapes, which sell.”
“I see money as opportunities.”
“I’m quite lucky that, I enjoy Mondays.”
“Be prepared for extreme highs and extreme lows. Sometimes you make a sale out of nowhere, sometimes you don’t sell for a while.”
