Following an untimely retrenchment in June 2014 at the tender age of 62, I spent 11 months trying to regain employment without success. A friend suggested that I try working as an estate agent and, having nothing to lose, I interviewed and was accepted in 2015 as an Intern Estate Agent. Imagine being a rookie at my age and imagine too my joy at being awarded Icebreaker (Rookie) of the year twelve months later?
Since day one I have received a lot of support and encouragement from management and colleagues alike and found myself doing work that is tough and demanding but also extremely rewarding. I am a qualified and licensed Agent and ongoing training ensures that I am fully equipped to deal with changing markets and legislation.
11 years on, the client references and awards I have received describe my success.
Having gained so much I now give back by assisting in coaching sessions and offering advice to beginners.
