Jeremy Wilkinson has become the first Harcourts agent in Tasmania to reach Titanium status this financial year, hitting the mark in just over six months.
The Harcourts Launceston agent has also picked up Titanium 5 Club recognition, marking five years of reaching the performance level, with his five-year trophy now engraved to mark the occasion.
Jeremy puts the result down to a simple approach: staying in touch with clients, following up, and giving honest advice.
“Selling a home can be stressful and I think people appreciate knowing what’s happening and being able to pick up the phone when they need to,” he said.
A significant proportion of his business comes from past clients and referrals, which he sees as a measure of the relationships he has built.
“When someone comes back to us or recommends us to a friend, it tells me we’ve looked after them well,” he said.
Kate Littlejohn, Co-CEO of Harcourts Tasmania, said the achievement reflected both Jeremy’s approach to his work and the relationships he had built over time.
“Jeremy’s achievement reflects the consistency, commitment and care he brings to his work,” Kate said.
“Reaching Titanium so early in the financial year is an outstanding result, and achieving Titanium five times speaks to the strength of the relationships he’s built with his clients over the years. He’s also quick to recognise the team behind him, which says a lot about the way he works.”
Jeremy credits his team with helping him sustain his performance over time, saying their support allows him to take breaks while clients continue to receive service.
“Having great people I can rely on also gives me a better work/life balance. I can take a break knowing our clients are in good hands. That helps me keep enjoying the job and stay enthusiastic, which is a big part of being able to keep doing it well over the years,” he said.
The five-year Titanium milestone carries its own significance for Jeremy, separate from reaching the level early this year.
“Reaching Titanium five times means a lot because it shows we’ve been able to keep doing a good job over a number of years,” he said.
“You think about all the clients and the work that’s gone into getting there. I’ve been lucky to help some people buy and sell a few times now and it’s always nice when they call again.”
He was quick to share the credit with his team and the wider Harcourts Launceston office.
“There’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes and I certainly couldn’t do it on my own. It’s something we can all feel good about,” he said.
