Jody Fewster on how to create an environment that fosters success

Jody Fewster sold her first property for nearly $5 million in Perthโ€™s exclusive Western Suburbs and, from that point onwards, her career has gone from strength to strength.

The selling principal from Ray White Cottesloe | Mosman Park is one of Perth’s top agents, but was also prepared to start as a PA, even though she had an MBA from Harvard and had successfully built and sold a tech startup.

In this interview, with Ray White Head of Performance and Recognition Bianca Denham, Jody talks about how she was able to rapidly become one of Perthโ€™s best performers in the luxury market and what it took to get there.

She discusses the importance of being in a great environment, when you know itโ€™s time to build a team and the types of personalities she looks for in new hires.

Jody also reveals why starting in a tough market can be beneficial, how to delegate effectively, and the one thing that tells you itโ€™s time to become a lead agent.

โ€œJust because you can do a task, doesnโ€™t mean you should. Unless you can teach someone to do your job, you havenโ€™t mastered your job.โ€ – Jody Fewster
