How many years have you been in real estate?
On and off since I got my licence at age 18, actively selling for the last four years. Pirrone Property just celebrated its two-year anniversary!
What motivated you to get into real estate?
Other than family influence, my wife and I are keen renovators and have been buying and selling across Brisbane for the last six years. I love the prospect of change and it was inevitable that I would be drawn back to real estate. Being hugely people focused, real estate is a perfect fit for me.
What is the market like in your area right now?
The Inner West has always been a hotspot; of course there can be ups and downs in certain price brackets, but the charm of my local area means itโs always going to be in demand โ not to mention proximity to the city and the eclectic culture in the area.
Who or what inspires you?
Big inspirations for me would be the men and women behind small independent businesses. I love the ground-roots attitude of hard work and dedication; you canโt teach that.
In your โbriefcaseโ right now is…
Compendium, my favourite pen and mints โ I keep it simple!
What apps do you use most at the moment on your iPhone or iPad?
The obvious ones are the Domain and realestate.com.au apps, RPData and the โsocialsโ. Although the majority of my data goes to Spotify, I love my music throughout the day.
What do you enjoy most about Elite Agent Magazine?
The diversity of the content keeps it engaging, from exposing new technologies and trends in the industry to success stories that are always inspiring.
Any words to live by?
Work hard and treat others well.
What advice would you give to someone starting out in real estate?
If you are passionate about helping people and genuinely have a lust for property, success will follow. Real estate is not like any other sales role and it is not an easy game. Dedication is key.
