What it takes in 2020 with Gavin Rubinstein

Have you ever wondered how the best agents stay on top even during the toughest of times?

Where do they find listings when no one is selling, how do they grow their business in times of economic uncertainty and what do they do to stay so unflappable when the world seems to be spinning in a different direction?

In this episode of Elevate we pick the brains of one of the nation’s best negotiators – Gavin Rubinstein – to see how he has been travelling during the Covid-19 crisis.

Having started his own business last year, Gavin is the first to admit the crisis has thrown a major spanner in the works but his “never give up” attitude and positive mindset mean he’s still at the top of his game and selling properties at a premium.

In this podcast, Gavin reveals how he is continuing to motivate himself and his team during challenging times, the methods he has used to grow The Rubinstein Group and how he has changed his approach to selling to ensure his clients are 100 per cent comfortable, confident and cared for during a sales campaign.
