Thought Leaders – Real Estate Re-imagined (formerly The Elevate Podcast) Moving forward through fear
Do you want to know the secrets behind honing your business to become relationship based and not just transactional?
If you ask forward planner Cathy Baker, her vision of client service is building and maintaining a relationship long after the sale of a property.
In this episode of the Elevate podcast, Cathy Baker explains how the Central Coast property and holiday accommodation market bounced back, why a five year plan is a win, and how understanding an employee’s ‘why’ will carve a deeper connection and lasting career.
Cathy also reveals how she has adapted to COVID-19, how the skills in her first job as a 14-year-old became an essential part of her business today, and why she can now face any challenge head on.
