Thought Leaders – Real Estate Re-imagined (formerly The Elevate Podcast) Seize the day: Avi Khan on leading through change, creating business growth, and why now is the moment for the real estate industry to showcase its skills
Avi Khan of Ray White AKG in Queensland isn’t looking to build the biggest real estate agency, but he is intent on creating the best. And it’s one that revolves around the customer journey.
After less than five years in the industry he’s well on his way to achieving that goal.
Recently ranked among the top three offices in the Ray White Queensland network, Avi has now built four businesses under his brand, including a legal arm which specialises in conveyancing.
Avi notes the conveyancing side of his business is all about solving the customer struggle and ultimately he has plans for that service to go national.
In this episode of the Elevate podcast with Elite Agent Managing Editor Samantha McLean, Avi shares the secret to his swift success and outlines the thinking behind the legal side of his business.
He recaps some of the key takeaways of the Ray White Connect 2022 conference and Elite Retreat and shares why he believes real estate is an industry that has far more potential when we stop competing, work together and learn from each other.
And he says collaboration has never mattered more than now as the market undergoes a shift.
If ever there was a time to demonstrate your real estate skills, tap into your expertise and prove your value, Avi says it’s now.
“Now’s our moment to showcase our professionalism, to showcase our wares. I think we shouldn’t be afraid of what’s happening out there. This is the moment that we actually justify our fears, justify all the training that we’ve had…We exist for that reason now. This is the time for us to showcase what we really are.” – Avi Khan
