Now, he underscores what property and financial freedom has afforded him and his family —a fact which actually led him to build his own buyers agent business.With undeniable success in creating wealth through property since his early 20s, he highlights and weighs in on the potency of hard work, leveraging equity, and never judging a property's potential for high growth based on its initial price in the market!

Simon Lacey Unearths Power of Wealth Creation via Property at Age 15
Simon Lacey, founder of Lacey Elite Buyers Agents, has always taken to outfitting himself with a positive outlook and thirst for a better future.

Since then, he has amassed 26 properties, and now helps steer others towards the same financial freedom he enjoys today —proving this Melburnian as a man of action! Hosted on Acast.
