Quite often people who work in the property industry are keen to move into property development and have a crack at being the developer. Today, as part of International Women's Day (a big hello to all you female developers and women in the property industry), I am speaking to two females who have a consultancy providing services to large property development clients and they are also in the process of delivering their own luxury apartment project.

I will be speaking with them about their experience of moving from the consultant side of project delivery to becoming 'the developer'.  I think you will enjoy the conversation with them.

Remember, if you are keen on breaking into the property development game and want to learn how, then remember we have the mentoring program that is available to teach you everything you need to know about becoming a successful developer. Drop me an email if you want to know more about the mentoring program [email protected] and I will send you some further info.

Now just before we get to today’s guests, I wanted to let you know about my guest in the next episode. He’s an Aussie agent, working in the US, who sold a property for a billion Australian dollars. Yes, that’s right, b for billion. I am sure you will enjoy the discussion around how you sell such a high value property. So make sure you keep an ear out for episode 58.

Okay, on to todays guests, I was really excited about speaking with these two developers because they have an interesting story to share. Olivia Christie and Sonya Miller are running a business that provides consulting services to institutional developers and they are also in the process of delivering their own development project of a luxury apartment block.

We talk about how they got into property developing, what they have learned from working for large developers, and how their first foray into their own luxury apartment project is going.

We also cover topics such as their approach to community consultation, responding to a softening market and the importance of backing yourself. And we touch on being female developers and what, if any difference, that has on their approach to developing.

There is plenty of great stuff in this chat which I am sure you will enjoy.
