The Games Agents Play

In this episode, my special guest is Scott Aggett. He is the owner of Hello Haus, which is his flagship contract negotiation agency. Scott began as a licensed real estate agent in Sydney and then London on 1995. He co-founded and managed Belle Property Potts Point in Surry Hills and Walsh Bay then went on to manage his own business for redevelopment of residential and commercial investments both locally and overseas.
