Sam: And obviously, real estate provided opportunities to work with people a lot more closely--a lot more relationships, but then at the same time, it gives me flexibility during the week: picking up the daughter, doing a little bit of work from home, a little bit out, you give a bit more on the Saturdays, be a little bit back during the week…

[intro music]

Going once... going twice... SOLD! You're listening to The Property Pod!

Aaron: All right, all right, all right. Welcome to The Property Pod, your weekly engagement into a fun and entertaining show all about real estate here in the Hobart marketplace. [laughter]

John: You better believe it. 

Aaron: You better believe it. Trying out new intros is pretty tricky, I'm your host, Aaron Horne. I'm joined as always by Patricia Berry and Jonathan McGregor 

John: Well, let's face it. If commanding pauses can be difficult sometimes, but it's worth practicing

Aaron: Yeah, I pulled it off all right, can I get that?

John: Yeah, I totally agree.

Aaron: Yeah no, look. Shout out to everybody that's listening along. You heard our Olympic intros the other week, here we are with something brand new. Pat's claimed that we can't do the same one every week. I think it's good for continuity, Pat thought…

Patrick: I just thought I'd change it up, you know, we've got 80 episodes now, just felt a bit repetitive.

Aaron: 80 mate, 90.

Patrick: Oh [ __ ]

John: How many hours did you work out?

Aaron: I was lying in bed last night. I was trying to nut out how many times we've done this, like you could essentially listen to The Property Pod for two days straight... [laughter] 

Patrick: Look. Speaking of people going to bed, I did find for my friends this week Marcus and Kirsten, who are probably be listening right now, that they enjoy the soulful sounds of us sleeping at nighttime [laughter] so I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but shout out to you, guys, while you lay there trying to go to sleep tonight.

John: Welcome to The Property Pod…

Aaron: I couldn't work out whether that was a really good thing or a really bad thing, like it was so boring that we put people to sleep or are we so soothing, those soulful terms, the focal tones are just like, "I really like crawling asleep" [John agrees] we can flip it either way. You guys are in sales, so you can flip it however you want…

Patrick: Hey, I'm just excited someone's listening so I'll take it. [laughter]

Aaron: Well, shout out to all our listeners out there! We had a really good response to last week's episode and I feel like we're gonna have a really good response to this week's episode. So this week, we've brought in a special guest and it's someone that you might get to know a bit more moving forward with The Property Pod and with 4one4 Property Co. Today, we are bringing in a brand new team member, a new guy that is joining the 4one4 family, we're bringing in Sam Allwright!

Sam: Cheers! Good Morning, everybody! How are you?

Aaron: Very well. Thanks for joining us on The Property Pod and thanks for joining us here in the 4one4 family.

Sam: I'm excited with this. It's getting very interesting. I love all the gear, I love all the tech... 

Aaron: Yeah, there's nothing like joining a new company and then and coming and saying, "hey, just jump on camera and tell us your life story, so that we can like check you" like this is the interview actually. 

Sam: I'm just being very careful I don't break anything. [laughter] I do have a history of breaking items. Anything expensive, keep it away from me. [laughter]

Aaron: Well, speaking of history, can you give all the listeners out there a little history in yourself, kind of a little flash into who Sam Allwright is? 

Sam: Sure! Very very roughly, I've been in real estate for probably about 12 months, been in sales though I suppose you'd say for probably over 20 years. So, I've been dealing with a lot of clients, with government customers, print houses that sort of stuff, so I've had a lot of dealings with people back to front, but then I suppose, outside of that, I've dealt a lot to do with cooking, mountain biking, motor vehicles, car racing, motorbikes 

Aaron: So your activities, man, you'll have a little bit of extreme sports out there in the...

Sam: Oh, 100%! Most of the reason I probably got into sales, so I could actually work while talking about cars. It's probably a bit of a selfish thing, you get to talk about the things that you like with the people that you like. It makes my life so much more fun, I suppose.

Aaron: It might sound like a silly thing, but real estate not cars was ever there…

Sam: I did dabble a little bit in cars a long time ago, but it is difficult to deal with the fast cars and the expensive ones all the time. [laughter] [John agrees] which is where my heart is.

John: Yeah, gotcha. Is it sort of a very different environment of selling too like where you work cars versus real estate? Has that been an interesting transition?

Sam: Yeah, cars was a long time ago that when I was much younger, but yeah, it's very much sitting in a small confined space where here in real estate, you get to get out and actually physically make people in their own homes, much more of what they're doing, you get to make a lot more lasting friendships because you're dealing with them over two to three months, right? Rather than one or two interactions in an office…

John: Yeah and out again, now you did mention that cooking was a thing. Does that mean that you're the one who's doing most the bulk of the cooking at home? what's the story?

Sam: It's me doing the bulk of the cooking at home, 100% say that. I do love my partner, but cooking is not one of her strong shoots. She has many, [John agrees] she will listen to this, she has many lovely... [laughter] but cooking's not one of them...

John: So we can talk about all our good traits and none of our flaws... [laughter]

Sam: Please don't edit that out [laughter]

Sam: But yeah, look. Cooking, somethin...
