Thought Leaders – Real Estate Re-imagined (formerly The Elevate Podcast)

Learning from London: Alice Geddes on apartments, auctioneering and how to keep your energy up


Listen Later

Barry Plant sales manager and auctioneer Alice Geddes didn’t start her career with visions of being a real estate agent. Instead, she planned to work in the fast-paced world of hospitality. So how did the Gold Coast native find herself working at one of the best known real estate chains in the UK, then go on to establish a successful sales career back in Australia?

It all comes down to transferrable skills, a little tenacity, and above all the ability to be organised and consistent, she explains. Those last two traits have been the cornerstones of her career. In this podcast, Alice shares her tips on creating consistency, along with the lessons she learnt at Foxtons, why she became an auctioneer, and how she and her team found stability after a tough couple of years for the apartment market in Melbourne.

Alice Geddes is a sales manager and auctioneer at Barry Plant Yarra’s Edge. Her career has spanned eight years and two continents, including working for Foxtons in the UK.
