Our special guest on this week’s edition of Real Estate Renovators is Milo Rasinac.

Milo has had an interesting journey from petrol station attendant and forklift driver to real estate agency director, at times to the detriment of his health and his time with his family.

He tells Rex and Chanell how he ended up in real estate (rather than the police force) at 30 years of age and with some different experience behind him and shares some insights into how he sees the real estate business.

You’ll be fascinated by how Milo has made the most of his opportunities and how his customer service approach and focus on whatever is in front of him right now helped him grow an agency quite quickly.

While it’s a unique personal story, there’s no doubt that most people in real estate will be able to relate to at least some of what Milo has been through.

It’s a raw and open chat with lots of food for thought, and an episode of Real Estate Renovators you should watch right now...
