Every now and then, you meet someone who’s done more than just survive in Real Estate, they’ve actually lived it. The late nights, broken leases, staff dramas, tight margins, economic downturns, and all the tech changes. But also, the client wins, the lifelong friendships, the properties that became portfolios, the businesses that became careers, the careers that turned into legacies.
This episode is about that kind of career, the kind that doesn’t just clock time, but leaves a mark. And the kind of human who’s bold enough to reflect on it all, tell the truth about it, and pass on their experience.
I chat with Peter Brewer who is a highly respected voice in the Australian Real Estate industry, known for his straight talking style, deep experience, and passion for helping others succeed. With over 40 years as a high performing business owner, 10 years as board chair of one of Queensland’s largest real estate marketing companies, and now serving as Chair of the Real Estate Institute of Queensland, Peter has played a key role in shaping the profession. He’s also an Ambassador for the US based Inman News Organisation and is widely recognised as a leading figure in digital strategy and brand leadership within the property space.
. Whether you’re just starting out in the industry or have been in it for many years, Peter’s lessons on curiosity, reinvention, and legacy will challenge you to think differently about the work you do and the future you’re building.
“You’ve got to have a culture of curiosity. You’ve got to want to break things. It doesn’t matter whether you’re 32 or 66. I still have a culture of curiosity. I want to learn how things work. I want to break them, I want to keep testing and say, I could do this, or this could save me time, or this could make me better. If you’re serious about making a great career in this industry and it can absolutely be a rewarding career then you’ve got to invest time in yourself, build your skills and knowledge, and make yourself worthy of more recognition, more income, and a better life in our profession.”
