Cate Bakos chats with Grace Ormsby and Sadhana Smiles about her journey into buyers advocacy from the unlikeliest of previous professions — as an industrial chemist.

The president of REBAA and the owner and manager of Cate Bakos Property, Cate shares the "patchwork quilt" of experiences that have led her into her dream role at the intersection of people and property, outlines how she took the plunge into her own business and offers up some of the lessons she's learnt in leadership.

In this episode, you will hear:

• Why a degree in science gave Cate such a strong foundation for the real estate space
• Her reflections on balancing motherhood with business and a career
• Why it's worth putting yourself out there publicly — and how to go about it
