My 1-Year Reflection in Real Estate
One year ago, I stepped into real estate with a simple goal.
While many new agents were focused on chasing listings, my priority was different. I wanted to learn from experienced agents, build genuine relationships, and understand the values and habits that create long-term success.
In my very first week in June 2025, I was fortunate to conjunction a listing with Roy Li in Willetton while securing my own listing in Gosnells. Later that year, when I joined John & Dahlia Rechichi's team, I was given another opportunity to conjunction a listing in Canning Vale while securing my own listing in Cannington.
Looking back, these opportunities were not just about selling property. They were about learning from people who had already walked the path before me.
Interestingly, I only completed 2–3 conjunctions with each of my bosses. Since then, I have sold and managed more than 12 listings of my own. Yet those early months taught me lessons that continue to shape my approach today.
I learned the importance of:
• Strong work ethic and consistency
• Professionalism and integrity
• Effective communication with vendors and buyers
• Staying calm during challenging negotiations
• Building trust and long-term relationships
• Putting people before transactions
Both Roy and Dahlia have different personalities, strengths, and ways of doing business. Observing their approaches helped me understand that there is no single formula for success. The key is to learn from others and develop a style that aligns with your own values and personality.
Over the past 12 months, I have learned that real estate is not just about listings, commissions, or sales numbers. It is a people business built on trust, relationships, and service.
As I reflect on my first year, I am grateful for every client who trusted me, every colleague who shared their knowledge, every mentor who invested their time, and every challenge that helped me grow.
The journey has only just begun, and I look forward to continuing to learn, serve, and build meaningful connections in the years ahead.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of my first year in real estate.
Here's to the next chapter.
