About.
Here’s the detail behind the homepage: where I’ve worked, and what I’ve actually done.
Experience
Founded Property Brokers, building a personal brand and a close-knit team of 4
Built the team’s workflow around Less Annoying CRM to track the sales pipeline and follow up on leads. Referrals now make up 30% of annual sales as a result
Moved into a new sector, New Launch sales, co-leading a marketing team through pre-launch activity up to launch date
Recognized with ERA’s 5-Year Service Elite award and Million Dollar Club status
Marketing Director
ERA Realty Network, Team Leader, Property Brokers
2018 to present
The branding gave clients more confidence in us, and it shows. Retention has gone up alongside it.
Associate Group Director
PropNex Realty
2013 to 2018
Joined as an agent, promoted to Associate Group Director in 2016 after consistently strong sales performance
Broke into the resale landed property market after starting out in resale condos, a different client profile and a different kind of deal
Grew annual sales by 33% between 2017 and 2018
Took on more complex negotiations, bridging the gap between buyer and seller to land deals both sides were happy with
Still the biggest growth mark of my career.
Sales Interior Designer
Wei Ken
2011 to 2013
Assisted walk-in clients at the show flat, working from floor plans they brought in
Met clients on-site directly, taking measurements myself where no floor plan existed
Developed concept proposals and 3D renderings based on client needs and space constraints
Helped clients select materials that fit their budget and taste
Worked with contractors to ensure the finished space matched the design
It’s the role that taught me something I still use in real estate: a client says yes to a space the same way they say yes to a deal, once they can picture themselves in it.
