Each month we interview ONE of our members to discover their story and have them share their experience with us.
Under the spotlight this month is Annette Pinkerton from One Agency Pinkerton Properties in Newcastle, NSW.
Annette has worked in real estate for the last 4 years and joined One Agency in August 2013. We asked Annette to share her experience with us.
What do you love about your work in real estate? What drives you?
I’m happiest when I’m helping people whatever it is. But I’d have to say I’ve always had an interest in houses and property from a very early age when I would build a floor plan in the back yard out of fallen pine needles and pretend it was my cubby house. A few years later and a little bit older and I would draw house plans from scratch in front of the telly of a night – I remember always starting with the kitchen.
What drives me today is to continue to be a role model to my children, now young adults, that you can accomplish anything you put your mind to and follow through with action.
What attracted you to the One Agency business model?
The business model made sense to me. It allows me and my business to keep evolving with changing times. I’m not dictated to as how and what I can and cant do and yet I have the support of Paul Davies and the head office team as well as other principals and One Agency business owners who truly want me to succeed in my business. The One Agency marketing is as modern, clean, fresh and alive as the model.
How is the brand working for you?
The brand is working exceptionally well for me. It stands out from most brands and everyone remarks on One Agency marketing. Comments are that it is striking and suits my personality and style! It’s reflective of me, congruent with my image and in line with my values. All remarks about the brand has been more positive than I could imagine.
Would you recommend One Agency to others?
I have no hesitation in recommending One Agency to others. One Agency has provided me with flexibility, options and a balanced lifestyle.
What do you think keeps your prospective vendors awake at night when they are considering listing their property?
Hopefully my prospective vendors are sleeping knowing that they’re on the right track in selecting me as their choice of agent. Having said that though, I think most prospective vendors have the fear of underselling their property or the fear of not being able to find the right agent.
