5 minutes with McIntyre Property...

posted on 20.10.2019

The REIACT recently awarded McIntyre Property as the Residential Property Management Team of the Year for the second year in a row!

With a string of awards under their belt, McIntyre Property are a talented and trusted agency in the ACT who pride themselves in giving back to their community by supporting local sports teams, charities and schools. 

We managed to track down Col McIntyre, sales agent, auctioneer and owner of McIntyre Property who shared with us, a few valuable tips for those budding agents out there. 

With a moto of "onwards and upwards" for the agency, Col recommends for those looking at opening their own agency to have robust operational systems and processes in place to follow. “Be patient when employing, we are extremely proud of our dedicated team. We believe that people come first, the property second”.

With the start of the spring selling season upon us (for the southeastern states), and subsequent commissions flying in, how do you not blow that commission cheque all at once? We asked Col to give one tip for those young agents, “Don’t live for the day, live for the year. We earn 70% of our income in the summer months here in Canberra, so make sure you’re clear ahead.”

It’s clear that McIntyre Property really take pride in how they service their community and take care of their team and have been a participating employer of REI Super for several years.

REI Super is the only industry super fund for our unique industry. We understand you, and what it means to have a career in the real estate industry.  Working within a fluctuating industry can make managing finances challenging. With a stable 40-year history, REI Super could be your fund of choice. 

Thanks to the McIntyre Property for giving us a sneak peek into their slice of the real estate world. 

Congratulations to all REIACT Awards for Excellence finalists and winners.
