Issue 38 of "Ramblings of a Recruiter in Real Estate"

Welcome to Issue 38 of "Ramblings of a Recruiter in Real Estate" – your exclusive insider's guide to navigating the exciting world of real estate recruitment in 2024!

Last issue I explained how March is bonus month and if you didn’t catch it make sure you check it out here to hear who receive the greatest performance related rewards. However, as the financial year closes we get ready for another to open and I wanted to make sure you had the right mindset and tools to make the most of this. This week marks our 99th episode in the Accelerating Careers in Real Estate Podcast and I return back to where it all started with a very special guest. Marc Vlessing is one of those characters who discovered real estate later in his career journey, he set about to solve a problem he saw that others thought too daunting and he has crafted a business leading a new era in affordable accommodation in London and beyond. He shares a great anecdote for how to craft that ideal role based on your unique set skills.

Lastly, I share a sample of the live requirements the Development team at Macdonald & Company are leading on… so what are you waiting for?

🎙️ New Podcast Format: I wind the clock back to grab an espresso version of my conversation with Marc Vlessing CEO of Pocket Living in this fortnight's Accelerating Careers in Real Estate Podcast episode.

"I genuinely don't see how a world city can survive unless people on modest incomes can survive..."

It seems quite fitting that as I close out our first century of episodes of the podcast that I return back to the very first guest of the podcast. Marc Vlessing was kind enough to help me launch this concept of building a career playbook for successful careers in real estate back in early 2020. I strongly encourage you to go back to listen to the full episode if you haven’t already. In this “espresso version” Marc shares his journey into real estate, what was the problem he set out to solve so eloquently with Pocket Living and a life lesson on how we can all find a role that suits our unique strengths.
