The brand’s northside Brisbane outfit has added yet another “seasoned” agent to its slate.
Jonathan Tesese — an established agent in the local area’s prestige market — has officially joined the Place Nundah team.
He will be the fifth experienced agent to join the Place Ascot and Place Nundah team in just four months.
Mr Tesese stepped into the real estate industry in 2020 just as COVID-19 swept the world, but he shared that he did not let the pandemic negatively affect his new career path.
“When I entered the industry, I wanted to do everything properly, which meant not skipping any steps. Starting in a team was the best way to learn how to become a successful real estate agent,” he said.
According to Mr Tesese, the skills he gained throughout his long-term stint in recruitment prior to being in real estate — including being relatable, empathetic, relationship building and having tough conversations around business and employment — had been easily transferable when he made the career shift.
“Real estate is much the same — it’s all about relationships, building trust and being a good listener; however, it’s about someone’s most important asset,” he explained.
His strategy seemed to pay off, as Mr Tesese managed to sell millions worth of real estate within another team in two years and was able to create a loyal customer base on his own.
Mr Tesese shared that his jump towards Place Estate Agents was driven by his desire to be a leader in the prestige market — a goal he believes he will attain by aligning with the brand.
The trophy market agent will now be working under the leadership of Patrick Mckinnon, Drew Davies and Narelle Lorensen — who were announced as the new trio of principals for the Place Ascot and Place Nundah team in June.
Commenting on the newest player in their team, Mr McKinnon believes that Mr Tesese will continue to rise as one of Brisbane’s top agents under their brand.
“We are thrilled to have someone of Jonathan’s background join our Place Nundah team; in such a short time, he has managed to break into a tough market and build a loyal client base,” he stated.
