2016
by Michael Forzatti
With footy season just underway and talk of the relative strengths of teams in the 2016, we caught up with Michael Forzatti to talk about what it takes to bring together and manage a team of market leaders. Given that it’s been the vision of One Residential to have market leaders in each of the areas in which it operates, and given the serious inroads it has made towards achieving this goal, we thought there would be broader lessons to be gleaned for any team: professional, sporting and not-for-profit.
Over the past five years, Richard Thurtle, Principal and Director of One Property Management, has grown his team from just him and a handful of properties, to a team of five handling a large property portfolio which continues to grow.
We recently caught up with Richard to talk about how you go about building a great team, how to handle individual strengths and weaknesses, and how the long term game is the only game worth playing when it comes to building a great team.
In conditions such as these, it's far more about blood, sweat and tears than spit and polish. That goes for salespeople and those preparing their homes for sale alike.
