THE SDA HOUSING PODCAST
EPISODE 219 - A career that led into SDA & then joining us.
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Heather talks to one of our staff, Lorraine, to find out about her journey into real estate, that eventually lead her into SDA. Lorraine recently came from another real estate business where she worked for 2 years, initially working as the Office Manager, but as her interest was sparked in the sales side, she progressed into selling SDA packages around Brisbane.
Lorraine explains that in her due diligence before joining NDIS Property Australia, she found such a wealth of information via our SDA Housing Podcast and was impressed with our wide variety of different types of stock, not just H&L packages, but apartments and villas located all over Australia. And that was the reason why she joined our company.
Coming from Adelaide, Lorraine is also very interested in the SDA market in South Australia. Heather discusses with Lorraine how her media and hospitality background and previous Real Estate experience impacted her decision to move into SDA property sales and how she feels the SDA investment opportunity is such a great social impact investment, with the bonus of the potential high yields and income.
Lorraine also talks about some of the stories she's heard from participants whose lives have been impacted significantly by moving into SDA.
Lorraine has always had a genuine desire to help people and make a positive impact along the way - and as William James (considered the Father of American psychology) once said "Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does".
