Quit the 9-to-5: The evolution of self-education to a thriving business

By Todd Stevens 14 September 2018 | 1 minute read

Jay Anderson bought his first property in Potts Point in 2010. Influenced by DIY reality TV show The Block, he renovated that property, was amazed with the money that could be made and set about building what is now a multimillion-dollar portfolio.

In this episode of Quit the 9-to-5 with Ben Handler, Jay shares the evolution of what started as simply educating himself on property trends and helping friends and family to make the right investment decisions to eventually transitioning into a buyer’s agent. Jay unpacks how he sought education, why he didn’t want to become a buyer’s agent initially and how he built a referral-based business.

He also discusses how the role impacts his family life and where he sees the future of the company, with Ben also sharing his advice for the success of Jay’s business.
