Record-setting agent Jason Boon was ranked 12th in this year’s Top 100 Agents. He sat down with REB to tell us about his typical day.
6:00am: Coffee at Gusto Bondi Beach.
6:15am: Surfing – I go for a surf every morning without fail.
7:30am: Spend time with my son Jake. We have our second bub due in a few weeks so that’s sure to keep my wife Melinda and I pretty busy.
8:00am: I head into the office. I usually stop for a coffee at one of the many cafés or a chat with the locals – I’ve worked in Potts Point/Elizabeth Bay for 18 years and lived here for many of those. I’ve bought and sold property for a huge number of people in the area during that time, and I love that I’ve come to know so many of them really well. Potts Point is full of colourful characters – I love the village feel and the fact that everybody’s so friendly. These strong relationships foster a mutual loyalty.
8:15am – 8:45am: Team meeting – my team and I sit down together, either in the office or in a local café. We go through each current property individually and ensure we’re communicating all relevant information from the previous day in relation to the campaign, owner, buyers and any issues that have arisen with the property itself. We also discuss upcoming appraisals, listings and settlements.
8:45am – 10:45am: I get on the phone to clients and make buyer appointments. I’m a huge believer in communicating as much as possible with vendors and buyers, keeping them well updated and addressing any concerns they may have.
10:45am – 12:00pm: Listen to voicemail messages and return calls – my phone generally doesn’t stop ringing, so it’s a bigger job than it sounds!
12:00pm – 1:00pm: Lunch – usually in the office. We have the TV on (surfing whenever possible), so I sit and relax for a while. My colleagues (and probably Melinda) would argue that I’m not very good at it.
1:00pm – 6:00pm: Listing appraisals and buyer appointments – absolutely vital to selling real estate.
6:00pm: At home I spend time with Melinda and Jake while having some dinner.
7:30pm: Walk our dog, Lucy.
8:00pm: Watch TV, usually fall asleep in front of it.
9:30pm: Bed, recharge to do it all again tomorrow!
