LOCAL real estate agent Michael Lillywhite explains why he made the switch to the fastest growing real estate agency in Australia.  

With almost 20 years in the real estate industry, Michael Lillywhite knows a thing or two about selling houses. But two years ago, he became a local real estate agent with Purplebricks — a new real estate company offering everything you would expect from your traditional real estate agent, but with a fair and fixed fee. Purplebricks is the fastest growing real estate agency and the second most recognised real estate brand in the country. More than 4000 properties have been sold by Purplebricks since launching in 2016.Now a territory manager with Purplebricks in Melbourne’s rapidly growing west, Michael manages a dynamic team of eight who have a combined 30 years experience in real estate and have sold more than 1300 properties throughout their real estate careers. His team of expert negotiators and property professionals work together to make the process of selling and buying more convenient, transparent and cost-effective. Purplebricks agents across Australia have an unmatched level of local knowledge and expertise and are some of the most respected real estate agents in the country. Michael believes Purplebricks is a breath of fresh air and has changed the industry forever by adopting new technologies to enhance the customer experience and allow real estate agents to spend more time doing what they love most — selling houses.For example, Purplebricks has an automatic alert system so that sellers and buyers can see bids in real time, which increases competition for properties on the market. Customers can now also arrange a valuation, book a viewing, make an offer and agree on a sale at any time. In fact, around seven in ten property bids managed by Michael’s team take place outside regular office hours. “The Purplebricks platform has fundamentally disrupted the existing real estate model, by opening up transparent lines of communication between the seller and buyer and enabling our agents to be available 24 hours a day,” Michael said.“The Purplebricks platform and local customer service team do the heavy lifting for real estate agents, so we can focus on supporting our customers and building relationships in the community.”  Michael is now on the hunt for highly motivated and experienced real estate agents to join his Purplebricks team. He aims to grow his team to twenty local real estate agents in the next 12 months.He believes the flexible working conditions, uncapped earning potential and customer-focused model of Purplebricks are second to none.“People often forget that you are making a life decision, not just a professional decision. Joining the Purplebricks team has been the best choice I made, for both my career and my lifestyle.”
