Matt McKee is no stranger to adventure, but even he says there\u2019s nothing quite like the adrenaline rush of opening an agency with your name on the door.<\/p>\n

McKee Real Estate is the most recent entrant into the Newcastle\/Lake Macquarie property market in New South Wales, and it\u2019s already making waves.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe opened in January and achieved listings and sales pretty much straight away.\u201d<\/p>\n

Matt\u2019s path to agency ownership wasn\u2019t immediately clear when he started his property career in 2011, but his natural selling attributes came to the fore and directed his calling.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always had an interest in property and real estate, but I originally wanted to be a developer. When I got offered a sales role and for the first three months it was pretty ordinary \u2026 but then a switch flipped, and I realised I was actually pretty good at it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPretty good\u201d is a gross understatement. In his second year in the industry, Matt was awarded Rookie of the Year. Then, not too long after, he was invited to become a partner in the business.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was only 24 and already one of the leading agents in Newcastle, so it was pretty cool.\u201d<\/p>\n

Matt continued his professional journey and eventually joined a major brand to spearhead their service in the Lake Macquarie area.<\/p>\n
