\u201cWhen I studied at NIDA, one of the first things I was taught is that being an actor is like running your own small business,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd that proved to be so true.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou need to learn those skills in the same way you need to learn and hone the craft of acting.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a creative endeavour, but it requires business skills as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eskell\u2019s career as an actor saw her take centre stage as part of The Bell Shakespeare Company, as well as a host of film and TV roles including the beloved Australian soap opera Home and Away, A Place to Call Home and Doctor Doctor.<\/p>\n

The pandemic threw a curveball at Australian production companies, and in turn Emily\u2019s acting career, forcing her to reassess.<\/p>\n

Emily undertook a Diploma of Nursing and began a new role as a nurse, working through the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Real estate had always held an appeal to Eskell, with an interest in design and a natural ability to communicate.<\/p>\n

So, when the opportunity presented itself to join the LJ Hooker Southern Gold Coast team, Eskell didn\u2019t hesitate.<\/p>\n

Eskell has teamed up with Lee-Anne Klaus, an established local agent with more than 18 years experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cBuying and selling a home is usually a really personal endeavour, and it is my goal to make the experience an enjoyable one,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI approach my clients with empathy, honesty and kindness, and I really listen to what they are trying to achieve.<\/p>\n

Eskell said trust and a genuine intention to help people were key.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, there are times when you need to be very direct and tough in order to get your clients what they want, but I really believe people are looking for a more human experience where they are heard and treated with respect, no matter what the circumstances,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking in the southern Gold Coast areas is so exciting. It\u2019s the absolute best part of the Gold Coast in my opinion and it\u2019s a real thrill to be part of the industry here.<\/p>\n
