- Real estate salespeople have to tread a fine line to make sure they do not come off as too flashy – but it should not be a struggle to earn six figures, one agency boss says.
Auckland agent Ricky Cave has made headlines for his argument that he would suffer “extreme hardship” if he could not drive his Aston Martin for six weeks.
He argued that it was part of his brand. He also earns $300,000 a year after tax and owns five properties.
Cave told the court that being without his Aston Martin was “a really bad look” in the eyes of high-end clients; it impacted his ability to work, and in turn earn the commissions that made up his income, he said.
