IN FOCUS Geoff Hall

LICENSED ESTATE AGENT FLINDERS | PORTSEA | SORRENTO | BLAIRGOWRIE How did you find the transition from Melbourne Real Estate to Mornington Peninsula Real Estate?

I found the transition seamless. Having spent my entire life holidaying at Portsea/Sorrento, my knowledge of the area and the local market is excellent.

Real estate selling skills are transferable provided you have the local intel and live here full time.

Why did you decide to get into Real Estate? ​​My initial career in the finance industry along with a degree in economics gave me the ideal understanding of market dynamics. Property investment was always a focus so I made the move in the 90’s.

What has been your greatest accomplishment at RTEMP? Without doubt, being embraced by our team. Helping clients realise their goals is extremely satisfying, but I can’t do that without all the support I receive from our team.

What does ‘down time’ look like for you? ​I exercise every day, whether that’s a swim in the bay or a ride up into Red Hill and I love a game of golf at The National when I can fit it in.

What is your greatest challenge as an estate agent?

Earning trust. We can all look similar from the outside, so it’s important to break down that barrier of the stereotypical Estate Agent.

What is an interesting fact about you that clients may not know?

Having completed the Hawaiian Ironman triathlon 4 times, I’m very driven to succeed. I try to apply that drive to every sale transaction. I will never settle for anything but the best. That often involves continuing to push in a tough negotiation even when we’re well past our clients’ happy price.

BLAIRGOWRIE OFFICE OPENING In 2015 we commenced our dream of building a real estate group that could be a single source of information for all things property across the pointy end of the Mornington Peninsula. RT Edgar Mornington Peninsula was a dream that has fast become a reality.

“The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing…”

Walt Disney

We knew that people had an interest in property from Somers to Portsea and the suburbs in between. The amount of weekend guests that were visiting to ‘try before they buy’ was unbelievable. Hence our desire to offer a scalable service for sales, short stay and asset management across the Southern Peninsula. With our fourth office opening this month in Blairgowrie, we are proud of our transition from ‘talking to doing’.

We are determined to be an information port for community news and updates. We will always look for ways to give back to our community as we are all permanent residents who love where we live.
