AGENTS AT HOME

In our new column, Agent Life: The Lockdown Edition, we catch up with our Buxton agents at home to find out what they've been up to since lockdown restrictions were imposed in August.


An advocate for the wellness of mind, body and soul, Buxton Bentleigh Director, Simon Pintado, has taken lockdown as an opportunity to self-reflect, re-energise and re-charge. We catch up with the superstar to find out how he's been going during Stage 4 lockdown...

How will lockdown help you as an agent?

It’s given me time to self reflect, relax, take some me time & come out of it ready and energised!

What’s one thing you’ve learned about yourself during lockdown? 

That I have a choice to control two things: me, and my mind.

What’s your prediction for the post lockdown market?

It’s going to kick, at least in the short term. Early 2021 is a big question mark.

What’s been the upside for the industry?
