EP 16... Andrew Koulaouzos - Barry Plant

Andrew Koulaouzos is an auctioneer & partner of Barry Plant Taylor Lakes. The son of hard working & protective migrant parents, he learned from them the value of telling the truth & having a tireless work ethic very early in life, two fundamentals that have underpinned his entire career. Along the way, he has had some of the best possible mentors to put him on the right path. 

He has experienced an immensely organic rise through the real estate ranks... starting as a 19 year old in property management/leasing, to sales cadet/associate and eventually a very successful sales person in his own right. So much so, that now at just 33 years of age, he is an accomplished performer writing in excess of $2M GCI, making him one of the highest performing agents in Victoria & Australia. Listen in & find out how he has done it. A very honest, raw discussion & a true rags to riches story.
