Fate has played a big role in Tina Lee’s career as a real estate agent.

With a background in insurance and sales, Tina left her home of Hong Kong in the mid-nineties and relocated to Sydney to raise her family. Once her youngest reached high school, she came across an advertisement while browsing the local newspaper.

The ad invited readers to find out more about the real estate industry. With strong sales and management experience, Tina had nothing to lose. “I was ready to go back to work and I liked the idea of selling something tangible,” she says.
