Nadia Rawson shares her journey from Dubai to Australia and how she balances dual roles as both a property manager and BDM while maintaining family priorities and professional growth. Her experience highlights the importance of finding the right workplace culture that offers support, mentorship, and flexibility for property professionals.
• Moved to Australia in 2016 from Dubai, noting significant differences in property management approaches between countries
• Initially joined a family-focused boutique agency that allowed her to bring her baby to work from three months old
• Left real estate temporarily but returned after experiencing poor property management as an owner herself
• Currently balances property management with a newly added BDM role since January 2024
• Values workplace relationships where colleagues support rather than compete with each other
• Emphasizes the importance of dedicated time for proactive BDM work rather than just reacting to inquiries
• Struggles with time management and learning to read potential clients' needs as primary challenges
• Finds networking and putting herself "out there" the most difficult aspects of the BDM role
If you're juggling property management and business development responsibilities, try dedicating the first hour of your day to proactive BDM work before property management tasks take over.
