Most buyer's agents burn out trying to do everything themselves. Scott Aggett took the opposite approach — he broke the buyer's agent role into specialist functions, hired to his weaknesses, and built Green Shoots Property into one of Australia's most systematic buyer's agencies.
In this episode of Buyers Agent Mastery, Scott pulls back the curtain on what it actually takes to scale a buyer's agent business beyond the founder. He shares the segmentation model that freed him from being the bottleneck, the data-driven method he uses to identify property hotspots before they heat up, and why 90% of his clients come back — without a marketing machine behind him.
You'll also hear the hard stuff: why he had to cut his team from eight to seven after a revenue hit, the "suck it and see" reality of building systems that took far longer than planned, and what happens when new competitors "drop their pants" on fees.
