In this episode, we sit down with Carla Fetter, Director at Jellis Craig Stonnington, who shares insights from her 21-year journey in real estate. Carla talks about what’s kept her passionate about the industry—her love for client connections, relationship-building, and mentoring the next generation of agents.

She opens up about her shift toward work-life balance, embracing hobbies outside of real estate, and making time for exercise and family as a mother of two.

We also dive into what makes a great listing agent, the importance of trust, rapport, and humour in client relationships, and why work ethic is something you can’t teach.
