The Queensland Candidate Crisis. Why Recruiting in Real Estate is harder than Selling Houses...

Updated: Apr 9



With the demand for Queensland Real Estate at record levels with no sign of slowing down just yet, the demand & competition for experienced Real Estate professionals has become unprecedented along with it...


Every Real Estate Agency we work with in Brisbane, Gold Coast or the Sunshine Coast, seems to have an unlimited capacity for as many Experienced Real Estate Agents as we can find them...but where are all the candidates?


The reality is...they're already working hard or stuck interstate! It's always hard to shift when houses are selling in a week if you have the stock. Good Agents are experiencing one of the best Real Estate markets in a decade, but the smart ones are also looking at the deeper opportunity... Now is exactly the time to negotiate that better deal, that better comm split or that move to a better brand...


With the competition so fierce for experienced Agents...Agencies are willing to put all options on the table to attract the right players... They will also consider Agents looking to move to QLD in the new year...



There is certainly no shortage of opportunities. Placed Australia are currently sitting on over 100 vacancies with the most recognised Agency Brands & Boutiques in the Queensland Market...


Sales Agents, Sales Managers, Associates, Senior Property Mangers, Property Managers, Assistant Property Managers, BDM's, Leasing Agents, Admin Support...you name it!



Every time the phone rings now, I almost cringe. I know exactly what's coming. "Hi, My name is "........" from "........" Real Estate. We're looking for several "Experienced Agents" to join our team and we needed them last week. We are only interested in Agents with 1-3 + years experience with a verified track record of selling at least 15 - 25 properties + p.a. Who have you got for us?


The great news is, when experienced candidates do reach out to us, we can usually line up interviews immediately. We have been placing on average, 7 people a week for months & not every Job hits our Job Board. It's been a Real Estate Recruiters dream market too...but we need hundreds more Agents to pick up the phone and have the chat...


If you have been considering a move in Queensland Real Estate, now is certainly the time. The doors are wide open...


If you're and Experienced Agent looking for a new opportunity, please call Andrew Turnbull @ Placed Australia on 0474 947 545 or e-mail andrew@placedaustralia.com.au today! We here to help...
