Description

Most young agents focus on quick wins - Charlie Woelders is playing a different game. At just 22, he’s not just here to sell houses; he’s here to maximise results. After stepping into a lead agent role in March 2024, Charlie made a bold call in his first sale, backing himself and the property by taking it to auction. The result? A massive $150,000 over reserve for his seller.


In this episode, Charlie breaks down why he took the risk, the strategy behind the result, and why he’s in this industry for the long haul. He shares how he’s pushing past the fear of putting himself out there, what he’s learning from top agents, and why a long-term mindset beats short-term thinking every time. If you want to build a career that lasts - not just chase quick deals - this episode is for you.


Listen now and learn what separates agents who last from those who don’t.
