Aged 30 and under, these bright-eyed agents and property managers are proof that “old-school values” still underpin work practices of the best of this generation. And still, they are in many ways ahead of the game.

Goddard, 26, who is based in blue-chip Armadale and recently became an agency director, eloquently sums up the finalists’ impressive approach.

“For me, the extra mile should not be an extraordinary event but it should be an everyday one,” he says.

Goddard has mastered digital channels to stay connected to his clientele, but has never strayed from old-fashioned approachability. He reaped success with a letterbox drop of an “a bit about me” flyer with three new listings and nearly $200,000 in fees.
