Brett Reddell: Why People Count More Than Commissions in Real Estate

In this episode of Elite Real Estate Agents of SEQ, host Adam Bell sits down with Brett Reddell, the go-to agent for Ormeau and Ormeau Hills. Brett’s journey from retail and hospitality into real estate isn’t the usual “started young, climbed the ladder” story, it’s one built on grit, community connection, and a belief that people always come before paycheques.

Brett shares why he left the big-brand franchise world for the boutique agency model, how he built his business with just $14,000 at the height of COVID, and why being with clients from first handshake to settlement matters so much to him.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The difference between working for a franchise vs. a boutique agency
• Why sellers should demand an agent who handles the entire sale themselves
• Brett’s presentation on “non-negotiables” for maximising your property’s appeal
• The most important question to ask before you list with any agent
