Leanne Druery was a latecomer to the real estate industry, joining the fold when she was 40. But they say with age comes wisdom and the Gardian agent certainly has plenty of that. 

In this podcast Leanne talks about her start in the industry, her success and how she fought back following personal tragedy.

It’s real, it’s raw and that’s exactly why Leanne’s clients love her. She prides herself on being caring, honest and genuinely compassionate.

Last week, she was announced Number 1 agent in Mackay by RateMyAgent and believes that it’s all about 1 per cent better every day in all things that has lead to her success.



“You have to like people and want to help people and be absolutely genuine in that.”

Some of the topics I discussed with Leanne include:
  • A recap of what Leanne has been up to since she won Transform 2017 including how she came through a tough Mackay market.
  • Known as “the matchmaker”, Leanne shares her must-haves for listing presentations and why the good old ‘caravan’ still has it’s place.
  • How Leanne has overcame personal tragedy and other obstacles to become Mackay’s No.1 agent, including her perspective on resilience and how it made her a better agent.
  • How small changes can lead to big results, including Leanne’s one per cent rule and why maintaining your mental health is so important.
  • Knowing what you want in life and dispelling the myth that real estate is all glitz and glamour.
