ELEVATEGUEST INTERVIEWSTHE ELEVATE PODCAST

Looking back, moving forward: Owen Wilson and Kul Singh

"One of the key elements of our strategy is to deliver the largest and most engaged audience of property seekers to our customers"

REA Group CEO Owen Wilson and Chief Sales Officer Kul Singh need little introduction as the leaders of one of the industry’s largest real estate portals.

But this year the REA Group has also endured the challenges of COVID-19 from a business and industry perspective.

As a result, they’ve worked hard to pivot and adapt, by offering their customers support, introducing a range of new products, and also navigating the work from home shift brought about the multiple lockdowns in Victoria, where the group is headquartered.

In the interim, they’ve also experienced unprecedented audience growth.

In this episode of the Elevate Podcast, we discuss how the REA reacted to 2020, the support they offered the industry, and where the group plans to go from here.
