The story
Why she started
Real estate was always her passion, but she had no capital to buy and did not want the risk of renting a place and subletting it. Property management let her start without either.
Her first warm lead came through her mum, who is active in rentals.

How it happened
What made the difference.
Her own network first
Her first warm lead came through her mum, which got her into real conversations in her first week.
Numbers the owner can check
At her first meeting she put short-term letting next to the €1,175 the owner got from long-term rent.
She did the work herself
She took days off her job, vetted six cleaning companies and negotiated with one before the owner signed.
Small steps, every week
About six hours a week, next to a full-time job.
Where things stand
Signed, and what is still open.
- Signed
One property on ’t Eilandje, Antwerp. Onboarding in November.
- In conversation, not signed
An owner with possibly 15 flats, a building with six units, and a family with seven rooms in one building. Simulations sent for the last two.
