Q & A with Kristy Smith, founder of Agility Property

What’s the story behind your business?

I purchased my first property in Sydney when I was 22 years of age yet the process took months of research, endless weekend of open viewings and clouded with uncertainty. Since then I have acquired additional properties which provided great clarity that there had to be a better way for buyers!

What was your first job?

Footwear sales at Kmart. I still do like shoes!

When you decided to start your own business, what was your big “why”?

I guess I had two big ‘whys’. “Why can’t I lead a business and care for my young family?” and “Why is buying a property STILL clouded with uncertainty for buyers?”

What have you had to give up?

Financial stability.

Your proudest achievement to date?

My proudest achievement in business would have to be changing a 15 year human resource management career to launching a new business in a new industry. In life, my two children, who have taught me that simplicity can be the most fun!

What are some of the most exciting projects you’ve worked on?

During my HR management career I had the opportunity to work in Chile on a Coal Steam Powered Energy Plant. Chile is a fascinating and beautiful country and I thoroughly enjoyed and gained so much from the country and the project. My first property acquisition for a client of Agility Property was thrilling. I was thrilled to help them achieve their goal and I was thrilled for the business too.

What would you tell your younger self not to do?

Don’t doubt yourself so harshly.

What is the best advice you’ve ever received?

Start how you would like it to be in the end. I love how this simple statement captures so much about life or business; have a vision, a plan and a style.

What’s next for you and your business?

We are full swing growth mode which is enthralling, invigorating and challenging.
