Have you ever wondered what it’s like to run an RPP licence? You’ve likely seen the stunning photos and helpful insights we share—but what goes on behind the scenes for an RPP partner?

We’ve had the pleasure of working with our RPP partners over the years, and they keep telling us how rewarding the experience can be. From the freedom to be your own boss, to the support and resources from Head Office, building an RPP licence business can be a game-changer.

But don’t just take our word for it. We sat down with Greg Harvey from RPP Brisbane Outer North and spoke to him about his experience. When we asked why he was interested in becoming an RPP partner, Greg said:

“I was interested in photographing houses, but did not know how to get into it. I also liked the idea of someone able to advise me on the business path, not having run a business before.”

Greg has been with RPP for nearly six years, soaking up unforgettable experiences and taking stunning photos along the way. We wanted to know the best part of being an RPP partner—in Greg’s opinion, it’s:

“The backup and support that is there if you require it. The little talks that push you in the right direction.”

Of course we also wanted to discover what a day in the life of an RPP partner looks like:

“I exercise in the morning and then I start my day by sending off shoots from the day before, and then do any editing for any drone shoots and answer emails. I then go to whatever shoots I have booked in. Once they are done I come home and process them to send off to the editing team.”

Exciting and action-packed, wouldn’t you say?

As a partner in the fast-paced world of real estate, every day brings new challenges. We asked Greg about some of the hard parts:

“Time management is always a challenge. Prospecting is challenging to grow the business.”

How does he manage them?

“I generally give myself more time in-between shoots so that I have plenty of time to complete all the work I need to do. For prospecting I have to force myself to do it and keep it in small amounts that are manageable.”

Greg also shared something unexpected about owning an RPP licence:

“The challenge of pushing yourself to take on new technologies. That can be stressful. I wasn't expecting that. I didn't expect to enjoy the creativity as much as I do.”

Despite those surprises, the satisfaction of discovering new passions is hard to beat.

When asked for advice for people considering an RPP licence today, Greg said:

“My best advice is always don't expect any growth to be fast. It will be slow and steady. Always be yourself with clients and treat them with respect and always see things from their point of view to understand what they want in a business partner. But always enjoy the day.”
