Leigh Martinuzzi: Palmwoods’ #1 Agent on Doing Real Estate Differently

In this episode of Elite Real Estate Agents of SEQ, host Adam Bell sits down with Leigh Martinuzzi, Director of Martinuzzi Property Group and one of the Sunshine Coast’s most trusted names in real estate.

Since relaunching his career in 2019, Leigh has become Palmwoods’ #1 agent five years in a row, consistently ranked among the top five on the entire Sunshine Coast, and has picked up multiple ICON Agent Awards with eXp Australia. But behind the numbers is a story of second chances, self-discovery, and doing real estate in a way that puts people and experience first.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why Leigh walked away from his first stint in real estate, and what brought him back
• How his community-first mindset helped him quickly rise to the top in Palmwoods
• The power of honest communication and why buyers should never feel “in the dark”
• Leigh’s belief that selling property should be stress-free, even enjoyable
• The role his global network and personal growth journey play in better client results

Brett Reddell: Why People Count More Than Commissions in Real Estate

In this episode of Elite Real Estate Agents of SEQ, host Adam Bell sits down with Brett Reddell, the go-to agent for Ormeau and Ormeau Hills. Brett’s journey from retail and hospitality into real estate isn’t the usual “started young, climbed the ladder” story, it’s one built on grit, community connection, and a belief that people always come before paycheques.

Brett shares why he left the big-brand franchise world for the boutique agency model, how he built his business with just $14,000 at the height of COVID, and why being with clients from first handshake to settlement matters so much to him.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The difference between working for a franchise vs. a boutique agency
• Why sellers should demand an agent who handles the entire sale themselves
• Brett’s presentation on “non-negotiables” for maximising your property’s appeal
• The most important question to ask before you list with any agent
