In this episode of Elite Real Estate Agents of SEQ, Adam Bell sits down with Jodi Russell from Harcourts Property Hub, a Gold Coast agent with 20+ years of experience and a genuine connection to the Mudgeeraba / 4213 corridor that goes back to 1980.

Jodi shares what it was like moving from New Zealand to the Gold Coast as a teenager, why Mudgeeraba has remained one of the region’s most liveable “golden pockets,” and how her background in casino marketing and loyalty programs helped shape the way she approaches real estate today, with a strong focus on relationships, consistency, and repeat/referral business.

You’ll also hear Jodi’s practical advice on preparing a home for sale, how she manages buyer expectations (without the BS), and why seller presentation still plays a massive role in achieving a great result.
