Co-CEO and Founder of OpenAgent
Over a decade ago, Zoe Pointon co-founded OpenAgent with one goal in mind: to simplify the property buying and selling journey for everyday Australians.
Over the years, she's had the privilege of collaborating with some of the brightest minds in real estate, amassing over a decade of invaluable experience and a treasure trove of insights. Zoe is truly passionate about making sure sellers and buyers are equipped with the knowledge needed to make the best decisions for their unique property transaction.
In Zoe's words, she's the one who comes up with the “big, crazy ideas”. She is stubbornly addicted to seeing these ideas become a reality, which she says means annoying her team almost every waking hour and consuming large amounts of caffeine to fuel the OpenAgent overdrive.
Keeping her sanity with early morning swims, long runs and bike rides, Zoe says that “taking on such a big challenge is exhilarating, and making progress is rewarding… Getting to built the team that makes it happen is the coolest part of the job”.
