Agent’s Corner Rick Hockey of First National Port Hedland

Some investors learn things the hard way. And today’s guest Rick Hockey — property investor AND real estate agent specialising in The Pilbara region in far north Western Australia — is, unfortunately, one of these folks.In this episode, you’re about to get a completely raw look at what it was like to be INSIDE the mining boom that hung a lot of property investors out to dry. And you’re going to hear it from someone who was right in the thick of it, and did TWO things during this time…(1) INVESTED in the WA property boom, and(2) SOLD REAL ESTATE before, during and after the boom!Back in 1980, Rick Hockey and his wife Bev made Port Hedland, a dusty but dynamic little town exporting some seriously big volumes of minerals all over the world… their home. And things were good especially when Rick made the shift to working in real estate and then the mining scene boomed to deliver some of the highest rental returns we’ve ever seen — and people from all walks of life were practically climbing over each other to call a basic 4 bedroom house in regional Western Australia theirs. And why was everyone keen to jump in? Well, that simple property in the middle of not-a-whole-lot would put $3,000 PER WEEK in their bank and everyone thought the mining boom and these crazy returns would never end.But then the huge orange trucks stopped turning up. And almost overnight, it seemed all of the tradies with their fat wallets did too. The price of iron ore plummeted. And, just like that, everything changed.Rick Hockey is an award-winning real estate agent specialising in The Pilbara region in north Western Australia — Port Hedland, South Headland and the Marble Bar area. He’s a Senior Sales Consultant at Hedland First National and has a THREE-DECADE connection with Hedland’s property market.  As a proven real estate consultant, he has developed from Rookie to Diamond Achiever and a Top Salesperson with more than 50 industry awards to date. Rick and his wife Bev made Port Hedland home in 1980 loving the opportunities, lifestyle and raising their 3 children there.LISTEN TO THE FIRST 20 EPISODES HERE &gt;&gt;MOORR MONEY MANAGEMENT APP: 👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3ioICGW 👉 Google Play: https://bit.ly/3OT86bW 👉 Web platform:  https://www.moorr.com.au/FREE MASTERCLASS: - How to Build a Property Portfolio and Retire on $2,000 a week &gt;&gt;FREE BEST-SELLING BOOKS: - The Armchair Guide to Property Investing - Make Money Simple AgainFIND US HERE: - Website - Instagram - Facebook - Youtube

Ep. 256 | ﻿From Gold Mine To Fool’s Gold: How This Property Investor Nearly Lost It All During The WA Mining Boom! – Chat with Rick Hockey

Today I am interviewing Rick Hockey who is one of our contributing authors in the book. I asked Rick to be a contributing author in this book for many reasons. He is not only a stand-out top performer in his area, averaging 12 sales a month, but someone who has been through many different markets in real estate. He’s seen both the good times and the bad. Rick has an inspiring story and I believe that he is someone we can all learn from. Rick achieved outstanding recognition at the recent First National Awards WA. - Western Australia's Salesperson of the year - Highest number of exclusive listings - Highest number of settled sales - Highest gross commission Real Estate Agents What You Need To Know Now! is available to purchase from  or buy the e-book on Amazon.
