Real estate agent Brad Caldwell-Eyles can pinpoint the exact day last year that COVID-19 rattled his world, with the loss of $40m in transactions that were poised to exchange.
"It was March 23, and we had a zoom call with our accountants at 11am ⦠they said 'this is the real deal, it's time to batten down the hatches', the 1st City Real Estate Group co-principal said.
"It took us by surprise - when I put the phone down, it felt like the day after September 11; that dark, numb feeling."
