About

Troy brings a unique combination of comprehensive real estate experience and deep expertise in vocational education, making him ideally positioned to bridge the gap between industry practice and learner development. With over a decade as a licensed estate agent, Troy has built a career grounded in client service, negotiation, and achieving outstanding results. His industry experience spans sales, business development, auctions, property management, and agency operations—giving him a thorough understanding of how real estate businesses operate at every level in both the residential and commercial sectors. As senior auctioneer for his own agency, he developed the dynamic communication and pressure-tested decision-making skills that only come from standing in front of crowds on auction day. His industry knowledge is further reinforced through his service on the Real Estate Institute's Young Agents Chapter Committee and the Estate Agents' Practice Committee, where he contributed to shaping professional standards across the sector. Troy's passion lies at the intersection of real estate and education, driven by a genuine interest in how people learn and how the industry can grow through meaningful training. He has trained and assessed the Certificate IV in Real Estate Practice (CPP41419) for many years across multiple RTOs including TAFE, the industry body, and one of Australia's largest franchise groups. This breadth of experience across diverse learner cohorts, virtual classrooms, face-to-face workshops, and online platforms has given him a clear understanding of what learners, trainers, and employers actually need. Beyond training delivery, Troy brings operational expertise to the RTO environment. His experience managing agency operations, trust account compliance, and property management portfolios gives him insight into the business systems and regulatory frameworks that underpin successful real estate practice. This operational lens informs his ability to develop assessment tools and learning materials that reflect genuine industry expectations—training that is practical, modern, and genuinely supportive for people starting or advancing their careers in real estate. Troy is committed to continuous professional development and staying at the forefront of both industry and education standards. What excites him most about PTA is the opportunity to build on a strong, well-established platform while continuing to reinforce its position as a leading provider of real estate education in Australia. Backed by Oliver Hume, PTA is uniquely placed to deliver training that genuinely reflects industry expectations and emerging trends. Troy is focused on supporting even more learners by broadening reach and continuing to offer education that is engaging, industry-relevant, and strengthened by modern technology— helping shape the next generation of confident, capable, and exceptionally trained property professionals.
