“That said, brokers that go back to basics and refocus on what they should always focus on – their clients – are doing very well in their business at the moment.”
Mr O’Donnell said brokers should stop trying to control what they can’t control and focus on areas they can.
“Call your clients, focus on rebuilding relationships and you will find business opportunities will knock on the door.
“There are still buyers out there looking for a house, an investment property or simply looking to refinance their existing mortgage.”
