Trading black gold one barrel at a time

BJ Jarrett has used persistence in seeking a career in oil: By Jessica Sier

For five weeks in 2010, a 20-year-old wannabe oil baron camped outside a boutique hedge fund's offices in United Arab Emirates.

He had run into a smooth-talking French oil trader in the thronging Buddha Bar in Dubai and became convinced his fortunes lay in black gold. Not trading the futures, swaps and options that dominated Bloomberg terminals and lined the pockets of young investment bankers, but the physical trading of oil barrels. Moving it from one place to another.

"Most guys want to sit behind a screen and make oil money, I'm much more interested in being involved in the actual stuff that makes the world turn," says Jarrett, a fast-talking Sydney native.

Push factor: Property marketing app followit directly links agents, customers

CLIENT: FOLLOWIT
OUTLET: THE AUSTRALIAN FINANCIAL REVIEW

Followit, a residential property marketing app that lets agents potentially bypass the large market incumbents Domain and realestate.com.au and communicate directly with buyers, will be rolled out nationally next month.

After trials in Sydney's northern beaches and the Perth metro area, the app, whose investors are real estate agencies and agency principals including Danny Doff of Laing+Simmons Double Bay, Melbourne's Philip Webb and Perth's David Mattock, is set to start marketing nationwide.

The newfollowit app plugs in directly to an estate agency's own software and passes updates on properties to consumers via the app in real time. Would-be buyers or renters set parameters for properties they are interested in, such as number of rooms, street or suburb location or even an individual address – as in the case of apartment buildings. They will then be pushed information for properties fitting those parameters and receive updates about those properties as the agents make them, whether open inspection times, photo updates or sale or rental news.
