Aimee Marsh: Real estate agent sacked for mocking struggling renters and boasting she pays ‘twice their wages in tax’ cruises into a new job – and says she’s ‘an inspiration’
An estate agent who was sacked last month for mocking struggling tenants has found a new job and claims he is an ‘inspiration to young women’.
Aimee Marsh, 30, was fired from Ray White Aspley, near Griffin in Brisbane’s north, after mocking tenants in a local Facebook group – using her professional profile.
In the now-deleted comments, obtained exclusively by Daily Mail Australia, she said tenants earning $50,000 a year are “jealous” of her, and suggested her tax bills cover their Centrelink payments.
But a month later, Ms Marsh has ‘retired’ and is back working as a real estate agent with the Blue Moon Property group on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.
Although it was the social media backlash that got her into hot water in August, that hasn’t stopped Ms Marsh from going online to say she’s back in the property business.

“When you tell all your clients you’re retired and back to work and they text back things that spoke volumes to me,” the multi-tattooed real estate agent wrote.
“They’re the reason I do what I do.”
It was a markedly different tone than she took with the comments that got her fired in the first place, blasting tenants as “a disgrace and irrelevant.”
“Half of them don’t even have homes in Griffin. They are tenants,” she added, with a laughing emoji in comments that were quickly deleted, along with her Facebook profile, after being exposed by Daily Mail Australia.
“I pay twice their wages in tax, or I probably pay their Centrelink wages,” she said.
Ms Marsh then made another comment from her personal Facebook page: ‘Jealousy is a curse and money controls people and emotions lol.’
“I can’t wait to sell the houses they rent, hehe.”
A spokesperson for Ray White said she was fired “within about an hour” after the agency learned of her comments.
“We respect and value everyone in our community, and we have a large community of people who rent.
“Aimee Marsh’s views do not align with our company’s values.
‘We pride ourselves on our customer service, we have a large community of tenants and will not tolerate anything like this.’

But the way she was forced to leave Ray White hasn’t stopped Blue Moon Property from hiring her.
Ms Marsh wrote on Instagram that among the people who have contacted her in recent weeks are many with whom she has never done business before.
“Because even though some of them haven’t even used my services yet, I know they will one day, and they have shown me nothing but love and loyalty,” she boasted.
“I have still changed their lives in other ways and will continue to do so. It’s not always about the income, it’s about helping people and motivating people. Creating lifelong bonds.’
The agent, who previously described herself as the “#1 agent in Griffin,” also posted a message from a former client claiming to be praising her.
The message would read: ‘We knew one single incident, it wouldn’t stop you and ruin everything you’ve built for so many years.
‘You are resilient, strong, admired, an inspiration to young women, tenacious, you have a can-do attitude, you are persistent, motivated and driven.’
After being fired last month, Ms Marsh claimed she had been offered a lot of job offers but didn’t want to do Only Fans because there were ‘too many creeps’.

The self-styled top cop said she was unfazed by the prospect of unemployment as she was ‘inundated with vacancies’.
“There are options, but at this stage I’m just taking a mental break,” she said news.com.au.
She said she was disappointed with Ray White – where she was named agent of the month last January – for publicly announcing her resignation, but that other companies had checked to see if she was doing well.
‘I don’t let people walk all over me like I used to. I think that’s because of what you’ve been through. You develop a backbone.’
Ms Marsh responded to her comments on social media in an interview with Brisbane radio station B105claiming they were aimed at trolls who attacked her than at tenants in general.
She said she was targeted after she posted on a Facebook group that she had sold a house at auction for $85,000 over reserve and people started blaming her for not being able to buy a house on her own.

The former agent claimed she was ‘inundated with job offers’ following the publicity of her very public sacking, but insisted she would not turn to adult site OnlyFans because there are ‘too many creeps’.
“It had nothing to do with me; there were two buyers fighting with each other,” she said.
‘Unfortunately, this has left out people who feel like it’s my fault that they can’t get into the housing market because of prices.
‘And then I started getting blamed for the fuel, the groceries and everything else, so the comments that were made were very directed at me and very rude.’
Daily Mail Australia has contacted both Ms Marsh and Blue Moon Property for comment.
