“I’ve always wanted to live an exceptional life. At about 16, I decided I want a bigger, better life for myself and I’m going to create that.”

Madelyn’s journey began early when she left school in grade 10 to forge her own path. By 20, she had founded a solar business that quickly grew to 20 employees and generated $1.5 million in its first year. She purchased her first property at 19, setting a goal to enter the market before turning 21.

Her transition to property came after experiencing the value of a buyer’s agent firsthand. After spending seven months searching for a property, a buyer’s agent found her perfect off-market opportunity within 24 hours, leading her to immediately pursue a career in the field.

“I loved being in property, doing what I love, but also helping people. Calling clients and saying ‘Great news, that offer’s been accepted’ – there’s no better feeling.”

At Upscaled, Madelyn has developed a unique approach focused on creating comprehensive solutions. Her team specialises in complex property purchases and has expanded to include building consultants who support clients beyond the initial purchase. They’ve launched “She Bought a House,” an initiative helping women enter the property market.

“BAI gave me the framework and confidence to build this business. Without it, I wouldn’t have had the clarity to grow this fast.”

“We don’t get taught wealth mindset or how to save for a deposit. All you have to do is get into the market, and once you’re in, you can leverage that to manufacture your own growth.”
