Ernest explained that after studying nursing, he realised he was not passionate enough to practice what he had learnt. So, he decided to take another course, which was social science.

He added that even though he worked for a while in that field, he felt the need to do something else, thus he started working in the real estate sector, which was more fulfilling to him.

Ernest talks about his real estate business

In an interview with YouTuber Jasmine Ama, he said he started by buying old houses in Australia and renovating them.

“It’s been a while in Australia; we buy the property, renovate and sell or buy the land, build and sell or rent it out.”

Ernest disclosed that he lived in Australia for 24 years before deciding to enter the real estate sector in Ghana.

He then started building and setting up a real estate company called Golden Cherry Limited, where he is the chief executive officer.

Ernest said some differences exist between Ghana's real estate sector and Australia's. He added that one needs to be able to navigate Ghana's land purchasing system to succeed in the real estate market.
