Monika Tu ... the 'Chinese fairytale' & the new Asian face on Luxe Listings Sydney. She's the founder of Black Diamondz, a luxury property agency that services many wealthy Asian clients.

But she wasn't always this bougie. She came to Australia not knowing any English and worked many odd-jobs when she was young, from waitressing to selling floppy disks in Paddy's Market.

We talk:
- Her keys to business success
- Embracing both East and West cultures
- Luxe Listings Season 2 goss
- Bougie property feng-shui (gold tree anyone?)
