Sean Fitzpatrick is a full-time property investor, educator, and the Face of Progressive Property. With a portfolio valued in the 7 figures and a knack for creative deal-making, off-market sourcing, and smart finance strategies, Sean brings real-world insight to every stage he steps on.

But his journey didn’t start in a boardroom—it started on an impoverished council estate in Northern Ireland.

A self-taught pianist, Sean earned his place at university through grit and determination. He went on to become a school teacher—but after years of working long hours for modest pay and missing precious time with family, he knew something had to change. That’s when he discovered Progressive Property—and everything did change.

As he immersed himself in the community and began to learn new ways of thinking, he started to see just how broken the education system really was: designed more to control children than to empower them, and filled with outdated ideas he was expected to enforce. The more he learned, the more he realised he was part of the problem.

By applying creative strategies and refusing to play by the "normal" rules, Sean turned his residential property from a financial burden into a high-performing asset. Just 18 months after finding Progressive, he walked away from his teaching job and into a life of financial independence.
