Reality star Keira Maguire has gone back to her first love — property, despite also just signing up for a new TV series.

The former Bachelor, Bachelor In Paradise and I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here! contestant recently moved to Brisbane and has been working for Ray White West End since February.

Working alongside real estate agent, Ethan Petrie, Maguire is a buyer manager for the agency, running auction campaigns and finding buyers for properties.

“I work alongside Ethan as part of his team, supporting his buyer management and running all of his marketing campaigns to ensure everything runs smoothly,” she said.

Describing herself as “Keira 2.0” thanks to the new lifestyle and job, the 39-year-old said she had spent the past few years as an influencer, but wasn’t feeling fulfilled.

“I felt like something was missing,” she said. “I kind of just realised I needed a bit more mental stimulation.

“I feel like real estate gives me recognition, and I feel like you get results from your hard work.”

Maguire started her career in real estate as an agent before moving into a business development role for CoreLogic.

It wasn’t until 2019 that she starred in her first reality television series — and she’s just returned from filming her fifth in New Zealand.

Maguire has been revealed as a contestant on Channel 10’s The Traitors, which is set to air next year — making the announcement to her 120,000 Instagram followers.

The show will bring together some of Australia’s most memorable reality TV stars, including Maguire, Alex Nation from The Bachelor, Krissy Marsh from The Real Housewives of Melbourne, and Cam Merchant from Married At First Sight, to compete in a game of strategy and deception for the chance to win up to $250,000.

It involved two weeks of filming and no access to phones or technology.

“It was a pretty hectic experience,” she said. “I can’t say much because I signed an NDA, but what I can say is it’s going to be a lot of fun. It’s probably the best show I’ve done yet.”

Maguire wants to use the series as a way of reintroducing herself as a real estate professional.

“I’m taking real estate seriously,” she said. “This is what I want to do. I’ve already got a profile, so I want to use that as a platform.”

And, while her sights are firmly set on making a mark in real estate, she’s less sure about her reality TV future.

“To be honest, I’ve just filmed my fifth show, so I don’t know. It depends what it is, and the opportunity.”
