Send us Fan MailCalling it a “bad market” is the fastest way to talk yourself out of doing great work. We unpack why the current Australian real estate cycle is better understood as a new market, and how that single mindset shift changes your confidence, your conversations, and your ability to win listings and grow market share even when prices have softened.We get practical on what separates thriving agents from everyone else: energetic yet calm presence, leadership with vendors, and the courage to talk price early and clearly. We dig into the 30 day comparables rule, why outdated sales evidence quietly kills campaigns, and how the best operators realign guides fast based on buyer feedback before a property slips into the stale zone. If you've got an owner clinging to last year's expectations, you'll hear a clean approach to resetting the conversation with facts and context, without drama.We also zoom out to the realities driving buyer behaviour, from interest rates and cost of living pressure to seasonal shifts like spring stock. The through-line is simple: deals still happen when you do the job properly, tighten the gap between buyer and seller, and communicate like a pro.

Send us Fan MailThe market hasn't “stopped” it's just stopped carrying lazy habits. We're three weeks out from AREC, and the timing couldn't be better because this is exactly when real estate agents find out whether they're doing the work or just taking orders.We unpack the practical fundamentals that still sell property in a softer Australian real estate market: doing serious buyer work (more depth, more follow-up, better dialogue), tightening your vendor communication around price, and using real buyer feedback to keep expectations aligned with today's market value. We also talk about set-to-sell meetings, why hyper-product knowledge matters more than ever, and how to speak with calm confidence when interest rates rise and the buyer-seller gap widens.Along the way, we share stories about standout performers and what great agents do differently, including generosity, humility, and discipline. The big takeaway is simple: you can't control the Reserve Bank or the headlines, but you can control your process, your conversations, and the energy you bring to every campaign.What's the one skill you're doubling down on before the year ends?

Send us Fan MailA single headline can freeze a buyer, spook an agent, and quietly sabotage a sale. So we strip the noise away and get practical about what actually works when the market shifts from easy momentum to cautious decision-making across East Coast Australia and beyond.We unpack what a transition market demands from a real estate agent: resetting vendor expectations early, giving direct feedback after every inspection, and pricing based on what has sold in the last 60 days not what sold six months ago. We also dig into the skill gap that shows up fast when enquiry levels drop: buyer management. If your buyer plan starts and ends with calling people after Saturday opens, you're leaving deals on the table. Strong agents build a database, stay in touch, learn buyer motivation, and create private appointment urgency without relying on the portals to do the heavy lifting.Then we get into deal-making: when to take a clean pre-auction offer, why “being a hero” can backfire, and how to negotiate with calm certainty instead of nervous pressure. We finish with one of the most useful owner-occupier frames in a changing property market: the changeover gap. If you're buying and selling in the same market, the gap often matters more than the headline price, especially for upgraders chasing long-term value.If this helped you think clearer about selling, buying, or leading clients through uncertainty, subscribe, share it with a mate in real estate, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.

The idea of becoming an attraction agent sounds simple, but in reality it requires a very different approach to how many businesses operate day to day. Instead of constantly chasing leads, referrals and growth, the focus shifts to building a presence where opportunities come to you. This conversation explores what actually drives that shift – from how you show up in your market, to how you communicate your value, and the consistency required to build trust over time.I'm joined by Tara Bradbury, Director of Active Agents in Hervey Bay, who shares her experience across property management, BDM and business ownership. Tara offers a grounded and practical perspective on what it takes to stand out, especially when starting from zero. From community involvement and client experience to social media visibility, reputation management and leveraging the right technology, she breaks down how strong, sustainable growth is built through intentional actions rather than quick wins.There is also a clear message here for leaders navigating growth in a changing market. Relying on one source of business or outdated processes is no longer enough. Agencies need to stay adaptable, regularly review their strategies and ensure their systems genuinely support the experience they promise. For property managers, BDMs and business owners, this is a conversation that challenges the traditional hustle mindset and offers a smarter, more sustainable way to build momentum and long-term success.“It's not who you know. It's who knows you. That is the most important thing out there.” - Tara BradburyWe cover:Concept of becoming an "attraction agent" in property managementTransition from chasing leads to attracting business through reputation and trustImportance of aligning business development strategies with personal comfort levelsRole of transparency, confidence, and trust in investor-agent relationshipsUtilization of technology and software for enhanced property management servicesImpact of social media and community engagement on visibility and client attractionStrategies for handling client feedback and reputation managementBalancing professional commitments with personal life in property managementImportance of ongoing education and personal development resourcesEncouragement for agents to be proactive and adaptable in their business approachesKylie's Resources:Property Management Growth School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/TPM-BDMSchool Digital Marketing School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/digitalschool That Property Mum Courses: https://www.thatpropertymum.com.au/courses/ The PM Accelerate Membership: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/accelerate Book a Strategy Call with Kylie: https://calendly.com/kylie-tpm/coaching-call Kolmeo: https://kolmeo.com/ Find out about our Done for You Lead Generation - https://calendly.com/kylie-tpm/done-for-you-leads-discovery-call35 AI Prompts to help you Grow your Business on Social Media: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/35-prompts-to-grow-your-property-management-business-on-social-mediahttps://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/5-misktakes-replayDigital Marketing and AI Academyhttps://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/digitalmarketingyesConnect with Tara Bradbury:https://activeagents.com.au/Connect With Kylie:Follow Kylie Walker on Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/thatpropertymum_/Follow Kylie on Facebook - https://web.facebook.com/thatpropertymumConnect with Kylie on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/kylie-wal...Explore Kylie's Website - https://www.thatpropertymum.com.au/Watch Kylie on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@thatpropertymum

Send a textYes, rates have gone up. But here's the important part most agents are missing...This is not bad news. This is your moment. Historically, some of the best years in real estate happen in tough markets. Because in a harder market, there's more stock, more motivated vendors, and less competition. When I had my own office, the biggest growth period was from 1990 to 1994.This was widely considered one of the toughest markets Australia has seen. Rates were pushing 17–18%.Yet, in our Marrickville office, my business partner George and I developed a simple framework: The 2-4-6-8 Strategy...

Send us a textA suburb record falls in Bankstown at six-and-a-half million, but the real headline is what it proves: momentum is still there for agents who price right, run a pro diary, and keep calling when everyone else clocks off. We swap excuses for evidence and map a practical path to 2x growth next year with simple, high-leverage shifts you can implement this week.We break down a ruthless year-end reset using stop, start, continue—what to cut, what to add, and what to keep but execute with more precision. You'll hear why belief follows action, how to build streaks that compound, and the exact daily cadence top performers use: blocked prospecting, tight vendor updates, and role-play that actually moves the needle. We share the short-video proposal that beats a 20-page deck, a clean negotiation frame that sets expectations early, and a buyer follow-up sequence that shortens days on market.We also dive into EBU structure: crystal-clear roles, removing the lead-agent bottleneck, turning assistants into revenue partners, and scaling only as fast as your plumbing allows. Scarcity, used honestly, becomes a close; discipline, used daily, becomes your brand. Use the holiday window to rest, learn, and pre-build January so you hit the ground running with a schedule that looks more like a surgeon's than a wanderer's.If you're ready to think bigger, act faster, and practice like a pro, this conversation is your blueprint. Enjoy the energy, steal the scripts, and set your 2026 standard now. If this helped, follow the show, share it with a teammate, and leave a quick review—what's the one habit you'll start tomorrow?

Send us a textWhat actually stops most agents from hitting seven figures? In this episode, we strip away the fluff and go straight to the real levers — belief, identity, environment and daily execution. You'll learn why goals must force growth: aiming from 32 to 42 sales changes nothing, but aiming for 75 requires a full upgrade in tonality, questions, energy and systems. We also break down why warm prospecting beats vanity content every time. Past appraisals, neighbours around new listings, local buyers and owners you spoke to 6–24 months ago consistently outperform random cold dials and reel-heavy branding that never asks for the business.We also tackle the environments and compliance realities that most agents ignore. Your culture matters — big office buzz, boutique focus or tight EBU — and the wrong one will quietly cap your growth. We unpack the three circles that hold agents back (situation, other people and self) and why the self is usually the true bottleneck. Plus, with underquoting under the microscope and AI monitoring campaigns, we outline the simple habits that protect trust: document conversations, update guides as enquiry shifts and deliver transparent vendor reports. If you're ready to stop playing small and operate like a genuine million-dollar agent, this episode gives you the blueprint.

Send us a textThis episode explores the evolving dynamics of the real estate industry, highlighting the impact of technology and shifting regulations. The discussion begins with a reflection on community and longevity, before moving into how agents can adapt their practices to meet modern challenges.With cold calling increasingly restricted by privacy laws and digital screening tools on iOS and Android devices, agents are encouraged to pivot towards building more meaningful client relationships. The implications of the Do Not Call register are examined, alongside practical strategies for moving away from transactional approaches and focusing on long-term value creation.Key themes include leveraging technology such as AI for smarter lead generation, enhancing efficiency, and positioning agents as trusted advisors rather than direct marketers. The conversation underscores a future where relationships, trust, and genuine value stand at the heart of real estate success.

Send us a textUnderquoting in real estate remains a persistent challenge despite years of legislative attempts to address it, with the REINSW CEO, Tim McKibbin, joining John McGrath and Tom Panos to unpack the legal and ethical dimensions of property price guides. The discussion explores whether underquoting actually benefits vendors or merely creates disappointed buyers who waste time and money.• The offence of underquoting is representing a price that's less than the agent's estimated selling price• Agents must work within a maximum 10% price range when quoting to buyers• If a vendor rejects an offer, the quoted price cannot be lower than the rejected offer• Agents can adjust price guides during campaigns as market feedback comes in• The obligation to represent accurate pricing rests with the agent, not the vendor• Poor industry education contributes to pricing issues with 80% churn rate in NSW real estate• Serial underquoters damage the industry's reputation and create emotional distress for buyers• Technology may play a role in monitoring compliance in future regulatory approaches• Transparency and integrity are essential for rebuilding trust with the public
