The Australian mortgage and property market is shifting rapidly and brokers are at the centre of it all. In this episode of Broker Daily Uncut, hosts Phil Tarrant and Alex Whitlock unpack the forces transforming the sector – from investor pullback and a tightening rental market to crypto-backed lending and the rise of high-demand niche borrower groups like divorcees. With banks doubling down on broker support and borrowers seeking greater choice, brokers are more critical than ever. But with fewer investors and more complexity in the market, some are asking: will brokers need to reinvent their business models to stay ahead? We explore whether crypto-backed home loans are the future – or just a passing trend – and look at the growing influence of digital-native investors who demand tailored, tech-savvy solutions. Plus, we dive into one of the most overlooked borrower segments: Australians navigating property during divorce. With nearly 50,000 divorces a year and high-value property often on the line, brokers who can operate in this space may gain an edge.

Customers can distinguish between genuine human interactions and automated responses. Authenticity matters. Without trust, they will seek alternatives. This was the topic of discussion in this week's episode of Business Accelerator. Trust is especially critical in financial advice, where clients rely on brokers to act in their best interests. AI, automation, and digital interactions can erode trust if overused in sensitive areas. Don't forsake intimacy for efficiency.

In this episode of Finance Specialist, Trent Carter and Jack Campbell discuss the importance of prudent financial planning in an uncertain economic climate, balancing optimism with preparedness. Carter reinforced why you should never count your chickens before they hatch. Brokers should avoid guaranteeing rate movements and instead prepare clients for multiple scenarios. While many were caught off guard by the decision, it's important for brokers to help clients focus on controllable factors, rather than speculation.

In this episode of The MHP Broker's Tips and Tricks podcast, Maxwell Baker, president of The Mobile Home Park Broker, interviewed The MHP Broker Eric Wanck regarding an unusually easy sale in North Carolina. As with every Tips and Tricks podcast episode, this one is brought to you by The MHP Broker's proprietary Community Price Maximizer. Use this four-step system to get the highest price possible for your mobile home park or RV community when you sell it through The MHP Broker. Guaranteed. Call Max for details. Here Are the Show Highlights: If there was anything “unusual” about this transaction in North Carolina, it's how smoothly it went. Anyone who's been in mobile home sales, whether as a buyer, a seller or a broker knows that's not usually the case. For starters, the park was only on the market for 30 to 45 days before it went under contract. The seller had good books and complete records, which moved things along. Also, the park only contained park-owned homes, and they were 100 percent occupied. And all of the homes were titled, so there was no chasing down missing titles. They also had a great location in NC, a desirable place to be. (Eric, 01:17) Another thing that made the transaction quicker and easier than usual was the fact that the buyer was dealing with a lender he'd done business with before, so the lender knew his credit history and the business he was in. They already had a good business relationship. And the buyer owned a small portfolio of mobile home parks, so he knew how to conduct due diligence and get a transaction done. Now the only potential obstacle was the appraisal. (Eric, 2:18) The appraisal went just as smoothly as the rest of the deal. No surprises whatsoever. (Eric, 2:46) Max noted the ability to sell your park even if you don't have good books and records, but it's easier on everyone (and faster!) if you keep good records. And it will help you get the best price possible. (Max, 3:35) Easy sale, or challenges every step of the way. Whatever obstacles we find in front of us, we can get past it and get you a good and clean sale at the best possible price. Call Eric Wanck or Max Baker at The MHP Broker, (678) 932-0200 and we'll help you find a qualified buyer and an optimal sale price.You can also drop us a line at info@themhpbroker.com. Power Quotes in This Episode: “Thankfully we had no issues whatsoever. So, it tells me that we got a good contract, we priced it right, and as I said, this one was a really smooth little deal. We got it closed on time, no extensions.” (Eric, 2:46) “That's rare. It's like a unicorn!” (Max, 3:01) “ We can still sell the community for you (if you don't have good records), but there's just so many more options for you as a seller if you have clean books and records, because you want to be easy to buy from. If you're hard to buy from, the price is gonna suffer. If you're easy to buy from, you're gonna get the highest price you can get.” (Max, 3:35)

Most people don't fail because they lack discipline or resources, they fail because their subconscious needs them to. In this episode of Brokers of Secrets, William Lam exposes the hidden psychology of secondary gain, the emotional payoff that keeps high achievers stuck in cycles of sabotage, such as financial struggle, illness, and relationship drama. William explains how your subconscious can trade progress for protection, creating loops that feel safe but stall growth.

Is your portfolio built by a broker or a model?

The managed service provider (MSP) cyber insurance landscape is facing significant challenges, primarily due to the certification process rather than the coverage itself. Edouard von Herberstein, a seasoned expert in complex risk management, recognized the inefficiencies within this system and founded Spectra, the first MSP certification platform acknowledged by major insurers. His insights reveal that the lack of trust and understanding between insurers and MSPs has created a bottleneck, preventing effective collaboration in enhancing cyber resilience and risk management.Spectra's approach focuses on certifying the MSP as an organization rather than individual technicians. This certification process involves a thorough examination of how MSPs protect themselves, the resilience of the solutions they offer, and the deployment of these solutions to customers. By ensuring that MSPs meet specific standards and best practices, Spectra aims to build trust with insurers, who have historically been skeptical of the MSP sector. This certification not only enhances the credibility of MSPs but also provides insurers with a reliable way to assess risk.The conversation also touches on the skepticism that exists on both sides of the insurance and MSP relationship. Many MSPs view insurers as profit-driven entities that often deny claims, while insurers perceive MSPs as lacking value. However, through initiatives like Spectra, there is a growing recognition of the mutual benefits that can arise from collaboration. Brokers are increasingly seeking certified MSPs to refer to clients, creating a new dynamic where both parties can thrive.Finally, the discussion highlights the importance of insurance in the broader context of cybersecurity. While some argue that organizations can self-insure by maintaining sufficient funds for potential breaches, the reality is that many SMEs do not recover from incidents like ransomware attacks. Insurance provides not only financial support but also critical guidance and resources post-incident. By fostering a partnership between certified MSPs and insurers, Spectra aims to create a more resilient cybersecurity ecosystem that benefits all stakeholders involved.

Recurring setbacks aren't just bad luck or poor discipline, but a subconscious program running on autopilot. In this episode of Brokers of Secrets, William Lam unpacks the psychological “loop” , a hidden, recurring pattern that drives cycles of success followed by collapse across all aspects of life. These loops are not random. They are encoded into your unconscious through early childhood imprinting, social conditioning, and generational trauma. Without realizing it, most people repeat the same emotional cycles such as overworking only to burn out or attracting the same toxic partners, but there is a way out. William reveals how to diagnose your personal loop, decode the secondary emotional gains behind it, and reprogram your subconscious mind from a win/lose or pain/pleasure cycle into a “win or win more” reality. He introduces two powerful tools, the Loop Quiz and the 7-Day Sprint, to help you uncover your loop and permanently break free.Whether you're an entrepreneur, a high performer, or someone ready to stop reliving the same frustrations year after year, this episode offers a transformative roadmap to reclaiming agency over your lifeChapters:(00:00) Introduction(00:49)The Success Failure Loop (02:03) Success Crash Scenarios (06:48) Relationship Loops and Toxic Patterns(20:41) Repeating Relationship Cycles Explained(25:56) The Savior Complex(27:47) Health and Fitness Motivation Loops(31:07) Awareness, Reprogramming, and Next StepsLearn more at https://upgrd.comFollow us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/theupgrd

Ron Kamdem, our U.S. Real Estate Investment Trusts & Commercial Real Estate Analyst, discusses how GenAI could save the real estate industry $34 billion and where the savings are most likely to be found.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Ron Kamdem, Head of Morgan Stanley's U.S. Real Estate Investment Trusts and Commercial Real Estate research. Today I'll talk about the ways GenAI is disrupting the real estate industry.It's Tuesday, July 1st, at 10am in New York.What if the future of real estate isn't about location, location, location – but automation, automation, automation?While it may be too soon to say exactly how AI will affect demand for real estate, what we can say is that it is transforming the business of real estate, namely by making operations more efficient. If you're a customer dealing with a real estate company, you can now expect to interact with virtual leasing assistants. And when it comes to drafting your lease documents, AI can help you do this in minutes rather than hours – or even days.In fact, our recent work suggests that GenAI could automate nearly 40 percent of tasks across half a million occupations in the real estate investment trusts industry – or REITs. Indeed, across 162 public REITs and commercial real estate services companies or CRE with $92 billion of total labor costs, the financial impact may be $34 billion, or over 15 percent of operating cash flow. Our proprietary job posting database suggests the top four occupations with automation potential are management – so think about middle management – sales, office and administrative support, and installation maintenance and repairs.Certain sub-sectors within REITs and CRE services stand to gain more than others. For instance, lodging and resorts, along with brokers and services, and healthcare REITs could see more than 15 percent improvement in operating cash flow due to labor automation. On the other hand, sectors like gaming, triple net, self-storage, malls, even shopping centers might see less than a 5 percent benefit, which suggests a varied impact across the industry.Brokers and services, in particular, show the highest potential for automation gains, with nearly 34 percent increase in operating cash flow. These companies may be the furthest along in adopting GenAI tools at scale. In our view, they should benefit not only from the labor cost savings but also from enhanced revenue opportunities through productivity improvement and data center transactions facilitated by GenAI tools.Lodging and resorts have the second highest potential upside from automating occupations, with an estimated 23 percent boost in operating cash flow. The integration of AI in these businesses not only streamline operations but also opens new avenues for return on investments, and mergers and acquisitions.Some companies are already using AI in their operations. For example, some self-storage companies have integrated AI into their digital platforms, where 85 percent of customer interactions now occur through self-selected digital options. As a result, they have reduced on-property labor hours by about 30 percent through AI-powered staffing optimization. Similarly, some apartment companies have reduced their full-time staff by about 15 percent since 2021 through AI-driven customer interactions and operational efficiencies.Meanwhile, this increased application of AI is driving new revenue to AI-enablers. Businesses like data centers, specialty, CRE services could see significant upside from the infrastructure buildout from GenAI. Advanced revenue management systems, customer acquisition tools, predictive analytics are just a few areas where GenAI can add value, potentially enhancing the $290 billion of revenue stream in the REIT and CRE services space.However, the broader economic impact of GenAI on labor markets remains hotly debated. Job growth is the key driver of real estate demand and the impact of AI on the 164 million jobs in the U.S. economy remains to be determined. If significant job losses materialize and the labor force shrinks, then the real estate industry may face top-line pressure with potentially disproportionate impact on office and lodging. While AI-related job losses are legitimate concerns, our economists argue that the productivity effects of GenAI could ultimately lead to net positive job growth, albeit with a significant need for re-skilling.Thanks for listening.

If you're still relying on check calls and spreadsheets to track freight, you're already behind. In this episode, Chain's EVP of Sales, Kevin Coomes, joins the show to break down how his team is building AI-powered tools that make life easier for freight brokers, from exception management to proactive customer communication. We also dig into the origin of Chain, how their Autopilot tool works inside your TMS, and why eliminating noise is the real key to broker productivity. Key takeaways: Most freight brokers still rely on outdated, reactive methods like manual check calls. Chain uses AI to centralize communication and automate exception management directly inside the TMS. Autopilot is designed to work in the background, taking care of low-value tasks so brokers can focus on what matters. Visibility doesn't just mean tracking freight—it means proactively alerting stakeholders before problems arise. The freight future is about cleaner data, less busywork, and platforms that help you grow.LINKS:Kevin's LinkedInChain's WebsiteWATCH THE FULL EPISODE HEREFeedback? Ideas for a future episode?

On this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Phil Tarrant marks a decade of guiding investors through market shifts, joined by the Mortgage & Finance Association of Australia CEO, Anja Pannek, to discuss the vital role of mortgage broking. The discussion focuses on the vital role of mortgage brokers in Australia, particularly in the evolving property market, including challenges such as COVID-19 and shifts in mortgage regulation. Mortgage brokers now handle nearly 77 per cent of loans, up from 50 per cent in 2010, thanks to their consumer-first approach and stringent regulation. Brokers provide essential services, such as refinancing, debt consolidation, and financial guidance, particularly during periods of fluctuating interest rates. Despite media misconceptions, mortgage brokers boost competition and choice, benefiting borrowers; with market share expected to surpass 80 per cent, they remain essential partners offering personalised support and lender access. The duo encourages investors and aspiring brokers alike to leverage their expertise to navigate the complex mortgage landscape confidently.

In this episode, recorded live at TMSA Elevate in Austin, Texas, SPI Logistics' CRO Senior Vice President, Mike Mikulik, joins Blythe to share the freight fundamentals that never go out of style, like proving your worth, asking better questions, and why breaking bread still beats fancy tech. Whether you're a new broker or a seasoned freight agent, this conversation is full of tried and true insights that can level up your relationship game. Key takeaways: Always start small and prove yourself before trying to win the biggest lanes. Brokers should understand their customer's supply chain to provide real value.

“As a broker, our job is counting cards against the system. Because everything catches up 5-10 years later. Every other broker, every other consultant gets in like, oh, that's a great idea. We're always trying to find the next little thing, and then the system eventually shuts it down because it messes with somebody's money." - Taylor OrtonWhat does it mean to be on the bleeding edge of employee benefits? My next guest, Taylor Orton, CEBS, of Cottingham & Butler, frames the work of a top consultant as “counting cards against the system”, and trying to continuously stay ahead of the market. Taylor broke down several of the key areas of cost containment that are often employed by brokers and gave his take, as well as what it means to be on the “bleeding edge” of benefits. He also shared with me why cost containment doesn't just mean lowering the “unit cost” of healthcare; it also means trying to reduce the number of “units”. Much of this conversation was on the big picture of the healthcare landscape, so if you're a self-funded geek, this one is for you.Chapters:(00:00:00) Why Brokers Need To Be Constantly Innovating | with Taylor Orton(00:10:44) Optimizing Healthcare Benefits Plans(00:16:14) Why Procurement Strategies Are So Key To Cost Management(00:33:22) Market Forces' Impact on Healthcare Pricing(00:46:54) Employer Transparency About HealthcareKey Links for Social:@SelfFunded on YouTube for video versions of the podcast and much more - https://www.youtube.com/@SelfFundedListen/watch on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1TjmrMrkIj0qSmlwAIevKA?si=068a389925474f02Listen on Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/self-funded-with-spencer/id1566182286Follow Spencer on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencer-smith-self-funded/Follow Spencer on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/selffundedwithspencer/

Chris Hamilton is a finance expert with 15 years of experience, on a mission to expose how the healthcare system is stealing from the middle class. Chris uncovered a harsh reality: insurance brokers and companies have zero incentive to lower your costs. Brokers even make commissions on rising premiums, sometimes earning bonuses for keeping prices high. The Affordable Care Act, rather than boosting competition, turned healthcare into big business. What was once a market of 12-13 insurance companies has now consolidated to just 4 major players, dominating the industry. With fewer choices and rising costs, the average family is paying $24k in premiums annually, plus another $5-6k out of pocket—all while the healthcare giants profit. That money, which should be building the American dream—going toward college savings, a home, or retirement—is being swallowed by a broken healthcare system. For the middle class, these rising costs are an invisible thief, robbing families of financial security.
