We convinced two brilliant minds to argue opposite sides of one of the most controversial topics in real estate! What happens when you take a commonly held belief in the industry and get two brilliant minds to defend positions they might not even believe? Welcome to EDGE CASE – where we test assumptions and expose what people REALLY think. TODAY'S BIG QUESTION: "Do star agents deserve special treatment, even if it ruffles feathers?" THE TWIST: They flipped a coin to decide who would argue which side. One of them is arguing AGAINST their actual beliefs. You won't know who until the "truth reveal" at 45:00. IN THIS ROUND Dom "The Dominator" Thurbon – World top 10 debater, sold his company to EY, PM One Conference MC. Fiona Blayney – 30-year industry veteran who's pretty much seen it all, creator of PM One Conference. WHY EDGE CASE EXISTS: We're here to challenge traditional thinking in an era of disruption and change. Each Edge Case episode takes a controversial statement that the industry whispers about but never properly debates. We convince brilliant minds to argue BOTH sides – expanding how we all think about the biggest challenges facing property. This is intellectual combat designed to make the entire industry smarter. THE FORMAT:  Round 1: Opening arguments Round 2: Cross-examination Round 3: Evidence bombs Round 4: Direct confrontation Round 5: Rebuttals Round 6: TRUTH REVEAL (they drop the act)  VOTE: Should YOUR million-dollar agents get million-dollar treatment?

How many property management models are out there today? It’s an interesting question because most people in PM only think in terms of one model - the traditional, full-service approach to managing properties for clients. But there are more options on the table for our customers now, with the vast array of technology available and new ways of providing services that clients can actually do - at least partly - for themselves. This episode features Fiona Blayney of Real+ - a highly successful recruitment, consultancy, coaching, and training business for the real estate industry. She’s also an integral part of the organisation and planning of ARPM - one of the best training and networking events in the industry. Episode Sponsor: This episode is with thanks to connectnow.

Outline of This Episode [2:41] Most ideas our industry needs are at work in other industries already [4:01] Why we should be building our business for the customer of 2025 [5:42] 4 different property management models to consider [12:21] We’ve all been competing on the wrong themes as Property Managers [18:46] What to expect from ARPM this year [23:34] The Leadership Diaries [38:50] Change is always happening, calm your mind so you can succeed Which of the 4 Property Management models will you follow? Those of us working actively in the PM industry are used to the traditional, full-service model. But things are changing - in fact, things have already changed. The models we discuss in this episode are already in play and every PM company needs to determine what type of business they are. This recognition could not only change the way you serve your customers but could also increase and diversify your revenue streams. #1 - The traditional real estate model We all know what this one is about. It’s handling everything from finding and placing tenants to managing repairs and collecting rent. This will remain an option for clients in the future. #2 - Franchise-style, boutique, micro property management Imagine a freelance sort of property manager, sitting at her kitchen table, using a property management company’s name, a piece of software, and their industry knowledge to manage properties in a geographic area. If you can picture it, you've got a good idea of what this model can look like. #3 - The landlord self-serve model This property management model is one where the tech is provided to an individual landlord so that THEY can more effectively manage their own properties. It’s essentially a “software as a service” model (SaaS), applied to the Property Management industry. #4 - Online offering with fee-for-service roles This is very much a hybrid property management model, offering DIY type elements but also individual services (repairs, for example) that can be contracted out for a fee on an as-needed basis. Listen as Fiona dives deep into each of these, explains why they are important to understand, and why offering them through your PM company can expand your income streams and improve your customer experience. Disruption is a ‘yesterday’ term - consumers now have serious choices For some years now we’ve heard the word “disruption” used in an effort to explain how the property management industry is changing. Fiona says the word is beyond any meaningful use these days because the disruption has already happened. In today’s PM industry consumers have a wide variety of choices of how they can have their properties managed. The four property management models mentioned by her in this episode may just be the tip of the iceberg. Do you offer your clients the wide array of choices now possible? If not, can you see how you are limiting both the choices you can offer customers and the opportunities for diversifying the revenue streams of your firm?

Remembering to enjoy life, putting ‘belly laughing' as a to-do on your list - 08:05The fifth element of goal setting: giving - 08:52The sixth element of goal setting: learning - 09:46The seventh element of goal setting: travel. It doesn't necessarily need to be ‘travelling overseas/interstate'; replace the word with ‘adventure' and doing something new - 10:18The eighth element of goal setting: career. What do you want your career to look like over the next 12 months? What's the most important thing? - 10:46The Values Play-off: Identifying your top three goals of the eight, and putting it side-by-side with your other goals. E.g. “You can have health, but you can't have fun...which one do you choose?” “Well, if I am healthy, fun will naturally come.” - 11:37There has to be a constant innate questioning of “why do I want this and what will it actually bring to my life?” - 14:08Turning SMART goals into SMARTER goals. E for Energy and R for Risk. - 17:06Achieving goals requires energy. Putting 110% is unrealistic. You will need to source that anything beyond your 100% from someone else/ask for help - 17:36People may find it difficult to measure where they're at with their goals simply because they don't like standing on the scales - 21:47It's possible to achieve above profit levels for a limited time, but it's only unless you do the numbers consistently and track your results that you'll be able to maintain meeting your goals - 22:50
