In a nation that has embraced auctions, the reputation of this sales strategy is mixed. But according to one auctioneer, the experience can always be positive if the professionals involved communicate right. On this episode of Secrets of the Top 100 Agents, Aaron Davis, Harcourts' new head of auctions Australia, talks with REB's Juliet Helmke to discuss making the jump over the Tasman from the New Zealand market into Australia, and how he's approaching being a mentor to the network's up-and-coming auctioneers in the nation. Aaron shares some of the lessons he learnt as a young professional – including the biggest mistake he sees young auctioneers are making – and his thoughts on who is suited to the job. The duo discuss gender diversity in the auctioneering world, and what's required to encourage more women to enter the fold. Aaron also gives his views on why auctions can benefit all parties, so long as the professionals involved are upfront and honest in their communication. Did you like this episode?

The case of the real estate agent being forced to do a Māori culture and tikanga course or lose her job is a case of bad judgment by the Real Estate Authority. Estate agents have to do courses to retain their licenses. 10 hours of training a year... mostly they can pick which topics they do But a couple are compulsory for everyone. And one of them – there's only two compulsory - and one of them was the Māori culture and tikanga course. Now an estate agent called Janet Dickson who works for Harcourt's objected to doing it because she says it's a “subject that is only peripherally connected” to her job. And she's right isn't she? I mean a compulsory course on money laundering? Fair enough. Compulsory course on how to appropriately deal with issues and complaints? Fair enough. Sale and purchase agreements? Fair enough. But Māori tikanga and culture? Hmmm... not convinced. Now look... I think your life is enriched by learning about different cultures and different ways of thinking about things... personally... I find this one of the most fascinating things in the world. But that's a personal choice. it's shouldn't' be a job requirement for an estate agent And certainly not one that might leave Janet Dickson banned for five years from the job The Real Estate Authority probably has its heart in the right place but has made a massive error in judgment. For all the good they might've done in introducing some estate agents to diverse ways of thinking... they'll have done as much harm in creating resentment amongst others by forcing them to do something largely irrelevant to their work. Secondly.. By being heavy handed and threatening her with her job, they look like bullies. This is the kind of red tape nonsense this country doesn't need if we want to make doing business easier . If it's not related to the job, leave it out, no matter how worthy you think it is. And for the record... It says a lot that that course was compulsory last year... this year... when it's getting attention... It's now only voluntary.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
A real estate agent who's refused to take a compulsory Māori culture training believes she has support from the public. Janet Dickson is facing a five-year ban for not completing a short course on te ao Māori and tikanga -- and she's now seeking a judicial review. Dickson told Heather du Plessis-Allan the course has nothing to do with her real estate work, and contradicts her religion. She says she's been told by her employer Harcourts to go.

In this episode of the Rethink Real Estate Podcast, host Ben Brady dives into a theory that may surprise real estate professionals across the country. As he reflects on his recent visit to Harcourts' top North American office in Bend, Oregon, Ben shares his first-hand experiences and market insights that suggest the fast-moving real estate market may have actually hurt Realtors' businesses across the industry.

We have a VERY timely topic up for discussion this week. My guest in this episode is Martin Boyd, Director of Cyber Security at Vertex Cyber Security. Vertex Cyber Security specialises in end-to-end Cyber Security including cyber training, penetration testing, cyber audits, log monitoring and consultation. Prior to joining Vertex, Martin was a Cyber Security Lecturer at the Macquarie University Cyber Security Hub and prior to that, worked in Cyber Security for eight years at Commbank. And you'd have to be living under a rock at the moment not to realise that Cyber Security is one of THE most important issues in technology in Australia with high profile companies like Optus and Medibank being hacked and experiencing significant data breaches. And just days after this interview was recorded, a Harcourts office in Melbourne experienced an incident that was widely reported. Martin hosted an excellent roundtable at the recent Proptech Forum in Sydney and provided some somewhat terrifying insights into how hackers work and why real estate agencies are increasingly becoming a target. In this interview, we discuss the common mistakes made by both agencies and proptechs and what we all need to be doing to protect our personal information. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theproptechpodcast/message

Do you know what I would do if I was in the Labour Party cabinet at the moment? I'd find a way to get out ASAP. Especially if any of them want a career in business after this Government. They should probably think about finding another job, because the rot is starting to trickle down according to this year's mood for the boardroom. I think we expected the PM to take a hammering and she did. Down from 4/5 in 2020 to 2.3 out of 5 this year. But I don't think we expected Grant Robertson to fall this much. He was the most highly ranked Cabinet Minister last year. It's a surprise because he's been seen as a safe pair of hands up to now. He's affable… He's unflappable... he doesn't do that annoying performance thing that the PM does when she answers questions. But even he is being tainted by this Government. And it should be a warning to them all. That the highest ranking Cabinet Minister is James Shaw. Who is (a) not in Cabinet. And (b) not in Labour. Which says that he's escaping the worst of it by being at arm's length from the Government. If this is starting to hurt even Grant Robertson, it is going to start to hurt the others too. Every time the PM doesn't front for media on a tough subject and puts up Chris Hipkins or Kiri Allan or Stuart Nash, it hurts Chris Hipkins and Kiri Allan and Stuart Nash. One of the Chief Executives said the current group are "the worst Government since Muldoon". That is now widely accepted. You don't want to be associated with that. Bryan Thomson of Harcourts reckons they don't understand business. I reckon it's worse than that. They're hostile to business. No Minister is going to escape being connected to this lot. Because most of them are donkey deep in something we don't like. Jobs tax Kiwisaver tax Co-Governance Cancelling roads Making excuses for not building houses. If I was anyone of those guys, and I wanted a job after this - Or anyone in New Zealand to have any respect for me - I'd bail ASAP. At least that way they can salvage some of their reputation and show they have some judgement. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The newly released Mood of The Boardroom Survey indicates that confidence in Labour's economic strategy has decreased. Jacinda Ardern and Grant Robertson had their ratings go down to a 2.3 out of 5 and a 3 out of 5, respectively, according to new statistics. Harcourts Managing Director, Bryan Thompson, is here today to walk us through the survey results. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
On his first day back in the top role, the Harcourts managing director took some time out to chat with Secrets of the Top 100 Agents' Grace Ormsby about his decision to return to full-time work.

He also shares the industry-first approach he'll be taking into his new term as managing director and explains why fragmented leadership makes the real estate industry vulnerable.

Building on our previous episode on property management, expert Deniz Yusuf joins us to talk about how investors can get control of, and optimise, their property management. If you tuned in last week you'll already appreciate how critical property management is to your success as a property investor. But I don't want you to just take my word for it – it's more important that you hear it from an industry leading professional. So this week we commence with Part 1 of a 2 part interview with Deniz Yusuf, a proven industry professional who has achieved great things himself and is now an inspirational property management trainer and coach through his Inspired Growth Training and BDM Coaching programs. Deniz is an internationally recognised consultant who now coaches, trains, mentors and presents to property managers and agents across Australia, New Zealand and the United States. And unlike many “experts” with a long academic pedigree, Deniz earned his stripes on the ground - his property management expertise was gained over years getting his hands dirty in the trenches of rental properties where he successfully listed 925 new property managements from an astonishing 1077 presentations in under four years, which is a staggering 86% strike rate, based on his advanced skills and unique approach. Deniz now strives at assessing property management teams and finding the ‘blockage' in an office that may be stopping them from achieving their goals. After it's fixed, it's then about continued consulting and mentoring so they can become the best in their field. The impressive line-up of clients that Deniz has consulted with and presented to include the largest conferences in Australasia, including realestate.com.au, The McGrath Group, First National, LJ Hooker, Harcourts, the Real Estate Institutes of Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia, as well as keynote presentations to leading property management forums in the United States and many more. Deniz and his partners in crime, train well over 200 real estate offices globally through their Inspired Growth Training Inner Circle Membership platform. His focus is now helping property management offices to grow their businesses by creating superior client experiences, and mentoring property managers to become market leaders in their area. As you can hear, Deniz has a wealth of expertise and a proven track record in the challenging world of property management. So in part 1 of our great discussion today, you'll get to enjoy Deniz's journey that has led him to become Australia's pre-eminent property management trainer, including: How his early days as a fruito and vacuum cleaner salesmen along with his love of music has shaped his unique property management approach, so listen out for what he means when he says there are no emails in fruit. He unpacks his astonishing ability to break records listing rentals and how he did it. And he takes us through the trials and tribulations of his own property investment journey, including renovations, commercial property, SMSFs which you'll gain a heap of lessons from. He also shares his best and worst investments and biggest mistakes along the way. Enjoy part 1, and stay tuned for part 2.
