Listings are tight. Rents are tighter. And policy might be about to test both. Pete Wargent and Chris Bates to break down the forces shaping Australian property in 2026 — from capital gains tax reform chatter and rental market stress to financing resilience and where momentum still exists. The focus: what actually changes behaviour, and what just makes headlines. Together, they discuss: - Unemployment holding keeps the possibility of further rate hikes alive - First-home buyers continue pushing ahead - Record quarterly housing finance and lift in investor lending show capital is still active - Winding back the CGT discount may reduce flipping but is unlikely to deter investors -Vacancy rates near record lows - Without investor participation, rental availability deteriorates further - Seller behaviour matters more than headlines; listings remain historically tight - Listener Q&A Resources for this episode Ask a question (select the Property podcast) Rask Resources Pete's Buyers Agency Alcove mortgage broking Amy Lunardi Buyers Agency (Melbourne) All services Financial Planning Invest with us Access Show Notes Ask a question We love feedback!

Estate agents using artificial intelligence generated images on property listings “is misleading to people” and wastes their time, according to Tánaiste Simon Harris. The statements came after Labour housing spokesperson Conor Sheehan raised the issue in the Dáil following criticism of one Cork-based estate agency and auctioneer showing spruced-up versions of photos of a property alongside the real ones. For more on this Anton spoke to Ray Cooke CEO of Ray Cooke Auctioneers.

Wellington City Council wants local authorities to have more power to curb heritage listings when it comes to planning law reforms. The council's submission asked for powers to strip buildings' heritage listings to avoid paying compensation and to make granting heritage listings to be by consent only. Wellington deputy mayor Ben McNulty says there's been many cases that inspired this move, including when the Gordon Wilson flats had to be pulled out through legislation. "We've got things like private homes that have the same heritage significance as Parliament House - that statistically zero percent of New Zealand will ever visit, cost double the insurance to maintain and you've got to get a resource consent if you want to re-roof or re-glaze."

This week's session focused on agent recruitment through relationships, social media, and strategic events. Jesse highlighted Debbie's success in recruiting through referrals, reinforcing that the same relationship-building skills used in real estate sales apply directly to agent attraction. The group discussed targeting specific “avatars” for events—such as luxury or experienced agents—and using pattern recognition to refine outreach. Creative networking ideas were shared, including luxury social media showcase events, “Listings & Lattes” prospecting sessions, and leveraging regional rallies and major events like Cabo to spark conversations. Social media strategies were a major theme, from intentional Instagram engagement and video texts to reverse prospecting and short 15-minute Zoom connections. Jesse also led training on active listening, emphasizing the importance of identifying goals, dreams, and pain points to guide meaningful recruitment conversations. The takeaway: consistent invitations, intentional follow-up, and authentic relationship-building remain the foundation of successful agent attraction.

For Amazon sellers, discovery determines everything. If customers can't find your products, nothing else matters. What many sellers haven't realized is how quickly Amazon's discovery engine is changing. Amazon is moving beyond traditional keyword-driven search toward AI-powered, intent-based answers through Rufus. This impacts how products are surfaced, compared, and ultimately purchased. In this episode of The Opportunity Podcast, we're joined by Jon Tilley, CEO and co-founder of ZonGuru, to unpack what this change means for sellers. For years, growth on Amazon centered around search volume, keyword placement, and ranking tactics. But Amazon is now interpreting intent, not just indexing terms. The platform is increasingly focused on understanding what shoppers are trying to accomplish, not simply what they typed into the search bar. That changes how listings should be structured and how images communicate value. It changes how sellers approach visibility, conversion, and long-term positioning. In our conversation, we discuss what sellers are getting wrong, which outdated techniques are still being used, and what it will take to stay competitive heading into 2026.If you're building or scaling on Amazon, this episode will help you understand where the platform is heading and how to position your business for what comes next. Topics Discussed in this episode: How Rufus and AI-based discovery are changing the Amazon marketplace (04:59) Rufus's big impact on Black Friday 2025 (09:23) How Amazon sellers can convert more using Rufus (11:40) How to make listing images more readable for Rufus (15:25) The aspects of your listing that matter most for visibility and ranking (18:26) Outdated techniques that Amazon sellers still use (21:10) Services ZonGuru offers that can help sellers optimize for Rufus (24:25) How to stay ahead as an Amazon seller in 2026 (27:52) Mentions:  Empire Flippers Podcasts Empire Flippers Marketplace Create an Empire Flippers account Subscribe to our newsletter ZonGuru Free Readiness Report Special Offer: 25% OFF on 3+ AI-Mapped Listings Sit back, grab a coffee, and learn how to optimize your Amazon listings for AI-based discovery.

The “3 No's” Outreach Strategy for Absentee Owners (Turn Cold Real Estate Leads Into HOT Clients & Listings!)Watch the FULL video replay at: https://youtu.be/iHAskZHqjyQJosh explains a real estate outreach framework for absentee owners and investor targets: intentionally go for “3 no's” to uncover at least one “yes.” He outlines two paths. For active buyers (landlords, cash buyers, flippers) he suggests leading with a simple deal “bait,” then clarifying whether they're not interested in the specific deal or not buying at all, then asking if they have any properties they'd consider selling, and finally offering a monthly market update. For seller-focused absentee outreach (tired landlords, out-of-state owners, stacked with indicators like tax default or liens), he shares short text/email scripts asking if they'd consider selling a specific property in the next 30–90 days, then follows up by asking about other properties they might sell, and then whether they're looking to add to their portfolio. He shares results from sending about 20 emails and getting four replies (all initial “no's”), emphasizing that a reply is the win and that it's difficult to get three straight no's. A detailed example with an owner named Terrance shows two no's turning into a buying conversation and a potential land-buyer lead; Josh plans to clarify the buyer's multifamily/geographic criteria and to reach out to vacant land buyers for the owner's Harvey's Lake parcel. The discussion also covers asking builders to commit to listing with you after they build, and includes a suggested variation involving trading up/1031 exchange and tailoring messaging using portfolio data from LeadDeck.Would like a copy of the doc shared?

In this Conversion Monthly episode, the team takes on a real-world Amazon fashion listing -- a ladies jumper from Adam Jagger's clothing brand. Adam launched this knitwear product last year with strong initial sales, but the relaunch has stalled despite refreshed images and PPC data. Matt Kostan shares consumer feedback from Product Opinion videos revealing that shoppers found the secondary images too text-heavy and "fast fashion" looking, with inconsistent color rendering across photos. Dorian then presents a complete visual overhaul inspired by Zara's photography style -- low-angle shots, model-camera interaction, and stripped-back secondary images that let the product speak for itself. The result: a 45% improvement in click share during simulated testing, jumping from 11% to 16% against competitors. The episode is packed with actionable advice on fashion-specific listing optimization, the power of "less is more" in secondary images, and why pre-launch polling is essential in design-led categories. Key Topics Live listing teardown -- Adam Jagger's ladies jumper analyzed by the full Conversion Monthly panel Consumer video feedback -- What real shoppers said about the listing (color inconsistency, text-heavy images, fast fashion feel) Main image testing -- Baseline vs. Zara-inspired low-angle photography concepts Secondary image overhaul -- Stripping back text and adopting a premium, warm aesthetic Pre-launch polling -- Why design-led fashion products should be tested before manufacturing Selling through the female lens -- Understanding emotional and aspirational buying in women's fashion Timestamps [00:00] Introduction and welcome to Adam Jagger [01:24] Adam explains the product -- ladies jumper relaunch that stalled [02:28] Category rules -- how much creative freedom do clothing listings have? [03:45] Matt shares Product Opinion video feedback from real shoppers [07:25] Dorian's approach -- studying Zara and H&M for photography inspiration [10:30] The "less is more" philosophy for fashion secondary images [14:02] Matt reveals test results -- 11% to 16% click share improvement [19:22] Sim's take on AI-generated images and warmth in the image stack [20:39] AI-generated video concepts for sponsored brand ads [22:50] Adam's reaction and takeaways [26:17] Danny's deep dive -- cognitive overload, decision paralysis, and the female lens [37:31] Adam's final thoughts and next steps [38:30] Sim on pre-launch polling for design-led niches [40:47] Final roundup and upcoming Seller Sessions event announcement Key Takeaways Strip back your fashion images -- Text-heavy, icon-filled secondary images can make clothing look like fast fashion. Clean, warm, product-focused images convert better. Study leading brands for photography direction -- Dorian reverse-engineered Zara's low-angle, model-interaction photography style and applied it to the Amazon listing with a 45% click share improvement. Consumer video feedback reveals what data cannot -- Ten 4-minute shopper videos uncovered issues like inconsistent pink shading across images that no one on the team had noticed. Pricing inconsistency kills trust -- Having one color variation priced higher than others confused shoppers and reduced confidence in the listing. Poll before you launch in fashion -- For design-led categories, spending $100 on pre-launch testing can steer you away from a bad product or nail the positioning first time. Sell the transformation, not the features -- Women's fashion is an emotional, aspirational purchase. The listing should make the shopper feel "this could be me" rather than listing fabric specs. Beware of over-optimizing click-through rate -- Pushing CTR too hard can lead to image fatigue and diminishing returns. Balance scroll-stopping visuals with long-term brand consistency.

Brian has served as a leader in online advertising and conversion rate strategy for nearly two decades. He's a trusted partner to tens of thousands of brands across the globe. And Brian's work has earned him a reputation as a disruptive force in a world brimming with new and interesting challenges. Through his advertising agency, Canopy Management, as well as his highly successful Amazon advertising consultancy, community training and software, Brian has helped over 25,000 brands increase sales by over $2 billion on Amazon through advertising strategy, conversion rate optimization and differentiation. The results his products and services deliver continue to put him in high demand, with companies both large and small around the world. So with that introduction, Brian, I want to welcome you to the podcast.Brian 00:00:56  Thanks for having me.Josh 00:00:57  I don't remember there's a there was a beer company and you might know this, right? That what they changed in their marketing is that they said that their their beer was filtered, right. I think that's the correct thing, right? Where their beer is the exact same.Josh 00:01:14  Went through the exact same process as everybody else. Right. And that is the differentiating factor is like they just went through that thought process of like, all right, what's the most expensive step or what's the what takes the longest amount of time. And they're like, oh, we spend a lot of time filtering. Let's call out that our beer is filtered. And so at that time, nobody else was calling out that our beer was filtered, whether that was important or called out. You know, and and it differentiated them. And I think there's a lot I mean, I've already had a big mindset shift with that, like with some of my products that, one thing that we can do is like there's a lot of like, hand tooling time that takes a lot of, like, hand craftsmanship for some of our products. It's like, why don't we say that this is actually handcrafted like each one gets, you know, we can market that. And instead of just looking at the standard competition and just looking at like, oh, what does everybody say about planners? Right.Josh 00:02:16  Well, our planner has 1000 pages. Mine has 1001 pages or things like that. That's that's the basic stuff. Like what? I love those questions that you talked about. And it can make such an impact. So I'll let you continue going down that path. But I want the audience to know, like this is a huge mindset shift and I don't we haven't had any podcast guests on thus far that's ever talked about something as simple as this when it comes to product optimization, that I think genuinely is like a true miss right now in the industry.Brian 00:02:48  It is a huge opportunity because I can I can guarantee you that. But, you know, I wasn't just being cheeky when I said, like, I could walk into any niche on Amazon and immediately see the opportunities. that is that is a true statement because your competitors, they don't understand the buyer psychology. They're not taking the time to consider their bio psychology. In fact, you're probably even going up against some brands that have, you know, a thousand SKUs and they don't have the time or the resources in order to even go through that process.Brian 00:03:16  But you can, right? If you truly are passionate about the audience that you're serving, I'll probably mention it a little bit later on. As far as, review, analysis. That's a whole, whole additional topic that goes into that. But, those examples, those are just a couple of, of, you know, 20 different, 30 different ways that you can make small improvements to how well that your product, you know, catches somebody's eyes, compels them or interests them, hooks them, I call it, to pull them into your product listing just from what's in your first 75 characters of your title. and then go towards the end the listing itself, 100% is that, yes, you can you can point out benefits and I and I made I pointed out a couple of examples here as far as like how do you come up with a benefit or feature that makes my product appear to be unique? Now, you brought up a very good point. And that is, you know, my competitors don't do this currently, and that is.Brian 00:04:15  Yes, they will adapt. When they see your success, they will emulate you. And you'll need to continue to innovate. So just plan on every six months going back, looking at your ni...

Getting Etsy views but no sales can feel maddening.Because if people are clicking… why aren't they buying?In this podcast, I'm breaking down why Etsy listings get views but don't convert, and exactly how to fix it without:- more traffic- more posting- or weeks of faffing with SEOIf your shop feels busy but not profitable, this is almost always a listing problem, not an algorithm problem.We'll cover:- Why clicks ≠ sales (and what buyers actually need to feel safe buying)- The photo mistakes that quietly kill conversions- How to write descriptions that reduce doubt instead of waffling- What your pricing is really saying to buyers- The boring-but-profitable fixes that turn views into ordersThis is about conversion, not hustle.Clarity, not more noise.I'm Steph. I've been selling on Etsy since 2016 and coaching handmade business owners for years, and this is one of the biggest patterns I see again and again.

A Traditionalist Perspective on Gnosticism with Charles Upton Charles Upton’s first books of poetry were published in 1968 and 1969 by Lawrence Ferlinghetti of City Light Books in San Francisco. He was then considered the youngest member of the “beat generation” as he was still in high school. He has subsequently written many books associated with the traditionalist school of spirituality including What Poets Used to Know, The Science of the Greater Jihad, Folk Metaphysics, Alien Disclosure Deception: The Metaphysics of Social Engineering, Day and Night on the Sufi Path, Dugin Against Dugin: A Traditionalist Critique of the Fourth Political Theory, The System of the Antichrist, and Vectors of the Counter-Initiation. His most recent book of poetry is The Wars of Love and Other Poems. Charles Upton offers a traditionalist critique of Gnosticism, examining its metaphysical assumptions about evil, transcendence, and the nature of the cosmos. Charles explores why Gnostic ideas resonate so strongly in modern culture, particularly feelings of alienation, simulation, and entrapment in an unjust world. From a traditionalist standpoint, Upton reframes Gnosticism as a symbolic diagnosis of ego and spiritual imbalance rather than a literal account of reality. 00:00:01 Introduction: a traditionalist view of Gnosticism 00:04:38 What traditionalism means and where it came from 00:07:58 The primordial tradition and unity of religions 00:15:30 Why Gnosticism is considered heresy 00:17:44 The Gnostic idea of a false universe 00:20:39 The Demiurge reinterpreted as the ego 00:22:31 Four Archons as spiritual distortions 00:30:18 Law, selfhood, chaos, and fate explained 00:39:28 How the Archons reinforce each other 00:59:06 Conclusion New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). He is also the Grand Prize winner of the 2021 Bigelow Institute essay competition regarding the best evidence for survival of human consciousness after permanent bodily death.

A federal judge just rejected Compass's attempt to block Zillow's private listing ban — and most sellers don't realize what this actually means. In this episode of Tom's Take, I break down the Zillow vs Compass legal battle, how Zillow's listing standards work, and why publicly marketing a home without the MLS could get your listing banned. If you're thinking about selling, this decision could directly impact your exposure, offers, and final sale price. We'll also cover what Bright MLS data shows about public vs off-market sales and how to protect yourself as a seller.

Private listings, office exclusives, coming soon statuses, Zillow, Compass… whew. In this episode, Katy and Alissa tackle one of the messiest conversations happening in real estate right now: private listings in real estate and what they actually mean for agents, buyers, and sellers.   With lawsuits flying, MLS rules evolving, and brokerages rolling out their own "exclusive" systems, it's getting harder to tell what's ethical, what's legal, and what's truly in the client's best interest. Katy breaks down the Zillow vs. Compass lawsuit, while Alissa shares real-life scenarios where private listings and coming soon statuses can either protect a client—or quietly hurt them.   This episode isn't about picking sides. It's about transparency, consumer trust, and making sure agents aren't letting billion-dollar companies dictate how they serve their clients.   Here's what we cover in this episode: What private listings, office exclusives, and coming soon listings actually mean Why pocket listings quietly disappeared—and came back with new names The Zillow vs. Compass lawsuit and why listings are the real battleground How private listings affect buyers, sellers, and fair housing When coming soon listings can work *in a seller's favor* Why MLS exposure still matters for pricing and trust The real ethical issue agents should be paying attention to Key Quotes & Takeaways Alissa: "If everyone starts hiding listings, it becomes a fair housing nightmare." Katy: "This isn't about agents or platforms—it's about listings. And listings belong to the consumer." Alissa: "If the house is ready and the photos are done, it should be on the market." Katy: "Open markets create trust. Closed systems create confusion." Alissa: "If your client doesn't understand what you're doing, you're not serving them."

You'll learn how to: • Build trust before the appointment• Set pricing expectations without killing the opportunity• Position yourself as the clear choice early• Eliminate listing competition before it starts• Create a repeatable system that wins listings consistently If you're tired of competing, defending commissions, and hoping to win listings at the table, this episode shows you how to flip the process in your favor.

Cooper walks through his daily schedule, how many hours he's actually working, how he structures his calls and follow-ups, and why consistency beats talent every time. We also get into:Why networking works when it's done with the right intentionHow one great deal can turn into 10–15 moreThe difference between buyers and listings and where Cooper focused earlyWhy working with people your own age can compound long-termHow to think about lifetime client value instead of quick winsCreative financing and subject-to strategies and why they matter in this marketHow to analyze worst-case scenarios so you don't over-leverageWhy content and deal-sharing builds trust faster than traditional marketingThis episode is a blueprint for young agents, new agents, and anyone who wants to build a real estate business that compounds instead of burns out.

Thinking Above the Lower Mind with David Hanscom David Hanscom, M.D. is author of, Back in Control: A Surgeon's Roadmap Out of Chronic Pain and Do You Really Need Spine Surgery?: Take Control with a Spine Surgeon's Advice. Dr. Hanscom is an orthopedic complex spinal deformity surgeon who quit his surgical practice in 2019 to focus on teaching people how to break loose from the grip of chronic mental and physical pain – with and without surgery. His insights arose out of escaping from his own 15-year ordeal of suffering with severe chronic pain. As he began to share his approaches with his patients, a predictable sequence of learning evolved. It is reflected in the self-directed action plan that he created, The DOC (Direct your Own Care) Journey. His website is backincontrol.com. David explains how mental and physical pain are not separate. He suggests ways to detach from the ego – that he says are a set of cognitive distortions – to heal from unwanted thoughts, reactivity, and anxiety in the mind and calm the physiology of the body.

He began his journey as an educator by single handedly spearheading the training of Chinese sellers on Amazon. The insights that Howard provided and the tools he developed led to what many in the United States consider the Chinese takeover of Amazon. He has saved, started, scaled and sold hundreds of businesses via Amazon and other virtual platforms. And he's done it time and time again. So welcome to the podcast, Howard. Howard, I think this is a good time to kind of talk about your mastermind. You do something with the elite seller society and you have a mastermind big, you know, kind of event that you do once a year, I believe.Josh 00:01:05  this is something that I've been very interested and I keep asking you about. I think every time I talk to you, I'm like, hey, do you have the dates? And do you know where you're going yet? So tell us more about that. And what is it all about? What content are you sharing?Howard 00:01:19  So the elite level of society is like, a mastermind that I have created. it's everyone that's been in our event, our mastermind events that gets, gets added into and, we kind of go in and help each other within our group, like how to solve problems, as well as, there's like, something that we can offer our group through, like, other mentorships or through, like, special, like things. I'm working on getting our, all our membership members. Members, that own, their own, account rep So that they don't have to go through the SAS program or SAS program. That really sucks. So they're getting like really good quality. employees and Amazon being able to support them.Howard 00:02:13  So I'm talking to Amazon on that on how we can actually make that work for our employees. So that's just something cool that I'm working with or things that things that are always open when you're in the mastermind. I like like you said, my shift change. Like you never you're in a box all the time. For most of the people that aren't in, in these mastermind I'm talking about, like, if you're even in these podcasts or in Facebook groups, you'll never get the same kind of, like information that you really could get on those different platforms than if it was in Bessemer. You probably know that, Josh. so, like, I'm just sitting there and learning and like, oh, there is this thing that out there to doing this stuff, you know, I'm not ready yet for it, but I know it's out there exists, so I need to do it. Like, for example, like, digital marketing, you know, I need to do some marketing, but I went to, I went to, custom conversion.Howard 00:03:16  I went to, a lot of, Carrie's events, like the weird events, you know, three and and even I'm thinking about getting into those two masterminds, right? One from all inside one site and also from Perry site, you know, so I'm trying to I'm looking into that. They're not cheap. They're like maybe 25,000 a year. but, yes, it's from the world, right?Josh 00:03:39  So yeah, I know that. That's great. And I agree with your statement there, Howard, in terms of, you know, the deeper tactics, if you want to go deep with stuff, you need to start reaching out and joining some of those mastermind groups. So I think it's going to take your learning to the next level. Now, Howard, you've educated a lot of Chinese sellers, right? And I think there's a negative stigma in the marketplace where it's like, oh, the Chinese sellers, they just want to implement black hat tactics, and that's who's always attacking me. you know, prior to this conversation, you and I discussed and you're like, you, you see kind of the black hat, black hat tactics kind of, you know, lessening to some extent or or another.Josh 00:04:22  But from your experience, you are so well versed on Amazon. I know a lot of sellers are fearful when it comes to black hat tactics, but would you mind kind of educating our audience in regards to what are the active black hat tactics that you see being implemented right now, and what are ways that sellers can do to protect themselves in advance, as well as what do you do if you do have a black hat tactic that actually affects you and attacks your listing?Howard 00:04:52  People think that, you know, like this stigma like, hey, you know, black hat and you do black hat, right? But the reality is, if a person has been in this industry for so long, they would need to know how to protect themselves. What kind of backpack techniques? Like what you're asking. Right. so, like, a computer security guy, right? Who does? Computer security? Needs to know how people are coming in and attacking the system. So if you're like a programmer an...

Episode Summary The most powerful skill you can learn in 2026 isn't Photoshop or marketing — it's typing what you want into a chatbot. Plain English is the new programming language, and you already speak it. But most artists get garbage results from AI. Why? Because AI isn't dumb — it's blind. It doesn't know your business, your customers, your prices, or your voice. The fix is simple: context files. In this episode, I break down exactly how to create context files that turn generic AI into YOUR personal assistant — and I give you a prompt that lets AI interview you to build the file automatically. The "Interview Me" Prompt Copy and paste this into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Art Helper: I want to create a context document about my art business that I can use with AI tools. Interview me by asking one question at a time. Cover these areas: - Who I am as an artist (background, medium, style) - Who my customers are (demographics, where they find me, budget) - What I sell (products, price points, bestsellers) - How I talk/write (voice, tone, words I use) - My business goals for this year After the interview, compile everything into a clean document I can save and reuse. Ask me one question at a time and wait for my answer. The Context File Menu You don't need all of these. Pick 2-3 to start and build from there. # Document What's In It When It Saves You 1 Artist Bio Story, background, philosophy Grants, press, about pages 2 Customer Avatar Who buys, demographics, budget Marketing, emails, ad copy 3 Product Lineup What you sell, prices, sizes Listings, sales copy 4 Brand Voice How you write, words you use/avoid All written content 5 Tech Stack Computers, printers, software, OS ANY tech issue — instant diagnosis 6 Collector List Past buyers, what they bought, notes Follow-ups, Christmas cards 7 Show Calendar Art fairs, festivals, deadlines Planning, logistics 8 Pricing Strategy How you price, margins, why New work, negotiating 9 Marketing Channels Where you show up, what works Strategy, focus 10 FAQ Doc Questions people always ask Responses, website copy 11 Vendor List Framers, printers, suppliers Reorders, troubleshooting 12 Studio Setup Physical space, equipment Insurance, optimization 13 Art Style Guide Medium, techniques, subjects Press, commissions 14 Business Goals Revenue targets, 1yr/5yr vision Planning, accountability 15 Competition Notes Who else, how you're different Positioning, marketing Where to Save Your Context Files ChatGPT Projects: chatgpt.com → New Project → Upload files Claude Projects: claude.ai/projects → New Project → Add to knowledge base Gemini Gems: gemini.google.com → Explore Gems → New Gem File formats that work everywhere: PDF, Word docs, plain text, Markdown Related Episodes Context is King: Stop Having First Dates with ChatGPT Every Time (2025)
