In this episode of the REB Podcast, Liam Garman and deputy editor Emilie Lauer break down the year that was in Australian property, examining which markets surged, where momentum stalled, and why demand-side policy is setting the scene for further growth into 2026. The conversation explores interest rate predictions, refinancing options, and the economic forces driving inflation, highlighting why expert advice has become critical in an increasingly complex market. Garman and Lauer also unpack regional performance across the country, shifting buyer priorities, and the rise of the "compromise or miss out" mindset reshaping purchasing decisions, particularly among younger buyers.

Highlighting 2024 as a big year when he hired a coach who helped him go from 48 transactions in 2023 to 75 transactions in 2024.

In this episode of REB Podcast, Phil Tarrant sits down with Jonathan Bell, founder of Housemark, to discuss the evolving role of property management in Australia. According to Bell, property managers often form the longest-lasting relationship an investor will have in their journey, making their role critical to portfolio success. Since founding Housemark in 2019, Bell has grown the company to manage 3,500 properties across Queensland and Victoria, focusing exclusively on property management rather than sales. He stresses that investing in people, training, and processes allows agencies to retain top talent and deliver superior service to landlords and tenants. Technology and economies of scale are key to Housemark's efficiency, enabling innovative solutions like roaming property managers and dedicated investment services. Bell also emphasises the importance of treating investment properties like a business, balancing rental yields with tenant satisfaction to maximise returns. Looking ahead, Housemark aims to manage 10,000 properties across five locations while elevating industry standards and promoting property management as a respected profession. For investors, this duo underlines that a proactive, knowledgeable property manager can directly impact portfolio performance, yields, and long-term success. Did you like this episode?

In this episode of the REB Podcast, deputy editor Emilie Lauer sits down with the Rise Initiative's Kylie Davis to unpack why wellbeing has become one of the industry's most urgent issues – and why agents can't afford to ignore it heading into 2026. Davis explains why wellbeing shouldn't feel like just another item on an already overwhelming to-do list, arguing instead for small, sustainable habits that help agents manage stress before it escalates into burnout. Drawing on her own experiences, Davis highlights the emotional toll property transactions can have on buyers and sellers, and why agents often find themselves acting as "first responders" to clients in crisis. The conversation explores how agents can support highly stressed buyers and sellers without absorbing that pressure themselves, why switching off over the holiday period is so difficult in a commission-based industry, and how a gradual wind-down can make all the difference. Davis also challenges agencies and networks to move beyond outdated "harden up" mentalities, outlining their legal and moral responsibility to actively support staff wellbeing. Looking ahead, she discusses the role technology and artificial intelligence (AI) could play in identifying stress patterns early – while warning that human connection remains irreplaceable.

He knows his strengths and uses them to his advantage—leveraging his marketing and sales background to grow his network and build rapport with potential sellers. In this episode, he'll show you how to dig into the data and identify up-and-coming markets, hunt down off-market properties, and close!

n this episode of the Massive Passive Cashflow Podcast, Gary Wilson reconnects with Allan Burns—a New Jersey real estate broker, team leader, and systems-driven entrepreneur who has mastered the art of building plug-and-play real estate operations. From expanding across multiple states to integrating AI into daily workflows, Allan breaks down exactly how modern agents can scale faster than ever—without burning out, without guesswork, and without franchise-level overhead. Allan shares his early beginnings working outdoors in construction before discovering real estate as a pathway to freedom. Since then, he has built a multi-state real estate model centered on systems, operations, repeatability, and creativity. His approach allows agents to plug directly into his ecosystem, get immediate support, and scale their businesses with minimal friction. Throughout the conversation, Gary and Allan dive into the massive opportunities available to agents right now—from automation and AI to new brokerage models that eliminate geographic limitations. Gary also reveals how he uses AI avatars to produce consistent, systemized content, while Allan shows how layering AI on top of strong operational systems creates explosive efficiency. We explore why creativity—not just hustle—is one of the most underrated skills in real estate, how to build systems that work even when you're not around, and how to expand into other markets without the heavy costs and restrictions of traditional franchises. Allan also explains how his Navy-inspired operational discipline allowed him to build systems anyone can follow—giving agents and investors plug-and-play access to leads, training, and expansion opportunities in new markets. Together, Gary and Allan paint a clear picture of the future of real estate: highly automated, system-driven, AI-supported, and borderless. Whether you're an agent looking to scale, an investor seeking leverage, or a team leader aiming to expand beyond your local market, this episode is loaded with practical insights, big-picture strategy, and actionable how-to steps to build a real estate business that can grow anywhere. What You Will Learn: How Allan transitioned into real estate—and built a multi-state operation And how the desire for freedom pushed him to create systems anyone can plug into. Why creativity is a competitive advantage in real estate And how thinking differently can generate opportunities beyond traditional transactions. How AI is transforming the real estate business From automated content creation with AI avatars to integrating AI in operations, productivity, and scaling decisions. How plug-and-play systems simplify expansion Why systems modeled after military-level operations allow any agent to step in, follow the process, and succeed. How to scale your business into multiple states without franchise costs A modern brokerage approach that removes geographic barriers and reduces overhead. Why every agent is an entrepreneur—not an employee And how this mindset shift opens up unlimited income and creative pathways. How real estate can create multiple interconnected business opportunities From brokerage and investing to property management and education. How to create a business that runs even when you're not present The importance of operational structure, delegating tasks, and automating workflows. How systems + AI = massive leverage And how combining both allows agents to grow faster with less stress and more control. Why the next wave of top agents will be system-driven, tech-enabled, and expansion-minded And how you can start positioning yourself now.

By every safe, logical metric, Amal should've stayed put. She had a steady salary as a real estate paralegal, a young son to raise, and a clear path inside law firms and a developer's office. Leaving that safety net for full-time commission work felt risky, even reckless.Her strategy now looks simple from the outside. She mixed a finance and marketing degree with nearly a decade of real estate law, added a blended family of four boys, and layered on raw, unpolished social media. The result is a client-first business that runs on referrals, trust, and a growing online audience that feels like it already knows her.Amal grew up in the southwest suburbs of Chicago, raised in a tight Palestinian family that planted deep roots in places like Orland Park and Bridgeview. Arabic was her first language. She went to Islamic school in a Muslim Arab community that has grown over the years, and she loves watching new businesses and families take shape there. Today she still lives in the area, now fluent in both English and Arabic, and serves buyers, sellers, investors, and commercial clients in the southwestern and western suburbs.Before she ever held an open house, Amal spent almost 10 years as a real estate paralegal. She worked at small firms, big downtown firms, and later for a developer. She learned contracts, procedures, short sales, foreclosures, and how deals fall apart. The role paid well and felt safe, especially when she was a single mom. She studied for her license anyway, telling herself that one day she'd make the leap to being a full-time broker.That leap came in 2018, pushed in part by her husband. By then they were married, and he kept repeating the same line: you're good at this, you know more than most agents, you should just do it. He promised to cover the gap while she got off the salary treadmill. Amal admits she was scared. Her first full year in real estate, she closed only four or five deals. But she stayed in, leaned on her paralegal skill set, and let time and relationships do their work.From the start, Amal refused to pretend she was for everyone. Some clients don't match her style or values, and she's learned not to chase them. She reminds herself that real estate is a service business, and that her client's goals have to sit above her commission. That's why she has told buyers to walk away from deals after bad inspections or red flags with associations. “They're going to remember that you looked out for them,” she says, and they'll tell their friends and family who actually did the protecting.This client-first stance shapes how she grows. Instead of cold scripts and hard closes, Amal built around people who already trusted her: family, friends, her local community, and the network she gained from years inside law offices. Her legal background lets her explain the process at a different level, and her calm during the messy parts of a deal turns into five-star Google reviews and quiet referrals. Over time, that turned her business into a mostly referral-based practice and helped her earn top producer status and a Rising Star Award from the Chicago Association of Realtors in 2020.Social media came later and did not come easy. Amal didn't like being on camera. She hated the sound of her own voice and spent hours recording and deleting videos. Her husband pushed again, calling social media a free tool and “the new wave” where people search for everything. At first she did the standard “just closed” posts. They showed that she was busy, but felt boring even to her. The shift happened when she stopped chasing perfect lighting and started sharing real life.One early reel tells the story. Her teenage son insisted she was a boomer. Amal, born in 1985, tried to explain that she's an elder millennial, not part of her parents' generation. He didn't buy it. She ranted on Instagram about...

Episode Overview In Part 4 of the Power Hour Series, John Kitchens and Joel Perso deep-dive into one of the most pivotal milestones of the entire framework—the Profit Engine. If Milestone 1 gave you clarity, Milestone 2 charted your course, and Milestone 3 upgraded your thinking… this is where you finally start architecting the business machine that will free you from the transaction treadmill. John and Joel break down how to build a team-driven, financially sound, scalable real estate business that no longer depends on your personal production. They unpack the four foundational pillars of the Profit Engine—Economic Model, Value Promise, Lead Magnets, and Delivery Model—and show you how each piece fits into the bigger Agent to CEO flywheel. This episode is pure gold for agents, team leaders, and entrepreneurs who want predictable growth, stronger margins, and a business model that actually produces freedom—not burnout. Key Topics Covered 1. The Profit Engine Explained Why this milestone determines whether you grow into a true CEO—or stay stuck as an average frustrated agent (AFA). Why stepping out of production requires a profitable and predictable model—not hope, not hustle. How to think like an architect designing a machine, not a salesperson chasing the next deal. 2. The Economic Model: "Math Must Math" How to design a business that remains profitable as you remove yourself from production. The truth about margins—and why most teams fail because they don't understand cost of sales. Why top-line revenue is vanity, but profit is sanity. Target margins, compensation philosophy, and how to avoid the trap of 75/25 agent splits. Why most agents never escape production because their economic model makes it mathematically impossible. Books mentioned: Simple Numbers, Straight Talk, Big Profits (Greg Crabtree) Profit First (Mike Michalowicz) Psychology of Money (Morgan Housel) 3. The Promise: Your Value Proposition to the Market "Businesses compete on promise… and survive on the promises they keep." How to define the ONE major pain your ideal client has—and the solution only you provide. Why your value proposition must work for two audiences: Buyers & Sellers Agents How to craft your "Only We…" statement that separates you from every other agent with a business card. 4. The Magnet: Creating Consistent Lead Flow Why picking ONE channel first prevents "half-built bridges." How to build hooks, stories, and offers that attract your ideal client. Why missing CTAs are the #1 reason agents' marketing fails. The metrics you MUST track to know if marketing works (and what to ignore). 5. The Delivery Model: The Promise Kept How to map the 5–7 step client journey that delivers a world-class experience. The secret to scaling: roles, handoffs, and accountability. Why every stage needs a commitment and a deliverable. How your service model drives advocacy, referrals, and repeat business. 6. The Agent to CEO Flywheel Why every milestone fuels the next—and why momentum is everything. Why losing momentum is 10x harder to rebuild than it is to maintain. The leadership principles needed to avoid complacency as you scale. Books mentioned: The Need to Lead by Dave Berke.

The Profit Engine is the blueprint for predictable, scalable, team-driven revenue—so you can step out of production without your business falling apart. As John says: "Words talk. Numbers scream.

There's a crackdown on money laundering via real estate transactions. FinCEN (Financial Crimes Enforcement Network) is making new reporting requirements that affect real estate investors across the country, including here in Indianapolis and all of Indiana.FinCEN intention is to prevent illicit actors from using legal entities and trusts to anonymously launder illicit funds thru the US residential real estatemarket. Their goal is to identify individuals involved in the “entities”, by requiring industry reporting of very specific information for members, managers, trustees, etc. of the entity.The scope of the rule for reportable real estate transactions are as follows: 1. Property Type: Residential Real property2. Financing: non-financed (cash or private non-licensedlender)3. Transferee: Buyer is a legal entity or trust4. No exemption applies: not a result of transfer due todeath or divorceThere is no dollar amount threshold. All sales of Residential Real Property are reportable. This basically affects almost everyone in real estate to at least a certain degree.Brett Snodgrass talks to James Schultz of Momentum Title Agency about what this means in practical terms for everyone investing in real estate in Indianapolis and really all of Indiana.James Schultz is the Chairman of Government Affairs Committee for Indiana Land Title Association. James has spent a lot of time in Washington DC as this is a federal issue as well as state and local issue.James has spent many hours talking with attorney generals, state senators, state representatives and so many other officials and professionals that are weighing in on what legislation, regulations and practice changes will look like in the coming days.Many of these lawmakers and government regulators don't really understand what it's like to be an investor, nor do they understand how real estate investors, including wholesalers, positively impact the community.Investors help communities when they have good motives and practices. But there are also bad actors out there who give wholesalers, realtors and investors a bad image.This is such an important conversation to listen to. If you want to know what rule changes and new and developing regulations are and how they will impact your real estate business, then listen to this episode.JAMES SCHULTZ - MOMENTUM TITLE AGENCY: https://momentumclosings.com/teams/location/?company=6&location=Indy%20Main
