    PMX: Why smart property managers are partnering with brokers (and winning more clients)

    Most investors treat finance and property management as separate conversations, but that disconnect could be costing them growth, cash flow and long-term strategy. In the latest episode of the PMX Podcast, Managed co-founder Alex Whitlock sits down with Finni Mortgages principal Eva Loisance to unpack one of the most overlooked dynamics in property investing: the powerful yet underutilised relationship between mortgage brokers and property managers. From shaping purchasing decisions before a deal is even signed to optimising portfolio performance long after settlement, Whitlock reveals why his mortgage broker has been a constant strategic partner throughout his 30-year investment journey. Loisance pulls back the curtain on the growing challenges investors face in today's market and why brokers are no longer just loan facilitators, but critical advisers on yield, cash flow and long-term portfolio strategy. The conversation dives into a major missed opportunity across the industry: property managers and brokers rarely collaborate despite being perfectly positioned to deliver a more holistic service. From lease renewals triggering portfolio reviews to untapped referral partnerships, the episode explores how better alignment could unlock stronger results for investors and new revenue streams for professionals.

    Property Buzz: Is Australia pushing property investors too far? Experts warn of fallout

    From investor confidence erosion to a class war between landlords and tenants, Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman break down all the news coming out of Australia's property market. In this episode of Property Buzz, Tarrant and Garman examine the forces reshaping the market – from investor fatigue in Victoria to the broader economic risks tied to housing affordability. The pair highlight growing concern among investors, particularly in Victoria, where tightening compliance and policy settings are dampening confidence. Tarrant pushes back against what he sees as a "class war" narrative between tenants and landlords, arguing the two are fundamentally linked and that this framing risks distorting policy decisions. The co-host also introduces the idea of a "property investment clock", arguing that cumulative changes – tax, compliance, and rising costs – are steadily eroding the viability of investing, saying that if conditions worsen, the market could face an investor exodus, reducing rental stock and intensifying Australia's housing shortage.

    Winning in the luxury property market: The strategies top agents use to dominate Australia's best listings

    What does it really take to win listings, earn trust, and outperform in Australia's most competitive property sector? In luxury real estate, average service gets exposed fast, and reputation is everything. On the REB Podcast, Nick Boyd, CEO of Belle Property, Hockingstuart, and Acton | Belle Property, shares the inside playbook for succeeding at the top end of the market, where elite clients demand discretion, flawless execution, and advisers who understand value beyond price. From creating unforgettable client experiences to marketing prestige homes in a crowded landscape, building high-performance sales cultures, and lifting standards across property management, Boyd reveals what separates premium operators from the pack. He also gets candid on why most agents fail chasing the luxury badge, how trust compounds faster than commission, and the future trends set to reshape Australia's high-end property market.

    PMX: From the AFL to 1,000 properties: How Tim Harris broke every rule in property management

    What happens when a former football hopeful stumbles into real estate and decides to ignore the industry rulebook? You get one of Melbourne's fastest-growing property management success stories. On The Property Management Excellence (PMX) Podcast, H & B Real Estate director Tim Harris shares the unfiltered story behind one of Melbourne's most remarkable rent roll growth journeys, scaling from 120 properties to nearly 1,000 in just a few years through acquisitions and a refusal to treat property management as secondary to sales. From stumbling into real estate after sport, to finding the right business partner, navigating his first white-knuckle acquisition, and building a team culture that puts people before profit, Harris shares the explosive journey. He also gets candid about what investors actually want, why pipe dreams kill client relationships, and what it really takes to scale a next-gen agency in one of Australia's most competitive markets.

    Property Buzz: Tax grabs, rogue agents, and TikTok misinformation: The threats facing every Australian property investor right nowTax grabs, rogue agents, and TikTok misinformation: The threats facing every Australian property investor right now

    Capital gains discounts and negative gearing under attack. Trust account theft from dodgy agents off the charts. TikTok stars attacking property investors. Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman break it all down and share critical data on how investors can continue to grow their portfolios. On this week's Property Buzz live, Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman cut through the noise on what's making headlines in property: tax reform, dodgy agents, boom suburbs, and common financial misinformation. The federal budget is looming, and with it the very real prospect of the capital gains tax discount dropping from 50 per cent to 33 per cent and negative gearing being capped at two properties. Phil and Liam unpack what that means for investors, and why the full picture is still far from clear. They also dig into the FAST 50 report, highlighting why investors across Australia are tipping regional Victoria and Queensland as boom locations, before turning to the industry's darker side: trust account fraud, agent misconduct, and the quiet danger of incentive kicker schemes that leave vendors thousands of dollars worse off. Finally, the pair take aim at a viral TikTok video claiming corporate investors are deliberately engineering Australia's housing crisis, and deliver a timely reminder that in the age of financial influencers, separating fact from noise isn't optional. It's essential.

    How a culture-first approach built Victoria's top real estate network

    What does it actually take to lead a major real estate network in one of Australia's most dynamic markets? Award-winning offices. A focus on people over process. And a CEO who believes trust and transparency aren't optional. On the REB Podcast, Barry Plant CEO Lisa Pennell joins deputy editor Emilie Lauer to share the story behind REB's back-to-back Major Network of the Year. Pennell reflects on the dedication and collaboration that underpin the network's success, revealing how a culture of shared achievement and ethical leadership drives both growth and resilience. She also outlines Barry Plant's strategic approach to navigating upcoming anti-money laundering (AML) compliance, rising living costs, and a rapidly evolving Victorian property market. From fostering trust in an industry where it's often in short supply to making technology work for people rather than replace them, Pennell explains how Barry Plant balances innovation with human values. She offers insights on regulatory shifts, building sustainable growth, and why a strong moral compass is the foundation of real estate leadership.

    Property Buzz: Buyer's agents in trouble, economic pressure, and a looming property supply crunch: The experts speak

    Fuel costs rising, the economy wobbling, buyer's agents under scrutiny, and negative gearing sparking debate. There's a lot shaking the market. In the latest episode of Property Buzz, Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman dive into the issues shaping Australia's property market right now, from dodgy financial advice to a teetering building industry. They examine the growing scrutiny on buyer's agents, highlighting cases where unqualified advice crosses into financial guidance. Phil and Liam stress that proper expertise isn't optional, it's increasingly under the regulator's microscope. The discussion also turns to housing supply, sparked by comments from Jim Penman suggesting negative gearing should be scrapped to encourage more builds. Phil and Liam argue that cutting investor incentives while construction is slowing could worsen affordability rather than improve it.

    Bombs, oil, and interest rates: What the war in Iran means for the real estate industry

    Most Australians think the Middle East conflict is someone else's problem. They're wrong. In this special crossover episode of the REB Podcast, Phil Tarrant, Major General (Ret'd) Dr Marcus Thompson, and real estate heavyweight Tom Panos ask the question nobody in property is talking about: what happens to Australian housing when the world catches fire? From fuel prices and inflation to construction costs, rents, and investor confidence, this is the most direct conversation yet about how a war thousands of kilometres away could hit your mortgage, your portfolio, and your suburb. They break down why resilience, cash buffers, and a long-term mindset matter more than ever, and how the current environment could actually create opportunity for those who stay disciplined. Don't look away. This one's closer to home than you think. Did you like this episode?
