    No Suits. No Pressure. Still Selling Millions | Richard Thode

    Richard Thode is proving you don’t need slick sales tactics or a sharp suit to dominate real estate. In just six years at Ray White Epsom, he’s built a reputation as one of the network’s top performers — by doing the opposite of what most agents do. In this episode of HomeRun, Richard breaks down why pushing buyers rarely works, how reading the room closes more deals than pressure ever could, and the systems he uses to turn buyers into future vendors. From reinventing stale listings to networking with some of New Zealand’s biggest business leaders on the golf course, this is a raw look at what it really takes to win in the modern property market.

    2025 Wrap Up!

    A year in review across New Zealand real estate, property development, architecture, and housing policy. In this end-of-season recap, we reflect on the biggest conversations, standout guests, and key lessons from 20+ interviews — from what makes a smart long-term property investment, to passive homes and healthy housing, to why planning, consents, and regulation remain major handbrakes across the system. We unpack the common themes that kept coming up all year: the importance of the right team, early advice, informed decision-making, and understanding the system before pressure hits. A look back at what we’ve learned, what surprised us, and where the conversation goes next.

    The Rise of Diego Traglia: Talent or Pure Hustle?

    You think NZ real estate agents are all suits and small talk? Think again. We sit down with Diego Traglia — the school-dropout turned Auckland’s #1 agent — and unpack all the raw truth they don’t want you to hear. 💥 👉 He started at Burger King. ✅ 👉 He washed cars in South Auckland. ✅ 👉 Now he’s selling houses like hotcakes, dominating the listings and rewriting the rules. ✅ In this episode of HomeRun, we ask the uncomfortable questions: Is real estate in NZ rigged for insiders? Are average sellers getting fleeced while “top agents” laugh all the way to the bank? Diego doesn’t hold back — and neither do we. Don’t tune in if you’re comfortable with status-quo. But if you want your eyes opened on what really goes on behind the “For Sale” sign — hit play. 🔊#HomeRunPodcast #DiegoTraglia #RealEstateExposed #NZProperty #NoFluff
