Phil Tarrant and Tom Panos discuss the hard-hitting topics relevant to real estate that others might shy away from. Now the 2022 election has been decided, Tom and Phil drill down on the likely impact of an Albanese-led Labor government on agents, and encourage the industry to focus on the future now that the new government is taking shape. The duo also discuss the importance of community networks and local ties for agents in the areas in which they operate. They posit the question of whether a top-selling agent could mimic their high-performing results if they were to parachute into a new area. How much of success is skill, and how much is social connection? It's a complex topic the pair plan to return to in coming episodes.
