Phil Tarrant and Tom Panos discuss the hard-hitting topics relevant to real estate that others might shy away from.

As Christmas draws ever closer, Tom and Phil sit down to consider "the year that was", before turning their attention to what's still to come in 2023.

Classifying the current real estate market as "strong" even with the recent softening seen Australia-wide, the pair consider the ramifications of a changing marketplace on the profession and allied industries.

The pair also unpack the very real risks associated with cyber security — or a lack thereof.   

Tom then finishes off the episode by offering up his own predictions for the new year and what the real estate profession can and should expect from 2023.
