I absolutely love independent agencies as well as effectively run franchise groups that add value to their franchise partners. Ray White are certainly one of these groups & also the largest real estate franchise Network in Australia with over 1000 offices, in 11 countries with over 12,000 agents. 

Haesley Cush is a Ray White success story & also the best example in my experience of ‘Good guys NOT finishing last, but first’. He is one of the most genuine humans you will meet, as well as an outstanding real estate practitioner.

Haesley Cush is a licensed Real Estate Agent and Auctioneer. Over the last 20 years Haesley has sat at the forefront of Brisbane real estate. He has been a multi award winning auctioneer, business owner and national trainer.

Haesley began his real estate career in March 1996, with Ray White Moorooka. Since this time Haesley has excelled in real estate sales and auctioneering, he is the only person to win the prestigious REIQ auctioneer of the year title every time he has entered. Winning in 2002, 2003 & 2008. Haesley is the only Queensland auctioneer to appear on the Australian television series 'The Block' and is currently ranked as one of the top auctioneers in Australasia.

Prior to taking ownership of Ray White New Farm, Haesley was the Chief Auctioneer for Ray White Queensland and also sat on the Queensland board for Ray White Queensland concentrating on market growth, training and franchising.

Currently specialising in the geographic specific area of Inner Brisbane, Haesley and the enthusiastic teams at New Farm & Spring Hill are enjoying tremendous success (ranked number 1 in Brisbane and 2 across Queensland). Haesley has been involved in excess of 10,000 sales, ranging from modest accommodation to some of Australia’s most premier real estate.

More recently Haesley and his business partner Matt Lancashire have joined forces to merge their businesses. Together they own Ray White New Farm, Living Here Cush Partners (New Farm & Teneriffe) and Ray White Spring Hill (with their partner Sam Mayes). 

Haesley is a columnist for The Sunday Mail & realestate.com.au as well as a property commentator with many other industry magazines. 

Haesley's organisation employs well over 70 people. The team manage and sell properties across all demographics and regions. They deal in modest accommodation through to absolute top end handling transactions for some of Australia's leading sports, music and media personalities. Currently Ray White New Farm holds the record for the cities highest sale price.

Energy and enthusiasm are two reasons for Haesley’s success, but experience and professionalism are the two major differences between him and his peers.

Tim McKibbon is an outstanding industry professional with specialist skills & qualifications in both Accounting & Law. As you will hear, Mr McKibbon has an admirable commitment in changing the real estate landscape for the benefit of the customer and the real estate industry.

This episode will both comfort and surprise you.

Comfort, in the sense that the REI stands by the customer first always, and also by you as a real estate professional.

Surprise, given the constant battles the REI encounter with the OFT.

Did you know that the OFT oversee 40 industries including Real Estate, and we fall under the same purview as hairdressers and tattoo parlous?

Adrian & Tim discuss the myths about 'under quoting' and what challenges arise in an unpredictably buoyant market.

Tim talks about the progress made so far to appoint a specialist Property Services Commissioner (PSC). It is obvious after listening to this episode that this is the only pathway forward. Both Adrian & Tim remind us that this is not a revolutionary concept, given a similar concept, in the form of a commission, was established in the late 90's for the real estate industry but axed, as well as the recent appointment of David Chandler OAM, as the NSW Building Commissioner.

You can do something about it! The Bill to establish a dedicated and experienced Industry “Commissioner for Property Services” has passed the Upper House of Parliament, and it just needs to get through the lower house and then off for royal consent. So please send the Bill to your local Member of Parliament requesting they strongly support it & embrace it. Here it is - Property Services Council Bill 2021.

 This is a must listen episode. Lets all link arms and do whats best for our buyers and sellers and the industry in general.
