In our second episode back, The Crunch chats with REIWA President Suzanne Brown about leadership, the industry’s image, and what’s next for WA real estate.

Suzanne shares how she went from being the youngest woman in WA to earn a real estate license, to representing the industry as REIWA President.

From shifting how agents and tenants are seen, to what’s ahead for the property market in general and what Suzanne sees as some of our biggest challenges and opportunities, this episode is full of real, practical insights for anyone working in WA real estate.

Jess and Shane kick off the new season with a quick catch-up and a look at how much the market has changed since we last recorded. Shane gives us the lowdown on where things are at right now — from East Coast investors shaking things up to why the hype around Perth’s property boom isn’t the full story.

Ronnie and Georgia of The Block fame join us for this episode of The Crunch. The newest REIWA Ambassadors talk us through the ins and outs of selecting a proeprty to renovate or develop and how they choose an agent to work with as well as the differences between the Perth market and the Eastern states.

Plus Shane gives us a rundown on the latest market stats - things are looking up!

This week Jess is back hosting solo and welcomes Chris Jones from Davey Real Estate into the studio. Chris lives and sells in Duncraig and they discuss the benefits of working with your neighbours. 

Chris also chats about why he took a risk to change careers and become a real estate agent with a 1-year-old at home and how the skills from his past career helped him succeed. And they discuss how the current market conditions and managing huge numbers of buyers at a home open can be positive and negative.

In this episode David James is back as co-host and we welcome Dave Murray from Realmark Urban to the studio to let us in on his secrets to his successful first years in real estate and how his apprenticeship under one of Perth's best agents set him up and gave him the confidence to go out on his own

Dave discusses how like attracts like, why hard work always prevails and the difficulties of staying the course in real estate. 

We were pretty impressed with Dave (who's only 25) and we think you will be too!

This week Team Trolio from The Agency join us on The Crunch. 

Craig, Luke & dad Nick have been working together for 20 years predominantly servicing the suburbs surrounding Hamilton Hill. 

The team talk to us about why they are still getting multiple offers on properties, despite mounting interest rate rises, how they split work between the three of them and why they chose to join The Agency after many years with another franchise. 

This week on The Crunch we get into the nitty-gritty of the Government's proposed changes to the REsidneital Tenancy Act.

Who do the changes benefit?

What should agents, property managers, landlords and tenants be looking out for?

Is it all too little too late or is there some unnecessary overreach?

Shane and Kirstin have thoughts and we want to hear them.
