You can feel it when the market changes: auctions soften, buyers hesitate, and suddenly the “easy” listing strategies stop working. So we tried something different. Blake Stretton jumps into the host seat and puts Lee on the spot about what really separates the top 1% in Australian real estate sales, especially when conditions tighten, and every conversation matters.

We dig into the underrated superpower of elite agents: focus. Not just what they do, but what they refuse to do. We talk prospecting discipline, getting match fit on the phone, and why the best operators keep tech simple while mastering words, connection, and presence. From there, we move into market correction strategy, including fee defence, higher service standards, and the transparency buyers now expect if they’re going to feel safe enough to act.

Vendor management takes centre stage, with practical dialogue and frameworks you can take straight into your next listing presentation. We unpack the shift from the likeable agent to the advising agent, how to use duty-of-care language, why progress meetings should be pre-booked, and the “three prices” technique that keeps pricing conversations factual and calm. We also tackle AI in real estate: where it saves time, where it becomes a distraction, and why the winners will be the agents who balance tech and technique.

If you want stronger scripts, cleaner structure, and better client communication for the months ahead, hit play. Subscribe, share this with a mate in the industry, and leave us a review with the one technique you’re going to try this week.

The vibe on the ground has shifted, and you can feel it at the auction. Buyers are showing up with more caution, sellers are clinging to yesterday’s numbers, and agents are getting squeezed in the middle. I’m joined by auctioneer Justin Nicholson, fresh off a run of auctions, to share what’s actually happening right now, and what to do about it before you miss the market.

We get practical fast: how to open the listing conversation with integrity, how to uncover a seller’s real motivation, and why “testing the market” is a dangerous plan when buyers can smell uncertainty. Justin and I break down a proactive vendor management approach that keeps pricing realistic without burning trust, including a simple weekly structure around three numbers: buyer engagement, the seller’s expectation, and our honest view of where it will sell today.

We also dig into campaign communication that creates certainty: pre-booked progress meetings, a tight reporting cadence, and quick executive summary voice notes so no one can say “I didn’t know”. On the auction side, we explain the snapshot intel an auctioneer needs to build a strategy and why a neutral, fee-for-service voice can help vendors make clearer decisions. The thread that ties it together is courage: making the hard call early, speaking plainly, and leading with empathy while still protecting the outcome.

We walk through a commercial real estate turnaround where a long-term tenant vacates on bad terms and leaves a stripped, income-free shell that looks destined for a low sale. We share how a leasing-first strategy secures a national tenant, upgrades the asset, and drives a $1.625m auction result that changes the owner’s outcome.  
• Market rent assessment and good-faith lease offer  
• Negotiation breakdown and end-of-lease vacancy risk  
• Illegal fit-out removal and the real cost of make-good failures  
• Building a leasing strategy for a stripped fast food site  
• Using agent networks to reach national and international operators  
• Long-cycle negotiations with large corporate tenants  
• 10-year Pizza Hut lease and rapid refit to compliance standards  
• Auction campaign mechanics, enquiry volume, bidder depth and cap rate outcome  
• Why an agent’s role is advice that protects capital value

You can feel the difference between an agent who’s chasing attention and an agent who’s building trust. That’s why we wanted Jordan Bulmer on the show: he’s sharp on marketing, relentless on service, and honest about the work it takes to win in real estate without becoming the stereotype people expect. 

Jordan takes us back to the moment when he almost didn’t enter the industry at all, then walks us through how he earned his place on a high-performance team by doing the unglamorous jobs, learning fast, and putting the customer experience ahead of quick wins. We dig into why there are multiple listers in one team, how roles shift when volume grows, and what leadership looks like when it’s fair, clear, and genuinely invested in people. If you’re thinking about team-based real estate, this is a practical look at what actually makes it work. 

We also unpack the mechanics behind standout results: properly presenting a property, running a campaign that creates real competition, and negotiating with conviction. Jordan explains his “Purple Cow” approach to property marketing, the idea that nothing leaves the business unless it will stop someone in their tracks, and why being different only works when it’s authentic. One of the most memorable stories is him calling a client to admit he may have overpriced, because protecting trust matters more than protecting ego. 

If you care about listing presentation, real estate marketing, negotiation, leadership, and building market share on the Central Coast NSW and beyond, you’ll get plenty to take back into your next campaign.

Becoming a top-performing real estate agent isn’t always about perfect structure or living inside a spreadsheet. We’re joined by Carly Frost from Harris Real Estate in South Australia, who shares how she surprises herself by taking out number one for the quarter in a high-calibre business, while still working in a way that suits her personality. We talk honestly about results, energy, and why “knowing your groove” can be more powerful than copying someone else’s routine. 

Carly walks us through the Harris acquisition journey and the changes that come when you move from a small, family-style office to a more systemised, high-performance environment. We dig into the real-world mechanics of her pipeline: how many listings she targets, how her team uses co-agents, what a healthy weekly appraisal count looks like, and why too many appointments can quietly cost you conversions. If you’ve ever felt busy but not in control, this conversation gives you practical guardrails. 

We also get specific on lead generation and market share on the Fleurieu Peninsula and the Wine Coast corridor. Carly explains how service area letterbox drops, repeat business, and referrals stack together when you exceed expectations, run strong opens, and communicate daily with vendors. She shares how she keeps sellers informed, how midweek opens change the signal you send, and what she wants to improve next, around time protection and staying connected to past clients. 

If you want more grounded insights on real estate sales, listing presentations, vendor management, prospecting, and building a referral-driven business, hit play. Subscribe, share the episode with an agent mate, and leave a review. Then tell us: which habit would lift your results the fastest?
