Cameron Renee's Real Estate Show on Mix one O six
point three be the Envy of Camera Live in de
Burg at Northborne Village by JW Land now selling well Cam.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Each week.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
We love doing the Mix one O six point three
real Estate Show on the radio from nine to ten
in the morning thanks to JW. Land, but we also
get to provide the podcast to anyone who wants to listen.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
This is where we get to relive it and analyze
all the conversations and everything. And look, we've had three
really good guests on Saturday, didn't we We did.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
We spoke to Justin Burke, one of the directors at
a new real estate brand called Momentum Property that launched
through the week, and she shared with us sort of
what their vision is and how that's all going.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
And we spoke about the fact that of course there's longstanding,
well known real estate brands that are here in camera,
but they're national as well, and it's really been the
last sort of five teen years or so that these
little boutique brands have popped up. And I'm not going
to say that they offer a more personal service, but
they offer just a different kind of service, don't they.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
And the Uber local you know that as well, So
it was great to learn about momentum. There was also
a big property event, property Congress in Perth through the
week and Ashley Bury from the local Property Council spoke
to us about her involvement there.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Ken she speaks so well and I've speak I've seen
her speak on a number of occasions and of course
this is very close to me as well, with you
speaking and showing people how to do it. She does
a great job. She was stoked because over there she
said that she had the opportunity to do a presentation
on stage, but she got to essentially sit down with
Australian cricket in Great Adam Gilchrist.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
For like a million hour and just sit there and
you know.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Shoot the breeze with him have a conversation.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
How good is that?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
So we've got to find out a little bit about
what they spoke about and what the event was like.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Yeah, and what the property angle was as well.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Yes, of course.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
And we spoke to one of our guests, our Kubra
wearing George Southwell from Ray White, who gave us a
bit of an update on what's happening across the border.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Yeah. Absolutely and still saying that while things are not
they're still sort of slowy ish set to pick up
in his opinion, but also the idea of people coming
in from outside of camera looking to buy a region,
looking to settle into these rural regions.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Yeah, and he's such a character, so we just love
talking to him about whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
But that was a good chat too.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
And it always is, all right, So that's what you
can expect on our podcast. Thank you so much for
listening to us if you have us on the radio
on Saturdays, but then retuning in if you like to
the podcast as well. Renee, thank you as well.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
All right, we get to it now thanks to JW
landa mixed one of six point three.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Well can we have a new real estate brand that's
entered the mix here in Canberra, which is always exciting
and when these pop up, we like to find out
a bit more about them, what they've got to offer
and what their point of difference is, like you said, yeah,
one hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
And look, I mean we've seen more and more of this,
especially over as say, the last five teen years of Yes,
we've known we've got the big established national brands that
have all had and have a presence here in camera
and do a great job of course. But it's these
boutique style brands that have popped up, as I said,
certainly over the last five years, and they all have
a point of difference to offer. They all want to
(03:07):
forge your own way as well. And so you're right,
and I was at the launch on Thursday night.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Of Momentum Property.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Now. Justin Burke is director and licensed agent at Momentum Justin.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
Good morning, Good morning Renee, good morning camp.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Now look, tell us about Momentum Property and your entry
into the market.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Yes, So, as you.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
Said, essentially we are a new brand, but we're built
of a team of familiar faces. So there's a round
fifty of us and obviously I'm a director there and
I work with my husband Tim and Nick Payne and
Anthony McCormack and we've been developing this brand for probably
over twelve months now and we've officially launched on the
first of October with our North and South South offices,
(03:51):
which is obviously very Canberra. You're a one side of
the bridge or the other, Yeah, very much so.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
And so as you've been to, this is not just
a one or two person team have assembled quite the
line up of experts, So what's the list of services
that you're offering and something maybe that's a little bit
different as well.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
So I guess for us, we've obviously started this new brand,
but we want to focus on what we excel at
and us delivering fantastic results for our clients in the
sales and rental spaces. So at this stage we're not
looking to change that.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
We don't want.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
To spread ourselves too thin and go into markets that
we're not overly experienced in. We know what we are
really good at delivering and what our focus should be,
and that will continue to be sales and rentals.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Can I ask about the name and how you guys
came up with that, Yes.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
So obviously that's a huge part of it and probably
one of the most exciting things because then it's sort
of you develop a bit of an attachment to us
and it feels.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Like it's real.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
So we worked with an amazing company in Sydney called
Fierce Ideas and spent quite a few days with them
developing the brand in terms of what we wanted it
to represent, who we were, what we wanted to bring
to the market, and so after a lot of time
and amazing work on their part, they brought us a
list of names and this was one of them, and
(05:10):
it resonated with all four of us instantly, and it
just felt right. So it was a super exciting day
when we realized that this was our name.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
You launched on Thursday night. Thank you for the invitation
on the top floor of QT there as you were
sort of wandering around and having conversations and you know,
Tim spoke as well, How did that feel for you? Oh?
Speaker 5 (05:34):
It felt amazing.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
It was.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
It's one of those things that obviously we were super
passionate about what we were doing, and we were really
confident in the brand and why we were making this change,
but you just never know until you put it out
there how it's going to be received. And it's just been.
We have been absolutely blown away by the support we
have been given by our family, friends, clients, the suppliers
(05:57):
we work with, the people that refer to us, just
general people coming through our open homes that don't have
to say anything but have chosen to say that it's
amazing what we're doing and they love the new brand,
and it's just been I can't express how much it's
meant to us how well it's been received.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Yeah, that must be such awesome, you know, feedback for
you guys to get just from people who are out
and about.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Yeah, for sure, it is.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
It is and our team have been so so on
board with it as well, and that has meant more
than anything.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah for sure.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Well, people should definitely go to the website, Justine, where
can they go to learn a bit more?
Speaker 5 (06:32):
So, definitely visit our website Momentum Property dot Co. Jump

and always get in touch. It's you know, a lot
of the sum in your faces that you will have
seen in the real estate space there, So there's a
lot of them there and they're ready and willing to help.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Absolutely, Well, justin thank you so much for sharing that
with his congratulations and no doubt, Yeah, no doubt. We'll
speak to you guys, you know, moving forward as things happen.
But yeah, you guys doing great and we're glad we

Speaker 3 (07:08):
Justine Burke, Director and license agent at momentum property Now Cam,
the Property Council of Australia had a Property Congress in
Perth this week and you've been saying throughout the morning
that our next guest was on stage with Adam Gilchris.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Look, if I had been a bit better at my craft, yes,
I would have had the Channel nine cricket intro theme
ready to go. Oh okay, right, But again on the
account of us just sitting here chatting away about the
stuff that's got nothing to.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Do to do anything, we forget about all the things.
Oh we meant to talk on the radio. Now great anyway,
So we're going to find out why they were on
stage with Adam good Christen, what this event was about.
Ashley Berry joins US Property Council ACT and Capital Region
Executive Director Ashley good.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Morning, Good morning to you both.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Now, look, tell us about this event in Perth and
what it's set out to do.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Just before we get to Gilly.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
Yes, let's talk the business side of being for Fort Gilly.
So forty seventh annual Congress and it brings industry leaders
across the property sector all to the one place we
travel around Australia. So this year was in Perth and
there's a range of educational events, networking guest speakers, we
(08:23):
do site tours, master classes. It's really a couple of
days for the industry to get together, to learn, to
connect and to networkers.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
It's pretty fabulous, okay.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
And so what was the number one thing that came
out of the event for you? What sort of.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Popped so for me?
Speaker 7 (08:40):
And unfortunately it's not great, not great news, but it's
it's that the housing crisis is everywhere and so we're
all all experiencing it around the world, around the country
in very different forms. But a real focus on the
need for housing to be considered as critical infant structure
and not just not just another piece of property, but
(09:04):
it's critical.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
That was the biggest, biggest.
Speaker 7 (09:08):
Thing for me. And there were some lessons from other
jurisdictions about how we can do that with planning and
making things more sustainable. So it was it was great
from that perspective, but there's a big challenge ahead for
all of us.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Yeah, and I know there's a lot of conversation also
in around the fact and I believe this strongly. In
having somewhere to live, like having a house or whatever,
the structure is that you want to live in is
also a human right as well, and so did that
come up in conversation only.
Speaker 7 (09:39):
Only briefly one of your sport on though it absolutely
is a human human right in that sense you need
to have shelter. And if you remember back to Maslow's
hierarchy of needs, which certainly came up during the conference,
you know, shelter is one of those really crucial crucial things.
And we know that having a s and secure roof
(10:02):
over our head helps with health outcomes, it helps with
economic outcomes.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
So we were.
Speaker 7 (10:07):
Talking a bit about how can we get more homes
built more efficiently, more sustainably, you know, so that people
aren't grappling with can I afford to eat or can
I afford a roof over my head? So there's some
great people working on this, So that gives me hope.
We've got a challenge, but we've got some really smart
(10:28):
and passionate people across our industry working on it. So
that's something to be hopeful for.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Yeah, definitely, And so why were you on stage with
Anne Gilchris?
Speaker 7 (10:38):
So we get guest speakers who are normally local, local heroes,
whether they're sporting legends, or you know, other prominent Australians
and Gilly was on the Thursday afternoon to talk about resilience, leadership,
strategic decision making. And I am a massive cricket fan,
so when I knew he was when I knew he
(11:01):
was coming, I put my hand up and said, please,
I want to be the one to interview Gilly. So
I got fifty minutes minutes on stage with Gilly. Oh,
and honestly, he was amazing. He spoke about warning about sledging,
about being booed when he first went out to play
(11:23):
for Western Australia over thirty years ago, and how he
came back from that, and he was just such a
genuinely lovely man to speak with. So I'm still pinching myself.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
I've had a number of actions with Adam over the
years as well, and I concur with you like he
is just an incredible quality human. Tell Us, was there
anything that it surprised you about the conversation or was
there what was the key moment? What was the bit
that other than the whole fifty minutes, What was a
bit that you just sat there going, oh my god,
I can't believe I'm doing this.
Speaker 7 (11:56):
He was talking about his favorite innings and so all
the cricket buss you know, we will go straight to
one of the Ashes series, probably about twenty years ago,
when he scored the fastest hundred, But that wasn't it
wasn't his favorite.
Speaker 8 (12:13):
His favorite was a.
Speaker 7 (12:15):
Forty nine at some point in India or a few
years earlier he was captaining. He said it was a
nothing innings but the importance for him of getting a
few runs that day, of leading by example, of you know,
setting his team up for success, that was his favorite innings.
And I just sat back and went, you really are
(12:35):
just one of those blokes who genuinely lifts everyone else
up and you know, make makes the Australian cricket team,
but makes the world to some extent a better place.
So it was, it was amazing. I just sat back
and went, I'll just you know, how long can we
have Can we extend this for a little bit more?
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Yeah, Renee, let's just ditch the property the show this morning.
I'm happy sitting here talking about Gillian.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Yeah, oh well, so good that you put your hand
up to do that and got to do that, like
you'll never forget that.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
So that's still pinching myself.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Yep, I bet we'll good on you and I bet
you were fantastic as well.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Ashley, thank you so much for your time this morning.
Speaker 7 (13:15):
Thanks both great chat.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Cheers.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Thank you Ashley Bury from the Act Property Council. There,
Cam Well, Cam, you and I often every week get
to talk about what's happening property wise in Canberra. We
get to talk about some stunning properties that are for
sale here, but every now and then we like to
check in what's happening across the border, you know, and yes,
my ombatement, all those sorts of areas that are within
our region.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
And can I just say which is where we're going
in a moment, But the property of the Weakness on
the other side, yes, down Royal.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Away, Yes, I can't wait to talk about that. But
in the meantime we're going to get a bit of
a rural real estate update from one of our favorite
acubra wearing guests, George Southwell, CEO Ray White Rural Canberra.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Yes. And Maria Bateman George, good morning, how are you?
Speaker 6 (13:59):
I'm very and Cam how are you?
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Yes, we are good. Thank you.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Now, look we haven't checked in with you in a
little bit, so We just want to find out what's
going on in the property market in Yas and the
rural region.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
How's it been going.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
It's going well. I've still got a heartbeat, but the
heartbeat of this little market is starting to tick a
little bit faster. We've seen a little bit of a
slow kickoff to the spring selling season. There's lots of
stocket in the market in the next two weeks and
they were sort of ripping in and enjoying the change
of season.
Speaker 8 (14:28):
It's beautiful.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Yeah, And so is there any one consistent thing that
people are looking for when they're sort of speaking to
you about potential properties in the area.
Speaker 6 (14:37):
Yeah, they want value. Cam It's a really really simple equation.
At the moment, the confidence in the market, you know,
is a little bit subdued. There's no beating around the
bush there, and so generally people are looking for a
value proposition. And when we get out into the regions
and you know, into the townships of Yas and mar
and Bapen, there are some magnificent properties that represent really
(14:57):
good value with a bit of space and a bit
of freedom, and that's what people are chasing.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Yeah, So that's exactly what I was going to ask,
So what does that sort of value represent? What are
people looking for when they roll up to the front gate.
Speaker 6 (15:09):
Twenty five thirty year old home might need a renovation,
but very comfortable to live in, something you can add
your own touch on from an esthe's point of view
out in the yard and in the paddocks, and then
also beyond that, something that you might be able to
commercially do something with, you know, run a small herd
of Scottish Highland cattle and eat by a month, or
(15:30):
a couple of sheep and share. All those sorts of
economic things coming into the commercial operation is happening on
a smaller scale, which is quite interesting tonight.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Yeah for sure.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
And George, do you continue to see people coming in
from outside the region?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Yeah, yeah, we do.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
We're getting about sitting at about forty five percent now
of our inquiries are coming out of Sydney market. We're
only getting sub fifteen percent coming out of a camera market,
which is interesting.
Speaker 8 (15:59):
Out in to the as Tuhi and beyond. But generally speaking,
you know, with the way we're marketing property and who's
the free plug, we are getting buyers from outside the
local area, which is very important to achieve premiums for ourselves.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
And so when the people come in from say Signal
wherever it is, what are some of the things that
they're saying is they come into the region, they surprised
by how amazing it is they really are.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
And some of them act like genuinely they get freaked
out because they've walked down the street of Yass or
they've ducked into two before tenant Marra Baban and they've
had like fifteen people say a load to them and
say how's your morning?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Yeah, by people talking to me, this is.
Speaker 8 (16:38):
Weird ondred percent one hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Oh that's so nice. It's interesting, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Because like you literally can drive not very far and
then that whole mentality, that community mentality just comes out.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
It's really lovely.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
You can walk through some parts of camera and no
one will look at you in the eye.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Some people want to actively turn their head right.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Yet if you walk from the top part of Yas
shopping center and the main street take you forty five
minutes because you can stop and have a conversation with
every second person.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
That's it.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
I said that the other day I was ducking into
the supermarket to grab some stuff not dressed very appropriately
on Sunday evening. Well, it turned into a forty five
minute you know, appraise or seeking exercise that was not
very appealing, I can assure you.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Yeah, it always happens. You get stuck when you go
out not in your suited up in all your nice gears.
Speaker 8 (17:31):
No, especially as a D grade celebrity.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
And and just quickly, George, is there a particular property
you'd like to give a little plug too?
Speaker 6 (17:40):
Come on, is there, oh, Reno, that's a setup, isn't it.
Of course there is. It's a beautiful property over one
hundred acres overlooking imagine this camera and a you are
overlooking Burron Juck Dam and the Murmbidie River and you
can drive down there and swim and camp and fish
(18:02):
and all the rest of it. But you've got a
beautiful twenty five year old AV Jennings home to enjoy
as well, tucked into the valley. So yeah, we better
get out this weekend and have a look at that one.
When you're driving in there, it's like driving in along
the lake.
Speaker 8 (18:15):
That could be in Scotland.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Yeah, yeah, nice, all right, George.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Well, it's always a pleasure to catch up with you
as always, and we'll check in again soon.
Speaker 6 (18:24):
Yeah, thank you very much. You have a good day.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
That's our George Southwell, CEO at ray White Rural Camber, Yes,
and Maurin Bateman there, kemp Well.
Speaker 4 (18:31):

Speaker 4 (00:21):
This is where we get to relive it and analyze
all the conversations and everything. And look, we've had three
really good guests on Saturday, didn't we We did.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
We spoke to Justin Burke, one of the directors at
a new real estate brand called Momentum Property that launched
through the week, and she shared with us sort of
what their vision is and how that's all going.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
And we spoke about the fact that of course there's longstanding,
well known real estate brands that are here in camera,
but they're national as well, and it's really been the
last sort of five teen years or so that these
little boutique brands have popped up. And I'm not going
to say that they offer a more personal service, but
they offer just a different kind of service, don't they.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
And the Uber local you know that as well, So
it was great to learn about momentum. There was also
a big property event, property Congress in Perth through the
week and Ashley Bury from the local Property Council spoke
to us about her involvement there.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Ken she speaks so well and I've speak I've seen
her speak on a number of occasions and of course
this is very close to me as well, with you
speaking and showing people how to do it. She does
a great job. She was stoked because over there she
said that she had the opportunity to do a presentation
on stage, but she got to essentially sit down with
Australian cricket in Great Adam Gilchrist.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
For like a million hour and just sit there and
you know.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Shoot the breeze with him have a conversation.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
How good is that?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
So we've got to find out a little bit about
what they spoke about and what the event was like.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Yeah, and what the property angle was as well.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Yes, of course.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
And we spoke to one of our guests, our Kubra
wearing George Southwell from Ray White, who gave us a
bit of an update on what's happening across the border.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Yeah. Absolutely and still saying that while things are not
they're still sort of slowy ish set to pick up
in his opinion, but also the idea of people coming
in from outside of camera looking to buy a region,
looking to settle into these rural regions.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Yeah, and he's such a character, so we just love
talking to him about whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
But that was a good chat too.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
And it always is, all right, So that's what you
can expect on our podcast. Thank you so much for
listening to us if you have us on the radio
on Saturdays, but then retuning in if you like to
the podcast as well. Renee, thank you as well.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
All right, we get to it now thanks to JW
landa mixed one of six point three.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Well can we have a new real estate brand that's
entered the mix here in Canberra, which is always exciting
and when these pop up, we like to find out
a bit more about them, what they've got to offer
and what their point of difference is, like you said, yeah,
one hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
And look, I mean we've seen more and more of this,
especially over as say, the last five teen years of Yes,
we've known we've got the big established national brands that
have all had and have a presence here in camera
and do a great job of course. But it's these
boutique style brands that have popped up, as I said,
certainly over the last five years, and they all have
a point of difference to offer. They all want to
(03:07):
forge your own way as well. And so you're right,
and I was at the launch on Thursday night.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Of Momentum Property.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Now. Justin Burke is director and licensed agent at Momentum Justin.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
Good morning, Good morning Renee, good morning camp.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Now look, tell us about Momentum Property and your entry
into the market.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Yes, So, as you.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
Said, essentially we are a new brand, but we're built
of a team of familiar faces. So there's a round
fifty of us and obviously I'm a director there and
I work with my husband Tim and Nick Payne and
Anthony McCormack and we've been developing this brand for probably
over twelve months now and we've officially launched on the
first of October with our North and South South offices,
(03:51):
which is obviously very Canberra. You're a one side of
the bridge or the other, Yeah, very much so.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
And so as you've been to, this is not just
a one or two person team have assembled quite the
line up of experts, So what's the list of services
that you're offering and something maybe that's a little bit
different as well.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
So I guess for us, we've obviously started this new brand,
but we want to focus on what we excel at
and us delivering fantastic results for our clients in the
sales and rental spaces. So at this stage we're not
looking to change that.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
We don't want.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
To spread ourselves too thin and go into markets that
we're not overly experienced in. We know what we are
really good at delivering and what our focus should be,
and that will continue to be sales and rentals.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Can I ask about the name and how you guys
came up with that, Yes.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
So obviously that's a huge part of it and probably
one of the most exciting things because then it's sort
of you develop a bit of an attachment to us
and it feels.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Like it's real.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
So we worked with an amazing company in Sydney called
Fierce Ideas and spent quite a few days with them
developing the brand in terms of what we wanted it
to represent, who we were, what we wanted to bring
to the market, and so after a lot of time
and amazing work on their part, they brought us a
list of names and this was one of them, and
(05:10):
it resonated with all four of us instantly, and it
just felt right. So it was a super exciting day
when we realized that this was our name.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
You launched on Thursday night. Thank you for the invitation
on the top floor of QT there as you were
sort of wandering around and having conversations and you know,
Tim spoke as well, How did that feel for you? Oh?
Speaker 5 (05:34):
It felt amazing.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
It was.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
It's one of those things that obviously we were super
passionate about what we were doing, and we were really
confident in the brand and why we were making this change,
but you just never know until you put it out
there how it's going to be received. And it's just been.
We have been absolutely blown away by the support we
have been given by our family, friends, clients, the suppliers
(05:57):
we work with, the people that refer to us, just
general people coming through our open homes that don't have
to say anything but have chosen to say that it's
amazing what we're doing and they love the new brand,
and it's just been I can't express how much it's
meant to us how well it's been received.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Yeah, that must be such awesome, you know, feedback for
you guys to get just from people who are out
and about.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Yeah, for sure, it is.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
It is and our team have been so so on
board with it as well, and that has meant more
than anything.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah for sure.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Well, people should definitely go to the website, Justine, where
can they go to learn a bit more?
Speaker 5 (06:32):

Speaker 3 (07:08):
Justine Burke, Director and license agent at momentum property Now Cam,
the Property Council of Australia had a Property Congress in
Perth this week and you've been saying throughout the morning
that our next guest was on stage with Adam Gilchris.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Look, if I had been a bit better at my craft, yes,
I would have had the Channel nine cricket intro theme
ready to go. Oh okay, right, But again on the
account of us just sitting here chatting away about the
stuff that's got nothing to.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Do to do anything, we forget about all the things.
Oh we meant to talk on the radio. Now great anyway,
So we're going to find out why they were on
stage with Adam good Christen, what this event was about.
Ashley Berry joins US Property Council ACT and Capital Region
Executive Director Ashley good.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Morning, Good morning to you both.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Now, look, tell us about this event in Perth and
what it's set out to do.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Just before we get to Gilly.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
Yes, let's talk the business side of being for Fort Gilly.
So forty seventh annual Congress and it brings industry leaders
across the property sector all to the one place we
travel around Australia. So this year was in Perth and
there's a range of educational events, networking guest speakers, we
(08:23):
do site tours, master classes. It's really a couple of
days for the industry to get together, to learn, to
connect and to networkers.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
It's pretty fabulous, okay.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
And so what was the number one thing that came
out of the event for you? What sort of.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Popped so for me?
Speaker 7 (08:40):
And unfortunately it's not great, not great news, but it's
it's that the housing crisis is everywhere and so we're
all all experiencing it around the world, around the country
in very different forms. But a real focus on the
need for housing to be considered as critical infant structure
and not just not just another piece of property, but
(09:04):
it's critical.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
That was the biggest, biggest.
Speaker 7 (09:08):
Thing for me. And there were some lessons from other
jurisdictions about how we can do that with planning and
making things more sustainable. So it was it was great
from that perspective, but there's a big challenge ahead for
all of us.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Yeah, and I know there's a lot of conversation also
in around the fact and I believe this strongly. In
having somewhere to live, like having a house or whatever,
the structure is that you want to live in is
also a human right as well, and so did that
come up in conversation only.
Speaker 7 (09:39):
Only briefly one of your sport on though it absolutely
is a human human right in that sense you need
to have shelter. And if you remember back to Maslow's
hierarchy of needs, which certainly came up during the conference,
you know, shelter is one of those really crucial crucial things.
And we know that having a s and secure roof
(10:02):
over our head helps with health outcomes, it helps with
economic outcomes.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
So we were.
Speaker 7 (10:07):
Talking a bit about how can we get more homes
built more efficiently, more sustainably, you know, so that people
aren't grappling with can I afford to eat or can
I afford a roof over my head? So there's some
great people working on this, So that gives me hope.
We've got a challenge, but we've got some really smart
(10:28):
and passionate people across our industry working on it. So
that's something to be hopeful for.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Yeah, definitely, And so why were you on stage with
Anne Gilchris?
Speaker 7 (10:38):
So we get guest speakers who are normally local, local heroes,
whether they're sporting legends, or you know, other prominent Australians
and Gilly was on the Thursday afternoon to talk about resilience, leadership,
strategic decision making. And I am a massive cricket fan,
so when I knew he was when I knew he
(11:01):
was coming, I put my hand up and said, please,
I want to be the one to interview Gilly. So
I got fifty minutes minutes on stage with Gilly. Oh,
and honestly, he was amazing. He spoke about warning about sledging,
about being booed when he first went out to play
(11:23):
for Western Australia over thirty years ago, and how he
came back from that, and he was just such a
genuinely lovely man to speak with. So I'm still pinching myself.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
I've had a number of actions with Adam over the
years as well, and I concur with you like he
is just an incredible quality human. Tell Us, was there
anything that it surprised you about the conversation or was
there what was the key moment? What was the bit
that other than the whole fifty minutes, What was a
bit that you just sat there going, oh my god,
I can't believe I'm doing this.
Speaker 7 (11:56):
He was talking about his favorite innings and so all
the cricket buss you know, we will go straight to
one of the Ashes series, probably about twenty years ago,
when he scored the fastest hundred, But that wasn't it
wasn't his favorite.
Speaker 8 (12:13):
His favorite was a.
Speaker 7 (12:15):
Forty nine at some point in India or a few
years earlier he was captaining. He said it was a
nothing innings but the importance for him of getting a
few runs that day, of leading by example, of you know,
setting his team up for success, that was his favorite innings.
And I just sat back and went, you really are
(12:35):
just one of those blokes who genuinely lifts everyone else
up and you know, make makes the Australian cricket team,
but makes the world to some extent a better place.
So it was, it was amazing. I just sat back
and went, I'll just you know, how long can we
have Can we extend this for a little bit more?
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Yeah, Renee, let's just ditch the property the show this morning.
I'm happy sitting here talking about Gillian.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Yeah, oh well, so good that you put your hand
up to do that and got to do that, like
you'll never forget that.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
So that's still pinching myself.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Yep, I bet we'll good on you and I bet
you were fantastic as well.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Ashley, thank you so much for your time this morning.
Speaker 7 (13:15):
Thanks both great chat.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Cheers.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Thank you Ashley Bury from the Act Property Council. There,
Cam Well, Cam, you and I often every week get
to talk about what's happening property wise in Canberra. We
get to talk about some stunning properties that are for
sale here, but every now and then we like to
check in what's happening across the border, you know, and yes,
my ombatement, all those sorts of areas that are within
our region.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
And can I just say which is where we're going
in a moment, But the property of the Weakness on
the other side, yes, down Royal.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Away, Yes, I can't wait to talk about that. But
in the meantime we're going to get a bit of
a rural real estate update from one of our favorite
acubra wearing guests, George Southwell, CEO Ray White Rural Canberra.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Yes. And Maria Bateman George, good morning, how are you?
Speaker 6 (13:59):
I'm very and Cam how are you?
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Yes, we are good. Thank you.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Now, look we haven't checked in with you in a
little bit, so We just want to find out what's
going on in the property market in Yas and the
rural region.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
How's it been going.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
It's going well. I've still got a heartbeat, but the
heartbeat of this little market is starting to tick a
little bit faster. We've seen a little bit of a
slow kickoff to the spring selling season. There's lots of
stocket in the market in the next two weeks and
they were sort of ripping in and enjoying the change
of season.
Speaker 8 (14:28):
It's beautiful.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Yeah, And so is there any one consistent thing that
people are looking for when they're sort of speaking to
you about potential properties in the area.
Speaker 6 (14:37):
Yeah, they want value. Cam It's a really really simple equation.
At the moment, the confidence in the market, you know,
is a little bit subdued. There's no beating around the
bush there, and so generally people are looking for a
value proposition. And when we get out into the regions
and you know, into the townships of Yas and mar
and Bapen, there are some magnificent properties that represent really
(14:57):
good value with a bit of space and a bit
of freedom, and that's what people are chasing.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Yeah, So that's exactly what I was going to ask,
So what does that sort of value represent? What are
people looking for when they roll up to the front gate.
Speaker 6 (15:09):
Twenty five thirty year old home might need a renovation,
but very comfortable to live in, something you can add
your own touch on from an esthe's point of view
out in the yard and in the paddocks, and then
also beyond that, something that you might be able to
commercially do something with, you know, run a small herd
of Scottish Highland cattle and eat by a month, or
(15:30):
a couple of sheep and share. All those sorts of
economic things coming into the commercial operation is happening on
a smaller scale, which is quite interesting tonight.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Yeah for sure.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
And George, do you continue to see people coming in
from outside the region?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Yeah, yeah, we do.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
We're getting about sitting at about forty five percent now
of our inquiries are coming out of Sydney market. We're
only getting sub fifteen percent coming out of a camera market,
which is interesting.
Speaker 8 (15:59):
Out in to the as Tuhi and beyond. But generally speaking,
you know, with the way we're marketing property and who's
the free plug, we are getting buyers from outside the
local area, which is very important to achieve premiums for ourselves.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
And so when the people come in from say Signal
wherever it is, what are some of the things that
they're saying is they come into the region, they surprised
by how amazing it is they really are.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
And some of them act like genuinely they get freaked
out because they've walked down the street of Yass or
they've ducked into two before tenant Marra Baban and they've
had like fifteen people say a load to them and
say how's your morning?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Yeah, by people talking to me, this is.
Speaker 8 (16:38):
Weird ondred percent one hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Oh that's so nice. It's interesting, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Because like you literally can drive not very far and
then that whole mentality, that community mentality just comes out.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
It's really lovely.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
You can walk through some parts of camera and no
one will look at you in the eye.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Some people want to actively turn their head right.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Yet if you walk from the top part of Yas
shopping center and the main street take you forty five
minutes because you can stop and have a conversation with
every second person.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
That's it.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
I said that the other day I was ducking into
the supermarket to grab some stuff not dressed very appropriately
on Sunday evening. Well, it turned into a forty five
minute you know, appraise or seeking exercise that was not
very appealing, I can assure you.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Yeah, it always happens. You get stuck when you go
out not in your suited up in all your nice gears.
Speaker 8 (17:31):
No, especially as a D grade celebrity.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
And and just quickly, George, is there a particular property
you'd like to give a little plug too?
Speaker 6 (17:40):
Come on, is there, oh, Reno, that's a setup, isn't it.
Of course there is. It's a beautiful property over one
hundred acres overlooking imagine this camera and a you are
overlooking Burron Juck Dam and the Murmbidie River and you
can drive down there and swim and camp and fish
(18:02):
and all the rest of it. But you've got a
beautiful twenty five year old AV Jennings home to enjoy
as well, tucked into the valley. So yeah, we better
get out this weekend and have a look at that one.
When you're driving in there, it's like driving in along
the lake.
Speaker 8 (18:15):
That could be in Scotland.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Yeah, yeah, nice, all right, George.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Well, it's always a pleasure to catch up with you
as always, and we'll check in again soon.
Speaker 6 (18:24):
Yeah, thank you very much. You have a good day.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
That's our George Southwell, CEO at ray White Rural Camber, Yes,
and Maurin Bateman there, kemp Well.
