How Buyer's Agents Can Guide Investors Through the Negative Gearing and CGT Debate.

Julie Crockett hosts the Buyer Agent Networks podcast and discusses how buyer's agents can help property investors stay clear headed amid media noise about possible capital gains tax changes. She notes that nothing has been confirmed: there is no confirmed change to negative gearing and no confirmed reduction of the current 50% capital gains tax discount, though public discussion includes a possible shift to a 25% discount. Crockett outlines three common investor reactions—rushing to buy, rushing to sell, or freezing and doing nothing—and explains buyer agents should lead with strategy, clarify what is and isn't confirmed, avoid knee-jerk decisions, and not give tax advice. She suggests asking whether selling aligns with a client's long-term plan and emphasizes investors' role in providing rental housing supply.
