PMX: From the AFL to 1,000 properties: How Tim Harris broke every rule in property management

What happens when a former football hopeful stumbles into real estate and decides to ignore the industry rulebook? You get one of Melbourne's fastest-growing property management success stories. On The Property Management Excellence (PMX) Podcast, H & B Real Estate director Tim Harris shares the unfiltered story behind one of Melbourne's most remarkable rent roll growth journeys, scaling from 120 properties to nearly 1,000 in just a few years through acquisitions and a refusal to treat property management as secondary to sales. From stumbling into real estate after sport, to finding the right business partner, navigating his first white-knuckle acquisition, and building a team culture that puts people before profit, Harris shares the explosive journey. He also gets candid about what investors actually want, why pipe dreams kill client relationships, and what it really takes to scale a next-gen agency in one of Australia's most competitive markets.
