How to Thrive in this New Market
Send us Fan MailCalling it a “bad market” is the fastest way to talk yourself out of doing great work. We unpack why the current Australian real estate cycle is better understood as a new market, and how that single mindset shift changes your confidence, your conversations, and your ability to win listings and grow market share even when prices have softened.We get practical on what separates thriving agents from everyone else: energetic yet calm presence, leadership with vendors, and the courage to talk price early and clearly. We dig into the 30 day comparables rule, why outdated sales evidence quietly kills campaigns, and how the best operators realign guides fast based on buyer feedback before a property slips into the stale zone. If you’ve got an owner clinging to last year’s expectations, you’ll hear a clean approach to resetting the conversation with facts and context, without drama.We also zoom out to the realities driving buyer behaviour, from interest rates and cost of living pressure to seasonal shifts like spring stock. The through-line is simple: deals still happen when you do the job properly, tighten the gap between buyer and seller, and communicate like a pro.

How Top Agents Win When Buyers Pull Back
Send us Fan MailThe market hasn’t “stopped” it’s just stopped carrying lazy habits. We’re three weeks out from AREC, and the timing couldn’t be better because this is exactly when real estate agents find out whether they’re doing the work or just taking orders.We unpack the practical fundamentals that still sell property in a softer Australian real estate market: doing serious buyer work (more depth, more follow-up, better dialogue), tightening your vendor communication around price, and using real buyer feedback to keep expectations aligned with today’s market value. We also talk about set-to-sell meetings, why hyper-product knowledge matters more than ever, and how to speak with calm confidence when interest rates rise and the buyer-seller gap widens.Along the way, we share stories about standout performers and what great agents do differently, including generosity, humility, and discipline. The big takeaway is simple: you can’t control the Reserve Bank or the headlines, but you can control your process, your conversations, and the energy you bring to every campaign.What’s the one skill you’re doubling down on before the year ends?

Your 10-Point Plan in a Transition Market
Send us Fan MailA single headline can freeze a buyer, spook an agent, and quietly sabotage a sale. So we strip the noise away and get practical about what actually works when the market shifts from easy momentum to cautious decision-making across East Coast Australia and beyond.We unpack what a transition market demands from a real estate agent: resetting vendor expectations early, giving direct feedback after every inspection, and pricing based on what has sold in the last 60 days not what sold six months ago. We also dig into the skill gap that shows up fast when enquiry levels drop: buyer management. If your buyer plan starts and ends with calling people after Saturday opens, you’re leaving deals on the table. Strong agents build a database, stay in touch, learn buyer motivation, and create private appointment urgency without relying on the portals to do the heavy lifting.Then we get into deal-making: when to take a clean pre-auction offer, why “being a hero” can backfire, and how to negotiate with calm certainty instead of nervous pressure. We finish with one of the most useful owner-occupier frames in a changing property market: the changeover gap. If you’re buying and selling in the same market, the gap often matters more than the headline price, especially for upgraders chasing long-term value.If this helped you think clearer about selling, buying, or leading clients through uncertainty, subscribe, share it with a mate in real estate, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.

December Deals, Bigger Thinking
Send us Fan MailA suburb record falls in Bankstown at six-and-a-half million, but the real headline is what it proves: momentum is still there for agents who price right, run a pro diary, and keep calling when everyone else clocks off. We swap excuses for evidence and map a practical path to 2x growth next year with simple, high-leverage shifts you can implement this week.We break down a ruthless year-end reset using stop, start, continue—what to cut, what to add, and what to keep but execute with more precision. You’ll hear why belief follows action, how to build streaks that compound, and the exact daily cadence top performers use: blocked prospecting, tight vendor updates, and role-play that actually moves the needle. We share the short-video proposal that beats a 20-page deck, a clean negotiation frame that sets expectations early, and a buyer follow-up sequence that shortens days on market.We also dive into EBU structure: crystal-clear roles, removing the lead-agent bottleneck, turning assistants into revenue partners, and scaling only as fast as your plumbing allows. Scarcity, used honestly, becomes a close; discipline, used daily, becomes your brand. Use the holiday window to rest, learn, and pre-build January so you hit the ground running with a schedule that looks more like a surgeon’s than a wanderer’s.If you’re ready to think bigger, act faster, and practice like a pro, this conversation is your blueprint. Enjoy the energy, steal the scripts, and set your 2026 standard now. If this helped, follow the show, share it with a teammate, and leave a quick review—what’s the one habit you’ll start tomorrow?

Your Reel Won’t Sell A House, Your Calls Will
Send us Fan MailWhat actually stops most agents from hitting seven figures? In this episode, we strip away the fluff and go straight to the real levers — belief, identity, environment and daily execution. You’ll learn why goals must force growth: aiming from 32 to 42 sales changes nothing, but aiming for 75 requires a full upgrade in tonality, questions, energy and systems. We also break down why warm prospecting beats vanity content every time. Past appraisals, neighbours around new listings, local buyers and owners you spoke to 6–24 months ago consistently outperform random cold dials and reel-heavy branding that never asks for the business.We also tackle the environments and compliance realities that most agents ignore. Your culture matters — big office buzz, boutique focus or tight EBU — and the wrong one will quietly cap your growth. We unpack the three circles that hold agents back (situation, other people and self) and why the self is usually the true bottleneck. Plus, with underquoting under the microscope and AI monitoring campaigns, we outline the simple habits that protect trust: document conversations, update guides as enquiry shifts and deliver transparent vendor reports. If you’re ready to stop playing small and operate like a genuine million-dollar agent, this episode gives you the blueprint.

Send us Fan MailUnderquoting in real estate remains a persistent challenge despite years of legislative attempts to address it, with the REINSW CEO, Tim McKibbin, joining John McGrath and Tom Panos to unpack the legal and ethical dimensions of property price guides. The discussion explores whether underquoting actually benefits vendors or merely creates disappointed buyers who waste time and money.• The offence of underquoting is representing a price that's less than the agent's estimated selling price• Agents must work within a maximum 10% price range when quoting to buyers• If a vendor rejects an offer, the quoted price cannot be lower than the rejected offer• Agents can adjust price guides during campaigns as market feedback comes in• The obligation to represent accurate pricing rests with the agent, not the vendor• Poor industry education contributes to pricing issues with 80% churn rate in NSW real estate• Serial underquoters damage the industry's reputation and create emotional distress for buyers• Technology may play a role in monitoring compliance in future regulatory approaches• Transparency and integrity are essential for rebuilding trust with the public

John McGrath reinforces the need for radical transparency, stating, "We don’t condition, we don’t make up buyers, we don’t make up comments."With Tom reporting a strong market and a recent 100% clearance rate, this timely episode provides essential insights for agents who want to stay ethical—and competitive.

What is distracting me from God today?
Will we dare to diagnose our distractions? This heavy topic is on our mind today as we ponder the lessons from the Book of Proverbs about priorities, and distractions.Stephanie introduces us this week to a new fictitious character, who constantly seeks to maintain herself in a state of numbing and escape from the real world. And so, we look at the ever-increasing numbing that comes from seeking pleasure or relief in the wrong places, so predominant in our culture today. We talk about misplaced loves: we are wired for joy and pleasure and delight, but we need to beware of seeking these in the wrong places, even the “innocent” ones. God is the only safe place for us—in everything, including our delight and joy and pleasure.Make sure to check out the optional-but-oh-so-helpful mini e-book to go along with the series at gospelspice.com/wisdom The author of the Book of Proverbs suffered from an acute case of escapism. King Solomon was addicted to women, and to wine (see Proverbs 31:1-9). He learned the lesson, but too late-- from 1Kings 11 to the entire book of Ecclesiastes, Scripture attests to the failure of the world's wisest man to choose delight in God at the twilight of his royal life. Solomon stopped delighting in God’s glory and started delighting in his own.Does this mean that our own desire to delight in God, and to escape escapism, is a doomed quest? Not so! Because we have access to the wisdom that is from above the sun--the very wisdom of God through the Holy Spirit who lives in us, in the name of Christ. We have what Solomon never had. Disclaimer – pleasure itself is not a bad thing. We are wired for pleasure and joy and delight. But beware where you seek it! Jesus loved pleasure and joy and delight, and role-models how to place these desires rightly: squarely in the lap of our heavenly Father, on our knees.The questions we are challenged to answer this week: Would we rather garner praise from humans for our own works, or praise from God for our dependence on Him? Would we rather build our own little kingdom, bound in time and space under our own wisdom, and be its ruler for a season -- or be part of the larger, infinite, eternal Kingdom of God with the place of honor of a child?Jesus opened the way of wisdom on the cross by surrendering to the Father, and invites us into the same. His passion was the climax of a life of resisting the temptation to delight in Self-glory. For example, the wilderness temptations were all attempts at distractions from His mission. And, so was Gethsemane: it was the final battle for resolve, the culmination of a lifetime of battles against sin and temptation.Jesus did what we could not do: a life of perfect surrender to God (which is perfect freedom) so that He could give us that freedom through the Cross.Freedom from sin;Freedom from Self;Freedom to surrender to the Son.Why would we want to be our own master, when Christ offers to be the master we could never be for ourselves? What the world needs most right now is our personal intimacy with God. Only then will we be truly equipped to reach the world in His Name. So, Stephanie ends this highly personal episode with several of her own personal tips and experiences of trusting God. They include:- Early morning routine;- Prayer;- Bible study, intake, memorization (raking for leaves and digging for diamonds both);- Discipline;- Worship.Are we PERFECT? NO. But the general direction is a growth in our moment-by-moment dependence on God by His Spirit through Jesus Christ our Lord. That’s the spirit of the Book of Proverbs. Don’t give up. Trust God, not yourself. Make sure to check out the optional-but-oh-so-helpful mini e-book to go along with the series at gospelspice.com/proverbsMEET OUR FICTIONAL GUEST TODAY | LIZLizzie loves a good shopping spree. She finds peace in the endless rhythm of browsing the racks, and trying things on, and spending hours in search of the one perfect item she is looking for. She usually does not know what she needs until she finds it, but then, she knows. She jokes that Target has a memory erasing device at the entrance of their stores—she comes in for milk, and leaves with 3 trendy pillows, a pretty dress, and a new kitchen gadget. And then she has to send her husband to the store after work because she forgot the milk. Oh, her husband. He’s a good man.Lizzie loves to spend hours on social media. She’s been known to let dinner to burn, or forget to get it started, because she was down a rabbit hole on Twitter. Good thing she can order takeout at the click of a button. Her husband is very supportive.Her favorite evenings are spent with a glass of wine—or two—watching her favorite shows. Yes, she has been known to binge watch. She just can’t resist the pull of a good story. She loves to bury herself in the comforting world of make-believe characters and their fascinating stories, especially easy romance. Her own life is dull and humdrum—nothing like those exciting adventures. Married, kids out of the house, not much to report. Well, on the surface at least. She doesn’t really want to think about the long evenings her husband has to work to provide for them. All this stress is exhausting.Lizzie loves the little cocoon she has woven for herself—all those well-deserved, innocent comforts to escape reality. She remembers a time in life when it seemed like she could handle a lot more—more stress, more activities, more relationships. Maybe it’s just part of aging. That’s why Lizzie loves to take naps: there is nothing like the feel of drifting away from reality to embrace the sweet comfort of sleep.She just decided to quit her job as a part-time administrative clerk; it is just too much pressure. Yes, it is going to put financial stress on her hard-working husband, but her wellbeing is important, right? He keeps telling her that God will give her purpose and passion. That sounds like too much work. She’s not interested. She’d rather stay home and get some rest.Distractions build a smoke and mirror kingdom that will take us away from God’s calling on our lives. Because we are wired for joy and hope and faith, we need to see the danger of distractions, even “innocent” ones. Accumulated distractions will build for us a small world of delusion and fantasy. Lizzie is seeking refuge in her little make-believe bubble of comforts. This small escape world only exists in her mind. It is the sum of her misplaced loves.The Book of Proverbs teaches us that wisdom is placing our love in God Himself. No less, no more. God invites us to live out the fullness of our identity in Him. Lizzie is too distracted to care about identity, calling and purpose. She has numbed herself into the comfortable oblivion of manifold distractions.So, unlike Lizzie, let’s dare to diagnose our distractions. Let’s dare to refuse self-deception and self-numbing. Let’s seek to cultivate the root of our hope, our faith, our joy in God Himself. Let’s be ruthlessly honest and see distractions as they really are in our own heart, even when comfort beckons. Especially when comfort beckons. And let’s dare to ask ourselves: what if God was using our uncomfortable circumstances to personally mentor us into deeper intimacy with Him? Would it make difficult seasons worth it?We have a choice. Our circumstances can distract us away from genuine faith, hope and joy, or they can draw us closer to God. We cannot grow closer to God while building our own little kingdom through self-numbing and worldly comforts. Instead, God invites us to join His bold and ambitious work to build His larger, infinite, eternal Kingdom.To accomplish our purpose in this life, we need to be laser-focused on God’s calling over us, and shun the worldly distractions. What the world needs most right now is our personal intimacy with God. Only then will we be truly equipped to reach the world in His Name.Take a listen to Gospel Spice Podcast Episode 390 to find out many more ways that our world aims to distract us from God today.Make sure to check out the optional-but-oh-so-helpful mini e-book to go along with the series at gospelspice.com/wisdom We invite you to check out the first episode of each of our series, and decide which one you will want to start with.Go to gospelspice.com for more, and go especially to gospelspice.com/podcast to enjoy our guests!

Le salut des non chrétiens
Commentaire de l'évangile SELON SAINT luc - 12, 39-48En ce temps-là, Jésus disait à ses disciples : « Vous le savez bien : si le maître de maison avait su à quelle heure le voleur viendrait, il n’aurait pas laissé percer le mur de sa maison. Vous aussi, tenez-vous prêts : c’est à l’heure où vous n’y penserez pas que le Fils de l’homme viendra. » Pierre dit alors : « Seigneur, est-ce pour nous que tu dis cette parabole, ou bien pour tous ? » Le Seigneur répondit : « Que dire de l’intendant fidèle et sensé à qui le maître confiera la charge de son personnel pour distribuer, en temps voulu, la ration de nourriture ? Heureux ce serviteur que son maître, en arrivant, trouvera en train d’agir ainsi ! Vraiment, je vous le déclare : il l’établira sur tous ses biens. Mais si le serviteur se dit en lui-même : “Mon maître tarde à venir”, et s’il se met à frapper les serviteurs et les servantes, à manger, à boire et à s’enivrer, alors quand le maître viendra, le jour où son serviteur ne s’y attend pas et à l’heure qu’il ne connaît pas, il l’écartera et lui fera partager le sort des infidèles. Le serviteur qui, connaissant la volonté de son maître, n’a rien préparé et n’a pas accompli cette volonté, recevra un grand nombre de coups. Mais celui qui ne la connaissait pas, et qui a mérité des coups pour sa conduite, n’en recevra qu’un petit nombre. À qui l’on a beaucoup donné, on demandera beaucoup ; à qui l’on a beaucoup confié, on réclamera davantage. »L'Amour Vaincra ! Fr.
