There have been thousands and thousands of kids walk through the doors of Police Boys Clubs across Australia now known as the PCYC.

We’re talking Real Estate with John Gibson Managing Director, Locate Negotiate and our co-host Mark Warren. Our special guest is none other than James Dack, Real Estate superstar, turned technology entrepreneur. What a journey of blood, sweat and tears! The high life was an ocean away from where he grew up, the depressed, hardscrabble streets of Sydney's inner-city suburb of Woolloomooloo, where his family moved in 1973, when Dack was 13. He was the eldest child, five years ahead of Stephen, eight years older than Alison.  Losing his beautiful Mum Florence, at just 52, James just at 14, effectively becomes the man of the house. James and Stephen (a superb amateur boxer and distinguished Rugby League player) literally call the Woolloomooloo PCYC home, his attachment and commitment to the PCYC is legendary and ongoing to this day where James remains on the PCYC Board. In the late eighties, Dack started in the real estate industry as co-founding partner of McGrath Real Estate. He reaped a bounty in the glory years of the 1990’s and well into the new century. Television bosses Ryan Stokes and David Gyngell, one time Qantas Chief Geoff Dixon and former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull all bought and sold through Dack’s earthy Australian pitch. The industry recognised a star and awarded Dack its trophy for being the nation's leading real estate agent several years running. He was the top sales person with McGraths 19 years in a row, yet Dack doesn’t like the term sales person!? Dack’s work for charity and community is just simply phenomenal and well documented all rooted in his humble upbringings on those streets around Woolloomooloo, where the rich and poorer families were separated by a pitching wedge. James is happily married to Mary Cowin, the daughter of Billionaire Mr Jack Cowin of Hungry Jacks fame, and so we had to ask THE REAL BIG QUESTION, and that is, “BIG MAC or Whopper?!” Enjoy Talking Real Estate with John Gibson.

A must listen from a brilliant story teller. Sugar Joel Caine, former NRL player with the St George Dragons, Balmain Tigers, Wests Tigers (amassing 526 points with try scoring ability and a precision boot) then to the English Super League with The London Broncos and Salford City Reds. Caine is now the face of corporate bookmaker Sportsbet, his strapline is “Remember, always gamble responsibly”. His story takes us for a ride, in part an emotional and financial roller coaster, as Caine reflects on a business decision through no fault of his own that had him staring at bankruptcy and again Rugby League was a saviour. In another insight, Caine reflects on his entry to the NRL perhaps by default just perhaps playing a major role in setting up one of Rugby Leagues greatest players in a case of mistaken identity! For the full story, including Joel’s astute property knowledge and journey plus a market snapshot Q&A with John Gibson and co-host Mark Warren check out the full podcast. #JoelCaine #SEN1170 #Fox #Nine #JoelandFletch #locatenegotiate #propertymarketupdate #sydneypropertymarket #johngibson #propertyinvestment #buyersagentsydney #grahamarnold #talkingrealestate #propertypodcast #propertyconsultancy #propertyadviser

Much like his Dad, John Gibson is very much less is more, his message to buyers and investors is simple, ‘DON’T PANIC, HANG ON’! Our industry leader and Managing Director of Locate Negotiate calls for calm amid what could be a short term rollercoaster ride. Whilst Gibson concedes there is reduced buyer enquiry, longer marketing periods, some vendor discounting and perhaps the days of sales figures exceeding asking prices are gone, for now, Gibson has little doubt, in fact, adamant the Real Estate market will see blue skies perhaps sooner than anticipated. Certainly, sooner than the so called experts who just a couple of years ago forecasted drops of up to 30% in the residential market. Gibson points to the growth over the last two years being ‘off the charts’. Gibson has the answers as to why we are in a strong position. A must listen for any buyer or investor! Sure, interest rates are on the rise with the RBA trying to apply the hand brake with rising living costs due to inflationary factors but for how long will the interest rates hikes last? Gibson gives his take, his reasons for optimism are factual and comforting, to say the least! Talk about ‘Where were you?’ moments in Australian sport’, Socceroos Coach Graham Arnold substitutes Matt Ryan, his first choice goalkeeper and his captain, with ‘The Grey Wiggle’ Andrew Redmayne for the Socceroos World Cup qualifier against Peru. The major point is this was part of ‘Arnie’s’ plan long before this massive call and can attribute the master stroke to the influence his coaching mentor Gus Hiddink has had on our Socceroos coach as he leads the side to the World Cup in Qatar. Hiddink the master planner and strategist, and Arnold soaked up his lessons it’s an extraordinary insight!  That relationship with 'Aussie Guus' etched in history a special relationship, again speaking of ‘Where were you?’ moments, Australian Sporting Moment of the Century, yep, ‘that John Aloisis goal’ from the penalty box slammed into the net against Uruguay in front of 82,000 adoring Australians. Simply WOW! Originally a Sutherland boy, Arnold clocked up 178 games with Sydney United during the 80’s before playing abroad in Belgium, Holland and Japan. This very grounded Super Coach has Real Estate insights if purchasing in Holland! Arnold became player coach for Northern Spirit with Robbie Slater and Phil Moss also at the new club. The coaching ranks beckoned. Coaching Sydney United, then Northern Spirit, moving forward as an assistant and caretaker with the Australian teams before taking on the Australian U/23s. Arnold's time with the Central Coast Mariners was certainly a breakout period, in his three years with the Mariners the Central Coast side achieved three top two finishes, one premiership and one Championship. A quick stint in Japan before landing the Sydney FC coach and Arnold's stocks rose again with another two Premierships and an FFA Cup. He is a Football Federation Australia Football Hall of Fame Inductee; we welcome Graham Arnold to Talking Real Estate with John Gibson. We hope you enjoy this great story.

Locate Negotiate's Managing Director John Gibson looks at a phenomenon called 'social facilitation' and the role this phenomenon plays at auction, very much another reason to have Gibson in your corner! We look at the current property market with interest rate hikes and what this means for homeowners and investors alike. Simply a must-listen. We ask John how long the rises will last, how often they will rise and how high they will go. We also look at the past for a guide as to historical factual data on price drops versus price recovery. Our special guest, none other than The Lambassador, Slammin Sam Kekovich! Kekovich was born in Manjimup, Western Australia, to Yugoslav parents who had emigrated to Australia after the war. Tobacco farms dotted the Ovens Valley landscape in the 1960s. One of them briefly was home to a couple who had fled Yugoslavia at the end of World War 2 and initially settled in Manjimup in country Western Australia before heading east. Vic and Mary Kekovich found their way to Nug Nug via Gunbower to continue growing tobacco. Make no mistake - Kekovich considers himself a Myrtleford boy and Victorians consider him one of their finest. Taking us on a journey through the highs and the lows of business, sport and family, he is extremely open and candid. Slammin Sam played 124 games with North Melbourne, giving a star performance in their inaugural premiership victory back in 1975. Sam, an inductee into North Melbourne's Team Of The Century, also played 4 matches with Collingwood. His lead role for Meat and Livestock Australia is a blockbusting advertising success story and Kekovich takes us behind the scenes. You know it makes sense! Kekovich is perhaps the most sought-after guest speaker in Australia and you are about to learn why. His versatility in the execution of the English language will have you in fits of laughter and absolute adoration for his language mastery with superlatives flying left right and centre. Enjoy Talking Real Estate with John Gibson. #SamKekovich #SlamminSam #TheLambassador #LocateNegotiate #NorthMelbourne #KekovichBrothers #Myrtleford #TeamOfTheCentury #RealEstateExperience #JohnGibson #HomeOwners #InterestRates (description needed)

Molan spent 11 years as a news anchor and sports presenter with Nine, very much a main stay with the WWOS team, Rugby League, tennis, netball and even anchored some boxing as well, versatile an understatement. The first woman to host The Footy Show, so very much a pioneer of types.
