Wouldn’t it be great to have the insights of a trusted agent in your corner when buying or selling your home? Real estate can be full of twists and turns, but with the right guidance, you can navigate the journey with ease and confidence.

To help those who are thinking of embarking on their property journey in 2025, we asked some of our leading agents to share their No.1 piece of personal advice for navigating the market and gaining a competitive edge.

SAM GUO
“The biggest gains in real estate are made by those who know how to manage risk. Buyers who are brave with their purchases when others are fearful, can reap rewards.”

BRAD COYNE
“When it comes to selling your home, there is a formula for getting it right. You don’t get a second chance at making a first impression.”

RYAN WARD
“As a buyer, do your research and due diligence, and always look at multiple properties. Sellers, be sure to choose an agent that aligns with your property goals.”

TROY DOWKER
“When buying or selling, trust your intuition. Tomorrow isn’t promised, so make decisions based on what is best for you and your family today.”

JAMIE HARRISON
“Knowing the market is key to gaining the best sales result. Challenge your agent on their understanding of the market, such as who are the buyers and what is motivating them.”

HAYLEY KIDSON
“Expert negotiation skills are the difference between getting a good price for your property and a great price. Go with an agent who can fight your corner.”

PAUL HARRISON
“In a market that is a little more challenging, your success is dependent on the level of service, communication and marketing provided by your agent. Choose wisely.”

TAYLOR KLEINBERG
“Understand buyer demographics. It doesn’t matter if the market is up or down, if you are not targeting the right people, you won’t get a premium price.”

DANNY STANLEY
“If you are bringing your home to market, good presentation is vital. Having it professionally staged and styled will make a significant difference to the final sale price.

ROB LAMB
“The holidays are a golden time to sell, particularly apartments, because there are more people on the Gold Coast hunting for a second home or investment property.”

DEBORA SUTTON
“If selling in the new year, start a conversation with your agent now to get ahead of the competition when it comes to positioning your home in the market.”

ADAM GRBCIC
“Low commercial vacancy rates make this a prime time to invest in sites with short lease terms and value-add potential to boost future returns.”
