The Real Estate Wrap and Insights

The Real Estate Wrap and Insights

Talking Real Estate with Locate Negotiate Managing Director John Gibson and its access all areas, our industry leader with his co-host Mark Warren.

John has been clocking up the kilometres, his insights into the looming aerotropolis for the new Western Sydney Airport and Land Banking in the wild west. Gibson's knowledge is on point and a must-listen.

Gibson takes a quick look at international markets namely the United States, Russia & China; a fascinating look at the overseas markets.

Back on local shores, Australia's real estate mark remains astonishingly to conventional predictions. Lower listings appear to be playing a major role against additional downward pressure.

A somewhat inevitable 'mortgage cliff' for some owners and investors we get Gibson's expert opinion.

We look at commercial leasing and what is required by employers to get more workers back into the office in this new climate.

Finally, John and Mark look at buying off-plan, again Gibson's expertise and knowledge gives great free of charge advice. If buying a new apartment buyers and investors need John Gibson’s Locate Negotiate on their team.

Johnny Lewis joins John Gibson

Episode 19 Talking Real Estate with John Gibson is The Master Trainer Johnny Lewis. Johnny Lewis on Real Estate, the early days, some of the journey and of course boxing.

Born at Bankstown Hospital in 1944 (although claims to be a Queenslander - more on that to follow as you will hear) a place he adores and hard to extract from, the son of Marge and Alfie Lewis.

There have been thousands and thousands of kids walk through the doors of Police Boys Clubs across Australia now known as the PCYC. Johnny Lewis OAM has impacted on so many of these young lives, whether personally or sometimes indirectly, suffice to say, zero doubt has saved many young lives or steered young Australians to a better life path whether via sport or with his simple yet profound, sometimes strong, but always caring words of wisdom.

Often referred to as the Godfather of Australian boxing. Lewis was inducted into the Canastota Boxing Hall Of Fame in New York back in 2006 the very same year awarded the Order Of Australia Medal.

On the real estate front, it’s fair to say interest rate increases are brutal however our industry leader John Gibson has ‘cautious optimism’ for buyers and investors but doesn’t side step the issue that there could be difficult times for some in the property market, a must listen.

James Dack joins John Gibson

James Dack joins John Gibson

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?!”

Joel Caine joins John Gibson

Joel Caine joins 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.

Graham Arnold joins John Gibson

Graham Arnold joins John Gibson

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.

Sam Kekovich joins John Gibson

Sam Kekovich joins John Gibson

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.

Robert "Dipper" DiPierdomenico joins John Gibson

Robert "Dipper" DiPierdomenico joins John Gibson

Industry leader John Gibson makes a point of steering wide of politics, however with a new leader and new government in power John weighs in on the possible effects a new government brings to the property market. Gibson is adamant there are much bigger factors to be considered, no matter who is in power in Canberra. A must listen!

Two words; interest rates! We look deeper at the possible scenarios for buyers with a higher than anticipated rise in inflation, fuelled by supply chain shortages, international events and strong domestic demand. The construction industry faces real challenges with supply. Gibson dissects the landscape. Has the market cooled or plateaued? Gibson gives his take on property prices. We look at the commercial leasing space and the new look for city office blocks, suffice to say, a real winner for the office worker!

Our special guest is none other than Robert 'Dipper' DiPierdomenico. Hawthorn Superstar with a career that spanned over seventeen years at the Hawks, he patrolled the wings with flair and toughness that became folklore at Glenferrie, a five time premiership player, three time team of the year, Brownlow medallist and AFL Hall of Fame Inductee. Dipper is one of the game's great characters of the eighties and one of the game's fiercest competitors. One of AFL's biggest personalities, panellist, boundary rider and expert commentary. Cameo appearances in Flying Doctors, Neighbours and more recently I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here and now hosting his own show on Seven Mate, Dipper's Backyard BBQ Wars. DiPierdomenico has always given back to charity and community and is now largely involved with The Good Blokes Society doing great work in the men's health space based around Mental Health.

Locate Negotiate's Managing Director John Gibson as always gives his industry leader market wrap and his 'subtle buying guides' for investors including South Western Sydney and growth opportunities along the Aerotropolis corridor leading to Sydney's second airport at Badgerys Creek, insightful to say the least.

And of course, Gibbo's worldly random facts from both here in Australia and overseas!

Locate Negotiate's Managing Director John Gibson as always gives his industry leader market wrap and his 'subtle buying guides' for investors including South Western Sydney and growth opportunities along theAerotropolis corridor leading to Sydney's second airport at Badgerys Creek, insightful to say the least. Gibson looks at the South Australian market that combines liveability and affordability and also Western Australia in what can be a boom, and or, bust cycle in regional areas. And of course, Gibbo's worldly random facts from both here in Australia and overseas!

Luke Ricketson where does one start? Son of former Eastern Suburbs player Doug Ricketson, Luke started his footy with Bondi United at the age of seven back in 1980 and attended Waverley College. Clocking up 301 games for the Sydney Roosters overtaking club legend Kevin 'Horrie' Hastings record of 217 matches. (Ricketson's club record would be overtaken by Anthony Minichiello with 302 and then subsequently surpassed by Mitchell Aubusson with 306 games.) Ricketson played 3 matches for City, 10 for the Blues, 4 matches with Ireland and 6 caps for Australia, 2 Grand Final appearances for the Chooks, winning the premiership in 2002 against the Warriors and a loss to the Panthers in 2003, add a World Club Challenge victory against English Super League Champions St Helens. What a career!

Turning the page, and the business world beckoned purchasing a pub in Surry Hills with great friend Bryan Fletcher, he went on to join the Nine Entertainment Company in media sales, a regular panel member on Nine's ratings blockbuster, The Footy Show and also featured on Seven's Sydney Weekender program. Let's add to the list, Sexiest Man in League and Dancing With The Stars and at a glance one would have to say, what a journey so far!

Luke shares his early property experiences we also look at business decisions past and present. Ricketson has been on the Sydney Roosters Board of Directors since 2010, in fact takes us inside the boardroom and just what it's like to witness some of the biggest heavyweights both in Rugby League and the world of business, people like Mr David Gyngell, Mr Mark Bouris and Mr Nick Politis which is extremely entertaining!

From the outside looking in, it's now apparent to see that Ricketson was always going to be a businessman of note. Ricketson has now launched Ricketson Insurance Company an Authorised Representative of Insurance Advisernet. And as you will hear relationships and trust the cornerstone of his business. First and foremost, Luke is father to Grace and Sophie and husband to Kate Waterhouse.

Erin Molan joins John Gibson

Erin Molan joins John Gibson

Locate Negotiates John Gibson is off to Queensland (as we drop) to get his feet on the ground and get a real feel for the Queensland market, it's fast paced and demand is high. We look at the devastating floods in Northern NSW and Brisbane areas and just what impact the floods will have on property prices in those markets.

Potential interest rate rises are still in the news and now a war on top yet Gibson says the market remains strong and resilient and he's never been busier although he has real concerns for building companies in certain areas. As always, we have John's market wrap to help keep our listeners in front of the game. Sydney's population is predicted to hit 1.7 million by 2036 and Greater Western Sydney is tipped to absorb two thirds of that growth; we have the areas to watch. On a lighter note, John looks at Gustave Eiffel and a segway to Thomas Edison! As well a few light-hearted memories from Gibson's early days in Real Estate.

Our special guest is an absolute showstopper - enter Ms Erin Molan. An extremely quirky sense of humour, give an inch she could take a yard. Respectfully somewhat flamboyant, polarising and extremely funny. A master of self-deprecating humour.

A talented journalist of nearly 20 years now, born in Canberra and raised in Jakarta Indonesia, Molan attended sixteen different schools with her parents very much on the move, supporting of her father's stellar career in the Australian Army. The daughter of a major general now Senator and great Australian, Senator Jim Molan.

Erin cut her media teeth in community television before landing at WIN Television Wollongong. Fast forward, now its brekky radio on Today FM's The Morning Crew with Hughesy, Ed and Erin, a Sky News contributor and Daily Telegraph Columnist. 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. Erin crash tackled her way into the Continuous Call Teams commentary box at 2GB and networked stations around Australia and again her creativity and humour took centre stage.

On a most serious note, Molan is extremely passionate about online safety, campaigning for new laws to protect Australians from disgusting trolls and those new laws were introduced into Parliament just last year.

First and foremost, though, Erin is a working Mum to young Eliza!

Talking Real Estate with Craig Fitzgibbon

Our industry leader John Gibson covers the current real estate market climate. Gibson looks at the positive impact of technology of recent times including Zoom and Docusign. We touch on the federal election and the potential war in the Ukraine, which very unfortunately since producing this podcast has escalated, our thoughts, prayers and blessings are with the people of the Ukraine. John looks at the extraordinary period of price growth across all markets, both cities, and regional centres. John looks at what cities and regional areas are at their peaks right now, invaluable professional insights to keep you well placed in the property market. We look at the big retailers and our smaller retailers who have been absolutely smashed in recent times. And the BIG question, are interest rates on the move!?

Sharks new head coach Craig Fitzgibbon is our special guest, as a player, well the CV too vast for a podcast overview, in short a star! His father Allan won a premiership with the Tigers back in 1968 and coached the Sharks between 1988 and 1991 including their inaugural minor premiership. Big shoes to fill one might surmise the pressure is on well and truly before a ball has been kicked. Fitzgibbon has been around dressing sheds since he was five years old, as a player he clocked 1680 first class games including an NRL premiership with The Roosters, 11 State of Origin appearances for The Blues, he represented Australia on 19 occasions. When Craig retired from the Roosters he became the defensive coach under a great mentor in Trent Robinson and then joined Brad Fittler's staff over the past three years for two series wins. Perhaps Fitzgibbon is the Minister for Rugby League Defence. Fitzgibbon has been around pressure all his life, he soaks it up, it's what he knows best!

Craig speaks candidly regards his journey in property and the importance of having the right team around you in business. A plus equals minus model.

From a humble family property, but a start all the same, Cheika is ever grateful to his family. As a player, the Number 8 played Under 21s for Australia, more than 300 games for The Galloping Greens and Seven Chute Shields along the way... do you mind! His playing and coaching record is a passport to the world, the envy of any seasoned traveller.

An entrepreneur of types, his date with the fashion industry, enter Collette Dinnigan, is a fantastic yarn. Being Multi lingual, a creative CV and Lebanese friends in retail was key to strategy.

This very proud Australian, of Lebanese decent, is now the coach of the Lebanese Cedars World Cup Rugby League team. We chat about the code transition and his work with The Sydney Roosters. Finally, we ask Cheika "What makes a winner?" And the 2015 World Rugby Coach of the Year leaves us in no doubt as to his unfinished business with Australian Rugby Union.

Sean Garlick of Garlo's Pies joins John Gibson

Presenting Talking Real Estate with John Gibson Episode 2 here we go! The team were searching for cutting edge creative, we settled on John Gibsons Top Ten. Brilliant! We get a yes no to current Real Estate considerations and then we revisit with the benefits of Johns insights as he interprets and reads the market as a respected industry leader.

We ask, is the real estate market going to bottom out next year? Is the demand for property in established regional areas going to fade post Covid? Will State and Federal Government infrastructure spending benefit the property market? Can we expect continued property demand from expats returning to Australia? The retail sector has suffered dramatically this year, so will there be growth in retail property values in 2021? Will tenant demand for office space in the Sydney CBD and fringe city locations return to pre-covid levels if a vaccine gets rolled out next year? Are negative interest rates likely in the future? Is the property market gaining traction in the last three months of this unprecedented times. Could we potentially see record real estate highs? Is there a correlation between inflation and home prices? Could increase prices effect first homebuyer participation? Great insights from an independent property sector professional.

Our special guest is Sean Garlick. The former Bunnies and Roosters captain. A child actor, former policeman and now a Sydney businessman with far reaching networks and knowledge bases across many areas. A great Australian story, an iconic Australian product, the All Australian meat pie, Garlo's Pies! A journey that includes Real Estate in the retail space through to manufacturing and commercial tenancy, it's a great yarn, simply a must listen.

Enjoy Talking Real Estate with John Gibson.
