You Don’t Want To Be Like This Buyer’s Agent
Julie Crockett hosts the Buyer Agent Networks podcast and responds to a scenario involving a buyer’s agent who purchased a regional NSW property with an older extension rented as dual income, despite late council enquiries showing a DA was issued but the construction certificate was refused, no occupation certificate was issued, and a building information certificate was under assessment. The contract also included a special condition that the purchaser accepted all defects and non-compliance, and after settlement council issued a stop use order, with possible rectification costs estimated at $40,000–$50,000.

Why Finance Structure Is The Game Changer for Building Portfolios with Ross Kilpatrick

Why Finance Structure Is The Game Changer for Building Portfolios with Ross Kilpatrick
Julie Crockett hosts the Buyer Agent Networks podcast with guest Ross Kilpatrick from the loan structuring group, discussing why loan structuring for property investors matters beyond simple loan approval. Ross explains loan structuring as choosing the right lender, security, borrower structure, LVR, and product/interest type, noting needs differ for first-time investors versus clients building larger portfolios. They emphasize that buyer’s agents should understand the basics because structure affects borrowing capacity and future purchases, enabling repeat deals and referrals, and that brokers and buyer’s agents must communicate and revisit strategy as variables change. Ross shares common issues: buyer agents setting unrealistic expectations (e.g., granny flat plans or trust/SPV lending requirements), pushing clients to max borrowing, and agreeing to tight settlements without lender checks. He says he enjoys educating first-time investors and shares examples of clients growing from zero to multiple properties. Ross also mentions he enjoys DIY woodworking and renovating his Sydney home.

Are Your Property Investor Clients Safe in Your Hands?
Julie Crockett hosts the Buyer Agent Networks podcast and challenges buyer agents to consider whether their property investor clients are truly “safe in your hands,” stressing that investor protection starts at onboarding with clear alignment, expectations, and communication of the buyer agent’s value and boundaries via meetings and digital assets. She shares a case study of an investor aiming to buy 100 properties over 10 years, explaining the need to realistically unpack goals, including lender considerations and cash flow for each purchase.

Property Investors Are Feeling the Squeeze — Why a Tax Variation Could Be a Smart Move Right Now
Julie Crockett hosts the Buyer Agent Networks podcast and discusses how buyer’s agents can support property investor clients who are feeling the cash-flow squeeze from rising costs, including the RBA cash rate lifting to 4.1% (17 March), inflation at 3.7% (February 2026), higher housing and living expenses, and fuel price pressure (with the federal government announcing a temporary halving of the fuel excise). She explains a little-known option, a PAYG withholding tax variation, which can allow eligible investors—often negatively geared—to receive expected tax benefits throughout the year in each pay packet rather than waiting for a year-end refund, potentially easing household budgets and helping clients hold quality assets. Crockett stresses buyer’s agents should not give tax advice and should direct clients to their accountant and the ATO application process, noting it can backfire if done incorrectly.

The Sales Agent Did a Dummy Spit
Julie Crockett hosts the Buyer Agent Networks podcast and trains new buyer’s agents on what to do when a sales agent “spits the dummy,” using a recent first-home-buyer case. She explains how she helped a client narrow a scrambled search by tightening suburbs, transport needs, and property type within budget, then guided her through inspections and questions while Julie handled negotiations. When the client wanted to offer on a property that returned to market, the sales agent demanded the buyer’s name and details and claimed she couldn’t present the offer without them. She describes calmly refusing to divulge client information due to her agreement, assuring the agent the buyer had seen the property and had pre-approval, and stating the buyer’s name would appear on the contract. The vendor accepted another offer, and she emphasizes reassuring clients, maintaining professionalism, and safeguarding anonymity.

How Buyer’s Agents Can Guide Investors Through the Negative Gearing and CGT Debate.
Julie Crockett hosts the Buyer Agent Networks podcast and discusses how buyer’s agents can help property investors stay clear headed amid media noise about possible capital gains tax changes. She notes that nothing has been confirmed: there is no confirmed change to negative gearing and no confirmed reduction of the current 50% capital gains tax discount, though public discussion includes a possible shift to a 25% discount. Crockett outlines three common investor reactions—rushing to buy, rushing to sell, or freezing and doing nothing—and explains buyer agents should lead with strategy, clarify what is and isn’t confirmed, avoid knee-jerk decisions, and not give tax advice. She suggests asking whether selling aligns with a client’s long-term plan and emphasizes investors’ role in providing rental housing supply.

MAGNETIC MARKETING FOR BUYER'S AGENTS
Julie Crockett hosts the Buyer Agent Networks podcast and shares magnetic marketing tips for new buyer’s agents, emphasizing that marketing must build trust because clients are seeking confidence, clarity, peace of mind, and protection from costly mistakes—not just a property search. She urges agents to put clients first, create consistently high-quality, authority-building content rather than fluffy or generic posts, and define a specific niche so marketing speaks directly to a target audience. Julie explains how she refined her niche to single female first-time corporate investors and found them through LinkedIn and aligned groups, noting leads increased as her niche sharpened. She recommends diversifying content (videos, podcasts, articles), using AI strategically with heavy refinement, engaging on others’ posts, and taking a long-term approach, sharing an example of a client who listened to 74 podcast episodes before reaching out years later.

She also advises narrowing the search area to reduce overwhelm, involving the client in each due diligence step, and speaking with certainty to build trust.
