Property isn’t just a Numbers Game – It’s a People Game

When most people think of property, they think numbers – yields, growth rates, vacancy, equity, LVRs. And don’t get me wrong, those matter.

But here’s the truth no spreadsheet will tell you – property is a people business. Every smooth transaction has an invisible team behind the scenes, hustling to keep it all stitched together.

Let me pull back the curtain.

You’ve got sales agents juggling vendors, buyers, and the chaos that is Saturday opens. Property managers fielding tenant fires – sometimes literally. Building inspectors crawling through spider-infested voids, so we don’t have to. And conveyancers decoding contracts with 42 tabs open and caffeine in their veins.

These aren’t just cogs in the machine – they’re the ones making sure the machine doesn’t fall apart.

So, what separates the deals that drag from the ones that fly?

It’s not always price.
It’s not always timing.
It’s not even the perfect property.

More often than not, it comes down to this:

Being a good human.

Return the call.
Shake the hand.
Say thank you.
Buy the beer.

It’s not revolutionary – but strangely rare.

A Quick Story

There’s one sales agent I’ve done 18 deals with.
Eighteen.

Not because I always offer the highest price. Not because I play hardball. It’s because I show up, tell it straight, and don’t waste their time.

They know I’m not here to lowball, ghost, or play games.
They know I’ll treat them – and their time – with respect.
And that matters in an industry where professionals are often underpaid, overworked, and blamed for things they didn’t break.

Trust doesn’t show up in the contract – but it shows up when they call you back on a Sunday afternoon.

DIY vs Professional?

You can go it alone. Absolutely.

But relationships in this industry aren’t built over weekends. They’re built over years – one honest conversation, one handshake, one deal at a time.

When you work with someone who’s built those bridges already, doors open faster, questions get answered quicker, and problems get solved before they snowball.

Because in the end, this game isn’t just about bricks, land and numbers.

It’s about people.
And being a decent one is still free of charge.
