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.

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 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!
