Reviews

4.4 out of 5 stars from 39 ratings
  • Amazing guests, terrible interviewers

    It would be so good if the interviewers actually listened and responded to the incredibly intelligent guests instead of just reading prewritten click-bait nonsense questions.

    Pretty hard to take the interviewers seriously

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is the Kiwi Dream a Trap? The Truth About NZ Property
Q: Was it just a way for the business to make more money?
Simon explains that expansion is driven by growth, but the core aim is to increase value for clients and uphold a higher standard of service, not merely to extract more revenue.
Auckland’s PC120 Explained: What Every Property Owner Needs to Know
Q: What is PC 120 and what are the recent changes?
PC120 is a planning change being debated by the Auckland Council and government; Turner explains that the rules are evolving quickly due to shifts in national and local policy, affecting how growth and intensification are planned, funded, and implemented, with ongoing public submissions and staff analysis.
Is Global Chaos About to Cause Market Mayhem in NZ Property?
Q: Why does a conflict in the Middle East actually directly affect mortgage rates in New Zealand?
Because oil supply disruptions push up oil prices, which raises freight costs and feeds into inflation, prompting central banks to adjust interest rates; those rate changes then influence mortgage costs in New Zealand.
Is Global Chaos About to Cause Market Mayhem in NZ Property?
Q: Jason, the world feels chaotic right now. Are the markets entering a new era of volatility, and what should our clients do about that?
Volatility is partly a perception thing, but the core advice is to stay disciplined: focus on opportunities to add value, buy under market value when possible, and ensure you have liquidity and a robust plan to weather swings.
Auckland’s PC120 Conflict: Why Housing Intensification is Facing Natural Hazards
Q: If you could wave a magic wand over council at the moment, what changes would you make?
Ken suggests sensible staffing changes and a more efficient administration, emphasizing the need to reduce bureaucratic bottlenecks while preserving capable personnel to implement policy.
