Property Buzz: Behind the headlines – inside the buyer's agent industry

With tighter scrutiny on the property market, traditional buyer's agent strategies could be turned upside down. Will the sector keep booming, or is a brutal consolidation now underway? On this week's episode of Property Buzz, Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman unpack the inaugural Australian Buyers Agent Awards, a landmark event that brought together nearly 500 of the nation's top buyer's agents and set a new benchmark for credibility, structure, and accountability. The hosts also dig into the growing consolidation wave, with smaller agencies struggling to survive and many now being absorbed into larger, corporatised networks, shifting the sector nationwide. And finally, the big question: should buyer's agents be required to have real property investment experience before advising clients? In an increasingly complex market, credibility may no longer be optional – it could be the difference between trust and risk.
