After nearly 28 years in real estate, including more than two decades running a highly successful independent agency, Aaron Lewis has entered a new chapter, both personally and professionally, with the launch of his Whitsundays-based business.

Every so often, a property comes along that doesn't just offer a place to live, but a completely new way of life.

The real estate industry is one of the most active professional sectors in the country, with a constant flow of training sessions, webinars, seminars, conferences, awards programs and national events taking place across Australia and New Zealand.

Some say that real estate is all about "location, location, location." But for the team at Harcourts Manningham, it’s really about "community, community, community." Proving that business is about more than just bricks and mortar, the agency has renewed its commitment to the local area, headlined by a continued partnership with the Serpell Tennis Club.

In a market crowded with reinvention, rebrands and relentless noise, leading real estate group Raine & Horne is making a statement of confidence. Following months of consultation and hundreds of conversations with principals, sales agents and property managers across its national network, the 142-year-old real estate brand today announces the launch of We Said It Best, a national campaign and summer marketing platform that marks the permanent return of its iconic tagline:

McGrath has expanded its footprint across Sydney with the launch of three premium offices in Manly, Forestville and St Ives, appointing long standing real estate professional Troy Malcolm to lead the next phase of growth in these high demand regions.

Cementing his commitment as one of the Sunshine Coast’s leading agents and business owners, REMAX Property Sales broker owner Tristan Brown has merged his two successful real estate offices to one centralised Sunshine Coast location.

Three highly respected real estate professionals have united to launch Harcourts Werribee, a dynamic new real estate brand poised to redefine service standards across Melbourne’s Western Suburbs. Rick O’Halloran, Reece Beckley and Petar Krnjeta will lead this vibrant new office.

If you’re thinking about selling property today, confidence is easy to find. Advice is everywhere. Predictions are loud, promises are bold, and certainty is often delivered with great conviction.

As bushfires continue to impact communities across Victoria, Property Management Partners has moved to support the property management sector through a practical, no-strings-attached initiative aimed at helping businesses navigate an exceptionally difficult period.

Australia is no stranger to bushfires, and as large parts of the country experience hotter days, dry conditions, and increased fire danger, it’s more important than ever to be prepared. Bushfire season can be unpredictable — conditions can change quickly, and preparation is often the difference between panic and confidence when it matters most.

Harcourts Australia is thrilled to welcome a dynamic new leader to its executive team. Kiarni Hall has been selected to steer the company’s operational strategy, bringing a wealth of experience and a fresh perspective to the organisation.

New Zealand’s property management sector is approaching a structural reckoning. As regulatory pressure increases and professional expectations rise, the industry is being forced to confront a reality many have long deferred, that scale alone is no longer a sufficient measure of success.

The Harcourts Foundation has proudly announced the presentation of a $12,000 grant to Tas Textiles, a significant contribution designed to support the local manufacturer’s growth and creative capabilities. This funding has facilitated the purchase of a new Pom Pom machine, an equipment addition that is already opening doors to new commercial opportunities for the organisation.

January has a particular energy. After the intensity of December, the industry exhales. Inboxes quieten. The pace softens. Minds clear. It is one of the few moments in the year when reflection feels natural rather than forced. And it is often in this quieter space that the most meaningful leadership realisations emerge. For many property management professionals, the reset into 2026 is not about doing more. It is about doing less — with greater intention. The quie

The real estate industry does not move in straight lines. It moves in cycles. In the lunar calendar, 2025 was the Year of the Snake, a symbol associated with strategy, awareness and quiet transformation. The Snake does not chase attention. It observes, adjusts and sheds what no longer works. That symbolism landed with surprising accuracy across the property sector.

Early January has a way of revealing the truth. Not about the market, that takes longer, but about the people operating within it. Within the first working days of the year, patterns emerge quickly. Some professionals arrive with calm direction. Others arrive with noise. Some teams move forward with quiet confidence. Others appear busy without appearing settled. This difference is rarely accidental. January does not reward enthusiasm on its own. It rewards pre

The first day of the year carries a certain expectation in real estate. Fresh starts. Renewed energy. A sense that momentum can be switched on simply because the calendar has changed.

The final day of the year often invites reflection in real estate. It is tempting to treat it as a clean break, a moment where one year ends and another begins with a fresh slate. In practice, the market rarely works that way. Very little resets overnight. What tends to carry forward are habits, perceptions and positioning.

Australian prestige agency Whitefox has confirmed its entry into the Dubai market with a target of $500 million in first year sales, signalling a new era of ambition for Australian real estate brands operating at the top end of the market.

If your business or network didn’t grow this year, it’s not the market, the fees or the competition. It’s leadership, visibility and strategy. As costs rise and trust tightens, silence is no longer neutral. This is why PR, done properly, separates leaders from those left behind in 2026.
