Adrian and Candice discuss the reasons for moving the business to d.fine real estate.After nearly 4 years working under the Keller Williams umbrella, the business has taken a strategic shift to work with d.fine in order to provide an even higher level of care for clients and their properties. As the title suggests, it is all change but no change. 90% of what they do remains the same. The strong ethics and culture of the business and the way the client is the absolute priority in everything that is the same. This will just fine tune things and create an even greater marketing presence for client's properties as well.There is also a brief discussion on the election and how that may impact the property market.

Adrian decided it was time to get to know Candice a little more and  what  better way to do it than share it with our podcast friends. In a bit of a more light hearted pre Christmas podcast (no sleigh bells were used in the recording of this podcast) some of the answers are enlightening and often amusing! It shows just how well they work together too.With everything from food, music, her favourite Christmas movie, the property market and superpowers!Candice will be turning the tables on Adrian in the New Year.

Adrian hands the hosting duties over to Candice as she explores the reasons why clients have instructed us to buy a property for them. Not every property is on market or on the property portals. Having someone with local knowledge, property experience and who is looking after your interests and negotiating for you as the buyer are very compelling reasons.

Adrian chats with Claire Farley from Nichecom who do all the photography for him, on why a professional photographer is so important. Iphones have amazing cameras but they are still not to the same level as those used by a professional, chosen specifically for taking property photos. And even if a keen estate agent was given the very best equipment, it does not turn them into a photographer. Adrian could be given Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes F1 car but it doesn't turn him into a Grand Prix driver.They chat further about the range of videos to capture interest from different buyers, the use of drones, extension poles and what impact AI will have on a creative industry.

Adrian talks to Jo Colwell of GP Tax about everything to do with the taxation of property. There is a lot more to learn that Bill Murray's ice cream explanation to a child.  By choosing when and how you buy and sell a property, you may be able to limit your tax liability. That makes this podcast well worth listening to.

What can you do to prepare for market and speed things up? Can we change the system?Listen in as the light hearted discussion brings out some key issues and answers a number of questions posed.

Adrian is joined by Mike Roberts of Pennymatters to discuss some of the financial issues involved with downsizing.  After last week's episode dealing with the more emotional and practical issues, they look at how a move can be financed and the important issues to be taken into account in order to prepare for the move.

Candice and Adrian look at the issues involved with downsizing your home. It is such a good idea for so many people and yet it often gets stalled and frustrated by issues along the way.   We shed a bit of light on these to help you and in the next episode Adrian meets a guest to talk about the financial side of things.
