This episode is an important consumer warning for home buyers and property investors.
Not all buyer’s agents are operating within the scope of their license, and some are providing property, financial, or investment advice they are not legally qualified to give. This can expose buyers to serious financial risk, compliance issues, and costly mistakes.
In this replayed episode of The Property Couch podcast, Bryce Holdaway and Ben Kingsley speak with Melinda Jennison, President of the Real Estate Buyers Agents Association of Australia (REBAA), to unpack one of the biggest risks in the property market today.
You’ll learn:
- What a buyer’s agent is legally allowed (and not allowed) to do
- How licensing works across Australian states — and where loopholes exist
- Why some buyer’s agents are operating interstate without proper local licenses
- The dangers of buyers agents giving financial, tax, or investment structure advice
- Real examples of consumers being impacted by poor or non-compliant advice
- The key questions every buyer should ask before engaging a buyer’s agent
This episode is shared as a community awareness piece to help Australians make more informed, confident, and legally compliant property decisions.

You’ll hear about:
- Brisbane’s outperformance: Why Brisbane continues to better Sydney and Melbourne on headline dwelling growth, and how unit markets here are the national stand-out.
- Segment shifts: The lowest quartile led September quarter gains in Brisbane (+3.7% q/q), ahead of the middle (+3.2%) and top end (+2.6%).
- Supply vs demand reality: Listings are thin while buyer enquiry is strong - we explain why that gap is pushing prices up and where it’s most intense.
- Houses vs units: Houses rose +1.1% in September (Brisbane among the top three capitals for the month); units jumped +1.7% (up from +1.3% in August), +4.7% for the quarter and +12.4% year-on-year.
- Rental market pulse: Vacancy edged to 1.0% (from 0.9%), but rents re-accelerated — houses +5.4% YoY, units +6.4% YoY. Gross yields: houses 3.4% (steady), units 4.3% (down slightly from 4.4%).
- Prestige snapshot: Riverfront and blue-chip suburbs remain buoyant as limited premium stock meets downsizer and interstate demand.
- Practical buyer takeaways: Why trying to “wait it out” can be costly (at a $1m price point, current monthly growth equates to ~$12k), and how local intel helps avoid bidding frenzies and target value.
