Australian Property Talk
Welcome to Australian Property Talk — I'm Redom, a property fanatic. I love sharing stories from the 1000's of investors i represent in my day job at one of Australia's biggest mortgage broking companies, Flint.
I have two brilliant co-hosts who bring a perfect blend of expertise on the economy, property trends and where to buy real estate!
One is a former Treasury economist, Curtis Stewart, who runs FlintInvest - an award winning mortgage broking company for property investors Australia-wide. His officially the smartest person i know, and full of golden nuggets!
My other co-host is Adi Chanda, a man everybody loves, a seasoned buyers agent with a giant property portfolio and fellow property nerd. Adi runs Alaya Property with me, adding in a unique economics driven property strategy that outperforms all the herd following data-driven agents dominating the buyers agency scene in 2025.
