For those who aren't aware, we have moved into the world of podcasting!! The Retirement Living Your Way podcast is available on most services and we hope you find them interesting. It's a bit of fun for Troy and the team and it gives us the opportunity to talk in more detail on the issues facing clients. A big shout out to 4CRB 89.3FM for their support in recording each episode.

In our latest Retirement Living Your Way podcast, Greg Black and Troy Theobald from RFS Advice speak with Paul Harrison from Kollosche about what retirees should consider before selling the family home, including current Gold Coast property market conditions, realistic pricing, preparing the home for sale, auction versus private treaty, and the importance of having a clear process.

If you or someone in your family is thinking about downsizing, moving closer to family, simplifying life or releasing equity from the home, this conversation offers practical insights to help approach the decision with more clarity and confidence.

Listen to the full episode: Selling Property in Retirement: Downsizing, Market Conditions and Preparing Your Home for Sale.

This week we had the pleasure of hosting “the changing landscape of care in 2025” seminar with 4CRB 89.3FM.

We met so many lovely people over the morning and it was a great opportunity to explain the upcoming changes to home and aged care. Our care expert, Belinda Veriton, did an amazing job and everyone walked away with a clearer understanding of the changes. Belinda has an incredible mind and is a true star which was clearly on display!!

Troy Theobald provided a snapshot on what’s been happening with markets and some of the mistakes he sees being made. As host of the 4CRB Retirement Living Your Way segment each month, it was clear a number came to meet Troy in person.

A big thank you to Debbie Sage and the team from Attwood Marshall Lawyers who provided the listeners with relevant and very interesting information on Wills and Estate Planning. The team were great to deal with and Debbie was fascinating to listen to. 🙏

We were lucky to have Colin Balewski from 4CRB host the Q&A - plenty of questions. We love working with 4CRB and appreciate their support and community spirit, so it was only right we got Colin on the stage!!

So proud of the team…
