The $100 Billion Favour: How the Tax System Built Australia’s Property Crisis
Alan Weiss unpacks 90 years of property tax policy — the concessions that built Australia’s housing empire, and why the model is breaking down now
In a market this demanding, that distinction is everything.
The Eastern Suburbs has changed. Buyers are more cautious, more informed, and far more selective than they were even two years ago. The gap between a campaign that creates real urgency and one that simply generates activity has never been wider.
And yet most agents are still running the same system — the same scripts, the same process, the same thinking — across ten, fifteen, twenty listings at once.
That’s not how I work.
I take on a small number of clients at a time — because your home deserves focused attention, not a share of it.
When you choose to work with me, I give your property my full thinking. I study the buyers who are genuinely suited to your home. I shape a strategy around your specific circumstances — your timeline, your priorities, what a good result actually means to you.
I manage every part of the process personally. No handovers, no junior staff, no moments where you wonder who’s actually looking after your sale.
After 35 years in this market, I know that the best results don’t come from doing more. They come from doing less — but doing it with complete attention and care.
This is your home. Your move. Your outcome. And from the first conversation to the final settlement, you’ll have me — not a system — working for you.

Alan’s overview of the situation was well-grounded and highlighted the complex market realities behind the government’s ambitions.
