Happy Father’s Day to all of the fathers I know!
It’s the most underrated job in the world & so important we acknowledge ALL fathers today.
Today I acknowledge my Heavenly Father. 🙏🙌
I remember & acknowledge my earthly father, Edward Bowen- Jones who is in heaven. The most wonderful man & dad.
I celebrate fatherly spiritual figures in my life - like Brian Simmons
& my beautiful “Abba” - Emmanuel / Mimi Alpron at אילה אלפרון who I was blessed enough to meet in 2015.
I am super grateful that the boys have Rodney McEwan as their amazing father who is kind, beautiful and selfless as a Father, & the best husband & life partner I could have asked for.
I’m so excited my eldest son Alec McEwan is about to become a father in a few months also!
To my business coach Josh Tesolin - who has learnt to be present & is now enjoying his new role & for his fatherlike support for his students.
And for all the great men who are dads I know. So many of you!
And happy Father’s Day to all of my clients - you guys are amazing & I honour you all!
Grateful for organisations that have championed fatherhood & have stood up & acknowledged the importance of the role of fathers - especially when there is brokenness in families through divorce - separation.

Real Estate lessons I learnt in the GFC.
by Gaby McEwan. 🏡
Trusting your agent is the most important thing.
When a seller trusts you, it’s easy to get the best outcome. Of course - trust is earnt and not every agent- or person is trustworthy!

Pricing should never be the criteria to choose your agent on. Because the truth is - in a market which has flat-lined or regressed, it is impossible to predict. When there only old evidence or outdated data of property prices, we can be the blind leading the blind. This is again where trust triumphs!

Great service with phone calls to buyers and sellers and establishing trust is again is paramount working in swirling waters of uncertainty and doubts.

Safe hands are SO welcome.
Safe hands and confidence! Working with an established BRAND, and an EXPERIENCED agent- not an order taker who relies only on technology to sell.
Working UNDER a quality principal with years of experience is what helped me during the GFC. I was only 3 years in- but I had access to great older agents who had survived 1990 where some went for 6 months without selling a house.
I learnt the importance of brand recognition. Selling in the GFC was frankly horrible. However, it made me the incredibly resilient agent I am today! And I built an incredible foundation which has led to my many successes and how I work!

Auctions make properties sell or make them saleable!
I learnt to get very very efficient at auctions.

I became very skilled at getting offers !
This took heaps of training and honing.

Vendor management is everything. You can’t do this well if you are overstretched- you’ll burn sellers and churn listings which is what we are seeing now with high volume agents.
Interpreting the market is key to a successful campaign and sale.

There is nowhere to hide in an auction. It’s real and raw - and the truth always is! Dancing behind a private treaty can waste months of being overpriced and chasing the market down.
Sellers, buyers and agents all need to be on the same page- or it won’t be pretty!

I learnt that follow up and encouraging buyers and winning their trust is the most important thing ever.

I’ll share more next week! 🥰

Photo in memory of my beautiful cattledog Freckles who was with me during the GFC & the toughest times, showed up for photoshoots, let me cry on her shoulder and was my best friend in those years. She left us in January this year (2026). Her memory is a blessing.

There’s nothing more satisfying in real estate than getting a sale under the hammer ESPECIALLY in possibly the worst market I’ve seen since the GFC.
And with 2 bidders - ACTUALLY bidding !
I worked freaking hard on this one & was very determined not to lose my 100% auction success rate in Grattan Terrace, Wynnum (4/4 under the hammer in the last 3 years!)…proving great real estate - even a 110 year old cottage with no proper bathroom (!) is saleable in ANY market !

Another interesting fact is that the UNDER-bidder offered $97,000 MORE during the auction than when he tried to buy it prior.
Now PER- lease don’t tell me auctions don’t work..as auction agents work harder than ANY agents & the proof of the pudding is right here.
You don’t know what you don’t know.

Again- thanks Cuz !I hope you enjoyed the Cajun calamari steak with the GMc team afterwards at the Pelicans Nest! Well deserved !
