25 Hours with Immy Callister & Lisa Novak

The season finale is here and we could not be more grateful. Thank you to every listener and every guest who joined us this year. In this episode Immy and Lisa revisit their favourite moments, the conversations that changed them and the guests who made 25 Hours such a special place. It is a relaxed and heartfelt wrap up of a year filled with growth, honesty and big ideas. Here is to an even bigger season ahead.

A real conversation about how agents get spoken to and how to handle it with strength and clarity. This episode dives into a reality most agents never speak about in public, the moments when people speak to you poorly. Whether it comes from a stressed vendor, a buyer under pressure, another agent or even someone in your own office, the way you are spoken to can shape your confidence and energy more than you realise. We unpack why this behaviour shows up in real estate, how to recognise when a line has been crossed and the simple language you can use to reset the tone without creating conflict. You will learn how to protect your value, hold your boundaries and stay in control even when someone else loses theirs. If you have ever walked away from a conversation thinking, I did not deserve to be spoken to like that, this episode gives you the tools to handle it with clarity and strength.

In this episode we unpack the new rules around underquoting and the real impact they are having on agents, buyers and the market. On paper these changes are designed to create more transparency, although many agents are finding the rules are not as clear or as fair as they are portrayed. We explore why the guidelines feel inconsistent, how the expectations differ from one marketplace to another and the gaps that still leave both agents and buyers confused. You will hear practical insight on how to stay compliant, how to communicate price with confidence and how to protect yourself when the rules shift the responsibility onto you. If you have ever wondered whether these new measures truly solve the problem or simply create new pressure points, this episode breaks it all down with honesty and clarity.

Behind the record-breaking sales and prestige addresses is a man who’s built his success on something rare — humility. Michael Coombs opens up to Immy and Lisa about life beyond the listings, what keeps him grounded, and how staying true to his values has shaped one of the most trusted names in Australian luxury real estate

This is the episode every agent needs to hear. Apple and Google have officially rolled out advanced call screening and it is about to transform the way agents create leads, win business and stay relevant in a world with fewer outbound opportunities. Tom Panos joins 25 Hours for a deep dive into what this means for the industry and why agents who rely on cold calls and old school prospecting will feel the squeeze faster than ever. More screened calls means fewer connections and fewer chances to win a conversation which is why the future belongs to the attraction agent. Tom breaks down what it really takes to build a brand that brings people to you, how to stay top of mind when the phone is no longer the main tool and what true success looks like beyond GCI. This conversation is raw, real, forward thinking and packed with clarity for any agent who wants to dominate in the new landscape. If you are serious about staying ahead of the shift, this is the episode that will change how you build your business.
