When the Market Slows, Smart Agents Get Busier: How to Win Listings in a Tighter Market

Australia’s property market has slowed sharply in 2026. Rising interest rates and changes to investor tax settings have pushed values down for seven straight months and cut sales volumes by around a quarter. For real estate agents, that means fewer listings, fewer buyers and more competition for every appraisal. But a slower market doesn’t have to mean a smaller business. In this article, we look at what’s driving the downturn and six practical ways agents are using MantisProperty to find sellers before their competitors do, make the right calls every morning and build a pipeline that’s ready when the market turns.

The 1 July 2027 Date Every Business Owner Should Know - and How Smart Brokers Are Using It

From 1 July 2027, the 50% capital gains tax discount is replaced for individuals, trusts and partnerships, and the value of a business on that date will matter to many owners whenever they sell. With interest rates at an 18-year high, listings scarce and buyers more selective, that change gives business brokers the best prospecting conversation they’ve had in years. In this article, we explain what’s changing and what isn’t, and how brokers are using MantisProperty to find the owners who are ready to talk, run a 1 July 2027 appraisal campaign and focus on the buyers who are serious.

The Real Cost of Stacking Software on Your CRM

Most agencies on the big CRMs are paying for five or six other subscriptions to fill the gaps. Here is what that stack really costs you - in dollars, in scattered data, and in how many companies are holding your clients' personal information - and how one platform, at a fraction of the price, replaces it.

Introducing Mantis PM: The Property Management App That Works Where You Do

Property management is a job done on site. Routine inspections, entry and exit condition reports, maintenance checks, open homes for vacant rentals - the work happens in the property, not at the desk. But too often the paperwork follows you back to the office. Notes to decipher, photos to match up with rooms, signatures to chase, reports to type up at the end of an already long day.

Introducing Mantis Sales: The Real Estate CRM App Built for Sales Agents and Business Brokers

Most of a sales agent's week doesn't happen at a desk. It happens on a doorstep during an appraisal, in the car between appointments, at the front door of an open home and on the phone with a buyer while you're standing in a driveway. Yet for years, most real estate software has treated mobile as an afterthought - a cut-down version of the desktop system that's fine for looking things up, but frustrating when you actually need to get work done.

Secure Data Rooms for Business Brokers

In business sales, serious buyers expect fast access to accurate information, while brokers must carefully control who sees confidential documents. Managing this balance can be difficult when files are scattered across email threads, cloud drives, or third party services that were never designed specifically for business broking.

Stop Chasing, Start Closing: How MantisProperty’s Automated Workflows Multiply Your Time

Every busy agent or broker knows the feeling: your day disappears into repetitive tasks that don’t directly win new business. You send updates, confirm inspection times, follow up enquiries, nudge for feedback, and try to keep every buyer and seller engaged. It’s essential work, but it eats hours.

It keeps your pipeline warm, your clients informed, and your brand consistent, while you focus on high-value conversations and negotiations.
