What does it mean to lead today and shape tomorrow?

I spoke with REB about The Business of Real Estate and why this year’s theme matters so much for real estate leaders right now.

Because leadership is not just about having the answer for where the business is heading next.

It is also about understanding what your people need right now.

The right talent.
The right culture.
The right performance.

That is the focus of The Business of Real Estate this September: bringing real estate leaders together for the conversations, perspective and practical thinking needed to build stronger businesses in the market we are actually in.

It is year 11, and the goal remains the same: to create the most effective, dynamic and impactful real estate leadership conference possible.

Thanks to the REB team for the conversation.

Peter Rollings is back in Australia for The Business of Real Estate ’26.

One of the UK’s most respected real estate leaders, Peter brings four decades of experience at the top of London residential property.

From joining Foxtons in 1985 as one of just 20 employees, to helping grow the business to 17 offices, then acquiring Marsh & Parsons and expanding it from 13 to 25 branches before its £52m sale, Peter brings the kind of real-world experience principals rarely get access to in one room.

At The Business of Real Estate ’26, Peter will share the lessons behind buying, building and reenergising a brand, including the leadership decisions, commercial discipline and hard-earned mistakes that shape a business built to last.

For principals, business owners and leaders thinking seriously about growth, brand and the future of their business, this is one session to watch.

There’s one event on the Australian real estate calendar built for the people leading the business.

The Business of Real Estate 2026 isn’t about motivation. It’s about what happens the Monday after — the decisions you make, the culture you build, and the strategy you execute.

This year’s first speakers include:

✓ Darren Shand — the driving force behind two decades of All Blacks culture.

✓ John McGrath — the founder who reshaped modern real estate marketing in Australia.

✓ Peter Rollings — the former Foxtons CEO behind one of the world’s most talked-about agency brands.

✓ Holly Cole-Havens — the psychologist and executive coach helping leaders unlock higher performance through neuroscience and behaviour.

✓ Stefanie Dobro — building one of Australia’s most distinctive independent agencies from the ground up.

✓ Dean Mackie — challenging conventional thinking around scale, growth and the future of the agency model.

✓ Michael Kollosche — the founder behind one of Australia’s most recognised luxury real estate brands.

…and more speaker announcements still to come.
