## Resource

Buyer's agents are coming under increasing scrutiny over financial advice in the wake of the Dashdot collapse. But it's not all bad news for investors, with backlash building against the government's tax reforms and rate cuts looming on the horizon. After a challenging few weeks for the real estate industry, this episode of Property Buzz, hosted by Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman, explores whether relief could be emerging as yields return to focus and Australia's major banks flag potential rate cuts. The pair discuss how quarantining losses can provide longer-term tax relief for investors, alongside the shifting political landscape shaping property sentiment. They also turn to the property advice ecosystem, including growing scrutiny around unlicensed financial advice and the standards expected of buyer's agents operating in an increasingly complex environment. The discussion continues around the fallout from the Dashdot collapse, and what it signals for the ongoing professionalisation of the buyer's agent industry.
