PROPERTY powerhouse and Luxe Listings Sydney star Gavin Rubinstein says the real estate industry will go through a major shake-up as the market turns.
“A lot of agents who have come in over the past two to three years and have seen an easy listing and easy sale situation are going to get a real metaphoric punch in the mouth,” said Mr Rubinstein, who founded the recently rebranded TRG agency.

“I think it will clear out the industry.
“The difference with me is I cut my teeth through the GFC.
“In 2008 I learnt my skill set and have perfected my craft for times like this.”
Mr Rubinstein, who was on the Gold Coast on Monday for Ray White’s Connect 2022 conference, is a leading agent in Sydney’s Eastern suburbs and a regular top performer for the Ray White Group.

Despite predicting an industry shake-up, the 34-year-old who started his career with Ray White as a 19-year-old, said he wasn’t worried about a market shift.
“I can’t necessarily control what the market is doing but in a new climate I can control running a flawless process for my clients to make sure I get them the most amount of money,” said Mr Rubinstein, who returned from a holiday in Europe over the weekend.

“There are always natural reasons for a property to trade.
“It’s too big, too small, an unfortunate death in the family, or financial.
“There’s many reasons that are not dictated by the market that will create a property transaction.”
Mr Rubinstein’s TRG agency last month dropped its Ray White branding but will stay part of the White family.
“For me it’s just about exploring a passion I’ve always had for marketing and branding,” he said.

“This was a solution (Ray White Group managing director) Dan White and in particular myself came up with to allow me to stay connected to the White family which is a relationship I really value.
“It also gives me an ability to create my own brand specifically targeting luxury property which I’m passionate about.
“I’ve got this crazy taste for challenge and feel like whenever I’m persistent and focused on what I want and have that relenting approach to getting it, I usually do.”

As well as penning multimillion-dollar deals, the property whiz and reality TV star is gearing up for the launch of season three of Amazon Prime Video’s Luxe Listings Sydney after filming finished last year.
“It was tough, there was no life outside of work,” he said.
“Mid-take my phone would ring and I always pick up my phone.
“One time I was in the car and a film crew was in there and a deal was crashing as I was talking.
“I got outside the car and got a little but emotional.
“The guys were a little bit stunned.”
Ray White Connect 2022 conference.
Ray White’s two-day Connect 2022 conference kicked off at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition on Monday with almost 3000 members coming together from across Australia, New Zealand and Indonesia.
