  Speaker 1: Cam and Renee's Real Estate Show on Mix 106.3. Step
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: into stylish, low-maintenance living in Canberra's inner north. Deberg by
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: JW Land. Well, Cam, I always enjoy it when we
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: do the Mix 106.3 Real Estate Show together, but I've
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: got to say, this last show that we did, I
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: enjoyed it especially. Like, I just really loved the people
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: we spoke to and the topics. I just really enjoyed it.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: And there was one interview in particular that I know
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: that you loved, and we'll speak about it in a
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: moment or so, but you love your Renault shows, don't you?
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Yes, and so we're happy to be able to chat
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: about these again for our podcast. And Big Little Renault
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: is a new property show. I'm always interested in new
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: ones that are being added to the mix.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Starring Jenny Edwards from here in Canberra. We've had her
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: on the show before. She's from... lighthouse architecture and science,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: and she's well and truly part of this show, for sure.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, very much so. She's led the way on this one,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: so we've got the big pilot episode happening. It's a
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: little place on Holder, in Holder.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Budget of around about $ 50, 000, and the things that she's
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: done to it, Nan... they're going to take it around
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Australia and find some houses and sort of reno them up.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, which is so cool. And we love that Canberra
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: is featured in the pilot episode. We spoke to Steve
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Lowe from Agent Team Canberra about off-market listings and how,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: you know, it seems like it's a bit of an
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: exclusive club and we learned how anyone, you or I
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: or whoever's listening, can actually be part of that club.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and how good it can be if you can
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: start negotiating off-market.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Yep, absolutely. And we checked in with Holly Komorowski from
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Home by Holly.com about real estate rebranding and her journey
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: with rebranding.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Very interesting to hear. And of course, those in and
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: around the know when it comes to branding and marketing,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: PR and media, it's like, you know, everything is, there's crossover,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: but they've all got their own individual meanings. And so
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: when Holly was speaking, rebranding is not just about changing
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: a logo and not just about change. It goes so
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: much deeper than that. And Very interesting to hear someone
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: who is doing this day after day what a rebrand
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: means and what a brand means as well.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely. So that was another really good chat.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, thanks to JW Land. That is the podcast. It's
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: all ahead of you. Before we get to that, though,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: let's do this. Mix 106.3's Property Tip of the Week
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: brought to you by Lister.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Your uncle's opinion isn't a property valuation. Before deciding on
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: a price, look at recent sales, not just what people
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: think your home is worth. This tip was brought to
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: you by Lister. Well, Cam, when you hear the term
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: off-market listing, I don't know about you, but I kind
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: of think, oh, it's a bit, you know, secret Sally
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: type thing? Like, do you need to be part of
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: an exclusive club to, you know, get the scoop on
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: these places?
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Or can anyone just kind of find out about them?
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: And so when I first heard of the term, it's like, well,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: why or how does that work?
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Why would you have an off-market listing when you're trying desperately,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: in many cases, to.
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: Sell your house?
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: And I'm sure there is a rationale behind it all.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: And the man who can give us that, Steve Lowe,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Director at Agent Team Canberra.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: Steve, good morning.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Good morning.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: Good morning.
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: And you're right, Renee, there is an exclusive club.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm not a member of it. So I'll ask
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: you in a moment, how do I become a member
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: of that? But first, let's just give people the picture
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: of what is an off-market listing.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: The refresher.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: So off-market, I normally call it pre-market because it basically
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: means that an agent has signed an agency agreement with
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: the seller of a home. And generally speaking, whilst it's
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: being prepared for market, working on specific timelines, The agent
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: will then offer it to their database of buyers that
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: might be looking for something similar to that property.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: Okay. Okay.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: And what is the benefit to the seller? Like, do
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: they not have to then go ahead with all the
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: marketing side of things?
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so there's a couple of benefits, and that is
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: number one is that you could save some significant costs.
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: We've sold homes recently where we had quotes of about
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: $ 50, 000 to do all the renovations that we should do
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: to it to make it really marketable. Instead, we sold
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: it pre-market because it meant the owner didn't have to
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: spend that kind of money, and the net result was
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: probably higher by selling it pre-market than on-market without the risk.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: All right, so you've given us a great explanation and
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: a good sort of example there. So how do you
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: find these properties other than being on someone's data list?
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: So if you're hunting in a certain area, like Higgins,
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: for example, I sell about 20 homes a year in Higgins.
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: If you want to find properties that we've got coming
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: soon to market, you connect with the agent selling the
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: most amount of properties in that area and you tell
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: them specifically what you're looking for.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: And so then you're on that agent's radar. So then
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: you're part of the club.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: You're part of the club.
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: You made it in.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: Okay. All right. All right.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I get it now. And Steve, is there anything people
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: should be cautious of when considering an off-market listing or
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: not really?
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: From a buyer's point of view?
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: Well, I guess from a buyer's point of view, when
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: it's pre-market like that, you're kind of relying on your
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: own research and the price that the agent and the
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: seller are kind of wanting rather than market value, which
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: is when you're on the market and you've got other interests.
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: So you've got to be pretty sure on your numbers.
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: But really, other than that, no, there's nothing to be
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: concerned about.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: And how often is this happening for you? Like what
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: rough percentage would you say of your sales are done
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: this way?
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: I literally sell 20 a year before I hit the market.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: So it is happening fairly often.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Well, people need to go and check which agents are
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: selling in the suburbs they like and getting contact.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I sort of really like the area. We sold some
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: property earlier this year that was outside of Canberra. And
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: this was the exact advice that I received as well.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: In the area that we were selling our property, Go
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: find the number one agent and just reach out to
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: that person. Make a relationship.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Get in the club.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: And it worked.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Get in the club.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Yes, indeed.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Steve, that's really interesting. Well, thanks for giving us the
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: inside scoop there and everyone listening as well. And have
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: a great weekend.
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: Thanks, guys.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Cheers.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Steve Lowe, Director at Agent Teen Camera there. Well, Cam,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: we know that I love my property shows. Whatever it is,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Grand Design, Selling Houses, Selling Sunset, the whole spectrum. I
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: love it all.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: You'll sit down with your... Is Jimmy James into it?
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: He's not into, like, the Selling Sunset style ones where
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: it's just a lot of arguing that goes on.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: Mm-hm.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: But he does like.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Because I feel those shows tarnish all the other shows.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Well, no, I still am able to enjoy them all.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: But I see what you're saying. But, you know, he'll
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: still very much get into, you know, your grand designs,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: selling houses, all those types of ones where there's not
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: such arguing and drama that goes on. But Big Little
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Reno is a new property show that is coming on.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: So I'm excited to add another one to our list.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: And Jenny Edwards is part of it. We've spoken to
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Jenny on the show before. She's Director and Scientist at
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Lighthouse Architecture and Science. Jenny, good morning.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Great to be with you, Renee. I so hope you
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: love this show as much as the others.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: I will.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, no doubt about that, Jenny. I haven't even seen
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: it and I already know that I'm going to. Tell
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: us about the show and how it all came about.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: So Big Little Renault, there's a few clues in the
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: title there. The little refers to small budget and the
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: big is about the big impact you can actually have
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: with a tight budget. So the aim of the show
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: is to demonstrate to people that you can with a
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: smaller budget, we spend a max of $ 50, 000 on each house,
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: you can transform it in terms of comfort and energy efficiency,
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: but also some basic aesthetic upgrades. So it's pretty interesting
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: and different to other things out there. And it came
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: about because of my involvement. I've been doing this sort
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: of work for 18 years. I'm passionate about retrofitting houses,
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: but I also do the bigger architecture projects. And there
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: was another show called Renovate or Rebuild, and I had
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: done some segments in that. So a couple of years ago,
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: after doing those segments, the producers of that show reached
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: out to me and said, we've got an idea about
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: doing it a different format. And I said, oh, wow,
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: that would be great. But it takes a while to
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: get all the ducks.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: In a row.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: So we're finally here.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: So there's a couple of things out of that. Number one,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: are you the star? Do you run, you do all
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: the episodes?
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Is it you?
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Yes, I will be in every episode, but I have
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: two co-presenters. So I'm the building scientist and the wise,
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: fun old lady, and then I have two much younger sidekicks,
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Tamara Voss, who is a fantastic electrician, and then Matt Menantelli,
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: who is a very experienced builder who has actually been
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: the winning builder on the block twice.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: Oh, okay.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: How cool. Yes.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: All right, we spoke to you a couple of weeks
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: ago about renovating old guvies here in Canberra, old government homes.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: So is it similar because you're doing one in Holder
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: for the first episode?
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: Is that right?
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Is it a similar sort of structure of property?
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: It is slightly different. This one's a 1972 home, which
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: I love 1972, the year I was born.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: But it is a double brick construction, whereas most of
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: the X-Govies are brick veneer. But other than that, it's
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: a similar size to an X-Govie, and the bones are
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: generally pretty similar. So you get to see me doing
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: all of the things with the help of lots of
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: other trades.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: That I talked about when we've chatted before. So it
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: might sound boring, but again, the insulation and the draft
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: sealing and all these other things that can have significant impact,
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: you actually get to see how easy and effective they are.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: So the science is there, but it's pretty subtle. And
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: the show is, we've really made it pretty darn fun.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: And I hope people will really enjoy it.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Well, it's one of those things, Jenny, where we've spoken
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: to you on the phone many times. We've been doing
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: this show for 10 years and I haven't actually met
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: you in person, but I'll get to see you, sort
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: of meet you in person when I watch you on
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: the telly. When is the episode? When and how can
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: people watch it?
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: So it's a pilot episode initially and CSIRO are actually
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: doing some social science research on it too. So pilot
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: episode for starters, tomorrow 4.30 on Nine Life. So their
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: lifestyle channel. So Nine Life 4.30, it's a one hour episode.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: And after CSIRO do their social science research, we'll fine
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: tune things perhaps. And then we will film season one
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: early next year and we'll move around the country to
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: different climate zones.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: So, yeah, it'll be super fun.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, you must be super excited
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: about this whole prospect, right?
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: What an adventure.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it is great because I come from a science
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: and a science communication background and I've always been really
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: keen at getting the message out to people that their
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: homes do have so much more potential than they realise
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: and to suddenly realise.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: I'm adding this to my list. I've got it in
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: my diary. Alarm set. The alarm has been set for tomorrow,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: 4.30 tomorrow, Jenny. Well, we'll keep in touch with you
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: as this goes on. We'd love to find out about
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: more episodes and your experience as you film. We'd love
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: to learn more about that. But thank you so much
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: for your time this morning.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: My pleasure. I hope you enjoy it.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: I'm going to love it. I can't wait. Jenny Edwards,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: who's Director and Scientist at Lighthouse Architecture and Sciences. Well,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: can we often see and hear about real estate agencies
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: who give themselves a bit of a zhuzh up, you know,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: a bit of a rebrand to a bit of a refresh,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: which is important, you know, for any business, I would think,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: but we see it happening in real estate quite often.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely. Taking a look from the outside in. And
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: if you have been around for a little while, it's like, okay,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: does what we're doing here And the image that we're projecting,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: is that the same as what it was 5, 10, 15,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: 20 years ago?
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: And real estate's one of those industries that's just forever evolving.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: So I guess you need to be able to keep
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: up with that.
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: Of course.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: In your branding.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: And Holly Komorowski is sales agent at Home by Holly.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: They've been doing a bit of a rebrand over there. Holly,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: good morning.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: Good morning.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Now, look, you recently celebrated your 10-year anniversary. Remind us
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: about making the decision to create Home by Holly and
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: how that all came together.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's right. In 2016, I launched Home by Holly.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: And at the time, it was a real point of difference,
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: I think, in the way that we were marketing properties
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: and communicating to people. I'm female-owned as well, agency and female-led.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: And year on year, we've grown from one to 27. Yeah, wow.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Wowee.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: And so just in our conversations, the idea, and you
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: sort of mentioned that we're going to do a rebrand
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: and a freshener. And so there's a million different definitions
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: of what branding is. And for me, okay, so when
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: we talk about branding, For me, your brand is what
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: people say about you when you're not in the room.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: So what people say about you when you're not in
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: the room. So what's your interpretation of branding, Holly?
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: Look, I agree with you, Cam. We often think of brands,
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: you know, by their words or their colours or their logos,
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: but really brand is about recognition of reputation and what
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: you've built and So for me, it's very much about
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: our people, our shared vision, our goals and our customers
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: and how we treat people and become known exactly for
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: what you say is how people interpret you when they
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: meet you.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: And then for you to sort of radiate that brand,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: you've got to follow up on it. You've got to
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: have those conversations and that becomes more difficult when You
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: said you started off one person 10 years ago. Now
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: you've got 27 different personalities that have to radiate that brand.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: Well, that's right. And so very much so, you know,
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: it goes back to the people and our brand is
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: very much our team and the people that work within
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: the business. And that's part of our culture and there's
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: lots of components. You know, we touched on that last
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: time we spoke about what is the culture of Home
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: for Holly and it's, you know, our approach to not
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: only real estate and marketing, but it's community marketing. It's
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: how we operate as a business. So all those components
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: come together to establish a brand. And so 10 years on,
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: it's been a really fantastic year to celebrate who we
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: are and to look where we're headed into the future.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Do you think the brand or a brand is more
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: important or more critical to a smaller boutique agency than
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: some of the bigger corporate real estate organizations?
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, I guess it's when we're smaller, we have
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: a little bit more control over the brand, so to speak,
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: or the culture of the business in that we can
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: be agile and we can be playful as we have
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: been with our brand refresh and we can make decisions differently.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: maybe more quickly in response to a marketplace. So I
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: think that would be a point of difference. And very
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: much we're localised, so we can, you know, be incredibly,
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: you know, we can resonate with our local community. We
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: live in our community. We're all, everybody in Humber High is,
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: I think, pretty much Canberra born. So we've got a real,
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: you know, affection for the place that we live and affiliation.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: See, even everyone being Canberra born, like that all connects
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: in with the brand too.
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: Doesn't it?
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Tell us, yeah, what are some of the things you've
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: done to refresh the Home by Holly brand?
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: Oh, well, it's been such a fun year. It's hard
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: to refresh a brand that was still strong and incredibly
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: relevant and loved and something that we were emotionally connected to.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: So it was an incredible challenge to actually look at
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: the brand and see what we could do to take
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: it into the next chapter of I guess what we
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: really wanted to do was look at who we want
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: to be moving forward and these conversations sort of inspired
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: a brand refresh and not because we wanted to create
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: something completely new. We just wanted to better reflect who
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: we've become. So you would definitely notice it's been refined.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: There's a new word mark. There's a playful H mark.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: You know, while it's evolved, the pink is the true
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: sort of brand color of Home by Holly, and that's
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: something we recognize for. So, you know, we really doubled
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: down into that pink and have simplified some of the
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: other color waves out of it. And the hearts. I mean,
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: everybody loves the hearts and the sold heart stickers. So
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: we've kept those things that are, you know, part of
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: our personality, but then have had some playfulness with the
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: H and the versatility of how we can be represented
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: moving forward.
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, sounds good. Well, it's been a really interesting chat
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: with you, learning about, you know, how you started and
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: changed and evolved over time. And you're busy at an
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: auction right now, are you?
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Just about ready to go. Yeah.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: Yes, we've got 21 deer and gardens in Reed going
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: to auction now. And I've just snuck across the road
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: sitting in... It's the most beautiful position in Canberra, honestly.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: And we've got a great game of tennis happening in
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: the background here. There's tennis courts in these gardens. And
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: there's a lovely crew of gentlemen having a doubles match. So, yeah, so...
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: You know, it's been wonderful to be able to just
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: touch base with you guys on our brand refresh and
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: our celebrations of our 10th year and thanks for making
• 17:26
