DAYZERO

This week on DAY ZERO, Ben Gaze is joined by Tom Georgiou - Director and Head of Buyer Agency Services at FOUNDIT - to trace a 22-year journey from the "pre-digital" streets of Melbourne to the high-stakes markets of London and Dubai.

From his early days navigating property booklets to purchasing 153 properties in a single year, Tom discusses the shift from solo "hustle" to tech-enabled advocacy. He breaks down why he traded his own successful agency to help build FOUNDIT’s national brand, the "Compass" model for Australian advocates, and how 24/7 interactive platforms are replacing spreadsheets. Tom unpacks the three tiers of market data - macro, micro, and circumstantial - and shares why removing 90% of administrative "clunkiness" is the only way for the modern agent to truly scale.
