The Peer Review
THE PLACES, SPACES & FACES OF YOUR COMMUNITY
As we turned the page on spring and dove into summer, Melbourne’s property market kept pace. And was full of opportunity. So, as always, we’ve captured the moment in this latest edition of The Peer Review.
In Issue 21, we go behind the scenes with one of Melbourne’s most respected property developers – and long-time friend of the agency – Richard Stiebel. We drop into Sebby’s Scrolls (yes, it really is worth the hype). And we grab a coffee with Ripponlea’s locals at Spout Café – where we picked up three prize packs to give away to some very lucky readers…
Curious how our team stays cool, calm and high-performing? We’ve also rounded up the wellness routines that keep us firing on all cylinders.
And as always, our Sales, Property Management and New Projects teams share the insights shaping today’s market – along with what to expect as 2026 heats up (literally).
We hope you enjoy the read. If it sparks a question or two, you know where to find us.

Out and about: The health and fitness habits our team swears by
Health looks different for everyone. For some, it’s lifting heavy. For others, it’s walking the dog, hitting the beach or sweating it out before sunrise. But one thing’s clear – at Gary Peer, movement matters. So we asked around: What’s your go-to health or wellness routine? And here’s what some of our team members said.Slow and spectacular wins the race: Meet property developer Richard Stiebel
We’re sitting in the nearly finished living room of Richard Stiebel’s latest Caulfield North development. Sunset Dolomite runs along the kitchen island – the stone he personally flew to Sydney to inspect. The complementary cabinetry and wow-factor windows reflect a builder who never misses a detail. It’s no wonder Richard’s known as one of the best. And today, he’s sharing how he got here. One meticulous project – and one special, long-standing relationship – at a time.Learning by living: Meet Aviv Samuel
What were Aviv Samuel’s favourite subjects at school, you ask? Well, if he had it his way, they would have included travel, weekend markets and family time. Because for Aviv, the most important life lessons came from beyond the classroom. We caught up with him to learn how his unique experiences shaped his path to real estate success – and what he’s learned along the way.State of Play: Recent sales, key suburb data, market insights and so much more

It starts with a question. ‘Is it your first time here?’ Seb, Co-founder of Sebby’s Scrolls, asks a newcomer with a smile. Moments later, through a small kitchen window, he watches as the customer takes their first bite of a classic cinnamon scroll. That face – wide-eyed, joy-filled, speechless – is the reason he does what he does. We caught up with Seb to hear more about the passion behind that small window, and how a late-night idea during lockdown turned into one of Melbourne’s most beloved local spots.So, what are you waiting for?
