The Peer Review
THE PLACES, SPACES & FACES OF YOUR COMMUNITY
The first quarter of the year always feels a little different. There’s a sense of momentum building as Melbourne’s property market finds its rhythm.
So we’ve captured it all in the latest edition of The Peer Review.
This issue opens with Olympic racewalker Jemima Montag – someone who understands what it really takes to go the distance. That same spirit carries through to Andrew Maver, whose English Channel swim proves that ‘ordinary’ can be anything but.
Closer to home, we take you behind the scenes of what our team really gets up to on a Saturday night (it might surprise you). Then, we point you towards Levi Murrumbeena – one of those local spots that becomes part of your weekly routine.
If you’re new to the property game, we’ve also broken down the key terms every first-home buyer should know.
And of course, our Sales, Property Management and New Projects teams are back with their take on the market after Q1 – what’s shifted, what hasn’t and where things could be heading next.
Have a read, take it in and if something sparks a question – we’re always here for a chat.

Taking it all in her stride: Olympic racewalker Jemima Montag’s story
If you’ve spent any time along Beach Road, you may have seen her. Jemima Montag, deep in a training session, moving with focus and precision as the kilometres tick by. Beside her, Jemima’s mum rides along on a bike, carrying her gear and keeping her company. It’s a simple image – but it says everything. Because behind every elite athlete is a story of balance, belief and the people who support them along the way. Image: Australian AthleticsOut and about: Our team’s Saturday night vibe
You can tell a lot about a person by the way they spend their Saturday night. Do they want to lose themselves in the energy of a packed dance floor? Or do they prefer a cosy night in with a good book? We asked our team exactly that. And while their answers may differ, one thing’s for sure: we certainly know how to make the most of a weekend!‘The lovable rogue’: Meet Jeremy Rosens
With nothing but a school bag slung over his shoulder, a 10-year-old Jeremy Rosens set off from home with a bold plan: to get a head start on life. Five hours later – and after causing no small amount of panic for his family – he returned, slightly less convinced after discovering his packed snacks weren’t quite up to scratch. Still, even a loving family and a charmed upbringing couldn’t slow that early ambition. Today, as Director of our St Kilda office, Jeremy is still chasing growth, always looking for what’s next. We caught up with him over coffee to find out where that drive really comes from.State of Play: Recent sales, key suburb data, market insights and so much more

What does it take to swim from England to France? For 55-year-old Andrew Maver, it’s got nothing to do with bravado or bucket lists. It’s sparked by a need for a challenge and supported by a lifelong love of water. We caught up with Andrew to unpack everything that went into his recent trip across the Channel: endurance, doubt, jellyfish… and what really carries you across 49 km of open sea.So, what are you waiting for?
