Kollosche Smashes Another Record Price

All good things come to those who wait. Agent-to-the-stars Michael Kollosche has negotiated the Gold Coast’s highest price for a Gold Coast penthouse, fetching $9.5 million for property developer Ron Bakir‘s masterpiece. The Gold Coast Bulletin reports: It was originally put on the market at $12.5 million in 2016, with the price later cut to …

The Spice Den Opens in Brisbane

Casuarina’s famous Spice Den has come north, opening a second location in Brisbane’s 40-storey SPIRE Residences. Spice Den’s fare is Asian-inspired aesthetic with an urban edge. We spent a mouth-watering day filming what makes Spice Den special.

Change. The Painful Decision To End Franchising.

In the early days of property video, it was easy. Given a few weeks of trial and error, you could teach anybody to shoot a basic ‘propvid’. But as video went mainstream, Agents got more and more ambitious with their storylines – pushing some of our franchisees way, way beyond the limits they’d been trained …

McGrath Wrap

This video wraps up the work we’ve done for McGrath since winning the account in 2013, and resigning the corporate gig in November, 2015. We made most of our milestones but take-up on VPA (Vendor Paid Advertising) was disappointing with the market not responding as favourably as we projected to video. This was compounded by …

We Up The Ante to 720. And The Game Begins

Alice in Wonderland. UP to 720. And now. The game begins. Last week, we re-configured what we call our ‘droplets’ and started compressing and uploading our videos in what’s called ‘720’ to the web for streaming. It was absolutely no coincidence we also invested in East Coast servers to deliver faster streaming speeds to our …

The Mighty Slideshow Versus Smart TV

This could also be called “The never-ending search for the NEXT big thing.” A good friend of mine asked me the other day ‘Do you think that’s it for video?’ in the real estate business. The early adopters get restless when they know the rest of the herd is on the way. Video’s indent in …

2011 – A Year in Review

2011 – a Year in Review. When you shoot more than 50 real estate videos a week (just on the Gold Coast) and manage an online video network that now stretches across the world, through multiple time zones, a PlatinumHD Propvid day is one long and remarkable 48 hours. What’s remarkable is the burden of …
