Property Strategy: Navigating Today’s Changing Market | ek Public Voices

In this episode of ek Public Voices, Karam Singh, Managing Partner of ek Private Advisory, sits down with Salvador Huetos, Partner at Lydian Private Office, for a thoughtful discussion on the evolving role of broking, property strategy, and client relationships in today’s changing environment.

Drawing from his experience across major institutions including St George and through the development of Lydian Private Office, Salvador shares insights into how service models have shifted from large banking environments toward more personalised, integrated solutions designed for increasingly complex client needs.

As interest rate movements, inflation pressures, and global uncertainty continue to shape market behaviour, this conversation explores how clients are responding, particularly within property markets, and how strategies are evolving across residential and commercial asset classes.

The discussion also touches on:

• How clients are reacting to interest rate changes and economic uncertainty

• The differences between large banks and boutique service models

• Property strategy trends across residential and commercial markets

• The role of brokers in intergenerational wealth transfer

• Why Australia continues to attract global capital as a stable destination

• Structuring lending solutions for clients holding assets across jurisdictions

• The growing role of AI in broking and financial services

• How boutique firms differentiate themselves in a crowded financial landscape

With increasing cross-border movement of capital and families navigating multi-jurisdictional financial lives, this episode highlights the importance of clarity, structure, and long-term thinking when making strategic decisions.
