"The Cheeky Aussie Who Started the Global
We Buy Houses Movement (back in '89)"
“Dallas’ 1989. One Aussie, one notebook, and one question:
“What if property wasn’t about money, but about structure?”
While everyone else queued up for mortgage ‘approval,’ I was sketching deals on naplins – swapping cash for creativity, banks for brains, and red tape for relationships.
They called it crazy. I called it structured thinking. I showed buyers and sellers how to use time, terms, and psychology to slice through barriers most thought permanent
“You’ll figure out what works by learning what doesn’t’.”
That single idea grew into a movement helping thousands buy sell and negotiate property. What looked impossible on Monday became done by Friday’.
The $18M lesson (yes, it really happened)
Mistakes teach more than victories ever will – an 18 million civil fine tied to my early days in marketing, the media referred to as the world’s most expensive book. “Most would try to bury it. I owned it. That chapter taught me about risk, clarity and integrity must always sing together and being civil, a long time resolved.”
Why you should listen to me now!
I’ve taught thousands around the world how to structure deals whilst building a global brand with my focus today on structured confidence, not shortcuts with every method refined so you can use them legally, ethically and profitabably.
Founder of We Buy Houses AI and The Subliminal Science Method
From Property to Psychology, The Subliminal Science Method.
My Real Estate Secret Weapon was
Subliminal Science— a psychology-driven way to influence and negotiate without scripts, without chasing, and without force. Forget arm twisting. This is persuasion without the push —so smooth it feel like money chasing you, not the other way around..
I don’t convince people; I let people convince themselves. When they own the idea, they own the outcome.
That’s how I created transactions that stuck – no pressure, no broken promises, just smiles and signatures. I’ve spent decades decoding how people really make decisions. Speak to their subconscious and guess what? They’ll close the deal for you. (Hint: it’s not what comes out of your mouth — it’s how the whole moment feels.)

I even Snuck my way into these Best Sellers
“Somehow I snuck my cheeky grin into a couple of best sellers Body Language (18 million copies sold!) and Talk Language.
Turns out 93% of communication isn’t what you say – it’s timing, tone and knowing when to shut up and smile Just suppose you smiled at the right time, said less but got more…how would that change the way you do business?”
Whether you’re in business or sales, I’ll give you tools you can use right now—no stiff lectures, no fluff, just straight talk with a wink.
I’ve learned the best deals walk past your desk twice a week. Don’t stress about “finding” them—use what’s here and you’ll trip over them while everyone else is staring at their shoes. If the bank says no to funding it? Good. They’re boring anyway—let’s find another way.
FAQ
Were you really fined?
Yep, guilty as charged. I copped an $18m fine in Australia – It was a civil fine like an expensive speeding ticket but it did provide me with the worlds most expensive book launch. painful? Sure. Valuable? Absolutely. It taught me lessons that money usually cannot buy (unless your me) In a prefect world, you’d pay for education once…I paid twice but no worries, I’ll show you the lessons without the price tag
What do you do now?
I coach, speak, and train people in subliminal science, influence, and negotiation and body language worldwide for marketing speaking and businesses working with limited resources. Think of me as the Aussie who teaches you how to BBQ a feast out of the scraps everyone else throws away.
Do your methods still work today?
Absolutely, if anything they work better now. Why? Becasue the world has become more scripted, more rigid, and more desperate for someone to zig while everyone else zags.Just suppose you stopped following the crowd for once – how would that make you feel?
Did I read somewhere you went bankrupt?
Nope —Years back the government made a clerical mistake, declared me bankrupt, and then annulled it a few months later. But the correction never got the same press as the headline. So if you Google me, you might still see the “bankrupt” story without the happy ending.
