HOW I MET MY BROKER: Buyer’s Agent of the Year 2026 – the Simon Loo blueprint

15 MAY 2026 By Robyn Tongol 1 min read Investor Strategy

Most investors freeze when the market turns uncertain, but waiting for it to feel safe means you’re already too late. Simon Loo built his portfolio by doing the exact opposite – here’s the blueprint.

On the How I Met My Broker podcast, hosts Hung Chuy and Liam Garman sit down with Simon Loo, who won Buyer’s Agent of the Year – Residential Investment at the inaugural Australian Buyers Agent Awards, to outline the strategy that helped him scale through uncertainty while others sat on the sidelines.

Loo reveals how his early investing mistakes pushed him towards a fundamentals-driven approach focused on supply, demand, and buying below replacement cost.

The trio breaks down how he capitalised during COVID-19, targeting overlooked markets while fear kept most investors inactive.

Chuy also reflects on his own lessons from off-the-plan investing, reinforcing the importance of strategy, timing, and surrounding yourself with the right experts.

 
 

The trio agrees that investors who build real wealth aren’t waiting for confidence to return; they’re acting before everyone else does.
