In episode 29 of Raising the Bar, George Sourris from Empire Legal sits down with George Iacovou, Principal Financial Adviser and Founder of Great Advice, to unpack the financial decisions that shape long term success for Queensland property owners.
After founding Great Advice at just 23 years old, George has spent more than a decade helping individuals, families and business owners navigate investment, superannuation, insurance, retirement planning and wealth creation.
We cover:
- Building Great Advice from scratch: why George walked away from the traditional financial planning model, the lessons he learnt working for AMP, starting a business in his early 20s and how Great Advice grew through trust, referrals and long term client relationships.
- What Queensland property owners get wrong: the financial habits every homeowner should establish after settlement, why automation matters, the role of property in long term wealth creation, investment strategy, negative gearing, superannuation and the conversations property owners should be having before retirement.
- Trust, standards and the future of financial advice: the impact of the Royal Commission, why the number of financial advisers has almost halved, the importance of specialisation, avoiding property spruikers and how consumers can identify professionals who genuinely have their best interests at heart.
George shares practical insights on wealth creation, property ownership, retirement planning and why doing the non-sexy things today can completely change your future.
If you own property, are planning for retirement, building wealth or simply want to make better financial decisions, this episode is packed with practical advice on creating a plan, avoiding costly mistakes and building long term financial security.

In episode 28 of Raising the Bar, George Sourris from Empire Legal sits down with Lara Paholski, CEO of LiveSign, to unpack the biggest regulatory change facing Queensland property professionals in more than a decade.
With AML/CTF Tranche 2 reforms commencing from 01 July 2026, lawyers, conveyancers, accountants and real estate agents will all face new obligations around identity verification, customer due diligence and anti-money laundering compliance.
As the CEO of one of Australia's leading verification of identity providers, Lara has spent years helping property professionals navigate digital identity, fraud prevention and compliance. In this episode, she breaks down what is changing, why it matters and what businesses need to do now.
We cover:
- Verification of Identity (VOI): what VOI actually is, how modern identity verification works, the role of biometrics and government-issued IDs, common fraud risks in property transactions and why secure digital verification is becoming increasingly important.
- AML Tranche 2: what the new anti-money laundering laws mean for lawyers, conveyancers, accountants and real estate agents, how prepared the industry really is and the practical steps businesses should be taking before the reforms commence.
- What it means for buyers and sellers: the additional checks clients can expect, why more questions will be asked throughout the transaction process and how these reforms are designed to better protect consumers and the property industry from fraud and financial crime.
If you work in real estate, conveyancing, law, finance or property, this episode is essential listening ahead of the AML/CTF changes and a valuable guide to understanding the future of compliance in Queensland property.

From walking away from a commercial law career to join the State Theatre Company to becoming the first female and youngest ever CEO of the REIQ, Antonia Mercorella’s journey is anything but conventional.
In ep 24 of Raising the Bar, George Sourris from Empire Legal sits down with REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella to unpack the career pivots, legislative battles and leadership decisions that have helped shape modern Queensland real estate.
Over more than a decade leading the REIQ, Antonia has been behind some of the industry’s biggest reforms - from defeating the controversial land tax proposal, to delivering mandatory Continuing Professional Development (CPD), driving Seller Disclosure reform and modernising one of Australia’s oldest industry institutions.
We cover:
- The journey: how Antonia went from theatre and law to leading Queensland real estate, what her unconventional career path taught her about leadership and why communication, advocacy and adaptability have been critical to her success.
- The fights that shaped the industry: the REIQ’s role in overturning Queensland’s land tax proposal, securing mandatory professional development for agents, leading major legislative reform and fighting for better outcomes for property professionals and consumers alike.
- Raising standards and leading change: Seller Disclosure, Realworks, leadership, housing advocacy and why lifting professionalism, consumer confidence and industry standards remains central to the future of Queensland real estate.
If you work in real estate, law, property or leadership, this episode is a real look at what it takes to influence reform, challenge government and genuinely raise the bar in one of Queensland’s most important industries.

Every year, Queensland buyers settle on properties with hidden risks they never saw coming. From unapproved building work and boundary disputes to title defects and fraud.
In episode 23 of Raising the Bar, George Sourris from Empire Legal sits down with Paul Watkins, General Counsel at Stewart Title Australia, to unpack one of the most overlooked forms of buyer protection in Australian property: title insurance.
With more than 20 years at the forefront of title insurance, legal reform and property risk management, Paul breaks down what title insurance actually is, why so many Australians still don’t know about it and the real life claims that can cost buyers tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.
We cover:
- Title insurance explained: what title insurance actually covers, why it protects buyers for the life of ownership, how it differs from standard conveyancing due diligence and why it remains one of the most under-utilised risk management tools in Australian property.
- Real claims and hidden landmines: the most common title insurance claims in Queensland, including unapproved structures, boundary encroachments, council enforcement action and fraud, plus the real stories that show just how costly hidden property issues can become.
- Raising the bar in buyer protection: what lawyers, conveyancers, lenders and real estate agents need to do better when it comes to educating buyers, managing property risk and ensuring clients understand what their legal representation does and doesn’t cover.
If you’re buying property or working in real estate, this episode is a reminder that protecting your biggest asset starts with understanding the risks most buyers don’t even know exist.

In episode 22 of Raising the Bar George Sourris from Empire Legal sits down with Italian Knight and community icon Mariangela Stagnitti, who has spent over 40 years helping people get on their feet, not just financially, but in life.
Starting as a batch clerk in a local bank branch, Mariangela has built a career grounded in relationships, trust and showing up for her clients across multiple generations.

- The journey: how Mariangela went from a batch clerk to becoming a trusted name in Brisbane’s Italian community and the lessons from her early years in banking that still shape how she works today.
- Empowering women: why she’s so passionate about helping women become financially independent, particularly through property and how she supports those navigating major life transitions like divorce, loss and starting over.
- Legacy and impact: the growth of the Italian Business Women’s Network with over 80,000 members, what it means to give back at that level and how her work has been recognised with Knighthood from the Italian President.

In episode 21 of Raising the Bar, George Sourris from Empire Legal sits down with industry titan and ex REIQ Chairman Peter Brewer to unpack what it really means to lift standards in Queensland real estate.
From building a career that spans over four decades to leading major reform through the REIQ, Peter shares a no nonsense perspective on what’s working, what’s broken and what needs to change.

- The career: how Peter built a brand that stands the test of time, what “raising the bar” actually means from his perspective and the key mentors and moments that shaped his journey from practitioner to industry educator and advocate.
- Industry advocacy and the hard conversations: where Peter’s direct approach comes from, the biggest gaps he still sees in agent training and support and why real change comes down to leadership, accountability and calling out poor behaviour.
- What’s next: where Queensland real estate is heading over the next 3-5 years, the biggest mistakes agents are still making today and what he would do differently if he was starting his career in today’s market.
