FREEDOM PROPERTY, FY26

A plan to win more of the right agents, and more of the right sellers, and to make FREEDOM the most visible premium name in the market.
For Josh Sherwood and the FREEDOM teamPrepared by LOVRJune 2026
Where we are

A premium brand, built. Now a brand that leads.

The rebrand landed, the content carries a refined and premium standard, and the positioning is clear, trusted insight and a modern, founder-led independent. None of that is in question. FY26 is the reach beneath it, the engine, the targeting and the visibility that turn a respected brand into the one the market follows.

How we built this

Before a word about the plan, we did the work.

We read the whole Brisbane and Bayside market, both the transaction side that drives sellers and the recruitment side that drives growth.the full market
We studied what content and marketing is actually winning in this exact field right now, with live data.verified
We mapped where the audience already responds to FREEDOM, and the formats that pull the most.your own numbers
We mapped the engine end to end, from first touch to a lead in your hands.one system
Nothing here is a hunch. All of it is evidence we went and gathered, pulled fresh in late May.
The plan, and the lens

Two jobs, run as one engine.

Win the right agentsThe larger prize. The agent market is moving and FREEDOM has the offer the movers want. The job is to reach them, by message and by name.
Win the right sellersA sellers campaign built on the shapes proven to last longest in this market, run so it also shows agents who is winning.
The lensMake the premium positioning visible everywhere, connect every piece into one journey, and become the brand the market looks to. Measured every month.

Two jobs, delivered in four parts: the recruitment system, targeted reach, the culture engine, and the sellers campaign, all run as one marketing function.

01 The window

The market is moving your way.

Agents are on the moveRoughly one in ten agents changes agency every year, and Queensland is second-highest in the country for it. A large, mobile group of good agents is choosing where to go, now.
Sellers are leaning inOne in three Queenslanders is considering selling within twelve months, the highest of any state, and they vet agents on reviews, responsiveness and visibility before they ever make contact.
The openingBoth audiences reward the visible, trusted, modern independent. That is exactly what FREEDOM is. The window is open and it is open now.
02 What is already working

The audience already tells us what wins.

The premium positioning landsThe refined, modern brand voice is exactly right for the agents and sellers FREEDOM wants, and it is already in market.
People engage on the real momentsThe strongest response comes on the listings, the people and the behind-the-scenes. The audience leans in hardest when it sees the work and the faces behind it.
The recruitment story has a stageThe FREEDOM podcast, the careers nights, the peer collaborations, all of it already speaks to agents.

Build on the winners: more founder content, more team and culture content, more testimonial and more video. Do more of what already works, and put real reach behind it.

03 Ready to switch on

The engine is built. It is time to turn it on.

The recruitment shoot is producedThe creatives are shot and resized, ready to run. The content is sitting ready while the paid engine is switched off. That is the fastest win in the plan.
Paid is the open laneA real, managed paid engine, pointed at the careers story, in a field where almost no one runs it well. Switch it on as a coordinated campaign, not a single post.
Open platforms, open groundThere are channels with no FREEDOM presence yet, LinkedIn chief among them, the one place agent-to-agent recruitment actually happens.
Pillar 1 · The recruitment system

Two agents, two messages.

FREEDOM recruits two very different people, the operator who wants to build and lead a team, and the agent who wants to go out on their own without going it alone. Today they hear one blended message. Splitting it into two clear funnels is the single highest-impact move in the plan.

The office-owner funnelBuild and lead a team under the FREEDOM system, the brand and the support behind you. Spoken to ambition and legacy.
The independent funnelGo out on your own without going it alone. FREEDOM's high-split, full-support answer for the agent thinking about the move.
LinkedIn as the recruitment channelJosh's authority pointed at the one platform built for agent-to-agent recruitment.
Pillar 2 · Targeted reach

We do not wait for them. We go and get them.

Most agencies advertise and hope the right people see it. FREEDOM can be deliberate. We build named, filtered lists of the exact agents worth reaching, by suburb, by performance, by how long they have been sitting where they are, and we point the marketing straight at them.

Deliberate, not broadTargeting built on real customer lists, so the spend reaches the right people, not just a postcode and an interest box.
It feeds the funnelsThose lists drive the ad audiences in Pillar 1 and a named outreach list for Josh and the leadership team.
Already part-fundedFREEDOM already pays for a slice of this. Built out, it is the reach no other agency can hand you.
Pillar 3 · The culture engine

The brand people want to belong to.

The best brands in the world do not sell the product, they sell the world around it. FREEDOM has the strongest version of that in the market, the vibe, the culture, the reward, the freedom itself, the systems that let an ambitious person build whatever life they want through a career here. We put that on camera, drawing from the leading lifestyle and founder brands outside this industry, not from other agencies.

The founder channelJosh, Mr Sell, $4B+ in sales, on camera as the recurring face. The build-the-business journey the strongest founder brands run, the personal channel that out-trusts any brand account.
Team, culture and the way it worksWhat working at FREEDOM actually feels like, the vibe, the wins, the reward, and the systems and process that let an ambitious agent build whatever life they want here.
The creative lensDrawn from leading brands outside real estate, so FREEDOM looks and moves like a culture brand, not an agency. More video, more story, more feeling.
Pillar 4 · The sellers campaign

Win the listing, and recruit by winning it.

The longest-running, most proven marketing shapes in this market are the seller appraisal funnel and personal-brand video. We run both for FREEDOM, localised to the suburb with a real local figure, not a generic brand line. Run well, it does two jobs at once, and it carries one message throughout, that to list with FREEDOM is to work with the best agents in the market.

The appraisal funnelA suburb-localised campaign on the shape proven to last over a year in this market, pointed at sellers in FREEDOM's catchments.
Personal-brand videoNamed results and review-led testimonial video, carried by Josh and the leading agents, so the seller sees the calibre of agent they get.
The double effectWinning listings is the loudest recruitment signal there is. The agents FREEDOM wants are the ones watching who wins.
The connected journey

Website, landing page, ads. One journey.

Every enquiry flows into one place, ready to nurtureconnected

No piece works alone. The ad, the landing page and the site are built as one connected journey, so a name that engages is carried all the way through, not lost between platforms. The recruitment landing page is already underway, the connective piece going in now.

The experience

Nobody falls through the gap.

The moment someone engages, the experience is controlled and the interest is never lost. They get an instant response, a nurture sequence that keeps the conversation warm, and follow-up that does not stop until they are reached. The marketing keeps working on them after the first touch, all the way to the point a FREEDOM agent picks up the relationship.

Instant first responseEngage, and an auto-message goes out at once, no lead left waiting.
Nurture and follow-upA sequence that keeps interest alive, and retargeting that keeps reaching them until they convert.
Into your CRM, not a new oneAll of it feeds the real-estate CRM FREEDOM already runs. We control the marketing experience, your system holds the relationship.
How we run it

One team running the whole machine.

Content and videoA premium content engine, weighted to more video, shot and shaped to the month.
Cross-platform, managed as oneEvery channel planned, built and posted on time, each one shaped for itself, the visibility handled as one picture rather than five scattered accounts.
Managed adsThe paid engine built, run and optimised against the targeted lists, reported in plain commercial terms.

Always framed as what FREEDOM gets, never the tools underneath. One team, one connected machine, working with the systems you already have.

The measure

Marketing you can measure, leadership you can see.

Qualified agent leads in, and cost per agent leadmonthly
Appraisal leads in, and cost per appraisal leadmonthly
Reach, engagement and channel growth, LinkedIn its own recruitment channelmonthly
Visibility against the field, are we becoming the brand the market followsin context

One branded report each month, the numbers that matter and a plain recommendation on what to do next. Honest reporting needs access to the ad accounts and analytics, and setting that up is part of getting started.

Every month

The goal

Two numbers the whole engine is built to move.

Qualified agents inThe flow of the right agents, reached by message and by name, into a pipeline you can see.
The cost to recruit oneThe number that turns recruitment from hope into a system with a price you can plan against.

Set against a market moving your way and an offer already built, the goal is simple, more of the right agents and more of the right sellers, every month, with the proof in the numbers. The exact targets are yours to set, and the engine is built to flex to them, lean if the target is modest, scaled hard if it is not.

The investment
One investment for the whole engine. The content, the ads, the targeting and the reporting, together.

This runs as your monthly marketing function, with ad hoc work folded in as the year needs it. We will walk you through the full plan today, fold in your thinking, and bring you the detailed proposal after.

We already know FREEDOM, we already run the social. Now we bring the reach and the system that makes it the brand the market follows. We do not want to be another agency you brief. We want to be your in-house marketing team, without being in-house.
