In episode eight of Queensland Business Stories, we sit down with Richard Chai - Principal of CPC Properties, a Brisbane agency focused on property management, leasing and sales. Richard's operating belief is simple: agents do not make the decisions for clients; they help clients make informed ones. In a market where tenants, landlords, buyers and lenders are all moving quickly, the quality of that help comes down to speed, clarity and communication. This conversation looks at the real cost of vacancy days, why overpricing rent can reduce the applicant pool, how Queensland break-lease changes have raised the pressure on response times, what lending capacity is doing to Brisbane's upper-market property, where technology helps or gets in the way, and why property investment structure can become a six-figure mistake if it is left too late. In this episode: Why vacancy days and slow decisions can kill rental yield How a $20 per week price change can shift rental enquiries dramatically Why pricing above market can sometimes attract weaker applicant options, not better ones What Queensland break-lease reform means for landlords and agents How borrowing capacity is affecting Brisbane's upper-end apartment market Why CPC Properties has cut back overlapping tools instead of adding more software The entity-structure mistake Richard says investors should get advice on before buying Richard's view on Brisbane supply, construction costs and the Olympic infrastructure squeeze 🔗 Connect with Richard: Website: https://cpcproperties.com.au Phone: 0430 914 167 More from Connected Platforms: 🌐 Website: https://connectedplatforms.com.au 💼 LinkedIn:   / connectedplatforms   Have a Queensland business story worth sharing?
