For this week’s Broker Daily Uncut, Julian Barnes is joined by Finni brokers Costa Arvanitopoulos and Robert Lee to unpack the risks, the red flags, and the reality of working in an environment where not everything is what it seems.

While fraud remains a small part of the market, recent allegations have brought it back into focus, highlighting how even a handful of cases can damage trust across the industry. From altered payslips to AI-generated documents, brokers are increasingly facing applications that look legitimate on the surface but don’t always add up.

The conversation dives into where responsibility sits when something slips through, the role of aggregators and compliance frameworks, and the practical steps brokers are taking to protect themselves.

Beyond fraud, the episode also explores a shifting property market – from softening auction results and cautious buyer sentiment to the potential impact of negative gearing changes – rounding out a broader look at the pressures shaping broker and borrower decisions right now.
