BNI Rising Tide - Brisbane

Last week's Feature Presentation put the spotlight on Charlie O'Brien from Bianca Stubbs Real Estate.

Charlie walked us through his process for buyers and sellers, and shared a POV that stuck with the room: priced right sells, priced hopeful sits.

Worth noting, this is Charlie's own take rather than a rule for every property. But his numbers back it up. In the last 12 months, he's sold 75 properties, averaging $1.1m per sale, with properties spending just 19 days on the market on average. (Source: Domain.com, 12-month period to 29 September 2026)

If you're after a real estate agent who knows his numbers, Charlie's worth a conversation.

Tomorrow's Feature Presentation is with Damien Chrzanowski from Pulse Health & Wellbeing.

Damien is a physiotherapist who helps organisations move workplace health from a compliance checkbox into a real business asset through ergonomic assessment, injury prevention, and rehabilitation coordination.

His take: "I transform workplace health from a cost centre into a competitive advantage."

Fewer injuries. Better morale. Lower WorkCover claims. That's what happens when it's done properly.

Damien's looking to connect with:

🤝 HR Consultants
🤝 Insurance Brokers (Workers Comp)
🤝 OHS/WHS Consultants
🤝 WorkCover Providers
🤝 Employment Lawyers
🤝 Business Consultants

If that's you, or someone in your network, bring them along.

BNI Rising Tide - Brisbane meets every Wednesday, 6:45 am to 8:30 am, at Pacific Golf Club.

Do you test your big decisions before you risk them, or hope for the best?

That was the question our own Elisa Hutson (Your Marketing Machines ) put to the room at her Feature Presentation.

She walked us through a real client story. A $750,000 decision! Before a single dollar moved, Elisa's team ran it through their decision support tool and found shifting legislation, a shrinking market, and real competition waiting on the other side. The verdict was no go, and that $750K stayed exactly where it belonged, in the client's pocket.

Her approach in three words: Analyse. Strategise. Advise.

It's exactly the kind of insight we love seeing shared inside Rising Tide, real expertise, offered before a single sales pitch.

Elisa also put a call out to the room for a few connections she'd love an introduction to:
✅ Business Coaches
✅ Financial Advisers
✅ Accountants
✅ Bookkeepers
✅ Business Brokers
✅ AI / Tech Innovators
✅ App Developers
✅ Website Developers

If that's you, or someone in your network, we'd love to make the introduction.

🚀 If you'd like to experience BNI Rising Tide for yourself, we'd love to welcome you as a visitor.

🎤 Feature Presentation: Charlie O'Brien — Bianca Stubbs- Real Estate Agent

Three years in real estate, and the numbers already speak for themselves.

Over the past 12 months, Charlie's helped close 100 properties at a median price of $1.03M, with homes moving in a median of just 12 days on the market. That track record has earned him a perfect 5.0-star rating across 60 reviews.

Tomorrow, we're getting to know Charlie and the work behind those numbers.

Charlie's looking to build referral partnerships with people who support buyers, not just sellers, especially:

🏠 Buyer's agents
💰 Mortgage/finance brokers
📈 Property investors
📊 Financial advisors/wealth planners
⚖️ Conveyancers or property lawyers
🔍 Building & pest inspectors
🧾 Accountants
🌏 Immigration agents
📦 Removalists

If that's you, or someone you know, come along and meet him.

Join us Wednesday 6:45–8:30am at Pacific Golf Club, Carindale.

🎉 $1,129,925 in closed business over the past 12 months!

That's Givers Gain® in action.

Every referral passed. Every one-to-one booked. Every relationship built in this room.

It all adds up to real business for someone in it — because our members give first, and trust that it comes back around.

🙌 To everyone who made the introduction, kept the promise, and showed up ready to give before asking — thank you. This number belongs to you.

And we're not stopping here.

🎯 Our next chapter goal: $2,000,000 in closed business.

Getting there won't come from trying harder on our own. It'll come from doing more of what already works:

🤝 Building trusted relationships
🔗 Developing real referral partnerships
🌱 Growing a network where people are known, liked, and trusted

"What do plumbers and doctors have in common? We both bury our mistakes." 😂

That got the laugh it deserved at Dan Cummins' Feature Presentation last week.

But behind the joke is a business that's been running in Holland Park since 2000 — licensed across plumbing, drainage, gas fitting, and QBCC supervision.

Dan Cummins from DC Plumbing covers it all:
🏠 Homeowners — tap repairs, blocked drains, hot water systems
🏢 Commercial — office fit-outs, grease traps, backflow testing, hydraulic engineering liaison

Twenty-six years in one trade says something on its own.
So does training five apprentices along the way.

👋 Thanks for a great session, Dan!

🚀 If you'd like to experience BNI Rising Tide for yourself, we'd love to welcome you as a visitor.
