Testimonials

Tara is fantastic and so passionate about the role of BDM and helping others succeed. I started with Tara on the 6 week program and already feeling so much more confident in myself as a BDM but certain I will still continue to learn more from her. Her  sessions are not just about learning new tricks (which I can tell you she shared many), it is also about rebooting YOU! So don't feel like it's only for new BDM's. We used the 6 weeks to strip back to the basics and reviewed all of our processes and growth techniques.

Thank you again to Tara Bradbury for the great training day that was put on for our business today. I always walk away from this motivated and charging to go!

Tara from the BDM Academy is a brilliant operator & fantastic person to work alongside within the industry. I would highly recommend her to anyone in a business development role whom is after anything from some advice to advanced BDM on training.

The old saying you can't teach an old dog new tricks is certainly not the case when working with Tara from BDM Academy.. Having been in the industry for over 17 years I was looking for one on one time with Tara to run through certain aspects of the BDM role. After just one hour I certainly have a few new scripts, replies and actions to follow. Thank you for your time Tara I look forward to working with you again. Kim Wilson Barry Plant Boronia 

Thank you Tara for making the trek down to Sydney. Our office is now buzzing with ambition, direction and excitement with the new knowledge and opportunity you have shown us. Thank you so much! The Dunn Property Team

When I started as a BDM, I really had no idea where to begin. Connecting with Kasey really helped me understand all facets of my position, and also gave me the tools to be successful. Kasey routinely challenged me to think about how I was approaching leads at different stages, and provided constructive criticism when I needed it most. I worked extensively with Kasey on my scripts, replies, and even the best way for me to structure my day, and daily tasks. Kasey's guidance has been instrumental in my success as a BDM!

I recently was a Keynote Speaker for the Refresh Renew Refocus Tour 2018. Kasey and Tara provide an exceptional training offering to the Property Management industry and I was proud to be apart of the tour. We share the same values in wanting to educate and develop the industry that we are all so passionate about. In speaking to the attendees at the various locations, all were impressed with the take away content they attained from the speakers/panelists and were eager to go back into their offices and implement.

I would just like to thank you for your ongoing support. From the start you have always been there pushing me to get to my targets and consistently providing me valuable information, tips and dialogues to push me even further. I would have no hesitations in recommending the BDM Academy to anyone needing extra support or needing assistance to get to the next level. I am forever grateful for your support Tara and look forward to see what I can accomplish next with your support. https://salisbury.ljhooker.com.au/

Really enjoyed the day and found the guest speakers shared valuable and detailed knowledge of past experiences. I do truly believe I now have the tools now to make my mark and be seen as the investment property specialist in my market place. Truly inspiring day and thank you again!

Tara always manages to motivate you and make the day informative, educational, interactive and loads of fun.  Congratulations BDM Academy team and thank you for a fantastic day with great speakers.

Fantastic to network with some of the best of the best in the industry, find out the latest trends in the market and how to ensure you provide the best possible service to our clients.

After attending many of the BDM Academy events over the last few years I have made the decision after Make Your Mark to joining the coaching program and work with Tara on a monthly basis. She has a true passion for our industry and can’t wait to meet other members.

BDM Academy Make Your Mark 2016 was fantastic and covered everything a BDM needs to know in the modern Property Management word. A great variety of new ideas and reminders of what we already know but haven’t been doing in our day to day duties.

Tara, We cannot speak highly enough of the BDM Academy. Your professionalism, expertise and practical nature should be a shining example to all involved in consulting. We regard you and your team as vital and critically important parts of FROG RENT.  The tailored two day BDM training program you deliver for us, as part of the week long FROG RENT intensive, gives a positive and practical way forward for our franchisees and their staff, in such a critical area of operations for their respective property management businesses.

I would like to take the opportunity of thanking you Tara and the BDM Academy for everything you have done with me for the last 2 years. As a BDM, with your guidance, I have won Regional and National Awards for my role in the industry. The support, guidance, motivation that you and the Academy provide your Ultimate members is second to none. I believe this contact and support has allowed me to achieve outstanding results. The company I now work for is benefitting from this and we have now grown to 365 managements in 9.5 months!!

I really enjoyed the day loved being able to connect with other successful agents in the Sydney market place. The advice that was shared by all speaker was extremely valuable and will defiantly return to future events that are run by the BDM Academy Team. Kate and Dave were fantastic and after watching them in action I can see why they are both so successful. I am so motivated to strive to be just like them and plan to implemented the strategies they shared with us on the day.

I really enjoyed all aspects of the day and felt this event was well organised with a great choice of speakers. I loved in Dave Skow’s session how he shared with us his high and low moments and showed everyone what can be achieved with passion and determination.  

I thought it was very gutsy to role play a listing presentation. Well done Tara and Kasey! The entire day was run very well and cleaver to see the incentives encouraged the attendees to participate and network with others.  

It is fantastic that Tara has designed a conference directed at Business Development Managers and Rent Roll Growth. Well done!

I’ve attended seminars by Tara Bradbury previously and I have to say each time I get something new and exciting to take away to utilise in my role as a BDM.  The best BDM presentations out! For those considering future events you are sure to be impressed.

Great down to earth factual presentation providing motivation and great ideas to implement back into the business.

Quite impressive. Vibrantly presented with great enthusiasm by both Tara and Kasey. The contact was very relevant given our current market conditions. A timely boost to refocus efforts.

Very informative. The session was motivational and has inspired me to do better and a make a difference in property management. I would recommend the BDM Academy to anyone who is looking to grow the property management department.

Tara and Kasey were very interesting and engaging and I found the information presented to be of value and relevant to my role.

I found Tara’s session to be very valuable and enjoying listening to her business development ideas. The content was very relevant to my role and has encouraged me set targets and go the extra mile every day. Tara is an excellent speaker and shows a strong passion for our amazing industry.  My eyes were glued to her throughout the entire presentation and her approach to rent roll growth was very refreshing. Thank you so much!

I just wanted to say how awesome the buddy system worked for me! It was so refreshing to speak to someone in the same boat as me who understood what I was feeling and to share ideas about the same job role! We really connected and have made the plan to re connect in a month’s time and see what’s worked and what we can improve on together as buddies. Thank you so much for the opportunity!!

Tara, I have to say I did enjoy your session last week, informative, useful and entertaining too! I found the ideal week calendar very useful and have implemented that this week, it is working very well for me. The tips you gave for dealing with fee questions and negotiations, Cheap-Fast-Good, I also found to be a great way of putting it, not just for new managements, but also for maintenance and repairs when trying to convince an owner to pay for something. Thanks again for a great day!

I just wanted to drop a note to thank you so much for putting on the seminar yesterday. It was most definitely time well-spent, and I picked up an incredible amount of great information and ideas. Please also pass on my regards to Kate Towerton from Harcourts Hills Living. The session with her was also extremely valuable and it was great to have reinforced the ideas you have shared as it just proves they can work in any marketplace. I was very impressed with both of you and your passion you shared thought the day left me wanting more.

A great day with plenty of good ideas to take back to the agency implement. The break out session helped me gain a understanding of what others are doing well and it allowed me to connect with other amazing agents throughout Australia and New Zealand

Tara, I thoroughly enjoyed the conference on the 18 June. I have had 14 year’s experience in Real Estate however have struggled I guess to work out how to find new leads and now I have a start pointing thanks to you. Your forthcoming approach and passion for the industry was very enjoyable to watch. For anyone seeking advice or guidance around the growth of your most valuable asset I would highly recommend Tara and the team from the BDM Academy. 

Before attending the training session I had watched your DVD and also started reading your book Real Estate Business Development – Grow your Rent Roll. So I found the training excellent because it reinforced the prospecting areas and how best to approach my new position within our agency. I’m looking forward to attending your events in the future and really appreciate your ongoing support.

Tara, your training on the 18th of June was absolutely fantastic, it was one of the best training sessions I have been to in a long time and I have taken away a lot of information. I have already started implementing some new ideas and have very happy to say I have had 100% support from our principal the principal in all aspects you covered. Thank you again and looking forward to attending your events in the future. 

Tara always presents clear, concise information and ideas backed by experience. Her guest speakers are of high quality and not afraid to share their experiences and ideas.

Overall found the session very informative, it's always great to be with your peers to discuss problems or ideas relevant to our specific area of our industry.

Excellent presentation, very clear and simple idea to implement in our agency over the next 12 months. Having Kate join you in the session was fantastic and I really appreciated hearing her fee objection script she used in the past week.

Thank you for a very inspiring session and sharing your past success stories. The timing was perfect and would love to attend another event in the future.

Thought I should let you know that I have won the Harcourts Lower North Island/Wellington Top BDM for the last quarter of 2013 again and I have also won the NZ Harcourts Top BDM for the final quarter of last year! It feels amazing and I just wanted to thank you for all your input and support over the last 12 months. Your inspiration and confidence in my abilities has contributed to my success as a BDM.

Got a lot of good stuff out of your BDM session yesterday you are very easy to listen to.  I really liked your wording.

Tara from the BDM Academy has been a complete eye opener for me as I move forward in my BDM role!

Having been introduced to Tara Milzewski through Harcourts as the State Operations Manager for Property Management in Queensland, she quickly became a mentor figure for me.

Tara Bradbury from the BDM Academy is the only trainer that provides BDM specific training.

I attended the event this morning and had the pleasure of listening to from the BDM Academy speak about the power of words. It was an excellent presentation and certainly provided our team with some great tips on how to communicate more positively to help achieve good outcomes for both their clients and themselves.

Complete Property Training and the BDM Academy recently conducted a joint training event called “Reignite your Property Management Department” on the Fraser Coast, Bundaberg, Mackay, Rockhampton & Gladstone.  During these sessions I found Tara to be very professional and her presentations had the attendees wanting more. After seeing Tara in action first hand I would highly recommend her for future training events and look forward to working with her again very soon.
