Some of our favorite quotes from the show:

“I used to jokingly say in Sydney there are some houses that have magnificent views of the Sydney Harbour and the bridge and other houses on the other side of the street that have magnificent views of the houses that got magnificent views of the Harbour and bridge.” – Michael Yardney
“The money market, the big money, believes interest rates are going to fall at the end of this year and fall three times into next year. The money market is all the big institutions who are hedging their money.” – Michael Yardney
