  • In Focus: Unlocking movement in the property market with smarter bridging solutions
    Jan 7 2026

    As more Australians look to upsize, downsize, or relocate in a fast-moving property market, bridging finance is emerging as a critical – yet often misunderstood – tool to help borrowers make their next move with confidence.

    In this episode of In Focus, sponsored by Athena Home Loans, we sit down with Athena's chief product officer, Mira Hohn, to unpack what's happening in the property market, why so many Australians feel "stuck", and how better bridging solutions could unlock greater mobility.

    Hohn shares how Athena has been working with brokers to co-create an innovative new product and scenario modelling tool to help brokers and their clients navigate complex buy-sell decisions.

    Tune in to discover:

    • Why fewer Australians are moving – and what's holding them back.
    • How bridging finance can help borrowers buy before they sell.
    • How Athena's new tools and policies are making bridging simpler, fairer, and more flexible.

    And much more!

    Tune in to find out:

    • How she's built her team to settle around $450 million a year.
    • How she structures a multi-office, pod-based team across Brisbane, Ipswich, and Buderim.
    • How AI, automation, and delegation help her manage hundreds of loans a year.

    And much more!
