'It's a lovely home that's in a great position and is very private. They've not long ago had a baby, so they're upsizing.'
Markovics, a soccer fan himself, has form marketing properties for the Socceroos. He sold a Bondi Beach investment property for former player, James Holland, last year for $1.285m. The agent said selling for sports players is a dream.

Calm, composed Socceroos primed to take down Japan
Socceroos coach Tony Popovic is brimming with confidence Australia can beat Japan for the first time since 2009 and earn automatic qualification for the 2026 World Cup. The arch rivals will lock horns in front of more than 50,000 fans at Perth's Optus Stadium on Thursday night, and there's plenty on the line for the Socceroos. While Japan (20 points) have already qualified for the World Cup, Australia (13 points) and Saudi Arabia (10 points) are locked in a fight for the second automatic qualifying berth. If Australia beat an understrength Japan, it will almost certainly be enough to snare a World Cup berth, barring a huge loss in the vicinity of five goals to Saudi Arabia in Jeddah next Tuesday. The Socceroos' last win over Japan was a 2-1 victory in a World Cup qualifier at the MCG in 2009. Since then, Japan have won six and drawn four of their 10 matches against Australia. Australia are desperate to turn the tables. The Socceroos came close in October, when they snatched a shock lead on enemy territory, only for Japan to fight back for a 1-1 draw. Popovic feels his side is now ready to snare all three points. "When that whistle blows, I'm very confident the players will go out there and execute in a very calm, composed manner, with confidence of winning the game," Popovic said. "I think the growth in development and the way the team has evolved is clear. "We all see that, we understand there is a lot more growth in us, but we are a much better team than we were in October. "We set that as a target to be in this position, that we can qualify automatically. "We just need to finish the job off and we know that we can take a major step by winning. "It's been a long time since Australia has beaten Japan, but I have a lot of confidence that this group can do that." Japan have brought across a youth-laden squad missing the likes of regular stars such as Kaoru Mitoma (Brighton & Hove Albion), Daizen Maida (Celtic), Reo Hatate (Celtic), Takumi Minamino (Monaco), Ritsu Doan (Freiburg), Junya Ito (Reims) and Hidemasa Morita (Sporting Lisbon). Despite that, Popovic is wary of the threat they pose, and is taking nothing for granted. Australia are also missing a host of players, with Jackson Irvine (foot), Craig Goodwin (foot), Mathew Leckie (hamstring), Nishan Velupillay (ankle) and Nestory Irankunda (hamstring) among a lengthy unavailable list.

Australia and the European Union determined to seal trade deal as talks revived
Australia and the European Union have revived talks for a sweeping free trade agreement as the Albanese government aims to respond to a "rapidly changing global environment" on tariffs. Australia's trade minister Don Farrell met with the European Commissioner for Trade Maroš Šefčovič met on the sidelines of a summit hosted by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in Paris on Wednesday, local time. "Both Australia and the EU recognise that now is the time to strengthen our economic partnership, and we're working through the remaining issues to try and finalise the deal," Mr Farrell said. A pact with the region was "about building economic resilience in a rapidly changing global environment," he added. It came as US President Donald Trump imposed 50 per cent tariffs on steel and aluminium imports on Wednesday, leaving America's trading partners reeling from the fresh uncertainty. Mr Sefcovic told journalists "we believe we can achieve substantial progress this year" on an EU-Australia free trade deal, after negotiations have been on ice since 2023. Australian officials could not put a solid timeline on when a pact would be signed, but agriculture is believed to be one of the sticking points. Australia has previously offered to put the removal of its luxury car tax on the table but wants greater access to European markets for lamb and beef exports. However, some big meat-producing EU member countries like France have reservations about opening the bloc's markets to potential major competitors like Australia. Such concerns are also holding up talks with South American countries. The advantages of an EU deal include increased investment, stronger supply chain links, education ties and export opportunities, Mr Farrell said. Earlier on Wednesday, the United States set a deadline for countries to send their best offer in trade negotiations. In February, Mr Trump raised steel and aluminium tariffs to a flat 25 per cent "without exceptions or exemptions", in one of his first moves to aid the struggling domestic industries. The tariffs would apply to millions of tonnes of steel and aluminium imports from Australia, Canada, Brazil, Mexico and other countries that had previously been able to enter the US duty-free. On Saturday, Mr Farrell, said that Australia's messaging throughout the upheaval has been consistent and clear. "These tariffs are unjustified and not the act of a friend," he said. Asked what leverage Australia might have to pressure Mr Trump into changing course, Mr Farrell reiterated the government's position that it would not be in Australia's best interests to retaliate. "We're going to coolly and calmly argue our case for the removal of these tariffs," he said. "They don't do what President Trump claims they will do, and we believe that free and fair trade requires [their] removal." ABC/Reuters
