Book Libby Lombardo to Speak on Australian Property
“I show ordinary people how to do extraordinary property deals.”
The Book
Millions and Billions in Property Development
Libby’s bestselling book shows how everyday Australians can become property developers — and profit with no money and no banks.
Inside: how to find development sites that never hit the open market, negotiate off-market deals, joint-venture with no money down, and structure deals like the country’s biggest developers.
One deal can change your life.
Why Book Libby
Book the One Speaker Your Audience Won’t Forget
You already know the risk: the polished keynote speaker who says all the right things — and moves no one. The room claps politely, checks their phones, and forgets the talk by lunch. And it reflects on whoever booked them.
Libby Lombardo is the opposite kind of booking. She walks on stage as living proof that ordinary people can do extraordinary things — a school dropout written off by her teachers who went on to develop property, lose everything, and rebuild. Audiences don’t just listen. They lean in.
“By the time she finishes, the room believes something is possible that it didn’t an hour earlier.”
She wins the room in five minutes
No corporate gloss, no clichés — just a real story told with honesty and humour. Property crowds can smell a fake; Libby has the track record and the scars to back every word.
They leave inspired — and equipped
Two speakers in one: a gripping comeback story and genuine, developer-level insight on deals, wealth and resilience. They walk out moved and ready to act, not just entertained.
A booking that makes you look brilliant
Seen on 60 Minutes and in the AFR, BRW and Vogue. Professional, reliable and unforgettable — the safe choice that still earns a standing ovation.
Give your audience the talk they’ll quote for years — and check Libby’s availability while your date is still open.

The Story
More Than a Motivational Speaker
Australian audiences know Libby Lombardo for her extraordinary personal story. Fewer know that behind it is one of the country’s most accomplished self-made property developers.
Teachers told Libby she’d never amount to anything — she was even voted “most likely to end up in jail.” She left school early and took a job as a nanny for the family of one of Australia’s richest men, Richard Pratt. On a private jet to New York, watching that world up close, something shifted. She picked up Rich Dad, Poor Dad — and her obsession with property began.
Books became her university. She devoured everything she could find on money and investing, and moved in circles filled with the BRW Top 200. Using little or no money down, she began trading development sites — and made her first million by 25.
Then, in her late twenties, she lost everything. A few critical financial mistakes wiped her out. With an elite group of mentors she rebuilt, making the right moves to come back stronger, with multi-million-dollar deals in play.
Today she has spent more than a decade buying, selling, developing and trading real estate, founded Leverage Property, and written the bestselling Millions and Billions in Property Development. Her mission now: show everyday Australians how to do the same — without the costly mistakes.
“There’s no better way to learn than by experience.”
For Coaches, Educators & Sponsors
She Opens the Room. Your Offer Closes It.
If you sell from the stage — a program, a service, a fund, a next step — the hardest part isn’t your offer. It’s the mindset in the room. A guarded, “that’s not for me” audience won’t buy, no matter how good the pitch. Libby’s job is to change that before you ever stand up.
She reframes what’s possible
Through her own rise from broke to developer, Libby shows a sceptical room that extraordinary results are achievable for people just like them. Belief comes before buying.
The room opens up
Arms uncross. “Not for me” becomes “maybe I could too.” The exact abundance-and-action mindset your offer needs is primed and ready.
Your pitch lands
You step up to a warm, believing audience already leaning toward the next step — so your program, service or opportunity sells itself.
“By the time you take the mic, the room already believes what you’re about to offer is possible for them.”
Tell us what you’re offering your audience, and Libby will craft a keynote that leads naturally into it — turning your next event into your best sales day.
Ideal for property education, coaching & mentorships, capital raises, expos and sponsor-led events.
