Scott Aggett, founder of Hello Haus, shares his journey from being a real estate agent to starting a negotiation-focused buyer's agent service. 

He noticed a gap in the market where buyer's agents were not prioritizing negotiation and were often overcharging clients. Scott wanted to transform the way Australians buy property by offering a performance-driven service that guarantees savings for clients. 

Hello Haus provides analysis and negotiation services, helping clients find their ideal home or investment property. They aim to make professional help affordable and have a goal of reaching 100 transactions per month. Hello Haus is a nationwide business that provides a hybrid service for buyers in the real estate market. They differentiate themselves from traditional buyer's agents by offering a more affordable and transparent approach. 

Their process involves using AI tools to create a pre and off-market strategy for clients, including both owner-occupiers and investors. They focus on understanding the buyer's non-negotiables and narrowing down the search to specific suburbs and property types. 

Hello Haus also emphasizes the importance of accurate data in negotiations, but they don't rely heavily on comparable sales during the negotiation process. They believe that the emotional element and human interaction play a significant role in real estate negotiations. The conversation explores the flaws and tricks in the real estate industry, particularly in the buying process. 

It discusses the misleading marketing tactics used by some buyer's agents and selling agents, such as claiming 100% auction success or bragging about overpaying at auctions. The conversation also delves into the strategies buyers can use to gain control in negotiations, including leveraging speed and introducing leverage. The future of the property buying process is discussed, with an emphasis on the need for transparency, accountability, and regulation in the industry.
