Where does the real value lie in buyers agents and how to avoid costly property mistakes?

In this episode, we welcome back Cate Bakos to discuss from beginning to end the role buyer’s agents play in assisting consumers to achieve their property objectives and how the guiding principles of REBAA and its members have directed consumers away from risky property mistakes.

Cate Bakos has appeared in previous episodes to discuss buyers agents and the value they add to property buyers. Cate is a prolific and experienced buyers agent based in Melbourne and is also the President of Real Estate Buyers Agents Association of Australia (REBAA).

Who's really in control when you buy a property?

The Elephant In The Room is where the things that no one wants to talk about, actually get talked about.  

Veronica Morgan, real estate agent, buyers agent and co-host of Foxtel’s Location Location Location Australia & Chris Bates, financial planner, mortgage broker and wealth coach have joined forces to find out what’s really going on in the world of real estate.

Veronica and Chris talk to property owners and buyers every day in their respective lines of business. They’ve observed a wide spectrum of confidence in people’s decision making ability when buying and selling property, often to the detriment of the individuals concerned. They are both fascinated by consumer behaviour and together they’re going to uncover who’s really making the decisions when you buy a property.

In each episode they get into the psyche of buyers, agents, auctioneers and other industry experts to learn the truth about how buyers are influenced and why they do the things they do. In every episode you’ll learn from the mistakes of a “property dumbo” as well as Chris & Veronica’s “elephant rider bootcamp” training session.
