“That is the big thing because good agents will be working the auction floor. Okay. You’ll soon know, so no matter what the dialogue has been with a real estate agent to say, oh yeah, we've got six contracts out, or we've got ... you're going to know how many contracts are at outcome auction day. If you've watched your registration table to know who has registered.”



“Then the important thing is watching the body language, so it's not all about the auctioneer. Let the auctioneer go in and do their thing, but where I find it's really important is watching the body language of the people that you're going to be competing against.”



“And auction's theater, it really is. There are. You can actually scare off your opposition by being that person who's got the endless bucket and so often when I go and work a crowd and someone has done that, people say “ha, we're just going to stop now”. Because we don't know if that person is going to keep going.”



“We're also finding now with it not being a hot market, it's more a buyer's market, the vendors market and lending capacities have changed, that we are a lot more open to now going to the cooling off periods and giving people that little bit more time that they need.”

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.

The plan? This property podcast has been created to help us all make better property decisions!

We talk about the things no one wants to talk about in the Property Market
