Amanda Farmer is the go-to-expert in "strata world" with over 15 years experience as a strata lawyer. Amanda is also a fellow podcaster with over 100 episodes under her belt and she lifts the lift on many of the problems and opportunities she sees with strata. Here are some of the 'aha' moments:
Why you should get involved with your strata committee and the best way to do it
What well-run buildings do and the difference between a strata committee meeting and a general meeting
Why you should buy “Eyes wide open” and know exactly what you are buying and the condition it is in.
Why you need a ying to your yang when buying and how two peas in the pod don’t work
The ongoing plague of poorly built building defects and why you wouldn’t want to buy new buildings.
The danger of a low valuation when buying off the plan and why you need to be aware of the risk.
The harsh reality when you buy off the plan is you are sign contract today but are totally committed for many years ahead
The  awful sunset date and why off the plan contracts are water tight to protect others
The crazy situation when buildings over 4 stories do not need insurance
Why building defects usually start after 8 years, when times up on insurance

This is one of the most elephant filled episodes and you should not buy into a strata complex unless you've truly listened to this brilliant advice.

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
