Many Buyers Agents work hard to attain their qualification... only to find themselves feeling unequipped to actually do their job well, and advocate for what might be the biggest decision of their client's lives.

No career is easy, and the role of Buyers Agent is no exception. Long hours, constant property hunting, uncertain income, endless research... the list goes on.  In an industry full of lone rangers and micro-businesses with limited resources, it's hard for people starting off to find employment and learn from experienced practitioners.

This episode is for you, whether you're currently working as a Buyers Agent, thinking of becoming one or considering hiring one. We discuss the difference between those who learn purely through trial and error and those who benefit from being mentored.

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
