In this special episode we bring back John Cunningham, Principal Director of Cunninghams, a successful and established real estate agency based in the Northern Beaches. John has a well earned reputation by experiencing all aspects of the property market; buying, selling, advising and investing. We sit down to discuss the state of the real estate market during the pandemic including how all of the changes have impacted buyers and sellers, getting cold feet or becoming hot to trot, and on the other side, how agencies have taken these challenges and restrictions head on delivering a service that has adapted to the situation.

Here’s what we covered:
Are real estate agents equipped to be trusted advisors?
How are real estate firms finding the lockdown laws?
What are agents doing to ensure clients safety?
Is the gatekeeper mentality helping or damaging the real estate market?
Why has the pandemic been a wake up call for the property market?
Still in the market? What should you do?
Timing, wait another year or action now?
Is there a conflict of interest with agents giving advice?
What should property managers be doing during the pandemic?
How much of the real estate market has dried up?
How are agents pre-qualifying their clients?
How are sellers dealing with their property under inspection?

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
