“Australians have a genetic defect – this love affair with property” 

Today’s episode is an extra special one as we’ve invited the principal of Motivated Money, Peter Thornhill, to give you a heads up: he’s not a huge fan of property. 

…But what we do have in common are values around investments – that the ups and downs of the market can be linked to human behavior, there is no such thing as a market “crash”, and long-term investing is the surest way to tap the market’s riches. 

Tune in as we talk about his insights on the difference between investing in real estate versus shares, the volatility of the market, renting your lifestyle, and more!

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
