Now… it’s Framework Time!! The last framework that we’ve unpacked was Episode 137 on Tips for Buying in Spring so we think we are a little overdue for another one.

The topic that we’ll be chatting about today doesn’t happen all the time, of course, but it does happen: Vendors sell BEFORE they go to auction.

Have you ever wondered why??

Today, we’re exploring some of the main reasons explaining an early sell in this situation. Because if you’re selling (side note: hopefully you’ve received professional advice about this), it pays to know which tactics could be lurking around the corner for you. Of course, if you’re interested in buying property, it saves to know how to negotiate a win before the bidding has had a chance to begin!

So, is selling before auction as clear-cut as we might think?

Yep, today we’re digging into the heart of it:

Firstly, who really wants an auction in the first place?
What are the ‘bigger picture’ reasons to explain this exit strategy?
Could the real estate agent be outsmarting you?
What happens when you have limited buyer interest?
Can you take an ‘ugly’ property to auction?
Is a premium offer enough to make a vendor sell?
What is the rare thing that happens more than you think?
How does age influence an early sell?
What do you need to look out for?
Do you have confidence in the Australian residential property market?
What does it take to persuade a vendor to sell to you?

Spring has sprung! And it’s the selling season, indeed. Properties look more beautiful — the lawn is luscious, the sun’s out, there are flowers all around … these all tickle your emotions, charming a lot of buyers to come out and bid. And pay an emotional price too — a lot more than the property is worth!

So how do you make sure you knock out all the competition AND still buy the property at a price you can afford?

In this episode, the boys explain the 7 tips to Buying in Spring to make sure you, as a property investor, succeed!

Bryce and Ben discuss:

Why is Spring the selling season?
The importance of a vendor’s motivations and which ones could get you a cheaper price (you can listen to The Four D Words here)
What to look out for before you make an offer
How AND when to make a knockout offer
How to outsmart a real estate agent by not being smart
What do you need to say to a real estate agent?
What type of buyer do you need to be in Spring?
When does the negation actually start and how do you negotiate to win?
What to do (and what to not do) at Open For Inspections
How do you find out what a property is really worth?
The power of having a Plan B and why you need it in a negotiation?
