    568 | Buyer’s Agents Behaving Badly? The Good, The Bad, and The Dangerous – Chat with Melinda Jennison

    There’s a surge of new buyer’s agents flooding the market…  Some are brilliant, ethical and genuinely helping buyers win in tough conditions.  But others? They’re charging upfront fees, disappearing on clients, buying properties sight unseen... and even recommending complex trust and super structures they’re not licensed to advise on.  So how do you tell the difference between a trusted advocate and a fast-talking spruiker?  To help us cut through the noise, we’re joined by someone who’s leading the fight for higher industry standards:  Welcome Melinda Jennison, President of REBAA (Real Estate Buyers Agents Association of Australia)  In this cautionary episode, we unpack:  ❌ The red flags to look for BEFORE you hire a buyer’s agent  ⚖️ The licensing loophole allowing unqualified operators to cross borders  💸 Ghosting, pressure tactics & “kickback referrals” you’ll never be told about, and more!  Tune in now.

    565 | Overpaying For Property? Your Insider’s Guide To Negotiating – Chat with Scott Aggett

    Most buyers walk into a property deal at a serious disadvantage. The agent knows the tricks, the tactics, and the pressure points that can make you pay tens of thousands more than you should.  But what if you could flip the script?  That’s exactly what Scott Aggett has been doing for over 30 years. With more than 4,000 property deals under his belt, Scott traded a high-flying career in agency land for the buyer’s side of the table, launching Hello Haus and pioneering Australia’s first “Negotiation-as-a-Service.”   He has recently founded Green Shoots Property, continuing his mission to help buyers save money, cut through the games, and regain control. In this episode, Scott opens his negotiation playbook and reveals: ✅ Why most buyers overpay (and how to avoid falling into the trap) ✅ The psychological tactics agents use to manufacture competition ✅ Why auctions are a stacked deck — and smarter ways to play ✅ The power of speed, control and rapport in winning negotiations ✅ The one question that instantly changes the conversation: “What’s it going to take to buy it?”  If you’re serious about buying well, this is your negotiating insider’s guide you can’t afford to miss. Listen now!   FREE STUFF MENTIONED Find out more about Scott Aggett here >>   🏡 First Home Guarantee (5% Deposit Scheme) From 1 October, eligible first-home buyers can access the 5% deposit guarantee, a game-changing opportunity to enter the market sooner without waiting years to save a 20% deposit.  This weekend could be one of the last chances to see a spike in properties within that affordability range, so if you’re looking to buy your first home, make sure you know the details.
