Why Most Property Investors Overpay Without Realising | Scott Aggett from Green Shoots Property on Negotiation, Data & Under Quoting

Property is part of the great Australian dream. But the buying process is fuelled by emotion, driven by real estate agent tactics designed to work against you, and the cost of getting a property purchase wrong can change the trajectory of your financial future.

In our latest Q&A, I sat down with Scott Aggett, Property Negotiator and Founder of Green Shoots Property.

Scott Aggett, has been on both sides of the property deal across 30 years and 4,000+ property transactions. He started as a real estate agent, built premium agencies, created a global negotiation-as-a-service business, and now helps investors and homebuyers across Australia buy in high-growth suburbs early, avoid costly mistakes, and negotiate a better deal.

HERE’S WHAT WE UNPACK:

• What is a 'green shoot' property, and the type of investor it suits
• The games real estate agents play and why the system is heavily stacked against buyers
• How a buyer's agent can protect you from being stitched up and overpaying for a property
• The art of negotiation: $25K saved in a 3-minute phone call 
• Why auctions are the worst way to buy property
• The data that actually moves the needle vs what investors focus on too much 
• The most common mistakes home buyers and investors make going it alone
• Off-the-plan traps
• Why asset structure and loan set-up matter before you buy
• The power of compounding is the one thing Scott wishes every investor understood earlier

Whether you're buying your first investment property or adding to an existing portfolio, this is essential viewing for anyone wanting to buy smarter and avoid the traps.
