Great video! I didn't realise pre-auction offers were considered to be a no-no. My neighbours house sold before Auction so I assumed it was common practice
Thanks heaps!! I guess it can depend on the market that you're in and if there is more than one interested party they'll try to take it to auction to get more. For example if it's in Brisbane which is in a 'recovering market' www.huntergalloway.com.au/brisbane-property-market-2019/ they will more than likely take it to auction to get more money. But if you're in Sydney or Melbourne in a slowing market they might take your offer before auction because there are less buyers around. Awesome question and because made my day I'd love to post you a copy of our book Home & Hosed - shoot me your address via email and I'll get it into the post - Jayden.vecchio@huntergalloway.com.au
#1 does not make sense... as the buyer I do want to help the agent condition the seller before the auction... it will influence the seller toward a lower reserve price?
Hi Casper. The first tip in the video is highlighting a common tactic used by real estate agents where they encourage buyers to make pre-auction offers. The idea behind this from the agent's perspective is to "educate" or condition the seller about the market value of their property before the auction starts. However, the purpose of this conditioning might not always be in the best interest of the buyer. Here's the potential issue: an agent may encourage a buyer to submit a high pre-auction offer in the hopes of inflating the seller's expectations. This could result in the seller setting a higher reserve price, thinking that the market value of their property is higher than it actually is. This could result in a higher starting bid at the auction, which may not benefit the buyer if the buyer was hoping for a lower starting price. In other cases, the agent may use low pre-auction offers to convince the seller that their property might not be worth as much as they initially thought. If the seller is convinced, they might lower their reserve price. In such a case, the pre-auction offer could indeed help the buyer. However, the video suggests that this tactic can often be used by agents to manipulate both buyers and sellers into thinking that the property is worth more than it actually is, thereby potentially creating an overinflated auction scenario. The point being made is that as a buyer, it's important to do independent research and not solely rely on the agent's input, as their goal is to get the highest price possible for the property. Please note that the strategies and their effectiveness can vary based on the specific market conditions and the individual behaviours of the buyers, sellers, and agents involved.
Yew josh made it onto a video! Fantastic vid lads, keep it up! Great tips and btw your video photos are perfect! The blue, the caption and the style. Stands apart from all the others. The little things lol
Thanks Gerry appreciate the feedback so much! Hahaha yeah Josh is a natural I reckon we'll have to get him back to do a few more!! Thanks again mate have an awesome night! 🙌
Hi Amrit, typically auctions are unconditional, therefore unable to request this. You can try but it's the reason properties go to auction, so they're sold without any conditions...
Sorry about that, we improved the mics in the newer views but not much I can do about my accent sorry! You can slow down YT to 0.75x speed too if we are speaking too quickly? Thanks for watching
