10 signs you're about to overpay for a property
Overpaying for property is very easy to do. The moment an agent knows your ceiling, the negotiation is over - you’re just working out how long it takes to get there. Everything after that is theatre. The rest of the list is the same problem in different clothes: comparing to the asking price instead of comparable SALES, running out of options and calling it certainty, and being the only person in the room with feelings about the kitchen. A Real Estate Agent works for the sell

We've recorded more than 800 episodes of this is property now. Most weeks I don't stop to think about that - you record, you release, you move on to the next one. But every so often an episode sticks. Someone emails about it two years later. I find myself sending the link to a client before our first call. It becomes one of the ones I'd actually keep.

What does a termite bait station look like?
You're walking around an open home and you notice them - small circular boxes set into the ground around the whole perimeter.🪲 They're termite bait stations. And they're not a red flag. Installed properly and inspected routinely, they're what's protecting the property. This one backs onto bushland, which is genuinely high risk - but managed well, it never becomes the owner's problem. So what do you actually do with that information? What does a termite bait station look like
