Stop letting agents kill your sale price. 

In this episode of Cut to the Chase, we’re stripping away the real estate fluff and getting down to the "grandfather rules" of value. Why did some Kiwi homes smash record prices in 2025 while others sat gathering dust? It’s not magic, it's Compression Selling.

If you’ve got a property that’s scarce, durable, and "tradable" (meaning a clean LIM, no building report nightmares, and top-tier presentation), you’ve got gold.

But here’s the kicker: the biggest threat to your bank account might be the person you hired to sell the house. Forget the "miracle price" jargon.

Get the strategy right, keep the LIM clean, and let the market do the work.
