In this special episode we bring back John Cunningham, Principal Director of Cunninghams, a successful and established real estate agency based in the Northern Beaches. John has a well earned reputation by experiencing all aspects of the property market; buying, selling, advising and investing. We sit down to discuss the state of the real estate market during the pandemic including how all of the changes have impacted buyers and sellers, getting cold feet or becoming hot to trot, and on the other side, how agencies have taken these challenges and restrictions head on delivering a service that has adapted to the situation.

Here’s what we covered:

• Are real estate agents equipped to be trusted advisors?
• How are real estate firms finding the lockdown laws?
• What are agents doing to ensure clients safety?
• Is the gatekeeper mentality helping or damaging the real estate market?
• Why has the pandemic been a wake up call for the property market?
• Still in the market? What should you do?
• Timing, wait another year or action now?
• Is there a conflict of interest with agents giving advice?
• What should property managers be doing during the pandemic?
• How much of the real estate market has dried up?
• How are agents pre-qualifying their clients?
• How are sellers dealing with their property under inspection?
