Hosted by Harry Sothern & Olwyn Lydon, from REA Sothern Real Estate Agents.

We all love Carlow. Somewhere to live, work, and shop! So today we're looking at the commercial side of things. What does Carlow look like to an International Retailer, Hospitality Operator, Leisure Brand, or growing Company looking for its next location. There's no better woman to talk to about this than Nicola Doran, CEO of The County Carlow Chamber of Commerce.

Key Decisions Podcast | Ep. 03

Hosted by Keith Sothern & Olwyn Lydon, from REA Sothern Real Estate Agents.

Hello everyone and welcome back to Key Decisions. Whether you're buying, selling or just keeping an eye on the property market, thanks for joining us. Today's topic came from something we've noticed more and more recently... Estate agency fees. Some agents are now advertising fees as low as 1%... which naturally raises the question... Why would anyone pay more? And that's exactly what we're talking about today.

It's not about knocking anyone else, every business has its own model, but, we're going to explain what actually goes into selling a property properly.

Later in the episode we'll also tell you about a project we've been working on that we think could genuinely improve the buying and selling experience for everyone involved.

The theme of today's episode is "Cheap Isn't Always Better – What Are You Really Paying For?"

Key Decisions Podcast | Ep. 03

Today, we’re joined by someone who deals with arguably the most stressful part of any property transaction, the legal process.

We’ve spoken before about sales progression and why transactions can sometimes take months. Today we’re sitting down with Nichola Delaney from O’Flaherty Brown Solicitors to answer the questions buyers and sellers ask every day, and probably a few they don’t even realise they should be asking.

If you tuned in last time, you’ll know that we will have a segment where a listener sends us in a ‘key question’ and we will try to answer it in the most professional manner we know, in other words, we’ll break it down into lay mans terms so you can understand if your biggest investment to date is a Netflix subscription….

Key Decisions Podcast | Ep. 02

Hosted by Keith Sothern & Olwyn Lydon, from REA Sothern Real Estate Agents.

We’ve decided to jump into the podcast world because, to be honest, property talk can be a bit of a head-melter. There’s loads of stuff to wrap your head around, so we’re here to make it simple, to break it all down, make it clear so even if you haven’t a clue about property, you might know something after listening to this.

Each episode we’ll be chatting about something different, answering the questions you actually want answered, in a way you ACTUALLY want them answered, not using terminology only understandable by someone in the industry, and sure we’re probably having a bit of craic along the way.
