In this episode, Lachy and Matt chat with 5 time winning auctioneer of The Block, Damien Cooley about the rise of the digital auction, how the auction market has adapted during COVID-19, and his views on the role technology will continue to play in the real estate auction landscape moving forward. As the director of one of Australia's most highly regarded independent auction businesses, as well as the founder of the pioneering live digital auction technology software AuctionNow, Damien offers an incredible wealth of knowledge in both the auction and proptech spaces.

Lachy & Matt try to settle the age old debate of which method of sale truly is the best for your property, your circumstances and your bottom line.

It's a big topic, and an even bigger obstacle for many would-be homeowners to overcome, especially in major cities. In this episode, Lachy & Matt tackle some of the most difficult hurdles in trying to buy your first home, with practical advice on where to start, who you need in your corner, and some of the most common mistakes many first home buyers make.

Are prices going to drop 30%? Is anyone still looking to buy right now? What should sellers be aware of if thinking of moving this year? What is the post-COVID real estate world going to look like? Lachy & Matt answer all these questions and more in this special episode.

Join hosts Lachlan Macdonald & Matt Farrugia as they share the idea behind Property Chat, their goals and vision for the podcast and how they hope to help you navigate the world of real estate.
