In a follow-up series to the wildly popular What's Making Headlines, hosts Phil Tarrant and Tom Panos discuss the hard-hitting topics relevant to real estate that others might shy away from. Phil and Tom are joined by buyer's agent and author of A Surfer's Guide to Property Investing, Paul Glossop, as they discuss the street theatre of auctions and the trends in both bidder and auctioneer behaviour that Tom observed during his recent appearance on The Block. They look into the growing interest in using a buyer's agent, particularly in markets like Sydney and Melbourne, fresh off the news that two well-known real estate agents in Double Bay have left selling behind to start up their own buyer's agency. Tom and Paul weigh in on what agents should consider if they're thinking of making similar moves and why buyer's agents still have to know the fundamentals of sales because now they're selling themselves. They also touch on how easing international border restrictions might impact markets in the major cities, with returning expats coming into the country ready to buy.
