How Do I Search For A Home And Avoid Wasting Time? | PRE-Purchase Ep 2
Notes de l’épisode
Most buyers don't lose money because they failed to find a property. They lose money because they didn't spend enough time understanding the market.
In Episode 2 of PRE-PURCHASE, Ben Thompson and Shane Pope explain how to research property properly, set effective search parameters and build the market knowledge needed to buy with confidence.
This episode builds on Episode 1 and explores what happens after you've designed your property brief. You'll learn why inspecting properties is one of the most important parts of the buying process, how to use online portals effectively and why the best buyers spend significant time building local market knowledge before making an offer.
Ben and Shane also discuss why attending inspections, tracking sale prices and understanding buyer competition can dramatically improve your decision-making.
