How to buy property without overpaying
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
How to buy property with more confidence
Buying property can be emotional, stressful and easy to get wrong, especially when the market is moving quickly and agents are working for the seller.
In this episode of The Broker's Lounge, Eddie is joined by Dion Marsden from Marsden Buyers Agency to talk through what buyers need to know before making a move.
They unpack the Melbourne property market, what has changed since the Budget, why owner-occupiers could have more opportunity right now, and how confidence plays a major role in buying decisions.
Dion also shares practical tips on using a buyer’s agent, asking better questions, negotiating private sales, bidding at auction, and choosing the right selling agent when it is your turn to sell.
If you are thinking about buying, selling or bidding at auction, this episode gives you a clear look at how to approach the process with less emotion and more strategy.
