    HOW Auction Snitch is changing the auction experience for bidders and bringing transparency to the Auction process

    HOW Auction Snitch is changing the auction experience for bidders and bringing transparency to the Auction process

    Are Auctions subject to finance? Are Auctions legally binding? Can Auctioneers lie about bids? 

    But the most important question is: how much did that property actually sell for at Auction?

    If you’ve heard the horror stories - you inspect the property, do all your research, get finance ready and the Contract of Sale reviewed. The price guide is within your budget and then the first bid is more than your total budget! 

    This happens at auctions all around the country. Every. Single. Weekend. 

    Why is there no transparency? 

    Good news! There is and the answer is an app called Auction Snitch! In this episode, Aaron Christie-David interviews the co-creators: Tasmin Lapointe and Tori Huxtable. 

    We hear from them about their own experiences and why they built and launched this app (you’ll love why!). The goal of providing "hot off the press" property insights has served as benchmarking data crucial for informed decisions.

    About Auction Snitch:

    Tori Huxtable is a Sales Agent with impeccable people skills and excellent local knowledge. Her career spans federal politics, education, television production, and various other fields. Tamsin Lapointe is an experienced Project and Program Manager with international, multi-sector delivery experience in IT software development and infrastructure projects.

    Auction Snitch is an app designed for users to share real-time property prices and track sales campaign histories for listings of interest. With a pressing demand for increased transparency within the Australian property market, due to the absence of price guides on listings and delays in publishing auction results and sold prices, which directly impact their property decisions.

    Buying in Sydney? This Buyers Agent tells you how to SUCCEED

    Buying in Sydney? This Buyers Agent tells you how to SUCCEED

    Buying your own home or an investment property in Sydney takes grit, determination and creating an unfair advantage. Not everyone can afford to engage a Buyers Agent, so we’ve asked Ramon Cura to share his secrets. 

    The Sydney property market is competitive and agents may be underquoting a property or simply tell you to “make an offer”. This is not only frustrating when the property sells for well over the price guide or the first bid at auction exceeds your whole budget. So how do you stack the odds in your favour? 

    We ask Ramon this exact question and you want to hear his answers. 

    Bidding and buying at auction can be a nerve-wracking experience; when do you raise your paddle, by how much do you increase your bids and how do you bid successfully? With decades of experience under his belt and buying thousands of properties, Ramon shares the insiders tips on how to negotiate and bid with confidence. 

    About Ramon: 

    Beginning as a mortgage broker, Ramon not only gained invaluable experience helping his clients obtain loan approval to purchase a property, but he also noticed a gap in the real estate market. His clients then would constantly ask him for advice surrounding buying investment property and negotiating. 

    Recognizing an opportunity to better serve his clients, Ramon transitioned to representing buyers as a Buyer’s Agent, founding Cura Property in October 2010. Leveraging his extensive background in mortgage brokering, banking, and human resources, he's become known as the "go-to guy" for property advice. Authenticity, transparency, and negotiation skills, from finding investment properties to sealing deals of all kinds, Ramon's got it covered.

    Renovate, Revalue, Release Equity - REPEAT! Todd Sloan shares his successful investing journey

    Renovate, Revalue, Release Equity - REPEAT! Todd Sloan shares his successful investing journey

    Renovating a property is the fastest way to accelerate your investment property portfolio - you typically buy under market value, update through a strategic or cosmetic renovation and then get multiple lenders to revalue your renovated investment property. The increased value gives you an uplift in equity which then forms your deposit to buy your NEXT investment property. 

    The strategy has proven successful for our guest this week on the Australian Property Investment Podcast. 

    We talk about the renovating journey with Todd Sloan, the voice behind the popular Pizza and Property Podcast, to talk about his journey from a life-altering injury to becoming a powerhouse in property investment.
