Show Notes

Open homes are scary - and auctions even more so.

What can you do at open homes to give you a bit of an advantage over everyone else? What can you ask, & what are you supposed to look for when going through a stranger's home that you like?

In this episode, I pose these questions and many more to Rachael from Harcourts as we discuss the open home process as well as the buying-at-auction process if you really like a home. How do you win the auction and what can you do to increase your chances?
