Peter O’Malley provided excellent advice to would be sellers and buyers to ensure they get the best price whether they are buying or selling a property. He reveals the industry spin, what all that fancy advertising really means, how over styling your home can actually cost you and how to de-code the convoluted wording used in the marketing blurb. O’Malley tells would-be-buyers-and-sellers what they should expect from their agent. He details why public auctions so often end in disaster for both buyers and sellers and details of why a silent auction process achieves a much better result. He lists the pitfalls of buying before you sell and discusses the pros and cons of renovating – are you adding value or overcapitalising? And finally, keeping it real – are you being realistic about the price of your property.
