That's why you've got to come in really low.

My third offer is your first offer.

Do you know what?

That's actually what one of our compliance people once said to me.

They were like, because I was thinking about becoming a financial advisor, like, no, you won't be able to say as many things like you do.

Now, what about a story where it doesn't go quite so well?

I saw another example in Royal Oak.

This is again in Auckland.

And this couple bought the property for $510,000 and then they were trying to sell it for about $1.4 million.

That was the CV.

And they did five open homes across four different weekends, had quite a few people through, right?

Like 15 people through in the first weekend, 11 in the next weekend.

They come to auction and there's a good crowd in the auction room, but no bids.

Ah, nobody bid on it.

Then they said, okay, well, we'll set an asking price.

We'll make the asking price $1.6 million.

Ah, nobody bought.

They ended up selling it seven months later for $1.5 million.

Now, that might have happened if they did have a real estate agent, right?

Like the same thing could have happened.
