And hopefully you're a smart listener of this wonderful podcast or viewing us on a kind of like a TV show, really.

It's like a TV show here.

I'm having coffee in my lounge with my friend Francis.

But no, look, go back to your plan.

You probably will have a plan if you're a smart person listening to this podcast.

And the important part to that is that is the stuff that you can control.

I would be working with a real estate agent who really understands your property and your area.

Because these are the people every day who are dealing with buyers.

So they will know what type of buyer potentially that your property would best appeal to.

how many of those are floating about, how much money they've got to spend on a house like yours.

And typically if they work locally, they're going to understand the area.

They'll have a good database in your area.

And so I would really be thinking about the person or the expert that you work with in order to move that property.

And I've said it before and I'll say a thousand times, you cannot sell a secret.

Make sure that your property is well presented, well marketed, and really make sure that you get every potential buyer into that living room, into that tender room, into that auction room, however you choose to sell your property, which your real estate expert will be able to help you with that as well, given the climate, given your property.

But you want to create as much demand as possible, and marketing certainly helps with that.

make sure you keep your options wide.

You really think about what it is that you're looking for both now and coming into the future.

If you've got six and seven year old boys, they're not gonna be that small for that long.

Maybe think about what they might be like when they're teenagers.
