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.Timestamps00:00 - Intro + 3 P’s (Personal, Professional, Property)03:39 - The Price of Living in Sydney04:37 - Imposter Syndrome in the Market08:11 - Preparing for Market Unpredictability 11:14 - Pricing Transparency for Auction Snitch16:01 - Preparation to Avoid Disappointment 18:05 - Evaluating Auction Clearance Rates22:15 - All About Auction Snitch 27:34 - Auction Snitch Going Undercover for Research Purposes32:20 - The Future of Auction Snitch 34:46 - OutroAbout Auction Snitch: Tori Huxtable is a Sales Agent with impeccable people skills and excellent local knowledge.
