How long have you been going in terms of real estate and calling auctions?
Yeah, so I started with Home by Holly and in real estate in the beginning of 2020, right before COVID hit. And I thought, God, what have I done?
Chapter 4: How did the pandemic influence auction calling in real estate?
A new career in the middle of a pandemic. But that turned out wonderfully. And then during the pandemic, when we were in lockdown last year, was when the conversation shifted to us maybe starting to call some auctions in-house. And I'd always loved the idea of calling auctions. And I put my hand up and said, look, let's give it a go. I'll try some online auctions.
So it was actually a year ago yesterday that I called my first auction.
Wow. So that's really interesting. So you got into real estate primarily to get out there, work with the vendors, sell homes.
Chapter 5: What inspired the guest to join the real estate industry?
And then as a result of the pandemic itself, that, of course, caused these in-house auctions. And then you segued from there.
Yeah. Yeah. I knew that I would like to get into that space. I've always been a bit of a fan of public speaking. And early on, I knew that I wanted to get into it eventually. And I guess the pandemic kind of just sped that up a little bit and thought, yeah, all right, well, rather than waiting five years or however long in the industry, let's jump in now and say yes and give it a whirl.
Now, what has inspired you, Bianca, to get involved in the real estate industry? What was the burning thing inside you that thought, yeah, I could give this a crack?
Chapter 6: How do changing interest rates impact mortgage pre-approvals?
For me, it's always been a lifelong interest. So I would, I call myself a real estate hobbyist until I, you know, watching what's going on online and watching new sales in the area. I used to keep a spreadsheet watching what was happening in my area just for interest sake. And I knew that weddings were starting to be something that I wanted to try, you know, move away from at that point in time.
And a friend of mine said to me, you should get into real estate. You'd be great at that. So I remember around that time I also saw the first Home by Holly sign in one of my streets in the neighbourhood and I thought, well, wait a second, this agency might actually be a bit of a cultural fit for me and the brand I'd built as a celebrant and who I was.
And so I reached out to Holly and said, I want to be a real estate agent and I want to work for you. The rest is history.
Yeah.
Chapter 7: What should buyers know about due diligence in property purchases?
Enjoy your morning coffee. It's your real estate weekend podcast in review.
You know, I wonder just how much of this is driven by vendors meeting the Perth market with the price point in terms of how quickly some of these properties are selling in Perth.
Some vendors have gotten a little excited and they see that the market is hot, so they will get a little ahead of themselves. They need to still keep in mind that you need an amazing marketing campaign and you need to price appropriately, regardless of whatever market we're in.
It's a far cry from where we were right at the start of the pandemic when everybody working in real estate thought they were going to lose their jobs.
We did. We thought we were going to lose our jobs, our homes, our livelihoods. What happened was a complete 180 of that. We found ourselves thrust into this massive upturning real estate market and it was quite the opposite of what we were expecting.

Chapter 8: Is there a place for gut instincts in real estate decisions?
Yeah, so true. And you were telling me before we got talking that you started in real estate at the age of 19. Now, I talk to a lot of selling agents. They've been in it for five minutes. It seems that it's a young person's sport, but you've been doing it for 30 years. Wow, that's a long time.
I know. Well, I'm just lazy, I think is probably the problem. No, look, the thing is, real estate is not about houses. It's about people. If you enjoy getting to know people and sitting down across the dinner table from someone and saying, right, what do you need my help with? What is your end destination and how can I help you get there? Being part of that process is incredible.
It's an incredible feeling to help a family get from step A to step B. It's the Real Estate Podcast across Australia, seven days a week.
Tell me a little bit about what's going on. We know that the building costs have gone through the roof. There's been a little bit of talk about some of these developments, especially around apartments where developers have decided not to actually pull the trigger because it's just not cost effective. What's happening?
Yeah, I mean, normally we see interest rate cycle increasing when we come out of a boom. And a boom is usually characterized by an oversupply of property and a lot of development. We just haven't had an oversupply of development. So therefore, we're not coming out of an oversupply situation. What's happened
is with the building costs rising between 20 and 30 percent it's taken the profit margins out of apartment developments particularly and hence you're building at cost or even building you're selling it below replacement costs at the moment so the development feasibility just don't stack up so they're cancelling them very good projects not going ahead because of the building costs and hence properties haven't lifted in value to the 20 percent or thereabouts that it's needed to restore profit margins for developers so projects being cancelled so we're going to see a short supply at some
stage in the future and you can still buy apartments and buy homes for that matter below replacement cost. So you know no new supply can come out of the ground until prices lift between 10 and 20 percent. It's your real estate weekend podcast in review.
How frustrating is it for clients that you're seeing when they get pre-approval for 90 days to buy and then they have that reassessment and suddenly the goalposts, they've changed, they've shifted because they discover they qualify for now smaller loans.
Yeah, that's something we've had to get used to as mortgage brokers in the industry as well, because a year ago, if I got pre-approval for someone, I would never question that they would still be approved for that amount a month later or six weeks later.
