In their sixth episode returning to the studio, Stacey and Cate decided to tackle some tips for buyers in this heated market.

Buyers are being currently being challenged by high bidder numbers, tough competition and tight campaign timeframes. The cause of this difficult environment is three-fold; a heady trifecta of heightened consumer confidence, record low interest rates and a stock shortage.

Cate and Stacey talk about the risks involved with 'killer bids', from valuation shortfalls to later regret. They share some of their own client experiences and they talk about some of the subtle tactics they employ in a hot seller's market in an effort to have a successful acquisition journey.

Cate unpacks The Magic Quadrant; a tool she's used to help buyers determine a realistic and feasible strategy since 2011. Breaking down the four main segments of the quadrant helps buyers work through their priority levels and shines a light on the piece that they are least reluctant to change.

"It only requires moving one piece of the puzzle to make this work", she often says to her clients.

Stacey and Cate have known each other for over seven years now, and with their shared passion for property and their deep involvement in client-journeys, they thrive on bringing to life some of the more memorable experiences they've shared.

In her warm and effusive way, Stacey probes Cate with some wonderful questions in an effort to give their listeners some exciting insight into the world of property negotiations. Having based her property career in Melbourne for almost twenty years now, Cate's breadth of negotiation and campaign experience is targeted beautifully by her co-host.

Stacey is an energetic interviewer, a dedicated Buyer's Agent and renovator with a great collection of real-life tales to share. The duo try to keep it as authentic as possible, and with a hint of education and loads of fun.

Cate and Stacey are having a lot of fun prepping more episodes for this special series and they look forward to bringing more investor and buyer's agent stories to light in the coming weeks… stay tuned.

We hope you enjoy!
