Get Invested: Todd Sloan on how to buy property faster for less

You’re about to learn the top strategies to buy property in Australia, even in uncertain and challenging times.

Today’s special guest Todd Sloan is an award winning sales agent with Timms Real Estate in Adelaide, South Australia. He’s also host of the popular The Pizza and Property Podcast and author of his newly published book Australia’s Home Buying Guide: How to Buy A Property Faster For Less – a very timely how to guide that will equip you with all of the best tips and tricks to secure your next property. 

On top of the book, if you want to learn more about negotiating the best deal on your property purchase, have a listen to episode 75 of Todd’s podcast: ‘Negotiating Steps to Win the Deal – With Scott Aggett.’ This episode goes through many little tricks and tips that could make a massive difference on your property purchase.

And along with learning a treasure trove full of property buying tips in our discussion today, the underlying take away from Todd’s own life journey to date is his incredible resilience and fearless ability to take on big challenges and obstacles, and see them through, regardless of the difficulty – he has an innate passion, patience and persistence fused with a limitless approach that are the defining qualities of successful people in all spheres.

In this enlightening conversation today, we answer all of your burning property questions, including:

Why buyers need to be careful of advice from their family and friends

How do you choose the right property? 

He covers two different buying methods of narrowing down property options that can help you narrow down the object of your search based on: Wants, needs and wonts and his 'beautiful, close and cheap' approach

We cover how you negotiate to win a property, in more detail

We talk about the current selling campaign trend of Best Offer By / Expressions of interest – and how buyers need to best position themselves with this type of selling campaign
