Please use the Rask community, or ask a question link (both are are available in your podcast player) to get in touch with me.And if you’re half as fascinated as I am in what they talk about, go and get in contact with them using the resources for this episode.

Amy's 5 emotional traps to avoid when buying property
On this Australian Property Podcast episode, Owen Rask and Amy Lunardi break down 5 of the most emotional traps people fall into when buying their property. Here's what you need to know:1. Avoiding being too emotional and overpaying
Need to have some emotion when buying a property
Use this to factor into your ‘competitive buffer’ – how to figure this out (comparable sales plus x%)
Where to draw a line in the sand
With an investment less emotions (not zero)
2. The need for ‘social proof’Do your research upfront to avoid self doubt later on3. Allowing real estate agents/negotiations to impact your decision making
Negative experiences with agents
A negotiation not happening the way you expect it to
4. Waiting for ‘the one’ or ‘that feeling’
Doesn’t always happen this way (like online dating)
Figure out what gives you ‘that feeling’
Focus on your non-negotiables
5. Constantly having self doubt throughout the property journey
Often stems from a lack of upfront preparation, research, not knowing what you’re doing
Highly influenced by friends/family/media
Procrastination, changing strategy throughout, pulling out at last minute
