New Tech for Buying Property

This week the guys discuss new tech in the buying process- apps made to help the purchasing process perhaps becoming easier/fairer... What do you think?

All right guys welcome back to The Property Pod your weekly engagement into the real estate industry here in Hobart, Tasmania
i'm your host Aaron Horne and i'm joined by our 4one4 Property Co Real Estate Agents... had to take a breath there... Patrick Berry and John McGregor breath was worth it because it came through nice and clear excited to be back excited to be back
yes apologies to all our loyal listeners
out there we uh
we got so close to recording last week
and then i've just got to admit that
i had a i was going to say panic attack
but it wasn't a panic attack
yeah vertigo yeah well that looked like
a panic attack i suppose it felt like
i was here in the room when you're
watching you just go down like was just
strange yeah i thought i was gonna faint
i got everything was spinning and i've
kind of i'm still
only just kind of coming through the
throws of it now and yeah i've had um
sebastian my my other employee as my
personal driver all week
he's been dropping me home and the only
thing i don't understand is though
why are you sitting in the back seat
well every day yeah you're like
chauffeuring around like just because
you're sick you can still sit out the
front
i've been giving him star reviews
conversation today
for
yeah last week we we were in the studio
as the vertigo hit and yeah no it's a
so anyone out there that's experienced
it and if i wasn't um
sympathetic to your spiraling well just
i felt you now and it is rough
man that's weird so yeah didn't you say
you just like costly off balance
oh yeah it's like it's kind of like say
sickness to it's all this inner ear
stuff but the
very first throws of it was literally i
thought i was going to faint and the
whole
we're in not the biggest room here but
the whole room was spinning and
yeah it's basically your brain trying to
correct um an inner ear kind of that's
crazy balance well i'm
super pumped you're able to push through
this week as and we're glad to have you
back it's good to be back good to be
back i know that in my
absence you guys were kind of uh just i
thought actually
there might be a secret episode that
came out without me no we were excited
we're out of here we talked for 20
minutes and then
everyone else thought we'd done the
podcast because we'll go on for so long
but we didn't
we didn't know how to hit record your
dad came in before
i was looking he's like he's like man
there's a lot of things for you to
control here
welcome to the command center don't
touch it
um you guys were listening to a uh a
hack
article or you're driving home and
you've text out said oh this is quite
interesting
yeah some last week was going to be our
topic last week um because it was
happened on the tuesday night i had an
article about house partying for
young people um on hack which obviously
sparked my interest straight away
definitely so i sat in the car and
waited for the episode to finish because
i got home and i was like
yeah we have a radio inside but gotta go
find it and turn it on so
it's funny because when like a good
song's on you'll do that thing like i'm
going to sit in the car and wait
i'll do a lap oh john doesn't like to
sit still keep driving
keep driving fair enough yeah keep going
yeah and they um
we're talking about how different
softwares have come into the market to
help you
buy a home on a bidding process so as
most people would know the
australian marketplace is quite busy at
the moment and most people are sort of
fighting each other to secure a home
yeah
and so all these different softwares are
popped up and we thought it'd be a good
thing to talk about this yeah because
this is right in your wheelhouse like
you're kind of the king of the app the
king of
technology that will i am but at the
same time i don't know if it's something
that would work relatively well in the
hobart market because we don't have the
volume of people
but i could see it working very well on
the mainland and why it's become very
popular when you guys were talking about
it before just as i was listening
and setting up the studio it kind of
came across as like oh yeah this sounds
like yeah
melbourne auction kind of saturday
morning this is something you'd want to
be all over
whereas here i guess it's getting way
busier here with yeah a lot of people
trying to it's like everything
in a couple of years time it'll be
something that will probably be second
nature here as well but
uh like everything hobart just a little
bit slower than the rest of the
that's all right the country does sort
of do things there's nothing wrong with
that well
it is too with with the introduction of
them it's a fundamentally different way
of purchasing property too so
um it's a means that whether or not the
buyers are going to be excited to engage
in that process
um and also too for us it is a different
way of working so yeah so
it is you know a bit challenging as well
to break it down can you kind of go into
what some of these apps or what these
um options definitely so there's three
major players at the moment that appear
to be sort of
running the space they are john one was
open negotiation yep
and market buy and what was the third
one rezzo was the one
was the one on triple j that's one i
always forget about you were starting
with that one actually considering
that was the catalyst for all of us i
think reza looking here is real estate
sales online they've got a kind of a
blue and green
logo looks kind of fancy it's almost
like a little wi-fi logo
picture in there for anyone i could
probably pop it up on screen if i really
wanted to
be fancy but it says an online offer
acceptance and contract
management system allowing agents and
buyers to communicate online
yeah so one thing i really liked about
this one and the way i could see it
potentially working
is um especially here in hobart out of
the three that we're going to talk about
today this is the one where i think
would fit our marketplace the best
at the moment yeah because at the moment
we're doing a lot of um
multiple offers on properties but we're
doing them at an individual level so
we're going out meeting a client
writing up an offer and then we'll go to
the other buyer and we end up with a
situation where we sort of
we can't disclose to the other buyer
what each offer is
but um we need to make sure they're
aware that they need to put their best
foot forward and
so that's a legal issue that you guys
come across where it's kind of like a
confidentiality a bit of confidentiality
a bit of code of conduct
um with rashes there for a while didn't
we because in the in our
once once you get a license to obviously
you're agreeing to a code of conduct
through the
um uh yeah through with the reit
property agents called property agent
sporting those ones um so in that
there's a specific
it says do we will not disclose the
terms of other offers so
the so but then it's not expressly
written into the act but it's just
against our
real you know professional real estate
so it's kind of it's a difficult one
because it's a patrick dangerfield kind
of situation
yeah yeah exactly so for our code we
could risk of losing our license because
we're against our code but technically
it's not illegal
