How to buy amongst big crowds

A long weekend was the catalyst for what feels like half of Brisbane making the decision to buy a home and it’s common to see 50+ people at certain open homes each weekend. This week Chayse and Sam talk through how to spot the real buyers from the browsers at an open home, how to get ahead of any other buyers before the end of a Saturday and if you find something you love, what you can do to make sure you’re either buying it, or learning something to take into the next one. Key Takeaways: House hunting can be an overwhelming experience when there’s 50 other groups of buyers at one open home. Don't be deterred by large turnouts at open houses; a lot of these attendees are there out of curiosity rather than with any serious intent to buy. Deepen your relationship with real estate agents by being proactive on a Saturday. Show keenness and engage in a conversation with agents to stand out amongst the rest of the crowd.
