Plus: The two key things you should look for when buying an apartment

Ewan Morton pulls no punches on why agents do the wrong thing and we have a bit of spirited debate about the pros and cons of buying new apartments. This energetic conversation traverses two very contentious issues and there are loads of revelations:

• How is a good agent able to overcome a lack of trust and manage to help both the owner as well as the buyer.

• Agents no longer hold all the information but it’s not a bad thing.

• How agents have been punished for telling the truth by vendors.

• His dialogue for telling vendors “as it is” when they should take an offer.

• The secret to getting more money out of buyers.

• How he gets buyers to trust him and why buyers should disclose info to agents.

• Treating agents with respect doesn’t mean buyers are not in control.

• Changing attitudes to apartment living and the debate about oversupply.

• What’s with the quality of new builds?

• The important things to research before buying a brand new apartment.

Another cracker episode, Ewan does not hold back!
