Episode 217: Property Advisors, Buyers Agents, and the Educational Gap Issue | Peter Koulizos, Adelaide Uni / PIPA

Getting property advice is one of the most important steps to take when investing in real estate.

However, there is no guarantee that every property advisor in the industry has received the right level of education, which can be pretty risky, especially for investors.

What are the dangers inherent in the unregulated nature of real estate? How does this low barrier to entry for buyer’s agents affect consumers? 

In this episode, Peter Koulizos of PIPA is going to help us understand the educational gap issue and its impact on the real estate market. We’ll talk about the absence of regulation governing property investment advisors, accessibility of good advice, the future of the property market in Australia when it comes to education, and more!
