No matter where you are, election periods affect you across Australia. So in this week’s Coaching Tip I’ll give you some tips around navigating the election without putting purchasing and selling decisions on pause.
I’ll show you how you can play a really good game by doing the same thing you do each December. Don’t wait, go ahead and list auctions two months ahead depending on your customer’s sense of urgency around the election.
Election or not, what’s critical is that more people walk through open for inspections during the election itself, and especially on election day. If your open home is near a polling place you should definitely have an open for inspection on the day people vote.
There’s a lot of property-related policies on the agenda during an election, and that creates opportunities. Consumer decisions around selling and purchasing are affected, and there may be interest from investors looking to buy under the existing rules.
We’re in a phase of early recovery right now and you’ve got an opportunity to write a lot of income by navigating the election right. Get urgent buyers through your homes and making offers, and be the agent working whilst others are taking time off. The work you do now will set you up for the market once the election is over.
I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s Coaching Tip, and I look forward to seeing you here again next week.
