121 (Part 1) | Does The Guy With The Most Money Always Win At Auction? – Chat with Damien Cooley

We’re pretty chuffed to announce that Damien Cooley, one of Australia’s most respected auctioneers and the face of Cooley Auctions, has landed a spot on the couch! For those not in the know: Damien holds the Australian record for the highest sale of a single dwelling home sold at auction—no easy feat at $23 Million—and is the most booked auctioneer on The Block, having appeared on the show nine times.

In fact, we were SO chuffed to have Damien on the couch that Bryce and Ben just didn’t want him to leave. There are golden auction tips pouring out like a long string of confetti in this one guys! (Damien was almost late to the set of The Block, he was so pumped to give you all his insight!)

So here is Part One, people.

Unpacking his property prowess with us, Damien reveals the importance of keeping lists, debunk some auction myths and explains why he’s more than just “The Guy in the Orange Tie on The Block”.

Together, he and the boys will cover:

  • How jotting your dreams on paper will write tomorrow’s reality
  • How he left high school to become one of the best auctioneers in the country
  • How Damien managed to score that impressive $23 million auction record (Hint: it has something to do with $50,000)
  • How to work out if an external auctioneer is right for you

This one’s a big one guys! The take home (out of the many):

If you go to work on your plan, your plan will work for you.

 

Disclaimer: But this is in Part 1 only … just wait until you hit PART 2 (!)

As Bryce and Ben mentioned on Episode 116, here’s the video on property ownership. Enjoy!

Following on from Part One, the second part with Brad Teal focused on Victoria’s new underquoting laws that came into effect on the 1st May 2017. For those new to the real estate industry, underquoting as defined by the Consumer Affairs of Victoria is: Underquoting can occur when a property is advertised at a price that is less than the estimated selling price, the seller’s asking price, or at a price already rejected by the seller. You can learn more about this new regulation here.

So for this part, the three of them discussed:

  • How was this new underquoting law introduced and the logic behind it
  • What changes will the new regulation impose on the real estate industry and will it be introduced to the other states
  • Traits of a good selling agent and the research that a vendor can conduct
  • The different demands on certain property type in different market
  • What does he think about the buy and hold strategy
  • What success mean to him
