  • 92. What is in an Agency Agreement???
    Aug 22 2025

    In this episode of Sydney Property Muppets, Kurt and Chris dive into the ins and outs of agency agreements – a crucial but often misunderstood part of selling a property.

    They break down:

    • Who determines the price in the agreement
    • How co-listings are captured and managed
    • How long an agreement runs (and the typical timeframes to expect)
    • What happens if you want to break an agreement early
    • How to extend an agreement if your property doesn’t sell in time
    • And importantly, what happens if a vendor signs two agreements with different agents at the same time

    If you’re a vendor about to sell, or a buyer curious about how the selling side works, this episode gives you the insider perspective on the rules, risks, and responsibilities tied to agency agreements

    Chris and Kurt crack a cold one and get into their biggest real estate pet peeves. Chris starts with a rare moment — paying Kurt a compliment (yep, Jez from HR can sit this one out). Kurt vents about sellers who contradict themselves, while Chris shares his frustration with buyers assuming they're clients… without a signed agreement. But the ultimate pet peeve? The one that drives buyers mad? Guide prices. Tune in for a brutally honest chat on what really grinds agents gears.

  • 86. Shoe on the other foot (a taste of your own medicine).
    Jul 11 2025

    In this week’s role-reversal episode, Kurt and Chris swap perspectives — with Kurt stepping into the shoes of a buyer’s agent, and Chris guiding a client who already has a selling agent.

    You’ll hear:

    • Kurt share a real-life story of helping a buyer navigate tricky negotiations, reading the play, and knowing when to push or pull back.
    • Chris recount a recent experience where his buyer client had already appointed a selling agent, but kept leaning on Chris for advice — right up until the crucial final decisions, when Chris instructs his client to lean into the agent for his knowledge and decision making.
    • Lessons from both ends of the deal — how to support clients effectively, where the line is drawn, and how to improve communication between agents, buyers, and sellers.

  • 85 – How Not to Be Heartbroken: Buyers Missing Out
    Jul 5 2025

    In this episode of Sydney Property Muppets, Chris and Kurt unpack the emotional rollercoaster buyers often face — especially when they come to the party too late.

    Missed opportunities, last-minute regrets, and the brutal truth that just because a property’s been on the market a while doesn’t mean it still will be tomorrow.

    Inside the episode:

    • Kurt gets HR-called by Jezz (again)…
    • A buyer arrives just hours before auction and is shocked the property sold — even though they hadn’t submitted an offer — despite the agent informing them they would more than likely be too late. They still got their hopes up.
    • Chris shares the story of a client who stretched the budget just a little too late, missing out to a prepared buyer who improved their offer
    • What agents really think when buyers stall or hesitate
    • A key reminder: if you like a property, care about it — just not too much

    Whether you're buying your first home or your fifth, this episode is a must-listen to avoid the heartbreak so many buyers are facing in 2025.
