Welcome to The Elephant In The Room Property Podcast

Where the big things that never get talked about actually get talked about!

Veronica Morgan, real estate agent, buyers agent and co-host of Foxtel’s Location Location Location Australia & Chris Bates, mortgage broker have joined forces to find out what’s really going on in the world of real estate.

Veronica and Chris talk to property owners and buyers every day in their respective lines of business. They’ve observed a wide spectrum of confidence in people’s decision making ability when buying and selling property, often to the detriment of the individuals concerned. They are both fascinated by consumer behaviour and together they’re going to uncover who’s really making the decisions when you buy a property.

Who is really making the decisions when you buy a property? The elephant or the rider?

Each week they’ll get into the psyche of buyers, agents, auctioneers and other industry experts to learn the truth about how buyers are influenced and why they do the things they do. In every episode you’ll learn from the mistakes of a “property dumbo” as well as Chris & Veronica’s “elephant rider bootcamp” training session.

The plan? This property podcast has been created to help us all make better property decisions!

Who is really in control, the rider or the elephant?

So, why the elephant? The elephant is a metaphor for the way our emotions dictate our actions, often without our knowledge. And the rider is our rational brain, the part trying to be in control. This video explains it all beautifully.
