In Episode 97 of The Sydney Property Muppets, Kurt and Chris call out the biggest frustrations in the property market: selling agents who underquote, overquote, and use bullying tactics that leave buyers and sellers at a disadvantage.

The spotlight then turns to buyer’s agents. Kurt challenges Chris on whether they’re truly bringing something different to the table — or if they risk slipping into the same bad habits as selling agents. The discussion sparks an honest look at whether buyer’s agents can reshape the industry, or simply become part of the same problem.

Finally, Kurt steps in to train the audience on how both buyers and sellers can protect themselves, avoid being misled, and take back control of the process. Because at the end of the day, you hold the power.

This week, Chris and Kurt dive into one of Kurt’s recent auctions. They unpack the full campaign that led up to auction day, covering everything from pre-registration and buyer preparation to the nerves and tension that built as the big night rolled around.

Kurt relives the fast-paced 4-minute auction, sharing what it’s really like when the pressure is on and decisions need to be made in real time. Chris puts him on the spot about an auctioneer’s choice to call the property on the market super early — hear Kurt’s take on this critical moment.

If you’ve ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of a property campaign or how auctioneers prepare buyers (and themselves) for high-stakes bidding, this episode is packed with insights.

Chris Clarke flips the script, channelling his inner Steven Bartlett from Diary of a CEO, as he interviews Kurt on a recent Inner West campaign. Labeled the “out of area agent”, Kurt still won the business – but how? Was it his fees, advertising strategy, caring approach, or negotiation skills?

Chris pushes with tough questions on guide pricing, early campaign offers, vendor strategy, and whether REA or Domain played a role. Most importantly – how did Kurt handle the tricky question of early offers, and did the property make it to auction?

A raw, honest deep dive into how an “outer area” agent can still deliver top results.
