No? 12 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,279 Speaker 1: But are you surprised to hear that or does this 13 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: reflect what you see? 14 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 2: Very very surprised. And to be honest, in our world 15 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 2: and our farm are and the properties that we sell. 16 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 2: I mean, in eleven years I've been selling, I have 17 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 2: not had one item stolen or moved around or the 18 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 2: houses always looks the same when the vendors come back 19 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 2: to how it was when they they left. But to 20 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 2: be honest, we keep a very stringent eye on the 21 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 2: buyers that come through our properties. If it's a big home, 22 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 2: we will have multiple personnel in the home as well 23 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 2: on different levels. We we try and front foot if 24 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 2: anyone looks like they shouldn't be there or they're not 25 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 2: probably genuine buyers will keep a pretty pretty good eye 26 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 2: on them. And also we remind a lot of our buyers, 27 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 2: you know, sort of smile for the camera or because 28 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 2: a lot of our properties have internal security systems, audio systems, 29 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 2: so we just sort of joke and say, look, don't 30 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 2: say anything mean about the house, because you know someone's 31 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 2: probably listening to you. Just so people know, Max whenever, Well, 32 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 2: if I can't watch them, someone else might be. 33 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, now is it okay? Because wardrobes I can understand, 34 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: because you've got to know, you know, whether you're going. 35 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 2: To fit you for there spatial awareness. Yeah, but draws 36 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 2: no go zone, Absolutely, no go zone. I mean, are 37 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 2: you when you buy the house and move in, are 38 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 2: those drawers going to be there? No, they're not in 39 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 2: the chattels, They'll be taken away. So why on earth 40 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 2: are you looking in the. 41 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: Drawers photos on the walls. I was always told you 42 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: any personal photos, family photos take down. Do you still 43 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: advise you all clients to do that? 44 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 2: I'm sort of fifty to fifty on this one. What 45 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 2: I like to ask my clients is are you comfortable 46 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 2: having some family photos in the home, because I really 47 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 2: feel that that makes a house a home. If you 48 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 2: strip it of all its personality and warmth and memories, 49 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 2: sometimes you know, you lose a bit. But it's up 50 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 2: to the clients, up to my vendors if they're comfortable, 51 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 2: as long as it's you know, PG so to speak, 52 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 2: you know, so so you know it's trying to leave 53 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:46,839 Speaker 2: them there. 54 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: No, no, it's no, Jane, thank you. Jo'll welcome Jankkyli 55 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,959 Speaker 1: Great TV. On the show Roy White, real estate agent 56 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: and Location Location Location, New Zealand host. I went to 57 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: an open home once with a friend of mine who's 58 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: big lefty, and he was he was going to with 59 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: his girlfriend by the house and it had a huge 60 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: just Cinda adourn. You know, they had the cartoon style 61 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: Obama style T shirts of Justinda a dune that they 62 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: made and it had just Cinda's name at the top, 63 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: her face and then it was either adaha or love 64 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: or something at the bottom, and I sort of walked on, God, 65 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: that's a bit much even he and he is, you know, 66 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: left of the Greens. He thought it was too much, 67 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: So I think you're gonna be careful what you put 68 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: on the walls when you're trying to sell your house, 69 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: because you're trying to appeal. You need to be as 70 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: boring and bland as possible and appeal to the widest 71 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: possible market, which could be a raging right winger.
