In this episode of The Property Couch, Bryce and Ben discuss property spruikers, defining them as salespeople who present themselves as advisors, and highlight the dangers of their high-commission, quick-kill approach, especially in the self-managed super fund space. They explore the fine line between legitimate business promotion and prioritizing personal gain over client's best interests, emphasizing the importance of objective advice tailored to individual circumstances. They also discuss tactics spruikers use, such as creating urgency, targeting specific buyers, and offering rental guarantees, and advise listeners to ask how advisors are paid and to seek truly independent research.
