Did you know exactly what you wanted to do after school?

No, neither did today's guest, Sean Spalding.

He passed some Higher Exams, he had some jobs in retail and sales.

He even tried searching down a few different paths with college, university, working with his dad, and even applying to join the police force.

Curiously searching around for his path in life, for the route to success and supporting himself and then his family.

Have you, or are you, surrounded by people and systems telling you that certain things are just not for your kind of people?

Yeah, that's what Sean faced too.

He could see signs and examples of how, for example, money and wealth could be achieved through property investing.

However, schools and establishments, and even family, dictated that he could easily work IN property in some way, but the real profits and wealth were for some reason only reserved for other types of people. Whatever that actually means.

Have you yet found the resilience and determination to just keep going, to just keep looking, and to just keep learning?

Good. Cause that's what Sean did. He kept working and grafting. But he also kept his eyes and ears wide open for learnings and opportunities.

In today's show, Sean speaks about the various jobs and refurb projects he worked on, and how he was always looking for how the people behind the curtains, the investor owners, were able to find and structure and buy the properties.

He speaks about all the lessons and learnings through his work. He speaks about his education through Paul McFadden's Property Protege programme, and how he managed to recoup that investment from his very first deal.

Are you looking for inspiration and encouragement in your own journey?

Well listen in to Sean's powerful story about his various deals, about the sellers he has helped, the investors he has helped, and other property sourcers that he's done business with.

It's an impressive story.

And it's a story that is still being written, with a long way to go...

What things pop into your head as a seller or a buyer when the word "auction" is mentioned?

 

A large, stuffy room with over-emotional bidders waving paddles in the air and paying over the odds for a property they haven't properly considered?

 

A seller having to give away massive amounts of their property's value just to desperately get a sale that their local estate agent couldn't manage?

 

A buyer's panic at a host of fees to pay, with feelings more of gambling than security, and a countdown clock ticking loudly towards a short completion date?

 

It doesn't have to be that way!

 

And it's NOT that way if you're lucky enough to do business with John Morris and Luis Guarin from Prime Property Auctions.

 

Those stuffy rooms in a dated hotel on a specific date that you might not make, are replaced with 2024 tech of online property presentations and a simple offer process.

 

As John and Luis' expanding team love to say: "Every day is auction day at Prime Property Auctions!"

 

What words would reassure you as an investor looking to buy at auction?

 

What about hearing that at Prime, they have auctioneers who are actually investors!

 

Yes, both John and Luis are experienced property investors in their own right.

 

They get it!

 

They know all about the pressure of running due diligence, of thinking of your proper exit strategies, and also understanding and discussing the bigger picture of your own personal investment strategy, criteria and risk-mitigation.

 

You don't just throw a paddle in the air for someone with a hammer who couldn't care less about you.

 

The guys take a keen interest in speaking with and understanding your own personal investment journey, and can speak your language!

 

But what if you're not an investor and simply a personal buyer? Even a 1st time buyer?

 

Again, the team fully appreciate your desires and concerns, and are there to guide you by the hand with all aspects of purchasing, solicitors and mortgages.

 

They can find and share properties with you that can be your ideal personal home.

 

So does all that buyer assistance mean that the seller has to lose out?

 

Absolutely not!

 

What about hearing these wonderful assurances as a seller..."Sell your property within 28 Days. You set the price, No upfront costs & no sale, no fee."

 

Yes, that's the way that auctions should be working to help the sellers of property out there too.

 

And that's exactly the security and reassurance that Prime Propety Auctions brings.

 

Now hear the full amazing story.

 

In today's episode with John and Luis, you'll hear all about their approach to helping so many different people, and the full fascinating story of how Prime Property Auctions came about and has rapidly grown.
