This week on Taking Back Saturday, we’re diving deep into the fast-paced, high-stakes world of auctions with none other than Brisbane’s auction king himself — Shane Hicks.
Shane’s one of the most respected names in the industry, and someone I’d have on my shortlist if I were ever selling my own home. Today, we unpack everything buyers need to know about auctions — from how they really work behind the scenes, to the biggest mistakes people make on the day.
We cover:
Why auctions?
What to say to yourself if you “don’t like auctions”
The truth about what happens when bidding pauses
Why some homes sell before auction
And how to bid like a pro when the gavel drops
If you’ve got an auction coming up this weekend (or just want to understand the process better), this is one you don’t want to miss.
