Welcome to the first episode of our brand-new Friday mini-series: The Hill I’ll Die On.

Each week, one member of the Property Couch crew steps up to share a bold money or property stance they’re willing to stand behind and unpack the behind-the-scenes truths most people think… but rarely say out loud.

First up: Ben Thompson.

As a QPIA and auctioneer with over 1,000 auctions under his belt, Ben makes a strong case that auctions are the most transparent way to buy property.

Are they intimidating? Yes.

Are they emotional? Absolutely.

But are they unfair? Ben doesn’t think so.

In this 10-minute episode, he breaks down:

✔️ Why transparency matters more than comfort

✔️ The psychology of bidding

✔️ The tactics buyers use to influence the room

✔️ And why you should attend at least six auctions before bidding at one

New episode every Friday.
