Hi, Kevin Durston here. Welcome to the community. Before we go any further, there are three things many buyers overlook: 1. You’re buying from a trained sales professional.This is what they do, every day! 2. They work ONLY for the Seller! 3. The Buying process is designed to influence your decision. If you pause and think about it, you’ll start to see it. - Open homes run for 20–30 minutes → compresses time and builds urgency - Comparable sales are selected to support a pricing story - “Other interested buyers” → increases perceived competition and pushes buyers to pay more Most buyers are operating at a disadvantage from the moment they enquire, on average, people spend less than an hour inside the home they eventually buy! Property is emotional. Your decision-making can be structured. I’ve spent 30 years buying and selling, 8 years in real estate, and 20 years studying buyer psychology. That’s why I built The Property Buyers Institute and The Forensic 50 — a structured framework to help you assess property properly, negotiate with confidence, and make better buying decisions. Inside this community: In the Classroom you’ll find the 8 Pillars of The Forensic 50, designed to highlight gaps in your current approach before you spend a cent. I have also put a lot of FREE helpful stuff in there to help educate The Community is where we share real conversations about the market, we share deals, agent conversations, suburb insights — we break them down together. The Goal Make informed decisions and improve outcomes for everyone on every purchase. The Forensic 50 is built on 50 Questions / 50 Answers / 50 Insights. It’s the same starting point all of my Buyers Agency clients go through — whether it’s their first home or their tenth investment.
