Have you ever forwarded a quote from one tradesperson to another with the innocent question, "Can you beat this price?" You're not alone – it's one of the most common practices among property owners looking to save money on renovations and maintenance. But what seems like a smart cost-cutting strategy could actually be costing you thousands in the long run.This eye-opening episode dives deep into the hidden dangers of quote matching without proper property inspection. As your host Samantha Eason explains, quotes aren't just about the final number – they represent a comprehensive assessment based on materials, labour, site conditions, and professional judgment. When you ask a trade to beat someone else's quote without seeing your property, you're essentially comparing "apples to apple peels" – and the results can be disastrous.For property investors, this episode serves as a powerful reminder that you're running a business where success depends on quality partnerships and knowing where not to cut corners. Whether you're renovating to increase equity, attract better tenants, or address maintenance issues, the process matters as much as the outcome.Listen now to transform how you approach property improvements and build the relationships that will serve your investment goals for years to come. Your property – and your future self – will thank you.Send us a text If you have any questions or scenarios you would like us to discuss on an upcoming episode, please email [email protected] or visit https://www.exclusivelymanaged.com.au/Donate to the sleepbus foundation here. https://www.sleepbus.org/services/sleepbusfund
