WHEN: Wednesday 23rd September WHERE: Maidstone Mercure Hotel , Hollingbourne, Maidstone ME17 1RE DOORS OPEN: 6.30pm onwards We have a jam packed start to the last quarter of the year.We kick off with the fabulous PAUL RIBBONSPaul is a legendary auction trader whose take on market cycles is always inciteful.This month Paul will be talking about the psychology of the deal, his view on the current property market. Is it in trouble ? How to navigate through it and how changing the way you look at situations and thinking outside the box will release opportunities other people don't see. THE PSYCHOLOGY OF THE DEAL Why seeing what everyone else sees won't give you an advantage Property investors have never had access to more information. AI, data, portals, software, and technology can find properties, analyse areas, estimate values and crunch numbers faster than ever before. Fantastic. But there's one slight problem. Everyone else has access to it too. Paul Ribbons has spent nearly 40 years buying and selling property, and in this talk he's going to look at something very different — the psychology behind the deal. How do you find out what you really need to know from an estate agent without simply asking the obvious questions? Why can approaching something from the opposite direction sometimes get you further? What happens psychologically in an auction room when a property suddenly becomes desirable — and why can the same property struggles to sell a few weeks later? And why can two investors look at the same property, with the same information, and see two completely different opportunities? Paul will explore reverse psychology, human behaviour, and something he calls Shifting Paradigms — the ability to change the way you see a situation and suddenly see possibilities that weren't there before. This isn't another talk about which property strategy you should be doing. It's about understanding people, information and situations — and learning to see what other people miss. Because technology might help you find the opportunity.But it still takes a human being to recognise it.Paul is passionate about helping people take difficult situations and turning them something worth fighting for .We also have our resident expert GRAHAM KINNEAR talking about the impending Landlords Database rollout beginning from this December.
