Stacey Mitchell joins Cate in the studio to discuss all things regional investing with Cate. Stacey works with Cate Bakos Property as a Buyer’s Advocate and Stacey is based in Melbourne’s biggest, (and closest) regional city; Geelong.

Stacey and Cate met back in 2014 and it was Stacey’s sheer enthusiasm to learn more about the art of auction bidding and negotiation that was the seed for her working relationship with Cate.

Stacey trained as an auction bidder for two years following her own client assignment and successfully supported Cate with some Geelong auctions over the years following, and Stacey joined the crew formally as an advocate in January 2020. Aside from working in the business, Stacey is also an avid proof-reader, a great writer herself and Stacey’s desire to host this segment bought this mini-series to life.

For this series’ first episode, Stacey takes the chair and asks Cate some great questions about the reasons why investors turn to the regions, the misconceptions about regional investing, and she enables Cate to unlock some great concepts for our listeners.
