On an interview with news.com.au, WBP Group Executive Chairman and one of the leading Buyer's Advocate on The Block, Greville Pabst said, “I am shocked they (Mitch and Mark) didn’t make more money. The order has a lot to do with it. I think a lot of people do this, they wait and see what tone is going to be set which has a big influence on things.”

Here's what Mitch and Mark learned from The Block and how to win a reality TV show:

Mitch and Mark had a stunning start to their Block auction — they secured more than $200,000 in the first 45 seconds of bidding — but the Bondi boys still have one piece of advice for future contestants.

CoreLogic data released last week showed Melbourne house values had fallen 9 per cent in the past 12 months, while rising 3.9 per cent in Geelong. Mr Pabst said Geelong offered buyers more affordable choices. “It’s like Melbourne — you have to be selective where you buy,” he said. “But if you are, I think it’s going to outperform Melbourne in the next couple of years.”

While “location, location, location” might be an “old cliche” it holds important meaning, according to WBP Group chief executive Greville Pabst.

He said the phrase could break down a great location into three levels — the suburb, the street and the position of the property itself — and each was equally important.
