Things that you've lived with but really do need to be fixed. That [...]
If you're in the market for a new home or investment property, it's a pretty exciting time. You've got all those properties to look at, all those agents to talk to, all those homes to try to imagine yourself living in now and in 5-10 years time. It's exciting but sometimes a little daunting too. You may also be trying to sell your own home, keeping [...]
Spring is almost on our doorstep and that means that the real estate market is getting ready to heat up. Winter has seen a bit of uncertainty in the market and some slowdowns in certain areas around the country, but as the experts say, the aim is to buy and sell in the same market. If you've got itchy feet and you're ready to move or you're determined [...]
The month of public holidays has been and gone, and what bliss it was to pack up, unplug and take off for a few days. I hope you managed to take a break too!

The part that is often hard is securing finance. Whether you need personal finance, a mortgage, car finance or an asset loan, it’s not always easy, and sometimes can be costly. This [...]

The First Home Loan Deposit Scheme and First Homebuyer Super [...]
No matter how much I love summer, I do love the changing of seasons. Are you the same or are you dreading the thought of the cold that is coming? We just had the best holiday in Bali. It was so good to get away, recharge and enjoy the beautiful sunshine, amazing organic food and the people. It's the kindness of the people that is the memory [...]

Autumn is here! Whilst I love summer, I really love this time of year. It's a bit cooler, things seem less manic, we're basking in the glow of summer and making the most of the warmer days that we're gifted with. The real estate market has slowed down a little after another bumper summer sales season. Listings are still strong - as is demand. Interest rates [...]
