Ever looked at property prices and thought "there is absolutely no way"?

You're not alone. For a lot of women, especially those doing it solo, the property market can feel like a club you were never given the membership code for. But here's the thing: it doesn't have to be.

Briony Benjamin steps in as guest host of Get Rich while Molly is on maternity leave, and she's bringing you one of our most practical episodes yet!

This week, Briony sits down with Jade Fitzgerald, Brisbane-based buyer's agent and founder of Ideal Buyer's Agency, to break down everything you need to know about buying property in Australia under $700k.

Whether you've been putting off buying because it feels too expensive, too complicated, or you think you need a partner to do it with, this episode is for you.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• What a buyer's agent actually does and how they're completely different from a real estate agent
• Why you should never share your pre-approval with a selling agent (and what to say instead)
• What a $700k budget can realistically buy you in Australia right now
• The case for investing regionally and how to follow government spending to find the best opportunities
• Why you don't need to live in a property for it to build serious long-term wealth
• The two contract clauses you must have before signing anything
• What to actually look for in a building and pest inspection report
• The biggest mistakes buyers make and how to avoid them
• How buyer's agent fees work and why they often pay for themselves

The biggest takeaway from this episode? Just start. You don't need a partner, a million-dollar budget, or to know everything, you just need to take the first step.

🎧 Perfect for: women thinking about buying their first home or investment property, anyone curious about how buyer's agents work, and anyone who's been waiting until they feel "ready" to get into the market.
