Local knowledge is so important when it comes to buying property. Aside from knowing the terrain, local buyers agents can give great insight and recommendations you otherwise wouldn’t have known on your own.

Today, we’re talking to a local expert, Buyers Agent Matthew Knight, who will be sharing his tips on what first home buyers should be looking for and the mistakes that can be avoided in his area. 

So, in this episode, we’re doing a regional spotlight, focusing on the things that first home buyers need to know about buying in the South Coast of New South Wales. From Wollongong all the way down to Batemans Bay, we cover what you need to know to get started!
