This month Kade, Ashleigh and Bobby are joined by realestate powerhouse, Jessica Vine. With 18 years of industry experience under her belt, you could say Jessica fulfilled her childhood dream of wanting to sell houses (we think that 8 year old girl who inspected estate homes would be so proud!). Her passion for realestate lead her and husband, Mitchell Vine, to unveiling one of Brisbane’s most sought after agencies, Vine Property Agents, where the team guides both buyers and sellers through their home ownership journey.

In this episode, Jessica teaches us the art of buying and selling property. Get ready for the full scoop of insider knowledge, from what types of properties are in demand at the moment to what are a bit slower off the mark; what makes a good offer; how rates are impacting buyers; and even how to go about staging for your open home! This is an episode for home buyers and sellers alike - so pour yourself a glass of pinot noir (Bobby’s ‘national day’ at the time of recording) and have a listen!

To connect with Jessica, visit the Vine Property Agent’s website and follow them on Instagram @vinepropertyagents.
