Today's guest on Property Secrets, Jessica Osborne, is the founder of Josh Develop and the author of the book 'Buyer's Guide to Builders'. Jessica put everything she learned over her years of experience into this helpful resource written for anyone building a home. Her journey into educating people in this area was inspired by her own experiences and those of her clients who were concerned about the building process. Further to Jessica's book she also runs a 6-hour workshop to provide even more support and education for people who are building a house.

In today's episode of Property Secrets Jessica shares her journey and explores key topics which she finds buyers are often uneducated about before they enter into a building contract.
