If you’ve been spending your nights scrolling realestate.com.au or Domain, convincing yourself it counts as research — this episode is your wake-up call.

In this week’s episode, Veronica and Meighan reveal the truth about why endless scrolling isn't a strategy, and how to build a first home buying plan that actually works. You’ll learn how to move from chaos to clarity using their three key pillars — your goals, your finances, and your property plan — so you can stop ping-ponging between suburbs and start making real progress.

They unpack why most first home buyers get the order wrong, the emotional traps that derail your search, and how a clear “why” behind your purchase will guide every decision you make. You’ll also hear real stories of buyers who wasted years in research mode until they built a strategy — and how one simple mindset shift helped them buy within six weeks.

If you’re ready to stop reacting to listings and start leading your property journey with confidence, this episode is your blueprint for smarter, calmer, and more strategic buying.

Listen now and learn how to build your first home strategy — the right way.
