Taking Back Saturday

This week on Taking Back Saturday, we sit down with Remy Durieux of Remy’s Real Estate — a name you might recognise from many hilarious billboards around Brisbane's Southside.

Best known as a Carina specialist, townhouse expert, and sharp marketing mind, Remy breaks down what’s really working right now in the local market.

We dig into why townhouses are having a moment, how smart marketing can completely change a sale outcome, and what buyers and sellers in Carina need to understand to protect themselves and stay competitive.

This week on Taking Back Saturday, Sam and Chayse are talking to the movers, the upgraders and the upsizers thinking of buying and selling in the same market.

The big question is to sell first or buy first?

We break down both sides of the equation and what actually matters when making that decisions.

We cover:

• Why selling first gives you more certainty (and often a better price)
• How longer settlements and rent-backs can buy you time
• What it really takes to buy first successfully (hint: preparation is everything)
• Why subject-to-sale offers are so hard to get accepted right now
• The real risks involved in both approaches—and how to plan for them

This episode is all about having a clear strategy and understanding your position so you can move with confidence—not panic.

If you’re trying to time a buy and sell in today’s market, this one’s for you.
