Join Owen Rask and buyer’s agent Amy Lunardi as they continue the analogy that somehow keeps making way too much sense.

In this episode (covering analogies 11–20), we chat through:

🔧 Thinking you can change someone

…or a property. Spoiler: You probably can’t—or at least not without time, cash, and a serious reno plan.

📱 Seeking offline opportunities

Off-market is the property version of meeting someone at a bar instead of Tinder. It takes effort, but it works.

🪞 It’s not them, it’s you

If you've been searching for six months and nothing ticks the boxes… maybe it's time to reassess your expectations.

👨‍👩‍👧 Your parents and friends don’t always know what’s best

Yes, even if they’re funding the purchase. Be selective with whose advice you take.

😮‍💨 Taking time to get over it

Lost at auction? Mucked around by an agent? Don’t let it derail your momentum.

😬 Settling out of desperation

Just like dating, don’t buy “good enough” because everyone else is. It might cost you more in the long run.

📸 Don’t swipe no too fast

A bad listing photo doesn’t mean it’s a bad property. Dig deeper before writing it off.

🗣️ Everyone will have an opinion

From Reddit threads to well-meaning mates—filter the noise and focus on your goals.

🦸‍♀️ Get a wingperson

Whether it’s your dad at an inspection or a buyer’s agent by your side, don’t go it alone.

💔 Break up if it’s not working

Bought something that no longer suits? Don’t stay stuck—cut your losses and move on.
