In this episode, we walk you through seven practical tips that help you stay in the game. We talk about why speed and preparation matter more than ever, how to get to know your area like the back of your hand, and when it's time to pivot to surrounding suburbs if your dream location slips out of reach. We also explain why knowing property values inside and out is key, and why skipping due diligence; no matter how tempting, is never worth the risk.

We also get into auctions and pre-auction offers, and how we handle them with our clients. There's a lot of pressure out there, but when you understand the process and do the prep early, you can make strong, smart decisions without being swept up in fear or frustration.

So if you're feeling disheartened, we get it. We've been there. But don't tap out. With the right tools, a bit of grit, and a whole lot of preparation, you'll find your way through this. You're closer than you think.
