Making an offer on a home is a big step, and getting it right can mean the difference between securing the property or missing out—or worse, overpaying! In this episode, we're answering your questions about making offers, interpreting price guides (or the lack thereof), and the biggest mistakes buyers make when relying on an agent's price range.
 

💡 Should you always offer above the guide price?
💡 How can you tell if a property is overpriced or underpriced?
💡 What's the best way to make an offer that actually gets considered?

We're unpacking it all, with real-world tips to help you make smarter decisions and avoid costly missteps. If you're getting ready to make an offer, or just want to understand the process better, this one's for you—grab your headphones and let's get stuck into it!
