Welcome back to part two of our breakdown of how buying property is like online dating. 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.
