What Nobody Tells You About Making an Offer on Your Dream Home

Found a house you love but not sure what happens next? The excitement of house hunting can quickly turn to confusion when it's time to make an offer. In this practical episode, we demystify the crucial steps between getting pre-approval and making an offer on your dream home.

House hunting should be fun, not stressful! We share actionable tips to streamline your property search, from creating a prioritized checklist of must-haves versus compromises to leveraging websites like Trade Me and building relationships with flexible real estate agents who can accommodate your schedule. Can't make that Sunday open home? Don't worry - we explain how agents can often arrange private viewings that work around your availability.

The offer process itself comes with potential pitfalls that can trip up even the most prepared buyers. We reveal one of the most overlooked yet critical errors people make when signing sales and purchase agreements - dating the document before vendors sign! This simple mistake could cost you valuable days on your finance conditions. Plus, we explore the complexities of using KiwiSaver for deposits (not all lawyers handle this the same way), how to choose the right property lawyer, and what happens when your offer is accepted and moves to conditional approval.

Ready to navigate the property market with confidence? Listen now, and be sure to stay tuned for our next episode where we'll explain what happens after your conditions are met and you go unconditional on your property purchase.
