In about an hour I'll walk you through the three numbers that decide whether you overpay on a property, and show you how to work them out yourself, so you can walk into an open home knowing exactly what the place is worth.
No cost, no pitch dressed up as a lesson, and you can ask me anything live on the night.
James has been involved in more than 1,200 property purchases, nine of those years as a buyer's agent.
The price or range the agent puts in front of you is a strategy, and once you can see what it is doing you stop treating it as the value of the home.
What the place is genuinely worth, worked out from what has actually sold around it, in plain steps you can follow on a Saturday morning.
The number you set in cold blood, well before the day, so an auction stops being a test of nerve and becomes a decision you already made.
I spent fifteen years in Australian property, nine of them as a buyer's agent and the rest in sales, so I know how agents think, how properties really get priced, and where first home buyers get caught out.
Nobody sat you down and explained any of this. Not at school, not at the bank, and not at the open home. That is the gap this hour is built to close.
James Rankin, Coach at First Home Club
"James and the team were extremely helpful in taking us through our first buying experience. Being responsive, calculated and calm through the journey was exactly what we needed to execute our plan."
Taylor and EmmaFirst home buyers
"James recently helped us with the purchase of our first home and we couldn't have done it without him. As first home buyers we had a heap of questions and the support helped ease our nerves throughout the process."
Michael & AshleighFirst home buyers
"No question was a stupid question. He was extremely prompt, clear with information and open to chat each step of the journey. I would highly recommend for first home buyers."
Claire R.First home buyer
Yes, completely. Come along, take the three numbers away and use them on the next place you look at, whether or not you ever hear from us again.
About an hour, and then I stay on to answer questions for as long as people have them.
That is honestly the best time to come. The three numbers are far easier to learn when there is no property in front of you and no clock running.
Pre-approval tells you what you can borrow, and it tells you nothing about what a place is worth. That second question is the whole session.
No. Cameras stay off unless you want it on, and you can type your questions in the chat instead of speaking.
Register anyway and I'll send you the replay. You'll get more out of it live though, because you can ask about your own situation.
No, it is general education only. I'll show you how to read a market and value a property, and any decision about your money or your loan stays yours, ideally with your broker in the loop.
No. I teach the three numbers properly, because that is what you came for. At the end I'll tell you about First Home Club for anyone who wants to keep going with us, and you're very welcome to take the lesson and leave it there.
Free, live on Zoom, about an hour, and you'll leave knowing how to tell what a place is actually worth.
