Answering Reddit property questions

In this episode, Amy Lunardi (buyer’s agent) and Owen Rask (Rask founder) go rogue — answering real, unfiltered property questions pulled straight from Reddit. Whether you’re a first home buyer feeling auction fatigue, a hopeful investor eyeing Glenroy or Reservoir, or someone baffled by a body corp’s sinking fund — this one's for you. 💬 What We Cover: - Should you make an offer before auction? Amy shares a clear 3-step strategy for navigating off-market deals without showing your whole hand. - Are buyer’s agents worth it? The honest answer (even from a buyer’s agent). - Building & pest inspections for apartments — necessary or not? - Why you can’t always trust real estate agents — and how to protect yourself. - WTF is a holding deposit, and should you pay it? - Underquoting decoded: When it’s accidental vs when you’re being played. - Body corporate red flags: What to do when the admin fund is up but the maintenance fund is in the red. - How to handle auction heartbreak — and what to do if you’re losing out every time. - Why Pinterest is for reno inspo and Reddit is (sometimes) for property advice. - Plus, a healthy dose of side-eye at TikTok property ‘experts’ 🔥 Quotes from the Episode: "Don't go in with an offer until you've asked the right three questions first." "Reddit is a noisy place — some advice is gold, and some is downright dangerous." "You get on the boat if it’s a good boat. It doesn’t matter if it’s already left the dock."
