Buying a home is a huge milestone, often filled with excitement but also daunting complexity. For many, navigating the property market can feel like stepping into uncharted territory. That’s where OwnHome’s free property consultant service comes in – to make buying a home simpler, less stressful, and more rewarding.

On average, most first home buyers take almost a year to buy their first home. With OwnHome, clients purchase on average within 2 months, thanks to the expert guidance, thorough property research and confidence clients feel with our help.

Here’s how OwnHome’s expert service supports every step of your journey to homeownership.

Supercharged home hunting

One of the first challenges in home buying is finding the right property.

You're the expert on your preferences, so while we can’t tell you what you want in a home, we can help make the process more efficient and enjoyable. Once you've found a property you're interested in, you can add it to our custom built home-finder tool which makes comparing, inspecting and prioritising your properties a breeze. So whether it’s the right school catchment area, commute distance, or lifestyle you're after, our team is here to help you find your ideal match.

💡 Most clients find and add 26 homes to home finder before finding 'the one'!

In-depth market analysis

Understanding market conditions can be challenging, especially when it’s your first time buying a home. Most Australians buy one or two homes in their lifetime, whereas real estate agents sell hundreds a year.

Should you trust a guide price? How do you figure out a better guide price? When do you get a building and pest inspection report? How do I know if there is sufficient money in the strata fund? You shouldn’t need to be a finance and legal expert to make a great home buying decision with OwnHome - because we’ll help you with it all.

While the real estate market can shift due to factors like economic conditions, interest rates, and local demand. OwnHome’s property consultants bring you up-to-speed with in-depth market analysis, so you have a clear picture of property values and local trends.

With this information, you can make informed decisions on timing, location, and pricing. Our property consultants provide you with data-driven insights, empowering you to purchase at a fair market price without overpaying or missing out on hidden opportunities.

💡 We’ll help you uncover your real must-haves list as part of the purchase journey

Offer strategy and negotiation

Once you’ve found a home you love, the next hurdle is getting the best possible deal. With OwnHome’s team, you have an experienced negotiator on your side. We work closely with you to develop an effective offer strategy that maximises your chances of securing the property on favourable terms.

Our team understands the art and science of negotiation, with strategies tailored to current market conditions and your financial goals. Whether it’s negotiating price, settlement terms, or contingencies, our property consultants advocate for you, helping you secure your home for a price you’re proud of.

And if the property isn’t sold via private treaty but instead at auction, we can bid for you up to the maximum that you’ve pre-agreed.

💡 Real estate agents prefer selling to first home buyers with a consultant, as they know the process will be smooth and straightforward for their client.

Due diligence support

Property due diligence is a crucial step and our team helps you dot the Is and cross the Ts.

We’ll help you make the most of property inspections, secure professional property reports, and access other assessments to ensure you fully understand any risks associated with the property. Every property has its own quirks, and this step ensures you avoid costly surprises and can make a confident purchase.

💡 Included with the service are four free professional property reports, valued at up to $2,400.

Personalised guidance throughout the buying process

Buying a home is more than a transaction; it’s a journey. From the moment you start searching to the day you settle on your dream home, our property consultants are with you every step of the way.

With our end-to-end guidance, you have a trusted team to answer your questions, clarify each phase, and support you through the inevitable twists and turns.

💡 You’ll get the support of expert conveyancers, building inspectors and valuers to help you too!
