Episode Synopsis

What's holding you back from homeownership? Fear? Uncertainty? The belief that you're simply not ready? In this heartfelt episode, we unpack a common phenomenon we've encountered countless times - people who are financially prepared to buy their first home but mentally convinced they aren't.We share the story of a migrant couple we recently met who, despite having $90,000 in KiwiSaver, a combined income of $200,000, and minimal debt, believed homeownership was out of reach. The moment of realization when they discovered their mortgage payments would be comparable to their current rent was powerful - suddenly, the impossible became possible. We walk through how we helped them address specific fears by writing them down and tackling each concern methodically, transforming vague anxieties into solvable problems.The emotional impact of this work drives us. When a single mother reached out simply wanting "someone in her corner" to discuss numbers with, or when we received a heartfelt email from clients thanking us for giving them confidence in their homeownership journey, it reinforces why first-home buyers hold a special place in our hearts. These moments fuel our passion through the challenges of changing policies and bank requirements.Don't let uncertainty keep you from taking that first step. Whether you think you're ready or not, reaching out for guidance can transform your journey. We can confirm if you're prepared to buy now or create a roadmap to get you there sooner than you might imagine. Stop thinking, start doing - you might be surprised to discover you're closer to homeownership than you ever realized.Send us a text Support the showBuy your first home in NZ Weekly Webinars You thought it's not possible or the dream is too far away?
