If you’re starting to think about selling your home, you probably have questions: Where do I start? Who do I talk to? What are my options?

Buying a bigger home is an exciting step, but it’s also a big commitment. Whether you’re looking for more bedrooms, bigger living spaces, or a better location for your family, upsizing can improve your quality of life, but it’s not without costs and trade-offs.

Navigating the property market can be complex, especially when it comes to securing the right mortgage. One of the first decisions many buyers face is whether to use a mortgage broker, which can save time, offer expertise, and provide access to multiple lenders, but they’re not always the right choice for everyone.
There are countless resources for property investors, from government guides to expert podcasts and active social media communities. Rather than repeat what’s already well covered, here are some great trusted places to start exploring:
Renovating can feel overwhelming, especially if it’s your first time. But with the right guidance, planning, and a few trusted contacts, it can also be one of the most rewarding journeys you’ll ever take in a home.
Over the years, through renovating and selling numerous homes, I’ve carefully built a network of reliable tradies, verified vendors, and specialist service providers that I confidently recommend.
