Rachelle started out as a criminal lawyer, and was quickly thrown in the deep end, facing up to Supreme and Federal Court judges on her first year out of uni. 

It was at her current firm, that Rachelle really found the right niche for her, eventually partnering to provide specialised and boutique legal services.

She sat down with Chris to discuss conveyancing, what legal traps to avoid when you're buying a property, and the launch of the upcoming Vietnamese Museum Australia.

With over 40 years in the real estate industry, Terry Ryder has specialised as a researcher and writer on Australian real estate since 1982 and has published four real estate books. When he was writing for Money magazine identifying upcoming real estate 'hotspots', Terry had the idea to build his own business, 'Hotspotting', which has grown to become Australia's #1 real estate analysis company.
