    #170 — The Biggest Mistakes Property Buyers Make (And How Buyers Agents Fix Them)

    In this episode, we sit down with Tristan from Tomii Buyers Agents to break down the most common (and costly) mistakes property buyers make — and what experienced buyers agents do differently. We unpack why so many buyers get stuck in the market for 12–24 months, how the “unicorn property” mindset quietly destroys buying power, and why indecision is one of the most expensive mistakes buyers make in rising markets. Tristan shares real client stories from the field, including: How unrealistic expectations and overextended briefs stall purchases Why compromise is not failure — and how professionals choose what to compromise on The hidden risks buyers miss when they skip due diligence Why a $650 decision can prevent six-figure mistakes How buyers agents extract critical information from selling agents that most buyers never ask for If you’re buying property, or planning to help others do so - this episode will fundamentally change how you approach the process.

    #169 — From Corporate Payroll to Buyers Agent: Jess Rahman’s Career Pivot

    In this episode, we sit down with Jess Rahman, founder of Wise Wings Group, to unpack her honest journey from a stable corporate career into building a buyers agency business aligned with freedom, family, and long-term investing. Jess didn’t enter the buyers agent space chasing entrepreneurship or quick wins. She originally joined the Buyers Agent Institute to educate herself as an investor while working full time in corporate payroll, managing millions of dollars each month for large organisations. Years later, a major personal turning point forced a reassessment of priorities — and ultimately, a decisive shift. In this conversation, Jess breaks down: Why she joined Buyers Agent Institute years before starting a business The internal moment that made staying in corporate impossible How she transitioned without blowing up her borrowing capacity What her early years as a buyers agent actually looked like (including 23 deals before restructuring) How she rebuilt her business with intention, structure, and lifestyle design The deeper motivation behind her work: helping families avoid financial stress through smarter property decisions Website: https://wisewingsgroup.com/ Achieve Financial Freedom & Transform Your Career by Becoming a Buyer’s Agent: https://buyersagentinstitute.com.au Join our FREE property group @ https://www.facebook.com/groups/630201924257307 Check out our reviews @ https://www.facebook.com/buyersagentinstitute/reviews

    #168 — From $150 in his Pocket to a Six-Figure Buyers Agency: Manoj Sahare’s Story

    In this episode, Manoj Sahare breaks down his full journey from a 17-year corporate career to building a high-performing buyers agency from scratch. After losing his job, Manoj faced a decision many professionals fear: return to safety, or start again with no fallback. He chose the harder path - giving himself 1,000 days to make it work as a buyer’s agent. We cover: - The moment he decided to leave corporate certainty behind - Why he committed to the “1,000-day rule” instead of quitting early - How he landed his first buyer’s agent deal by door-knocking - What his first year really looked like (clients, income, pressure) - How he built a referral-driven business (95% repeat and referral clients) - The mindset shift from employee to business owner - Why patience, decisiveness, and human connection outperform tactics This conversation is a grounded, real look at what it actually takes to transition into a buyers agent career - especially for professionals starting later, switching industries, or rebuilding after disruption.
