Are you thinking about building your first home but not sure where to start or whether you even need a building broker? In this episode, our host Adam Schaal sits down with Daniel Dinelli, General Manager Sales at Move Homes, to unpack the rise of the building broker and why it's reshaping how Australians buy and build their first home. They break down exactly what a building broker does, why Move Homes made the bold decision to ditch their internal sales team and go broker-only, and why the shift in consumer behaviour mirrors what we've already seen with mortgage brokers, Uber, and Netflix. We cover: • What a building broker actually is, and what they do for first home buyers • Why the shift to brokers is a natural evolution, just like mortgage broking and ride share • How to be sceptical of online forums like Building in Perth, and why they don't always tell the full story • Why Move Homes chose brokers as their preferred sales model and what that means for clients • What separates a great broker from an average one • Whether clients pay more going through a broker • What COVID taught the building industry about communication, accountability, and trust Whether you're a first home buyer or a first time investor, this episode gives you the honest, unfiltered picture of how the building industry really works, and how to use it to your advantage. Don't just take what you read online at face value. Get educated, ask the right questions, and build with confidence.
