Julie spent 60 years living in Tasmania, building a career she loved as a primary school principal. When retirement arrived, she decided it was time for her next adventure - a fresh start in Melbourne. There was just one problem... She didn't quite know the city well enough to execute the move alone. In this episode, Julie shares what it was like relocating interstate, trying to understand Melbourne's countless suburbs, and navigating one of Australia's most competitive property markets without local knowledge. We chat about why she decided to work with a buyer's advocate, how her search evolved, and why the home she ultimately purchased wasn't in the suburb she originally had her heart set on. It's an honest conversation about trusting the process, keeping an open mind, and making confident property decisions when everything around you feels unfamiliar. Whether you're relocating, buying in a new area, or simply curious about what it's like to have someone in your corner throughout the search, Julie's story is one we think you'll really enjoy.
