Josh & Zarah, Perth

  • First-Home Buyers
  • New Build

When we flew over to Sydney to visit Uncle Joe, we were just catching up — never in our wildest dreams did we think that convo around the dinner table would lead to owning our first home. Bro, we thought we had like – years to go before even thinking about buying. But Uncle Joe? He broke it down for us in a way that actually made sense. Just real talk. Turns out — we already had enough saved to get started. No fancy tricks. Just good guidance and the right support. Property prices in Perth were climbing fast, so with Uncle Joe’s help, we were able to lock in our first build with just a deposit — and still qualify under the government grant caps. That part was huge. Now, to be honest, Uncle doesn’t usually recommend first time buyers build. But he knew our heart, and he backed us — with extra guidance so we didn’t get caught out. He told us where to pay deposits, how to keep the builder accountable, what timelines to watch, and how to manage contractors without getting walked all over. Straight up — that saved us so much stress. Now the house is done. It’s ours. And I already know — Uncle’s gonna check in once we settle to make sure we’re sweet. He always does. Grateful isn’t even the word. Thank you, Uncle Joe. You helped us start our future early — and the right way.
