Why come

Everything you need,
all in one room.

Most first-timers piece this together from Google, TikTok and one awkward bank phone call. We've put the whole team in the same room so you can ask follow-up questions.

Straight talk, no jargon

Pre-approval, stamp duty, settlement, LMI. All explained in plain English by people who do this every day.

Four experts, one panel

Mortgage broker, real estate agent, solicitor and insurance broker. All on the same night, all happy to chat after.

Bring the awkward questions

Open Q&A built into the night. No "stupid" questions when it's your biggest purchase ever.

Good questions

Things people ask before booking.

I haven't started looking yet, is this still for me?

Yes. This night is actually perfect for the "I've been thinking about it" stage. We cover what to do before you start house hunting (it's more than you'd think).

Will I be sold to?

No. The point of the night is education. If you want to follow up with anyone afterwards, that's your call. Zero pressure on the night.

Can I bring my partner or a friend?

Absolutely, choose 2+ seats in the form above. Plus-ones are encouraged. Big decision, two heads are better than one.

What if I can't make it last minute?

Just shoot us a quick email so we can free up your seat for someone on the waitlist.

Is parking easy?

Yes. There's on-street parking along Ruthven St and a free car park around the back of the Realway office.

Are dietary requirements catered for?

Pizza includes a vegetarian option as standard. Let us know in the RSVP form if you have any specific dietary requirements and we'll make sure there's something for you.
