Sick of trying to navigate the property market by yourself?
If this is you, you’re in the right place:
- You’re exhausted by uncertainty - and it’s affecting your sleep, stress levels, and even your relationships.
- You’re over-researching while the market keeps moving and you fear that you are getting left behind.
- You’re buying solo and need a trusted framework (not opinions from well-meaning friends and family who aren't real estate experts).
- You’ve been burnt by bad advice, and you have analysis paralysis! And now you don’t know what to believe, so you do nothing.
The average buying journey
takes 44 weeks!
That's almost a year out of your life!
In that time, dwelling values moved an average of 6.0% in Sydney and 9.9% nationally. Delaying the process is expensive - you are literally being priced out of the market by buying too slowly.
This online program is our answer to helping people bridge that knowledge gap so you can buy quicker, smarter and with far less stress.

Introducing the:
Better Home Buying
Online Program
Learn → Decide → Execute.
Buying property is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make — yet most buyers walk into the process underprepared and overwhelmed by conflicting advice.
Better Home Buying is designed to change that.
Created by Sydney Buyer’s Agent Michelle May, this program walks you step-by-step through the entire buying journey so you can make clear decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and buy with confidence.
Inside the program, you’ll learn how to disconnect from the noise surrounding property and focus on what actually matters when making a smart purchase.
You’ll gain practical tools including:
- Agent scripts so you stay in control of conversations and avoid oversharing.
- Due diligence checklists to protect yourself legally, financially and structurally before making an offer.
- Inspection frameworks so you assess property strategically rather than emotionally.
- Offer and auction guidance so you negotiate and bid with calm and clarity.
- Settlement guidance so you understand exactly what happens between exchange and receiving the keys.
This is not a theory.
It’s the exact framework professional buyers use when purchasing property.
MODULE #1
Why are you purchasing?
Before you start looking at properties, you need to understand why you're buying in the first place.
In this module you’ll clarify your motivations, priorities and long-term goals so you don’t get distracted by the wrong property or pushed into decisions that don’t align with your strategy.
MODULE #2
Budget & Pre-Approval
Understanding your true buying power is critical before entering the market.
You’ll learn how banks assess borrowing capacity, what upfront costs to expect, and how to position yourself for a smooth loan approval so you can search with confidence.
MODULE #3
Capital Growth
Not all properties perform equally over time.
In this module you’ll learn how to recognise the characteristics that drive long-term capital growth, so you can choose a home that supports both your lifestyle and your financial future.
MODULE #4
Property Selection
Once you understand what makes a good property, the next step is shortlisting intelligently.
You’ll learn how to filter listings, avoid emotional traps during inspections, and focus your attention on properties that genuinely meet your criteria.
MODULE #5
Interacting with Agents
Selling agents are skilled negotiators whose job is to achieve the best result for their seller.
In this module you’ll learn how to communicate effectively with agents, ask the right questions, and manage conversations so you stay informed without revealing too much.
MODULE #6
Due Diligence
Before you make an offer, you need to fully understand what you’re buying.
This module covers the checks buyers should complete to protect themselves legally, financially and structurally — including reviewing contracts, strata reports and building issues.
MODULE #7
Offers & Auctions
Making an offer or bidding at auction can be one of the most stressful parts of buying.
You’ll learn how to structure strong offers, understand negotiation dynamics, and prepare for auction so you can participate with clarity and confidence.
MODULE #8
Settlement
Once contracts are exchanged, the process isn’t finished yet.
In this module you’ll learn what happens between exchange and settlement, what your responsibilities are during this period, and how to ensure everything runs smoothly through to receiving your keys.
FINAL MODULE + BONUS MODULE
Wrap-Up + Buyer’s Action Plan
The program finishes with a structured Buyer’s Action Plan that helps you apply everything you’ve learned.
You’ll walk away with a clear roadmap so you can move forward confidently and buy better.
8 Weeks of Live Expert Group Coaching
This is not a course that you should do alone.
Self-learning is great. But you always have questions, and getting answers and being provided with expert clarity is what buys quality homes.
The group coaching gives you access to Michelle’s brain in the moments that matter - when you’re unsure, when the market’s moving, when you’re about to overthink or under-offer.
It’s where strategy replaces emotion, and action replaces confusion and 'analysis paralysis'.
What are the real benefits of being coached by Michelle?
- Buyer-first guidance (not salesy). Strategy designed to protect your outcome.
- Real-world experience. Renovation + negotiation know-how you can actually apply.
- A calm framework in a noisy market. Replaces overwhelm with clear steps and better decisions.
