5. Are you comfortable reading and interpreting title documents and understanding what restrictions or obligations may apply?
6. Do you feel confident about the financial and administrative steps involved (stamp duty categories, VOI, insurance timing, settlement adjustments)?
7. Do you understand the purpose and meaning of inclusions in a Vendor Statement, such as certificates, disclosures and property-specific notices?
8. Are you confident in your understanding of common buyer questions (cooling-off period, caveats, licence agreements, joint tenants vs tenants in common)?
9. Do you feel prepared to do your own due diligence on a property without needing general guidance?
10. Overall, do you feel you have a clear, high-level understanding of the entire purchasing process from start to finish?

If you answered YES to 7-10 questions:

You’re in a very strong position and likely ready to begin the buying process. It sounds like you have a solid grasp of the essentials and may not need additional support right now.

If you answered YES to 4-6 questions:

You’re in a good position and already understand some important parts of the process. A session may help you clarify the remaining areas, boost your confidence, and smooth out any uncertainties before you move forward.

If you answered YES to 0-3 questions:

You’re on the right track, but further education could greatly strengthen your understanding and confidence. A 30 or 60-minute session would help fill any remaining gaps and ensure you’re fully prepared before making decisions.
