575 | Ray White Refused to Sell My Property, A $30K Loss & Getting Sucked in With the Sparkles - Chat with Alannah

Folks, Summer Series is officially here!

And we’re kicking it off with a masterclass in avoiding costly mistakes. 

At just 19, Alannah jumped into the property market, full of excitement, determination, and trust in the advice around her.

But when her “dream” off-the-plan apartment in Werribee South became a financial anchor instead of an investment, she learned the hard way that not all property advice is created equal.

In this episode, Alannah opens up about:
🏡 The $360K property lesson that changed everything
🚩 How to recognise (and avoid) property spruikers under the guise of “educators” 
💸 The emotional side of money and learning how to reset
📈 Rebuilding confidence through education, planning, and action

Listen now, because every investor makes mistakes, but the best ones learn fast and move forward.
