S7E5: The “DIY Tax” in Property: Why Buying Alone Costs More with Rob Panetta

In this episode of the No BS Real Estate Podcast, Jo Agresta sits down with Rob Panetta from Lux Buyers Agents to challenge the most expensive belief in property: “I’ll buy it myself and save money.” Rob explains the “DIY Tax” — the hidden cost buyers pay through slower decisions, weaker negotiations, missed off-market access, and emotional calls that feel logical in the moment… then cost you later. If you’d hire a professional to sell your property, this episode breaks down why buying alone in a complex Australian market is like trying to represent yourself in court — technically possible, usually costly. 🎯 Want to buy faster and negotiate with an actual strategy?
