S7E6: Why You as a First Time Buyer will Not Buying 2026, with Jacob Thorne from Port Finance

In this episode of the No BS Real Estate Podcast, Jo Agresta sits down with Jacob Thorne from Port Finance Group to unpack the real reason most first time buyers (owner occupiers or investors), stay stuck - even when they earn enough and have savings. Spoiler: it’s not money. It’s fear, misinformation and all leading to analysis paralysis. Jacob breaks down why first home buyers hesitate, how hidden costs quietly derail confidence, and why being upfront with your broker can shave months off your buying timeline. This is the episode for buyers who feel “not ready yet” — but secretly are, because they know that taking more time means losing out more. Meanwhile, confident buyers are quietly moving ahead and growing their assets. Want help getting into the market faster and with clarity?
