In this episode of Fast Track, Derek sits down with Laura, one of Aera’s First Home Finders, to tackle the top questions she hears every day from first-home buyers. From “Is Aera a scam?” to “How much deposit do I really need?” they unpack the truths behind the myths, explain how the market really works, and share practical tips to help Kiwis get into their first home faster.

Discover why new builds can be the smarter choice, how KiwiSaver and Aera’s coaching system can speed up your journey, and hear stories of buyers turning a “no” from the bank into a “yes” in just days. Whether you’re saving, dreaming, or ready to act, this episode will give you clarity, confidence, and the tools to take the next step.
