Meet Jared Zak: The legal backbone behind seamless property deals
What really happens after you sign on the dotted line? In this episode, I sit down with Jared Zak, founder of one of the largest conveyancing firms in New South Wales, to unpack the often-overlooked world behind contracts, settlements, and the emotional rollercoaster of property transactions.
Jared brings a rare blend of calm authority and real-world insight to the table. We dive deep into what happens when deals go sideways, why bank delays are more common than you think, and how to navigate family dynamics like the Bank of Mum and Dad, without creating legal landmines.
Whether you’re a first-home buyer, investor, or industry professional, this is a must-listen if you want to understand how to protect yourself, your money, and your peace of mind.
This episode is packed with hard-won lessons, behind-the-scenes stories, and practical advice that could save you thousands and a whole lot of stress.
