Love It or Leave It? Dissect a real Melbourne listing with the Lumescout Home Entourage
Description
Scrolling, swooning over property? Our job is looking at property and we share what we'd look for. Will you love it or will you leave it?
If scrolling property listings and swooning over renovation Instagrams is your guilty pleasure, this Melbourne property webinar is for you.
Buyers advocate and property development specialist Kaz McBride-Chau (founder of Lumescout & buyers advocate at Australian Hotspotting Advocacy) is joined by ProView building inspectors Sarah & Dean Miller and Harmoni Feng Shui practitioner Katherine Reed for a live, podcast-style panel. Together we'll pull apart two real property listings — the commercial value, the floorplan's flow and functionality, and everything the photos don't show: structural red flags, environmental risks and zoning. Plus identify why the vibes your gut picks up that no contract of sale can capture.
You'll learn:
How to read a floorplan for liveability, not just square metres
What a building inspection actually catches (and misses)
Commercial and structural red flags most buyers overlook
How feng shui applies to everyday Australian homes
The current pulse of the Melbourne property market

Dean & Sarah Miller
Dean and Sarah Miller are the husband and wife team behind ProView Building Inspections, based in South East Melbourne. Dean spent nearly 20 years building homes before he started inspecting them.

FAQs
- Who is this event for?
Anyone dreaming of buying, building or optimising their home — whether you're a first-time buyer, upgrading, considering an investment property or improving your current space. It's especially designed for people who bring the same intent to their home decisions as they do to their careers.
- Do I need to own property already to attend?
Not at all. Whether you scroll home styling ideas for inspiration or you're actively house-hunting, there's something here for you.
- I can't make it live — will it be recorded?
Yes! Register anyway and we'll send you the recording afterwards so you don't miss out.
- Is there a cost to attend?
No, this is completely free. We won't try to make you buy anything after either. We just ask that you think of us when you're looking for a professional buyers advocate, feng shui practitioner or building inspector.
- How long does it run for?
50 minutes, from 8:00pm–8:50pm AEST. SHARP.
It's a midweek event, we know you have busy lives and we all love sleep. So join our chat as you wind down and we'll make sure we're done by 8:50pm.
- Is this specific to Melbourne properties?
We will review one Melbourne property, and one secret other location somewhere in Australia. The principles — floorplan flow, building inspection red flags, feng shui — apply anywhere in Australia.
- What if I have more questions before and after the event?
