In this episode we sit down with Joanne Geary, Managing Director of MyHome.ie to talk about The Search. This is a part of the home buying journey that we rarely get to hear conversations about or insider info on. Laura asks Joanne her top tips for FTBs, how to set your search up for success and of course, the real tea behind the numbers.
Joanne has a wealth of experience in property and is the perfect person for episode 2 and this stage of your journey. Joanne spent 10 years driving the Sherry FitzGerald brand as Director of Marketing and Innovation. Previous to Sherry FitzGerald, Joanne held a board-level marketing role for Savills Ireland. This is a stunning conversation for any FTB that wants to know more and one I hope you enjoy.
