Hi, I'm Michelle May
I’ve been a buyers agent since 2008, working inside Australia’s busiest real estate market, helping buyers make calm, strategic decisions in what is often a very emotional process.
Over the years I began to notice something: many buyers weren’t lacking motivation, they were lacking clarity.
They were surrounded by opinions, headlines, and pressure, but very few people were teaching them how to actually think through a property decision.
That’s also why I started the Buy Your Side podcast - to help buyers understand what’s really happening behind the scenes of the property market.
That same thinking is what led me to create Better Home Buying.
Inside this program I share the same frameworks, strategies and due-diligence processes I use with my private clients - so more buyers can approach the market with clarity, confidence and control.
Because when you understand how to think strategically about property, the entire buying process changes.

When your housing feels unsettled,
your whole life waits.
If you’re delaying work opportunities, choosing schools for your kids, or even major family decisions like having children because “we don’t know where we’ll end up”... you’re not alone. It's causing many people a lot of stress because you just don't know what path your life is taking.
Meanwhile you’re expected to make the biggest financial decision of your life while overwhelmed, second-guessing, and possibly burnt by bad advice in the past. You research until you’re so confused you can't make a decision… and the market moves anyway! You don’t need a perfect time, you need a professional framework that turns fear into strategy and gets you moving with confidence.
This program gives you a plan that replaces anxiety with clear next steps.
...this is why we created the
The Better Home Buying Online Learning Program.
I teach you, in 8 easy modules, how to turn the buying process into a clear, repeatable plan. No spiralling. No guesswork. Just the right steps in the right order, so you can move forward with confidence and make better property decisions... faster.
I provide all the tools you need to confidently buy your home. With no stress, no pressure, and a clear plan to follow.
- Stop flying blind... know what to do next at every stage.
- Cut through noise, avoid analysis paralysis, drill down faster and choose better.
- Make higher quality decisions and avoid costly traps.
- Understand capital growth and market momentum (so waiting doesn’t cost you!)
- And then get on with your life!
Michelle is nothing short of a miracle worker! With her help we managed to secure a fantastic apartment off market in the perfect location and somehow under budget.
Michelle walked us through every step of the process, and we still can't believe she managed to get us across the line. If you are looking to buy in the very competitive Sydney market you need a competitive edge, and for that we cannot recommend Michelle enough!"
