Meet the masters of homebuying

Bendigo niece and aunty duo team up to help first time home buyers build a future

Edwina Masters has joined forces with her aunty, Juanna Masters, at HomeSolution by Metricon to turn people’s home-owning aspirations into a reality.

As demand for new homes in the area continues to increase, this dynamic duo has gone from strength to strength, helping a record number of people find their dream home.

Raised in Bendigo, both Edwina and Juanna have been firmly embedded in the local community for many years, so it’s no surprise that they find their roles so rewarding.

“It’s not just a home, it’s their home, the fact we can help people in Bendigo to realise their ambition to own a home is an amazing feeling,” Juanna said.

“We are giving them the freedom to hang up a picture, or to paint a wall without having to ask for permission. It’s a privilege to be able to help people invest in their future, to provide a lifetime of security and a place to build happy memories that will last forever.

“Every day we meet people who thought they would never own a home and when they realise how we can help them save their deposit and secure land to make it possible, it is just brilliant.”

“We are with our customers from the beginning of their journey, through to the day they move into their new home, and it is an honour to be invited back to visit them when they are all settled.

“It can be really emotional to see a family take their first steps on the property ladder, knowing I have played a role in building the foundations for their future.”

Edwina highlighted the positive changes she has seen in Bendigo in recent years, which really sparked her interest to work with her Aunty.

“This town is going from strength to strength and is firmly on the map with a world-renowned arts precinct, neighbourly community and the very best amenities with parks, exhibitions and a food industry with excellent cafes and restaurants,” she said.

“We have seen a huge spike in interest in purchasing homes in Bendigo as people look to leave the hustle and bustle of the city post the pandemic, in favour of a regional base with more land and a true sense of community.”

On the familial connection, when Juanna got the chance to work with her niece, Edwina, they both jumped at the chance.

“Our journey together at Metricon through the HomeSolution brand has been an incredible opportunity to not only work together, but also be part of something pretty special in the Bendigo area,” Juanna said.

New, with so much demand in the market at the moment, the pair are advising anyone interested in buying their first home not to wait.

“Talk to us today. We will establish your eligibility and borrowing capacity and find the best HomeSolution by Metricon option, so you can move into a brand-new home with enviable design features that might otherwise not be in reach, so much sooner than you might think,” Juanna said

The increase in demand for new homes in Bendigo is also supporting the local community in terms of employment.

Since establishing in regional Victoria in 2004, Metricon has created jobs for hundreds of local workers in and around Bendigo.

“We directly employ more than 300 local team members throughout the regions, together with in excess of 1600 local trades, who are all committed to producing quality homes,” said Juanna.

“By having a local team, we are able to offer a far more personal experience for our customers. We pride ourselves on the fact that we are providing local customer service at every turn to ensure our customers have a great home building experience.”
