Victoria Devine spends her working life thinking about the part of a home most of us would rather not think about… the cost. What we pay for it, what we can afford and what it really takes to call somewhere home. As a financial advisor, host of She’s on the Money, and managing director of mortgage broking business Zella, she leads a team of 17 brokers helping everyday Australians onto the property ladder.
But when it came to buying her own home, she broke nearly every rule in her own playbook.
In this episode of The Edit, Victoria tells Home Beautiful Editor-in-Chief Elle Lovelock about the Saturday morning walk that ended with her calling a real estate agent to cancel an auction outright, and why the heart (almost) always wins when it comes to property.
Plus, Victoria takes us on a tour of her light-filled forever home, and shares exactly how she renovated her Mornington Peninsula beach house kitchen for under $10,000.
