Welcome to this edition of Wine and Dime with Amy Irvine. I'm thrilled to have another woman who is involved with finance on the show today but in a different way. Justine Chan is going to be talking to us about a new website that she's created called “Live With Plum”.
She was a first-time home buyer, she muddled through the process and she loved learning more and more about it. Five years, four apartments and one license later, she's much more knowledgeable and here to share her knowledge with you. We hope you enjoy the show, so, sit on back, sip your favorite beverage and enjoy!

It all started in 2014, when I bought my first apartment in New York City. I was 25 and eager to lay down some roots but felt utterly confused by the convoluted process of buying a home.
To begin, I met with multiple real estate agents and ultimately ended up using one (whom I liked by the way!) but I barely knew this person so why would I blindly entrust him with such a big and important purchase? And so, I embarked on a personal education campaign…
I searched online endlessly but the information was fragmented, contradictory and oftentimes trying to sell me a mortgage product I didn’t need yet. I then tried buying books, thinking that the information would at least have credibility, and while more helpful than online listicles, the books were not updated as frequently as needed in today’s rapidly changing real estate landscape.
Eventually, I did find and buy a teeny tiny 350 sqft studio apartment I loved… but frankly, I abhorred the process of getting there. It felt like I researched and had more control over my skincare regime than I did with my first home purchase!
Fast forward 5 years later, I go on to purchase 3 more apartment units in the NY/NJ area and earn my real estate license while working full-time. Now, I want to use my experience and knowledge to help and empower other women towards achieving their homebuying dreams.
