NSW newlyweds Jess and Fotis know better than anyone how heartbreaking the first homebuyer struggle can be.<\/p>\n

\n

The young couple had been searching for their dream home for about two years, but after failing to find the perfect property in their price range for so long, the pair had almost given up all hope.<\/p>\n

Then, they agreed to take part in Channel 9\u2019s latest reality TV show,\u00a0Buying Blind<\/i>.<\/p>\n

The premise is as simple as it is terrifying \u2014 six Aussie families hand over their entire life savings to a buyer\u2019s agent, who then snaps up a home on their behalf, without the couple even laying an eye on the property first.<\/p>\n
