As their family and careers grew busier, they wanted a home that was closer to the city and good schools, that suited their lifestyle now, and would comfortably fit their family for years to come. All without losing the weekends they didn’t have to spare.

They were local to Brisbane and knew they wanted to be closer to the city, but weren’t sure which suburbs would tick every box for schools, lifestyle and commute.
But without the time to invest in researching areas and property types for their budget range, they engaged Home Scouts as local Brisbane buyers agents to help identify the right location, and secure a home that supported the next chapter for their family.
We started with detailed conversations to understand exactly what would work for their family: proximity to the city, good school catchments, and enough space and lifestyle to suit two busy careers and two small kids.
That included researching suburbs across the inner west, weighing up commute times, school zones, and the character of each area, before narrowing in on Kenmore and Chapel Hill as the right fit.
Along the way, we negotiated on an off-market property that initially looked promising, but ultimately walked away when the seller’s pricing expectations didn’t align with the market. It was the right call, and it kept them focused on finding a home that truly matched their brief rather than settling under pressure.
From there, we activated our local agent network and prepared them thoroughly for auction day, drawing on on-market, pre-market and off-market opportunities. With full due diligence completed in advance, we bid on Chekani and Dinukh’s behalf, securing the right home for their family with confidence.

The home also came with the ability to add a kitchen downstairs and rent that space out separately, giving them added flexibility down the track.
They’re now settled into a home that puts them closer to the city and good schools, with room for their family to grow, all secured through a considered, well researched strategy rather than a rushed decision under pressure.
