Jacob and Jordan were determined to buy their first home in Brisbane.
However, the market was fiercely competitive. They made offer after offer, only to see each one fall through.
Their busy work schedules made Saturday inspections almost impossible. Frustrated and running out of options, their mortgage broker recommended they seek professional help.
As first-time buyers, they felt uncertain. They wanted guidance on how to secure a property within budget and close to their workplaces. Their goal was : a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 2-car townhouse or unit.
That’s when they engaged Home Scouts for our full buyer’s agency service.
We started by clarifying their brief. Together, we prioritised what mattered most and what was realistic within their budget.
Next, we focused our search on Brisbane’s inner south. Target suburbs included Upper Mount Gravatt, Mount Gravatt, Annerley, and Carina. Soon, we found the ideal match: a renovated 3-bedroom townhouse in Moorooka.
Because the property was headed to auction, we completed thorough due diligence beforehand. We then worked with Jacob and Jordan to build a clear auction strategy.
On the day, we bid on their behalf. Although bidding didn’t reach reserve, we secured the first chance to negotiate. After strong discussions with the sellers, we successfully locked in the property – and well under $900K.
Property details:
131m² townhouse (109m² internal)
3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2-car garage
Open-plan design with front courtyard
Onsite manager, in-ground swimming pool, and gym
Purchased well under $900K
Moorooka, just 9 km south of Brisbane CBD, is a diverse and welcoming suburb. Families enjoy local schools, leafy parks, and the nearby Toohey Forest for weekend walks. The area’s affordability, paired with its proximity to the city, makes it increasingly popular with young professionals and families alike.
Sandra was incredibly professional and attentive to what we wanted when purchasing our first home. The entire process was incredibly easy with Sandra’s instructions and help, could not have asked for a better experience. We will definitely be utilising her expertise with our next purchase and have referred her and home scouts to our friends and family.
