“Bronwen’s meticulous search skills, along with her attention to detail and great patience, ensured we secured an excellent property, one which fulfilled the brief of strong yield in a area primed for capital growth. Her knowledge of the Sunshine Coast market is unquestioned. We highly recommend Bron and Home Scouts!”
“Bron was a vital part in finding our home and being able to secure this for us off market. Without having her we would not have got access to this property and been able to put in offer before it went to market. Working with Bron also made the purchase such a smooth process with being able to handle a lot of the communication between the agent and solicitors on our behalf which also was crucial for us with my husband working away and myself running a business it made the whole process feel like we had a great team on our side to ensure things run smoothly at all times.”
“Home Scouts helped us find an investment property in Brisbane (we are based in Sydney and never left our living room couch through the entire process!). Bron is absolutely amazing and a delight to deal with! Sandra is the expert on all things Brisbane – her diligent, proactive, conscientious and meticulous work ethic ensured that we were able to secure a property in the extremely competitive Brisbane market with ease in ~6-8 weeks. Home Scouts are extremely well connected and have an efficient network to ensure you can go about your home-buying journey with ease and confidence. We would highly recommend them! “
“Sandra Connors was absolutely amazing. Her skills and experience helped us get our dream apartment. She is a passionate and dedicated professional who works tirelessly to have you reach your dream home. The things we didn’t know coming into this process and her guidance was priceless in itself. I highly recommend Sandra and Home Scouts to anyone that is searching for a home 🏠 “
“Bron Stacey is a fantastic buyers agent! From start to finish, she demonstrated an impressive level of thoroughness and dedication. Throughout the entire process, she kept us well-informed and ensured our needs were met. Bron’s negotiation skills are exceptional. Thanks to her expertise, we were able to secure a property below market value, a deal we couldn’t have achieved without her. What truly sets Bron apart is her commitment to transparency. I can’t recommend Bron Stacey highly enough for anyone in search of a dedicated and knowledgeable buyers agent. Thank you, Bron, for making our property journey smooth and successful!”
“If you’re in search of your dream home and want someone who goes above and beyond, look no further than Bronwen! Bronwen’s professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care truly set her apart. Her knowledge of the market was impeccable, and her insights were invaluable in helping us make informed decisions. She was patient, supportive, and always available to answer our questions or address any concerns we had. Her communication was prompt and clear, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Thanks to Bronwen’s expertise and dedication, we found our perfect home, and we couldn’t be happier! Her passion for her work is evident in everything she does, and we are incredibly grateful to have had her by our side throughout this journey.”
“My Mum and I sought help to find a family holiday apartment. During a daunting and unclear time, we were reassured by Bronwen’s professionalism and expertise. From the get go, Bronwen made the experience easy and seamless. We were supported by her throughout the whole process and were confident that no stone was left unturned. We were impressed and surprised at how quick the whole process was. We certainly could not have secured a property like the one we did without her. 100% would recommend.”
“Exceptional service and dedication from Bronwen at Home Scouts For anyone buying from a distance, I cannot recommend Bronwen from Homescouts highly enough. Her professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care make her an absolute gem in the real estate industry. Thank you, Bronwen, for helping us secure not just a house, but a home for our family.”
“It’s been a very successful journey, we are super happy and Bronwen’s personal engagement, support and customer in focus mind set , from start to finish, has been exceptional! We give her our highest recommendations, without reservation. “
“Dear Bron, We both want to say a huge ‘Thank You’ to you. Your have been truly amazing with all your expertise in the real estate industry. You have guided and supported us every step of the way and to be perfectly honest Bron, we would have not achieved such an amazing result. Not only are you a fabulous property agent you are also a beautiful lady. Your personal care and understanding of both Brian and my needs truly touched both our hearts. Plus your endless patience. You have definitely made this part of the journey much easier and helped us to a successful outcome. We have enjoyed working with you and getting to know you along the way.”
We’ve worked in Sunshine Coast and the Brisbane markets for years. Beyond just the real estate landscape, we know the lived-in feel of every area – the neighbourhoods, school zones, amenities, and streets. With that kind of insight, you won’t waste time (or money) in the wrong area.
Coordinating inspections and viewings from a distance is slow and stressful. Especially from afar. We’re on the ground, ready to act fast. Using smart tech and trusted contacts, we bring you options quickly and help you act decisively.
Every investor is different. From goals and risk profile to budget, financial structure, and experience. As Qualified Property Investment Advisers® (QPIA), we follow an industry-recognised framework to develop property strategies that reflect your personal circumstances and set you up for long-term success.
A buyer’s agent works exclusively for you – the buyer – to help you find, assess, and secure the right property at the best price and terms. We’re here to guide you through the process, protect your interests, and make your property search smooth and stress-free. As proud members of the Real Estate Buyers Agents Association of Australia (REBAA) and the Property Investment Professionals of Australia (PIPA), we follow the highest industry standards.
We’re paid directly by you, not the seller, so our advice is 100% independent. Our fees cover the entire buying journey – from property search and shortlisting through to negotiation and settlement support. We’ll discuss the fee structure upfront so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
If you‘re buying an investment property, fees may be tax deductible but your accountant will be able to advise you on this.
Absolutely! Many of our clients are relocating or investing from interstate. Our “Buy Like a Local” approach means we’ll give you insider knowledge, local insights, and on-the-ground support so you can make confident decisions – even from afar.
We work across the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane. We can also connect you with trusted buyer’s agents in other regions through our REBAA network if your search extends further afield.
It varies depending on your brief, budget, and market conditions. Some purchases happen within weeks, while others take a few months to find the perfect fit. Our job is to keep things moving and make sure every step is handled efficiently.
Yes – we love helping investors. Whether you’re focused on capital growth, rental yield, or portfolio diversification (or not sure!), we’ll help you define your objectives and develop a strategy, which informs the property location and type that meets your goals. As Qualified Property Investment Advisors, we’re committed to best-practice investment advice.
Yes, we handle it all. We’ll attend inspections, assess the property’s value and condition, and negotiate on your behalf to secure the best possible terms (including represent you at auction). You can relax knowing we’re representing your interests at every stage.
Many of our clients purchase without ever stepping foot in the property until settlement. We’ll be your eyes and ears, providing videos, reports, and honest feedback, so you feel fully informed no matter where you are.
We work with everything from family homes and prestige properties to apartments, townhouses, and off-market opportunities. We tailor the search to your brief and only recommend properties that suit your needs.
We save you time, stress, and money by doing the hard work for you – backed by deep local market knowledge, trusted relationships, and expert negotiation skills. Our REBAA, PIPA and REIQ accreditations, involvement and recognition reflect our professionalism and commitment to your success.
We’re often involved in a house search and purchase when someone is time poor or not local to the area. Buying a property is a whole job in itself and most of our clients don’t have the time, intimate knowledge of the local market or the experience to dedicate to a significant purchase. Clients can also have a range of other reasons for engaging us. They may be:
Buying property is our sole job, and our goal is to secure the best property for you that your money can buy. In all cases our knowledge of the area, our experience of the buying process, and our time and dedication mean you are more likely to find a better property for a better price and terms than if you did it on your own. Once you engage us, we are working hard on the job to find you your best property and don’t stop searching or hustling until we do.
We have also experienced the whole range of dynamics and pitfalls in the property purchase process, that we can help to iron out problems so you don’t lose the home you’ve fallen in love with.
These are your benefits if you decide to use a buyers’ agent. We will:
That is our aim! Here are just some of the ways you will save money using us as your buyers’ agent:
When you engage us, we will work on an exclusive authority agreement. This agreement generally lasts for 3-6 months and it is our responsibility during that time to work hard for you to find you the best Sunshine Coast property so that you don’t have to do this yourself!
If you do find a property in Noosa on your own or through anyone else during this time of our exclusive agreement, you still are required to pay our fees. The balance of our fees after the initial engagement retainer of $1,950 are entirely at our risk, so if we haven’t secured your property within the terms of our exclusive agreement, you have the option to extend our agreement or part ways without any further payment obligation.
We will inspect every Noosa property or Sunshine Coast real estate on your behalf, and take detailed video and photography for you. If you want to be shown through the property as we inspect it, we would be happy to walk you through it virtually – we often do this for clients, particularly owner occupier clients. As part of our analysis, we also do detailed investigation of the surrounding properties and street, as well as neighborhood demographics. We work with you on your preferred approach to inspections.
Definitely! In Queensland, you need to complete an “Authority to Bid” form which allows us to bid on your behalf at auction here on the Sunshine Coast. We work with you to develop a strategy for the auction, pricing limits in line with your motivations and comparable sales, and document this so that we are all in agreement as to how to execute the auction strategy on the day.
We regularly work for interstate, overseas and regional clients to help them secure their Sunshine Coast property. Being local and having grown up in South East Queensland, we know key suburbs so well, so can quickly narrow down area/s for you based on what you’re looking for and the lifestyle you’re seeking. We work around your parameters and availability to make the search as easy as possible for you.
Of course! We are flexible in our buyers agent service arrangement so you can use us as much, or as little, as you need. Some clients love to negotiate, but need help finding the property first – so we are happy to work around your specific requirements to make your purchase as easy as possible.
“The professionalism and service provided by Bronwen Stacey, well and truly met our expectations. From the outset we had full confidence that they had our best interests at heart and Bronwen worked tirelessly (including on her holidays) to help us navigate our way through the property purchase minefield. They took the stress out of the process for us as we were confident in their abilities and most importantly Bronwen had quickly gained our trust.”
“Bought our first investment property through Bronwen and Guy! Loved dealing with both of these top people. Made the whole process smooth. Onto the next one. “
“Bronwen is a true professional! After some apprehension of using a buyers agent, I finally decided I needed some help and after my initial introduction with Bronwen I was convinced I had made the right decision. Bronwen delivered on every promise and was an absolute delight to communicate with. Bronwen made sure we secured the property for the right price, all negotiations and administrations were taken care of. It was a great experience overall. It made the big life decision of buying a house feel like a breeze. I can’t recommend Bronwen highly enough.”
“Bronwen’ s balance of professionalism, her knowledge of the area and the current property market, and awesome trustworthy contacts in all areas, combined with her kindness, personable nature and genuine care for her clients and the best possible outcome for them is what makes working with her delightful. Bron has gone above and far beyond when acting on my behalf, and without her assistance, and perisistance, I would never have achieved the outcome I have dreamed of.”
“We feel very lucky to have found Bron. We were after a beach shack with character, and she worked tirelessly to find us a home that met the brief, in a difficult market. Bron is genuine, professional and very easy to deal with, and knows the Sunshine Coast property market really well. She bid for us at a highly competitive auction for the property, and secured it for us – well within the budget we had set. We wouldn’t have been able to have got this home without her.”
“We couldn’t have made our move from Victoria to the amazing Sunshine Coast without Bron on the ground to help us find what we were looking for. She’s someone we could trust, was easy to work with and was able to access properties really quickly as well as give us recommendations of key services and pitfalls to avoid. Bron’s local knowledge, responsiveness and always positive persona were all really important factors in making the daunting process of moving interstate much easier and less stressful. We would thoroughly recommend Bron and Home Scouts to anyone looking to make the move.”
“Being from Melbourne and unable to go to the Sunshine Coast, Bron worked timelessly to help us find our new home. She went through inspection after inspection, providing us with all the information we needed. Bron was professional, friendly and went above and beyond. Thanks Bron for helping us start our next chapter.”
“I have followed Bronwen Stacey’s professional career with great interest, having collaborated with her in my role as consultant town planner on various developments in the Brisbane area. Bron has a passion for good development outcomes and a keen natural interest in the property market which she has further pursued through formal training and qualifications. Her personal qualities of determination, persistence and a desire to get the best client outcomes are ideal for her chosen role as a buyers agent and I gladly recommend her to potential clients.”
“After many months of struggling to get anywhere with our search for a new home, so glad Home Scouts was recommended to us. We live remotely so it was invaluable to have Bronwen on the ground in Brisbane to help. She saved us of hours trawling through the websites and shortlisted us properties that fit our needs and were within our budget. She was able to walk us through homes (virtually) and took care of everything from organising inspections to making offers and getting the gardens done before handover. Would happily recommend Home Scouts to anyone!”
“Found and purchased a brilliant investment property through the help of Home Scouts. Bronwen and team are fantastic in providing in-depth research and communication with them has been seamless. We have already recommended friends to Home Scouts and will continue to use them for our next purchase. “
