Lachlan, a Noosa-based Fly-in, fly-out professional, wanted to purchase a home that would also serve as a strong investment.
He had been searching for months without success. Remote work commitments limited his time, and frustration set in. On top of that, he felt uncertain about the best investment locations.
The ideal property was a home with renovation potential, on at least 700m², where he could live while adding value over time.
Referred to Home Scouts (subcontracted to Providence Property), Lachlan engaged us for our full buyer’s agency service to manage the search and acquisition.
We began by refining Lachlan’s brief and inspecting properties he had already flagged. Due diligence quickly revealed issues with these options, including easements, bushfire risks, and flooding hazards.
Shifting focus, we identified an alternative property that matched his goals. Strong agent relationships and firm negotiation enabled us to secure the property for under $870,000.
Property details:
814m² block in Old Tewantin
3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms
Solid brick home in good condition
Significant renovation and value-add potential
Quiet street in a sought-after neighbourhood
Purchased for $867,500
Tewantin, just 10 minutes from Noosa Main Beach, was once seen as a quiet, older suburb. Today, it’s one of Noosa’s three major centres and a popular choice for families.
The suburb offers affordable homes, strong community amenities, and excellent schools. Its riverside location and proximity to Noosa and the northern Sunshine Coast continue to drive demand and growth.
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. She has a great depth of knowledge on the subject of property which installed confidence within me that we would achieve the desired outcome.
The Home Scouts team made sure that all my specific needs in a property were outlined to begin with, so I wasn’t overloaded with options, I was presented with some great properties, once I had decided on the one, 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.
