BUYING A HOME

Let’s make this move your best yet.

Moving is stressful, but it doesn’t have to be.

Buying a new home can seem daunting but when you team up with a professional buyer’s advocate, a weight lifts and the journey becomes so much easier. I bring you that much needed clarity to make sound decisions and help manage the emotional ups and downs, along with the practical tasks of finding and securing your new home. Working together, the process becomes seamless and stress-free.

Our journey together —

  • Together, we will discuss your specific property requirements and create a written Buyer Brief – a short description of your perfect home — what it will feature and where it will be located. Your Brief will act as our roadmap throughout the house-hunt.

  • I co-ordinate the groundwork and short-list homes that match your Brief. Alerts are set up to all key real estate portals and my local networks are contacted. If your Brief is especially specific, I may target certain homes directly. Each week, I share an update on my search results so you’re in the loop.

  • I shortlist suitable homes and personally inspect each property that is considered for purchase. Photos and videos are forwarded to you via our group-chat so you can view the (un-photoshopped) property at your leisure.

  • When we find a home that could be The One, I prepare a full due diligence report, along with a comprehensive market analysis that identifies the property’s potential worth. The report identifies potential red flags and all the information you need to make a Go or No-Go decision.

  • Whether at Auction or under private treaty conditions, I represent your best interests in all negotiations. The focus is to strategically secure the property for the least amount possible and on terms that best suit you.

  • I co-ordinate all additional due diligence and property inspections where necessary. I connect you with my local network of inspectors so you have the best in the business overseeing the property.

  • I assist in the preparation of your Purchase Contract and legal documents required to formalise the purchase. I oversee the settlement period alongside your nominated legal representative to ensure a smooth transition to settlement.

  • At settlement, I conduct an on-site pre-settlement inspection. I coordinate with your legal and finance teams to ensure the exchange process is seamless. I organise key collection, connection of essential services and engage cleaners, maintenance contractors and various trades to ensure your new home is move-in ready.

  • We celebrate with a glass of champagne when you’ve moved in to your new home and our journey together has come to an end.

  • “Wendy’s service is bespoke, from the initial consultation, refining the brief, shortlisting properties, all the way through to settlement – her approach is supportive yet also consultative and when required, assertive. By employing all these traits coupled with her extensive knowledge of the market and the real estate industry she offers a service that is enviable and simple put, ensures results. If you’re looking to ensure you purchase the right property for your specific requirements, Wendy is your woman!”

    Natalie Thomas | EAST BRISBANE

  • “I highly recommend Wendy to prospective home buyers seeking a trusted advisor to assist with their purchase. Wendy is well informed about the Brisbane market, has a clear understanding of the pros and cons of the different suburbs and is well-connected with a wide range of real estate agents. An engagement with Wendy is, in my opinion, an invaluable investment in any search for the perfect property.”

    Mick Hewitt | CEO OF HEWITT

  • "When it came to finally securing a property we loved, Wendy did everything possible to make sure it was ours – including back and forth negotiations at 9.30pm!! We truly believe we would not have been able to purchase our dream home without her."

    Mitch and Brianna | FIRST HOME BUYERS

  • “Thank you Wendy for your services securing my first property. Your positive attitude instigated great confidence in your ability to find the right property, at the right price. The faith was duly rewarded, with the result being better than my initial expectations. You have made this process stress free. Thanks so much for all your help Wendy!!!”

    Liam O | FIRST HOME BUYER

  • “Anyone who is looking at buying a house for less than they would have hoped for then get in contact with Wendy. She saved me heaps and I didn’t have to do a thing. What a legend!!!”

    Adam C | FIRST HOME BUYER

  • “What can I say about Wendy, from the first time we spoke, I knew she was going to find me my first house. Before finding Wendy, I had spoken to other buyer agents and told them what I wanted in a house and I was told it couldn’t be achieved and that I should alter my brief. Wendy’s first response to what I wanted in a house was “Yep, we can definitely do that” and boy did she deliver. From day one to myself getting the keys, Wendy was nothing short of professional, enthusiastic and determined. During this process at no time did I felt rushed or pressured. She truly was an advocate for myself and the end result shows. Not only did she find me a house, but she found me a home that I can officially call my own. This roof over my head has been the best decision I have ever made to this date, and this would not have been possible without Wendy. I would recommend her in a heart beat.”

    Tracy Townsend | FIRST HOME BUYER

  • “Thanks again so much for everything you did Wendy! We honestly would never have got into this area, let alone this house without you.”

    Michelle H | KALINGA

  • “Thank you very much for all of your assistance with finding our Queensland home. We are really loving our house and getting to know our neighbours and the area. We really liked your approach - and we think that is what sets you apart from your competitors. You were organised and structured, yet able to be flexible when needed - and most important, you were always super patient!!! We will come back to you when we purchase our next property and would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending you to any of our friends.”

    Katie and Tim | ASHGROVE

  • “I gave Wendy a reference picture of my dream home. I wanted a colonial Queenslander in a certain area of Brisbane. They’re not easy to find and once found, bids are competitive. Wendy was extremely pro active in her search and communicated her results back to me regularly. A few months later the actual house I’d referenced came up for sale in an off market capacity. Wendy helped me secure the purchase of this home and at a decent price, something I am one hundred percent certain I wouldn’t have succeeded in doing without her.Beyond this incredible skill and talent Wendy has for negotiating, she is a wonderful person, always respectful, supportive and caring. She was patient, kind (understanding the stress of purchasing a home to live in) and completely transparent in her dealings with both myself and the seller. She also organised everything to do with the purchase and settlement personally. When you engage Wendy, you deal with her direct, not an assistant. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Wendy for anyone wishing to purchase a property in Brisbane. You won’t find a better buyer’s agent.”

    Jennifer | SHERWOOD

  • “We engaged Wendy recently for a purchase and from the get go, Wendy was polite, professional and honest.We found her opinion, knowledge and advice extremely valuable for our circumstances. She gave us confidence and lowered our stress levels. I highly recommend engaging Wendy for her services.”

    Michelle Cheong | BRISBANE

  • “I recently purchased a house with Wendy’s invaluable assistance. It took a few months from start to finish and throughout the process Wendy was positive, patient, proactive and professional. When we did find the right house, she made the whole process so much less stressful. Together we got better results than I could have got alone, especially as I live interstate and there were a few complications we needed to address along the way.”

    El Ka | MELBOURNE

  • Wendy is an impeccable people reader.

    "My husband and I decided to relocate our young family from Sydney and move to sunny Brisbane. We had no idea where to start. We searched for a few months independently and felt so overwhelmed and lost in the process. Questions kept appearing.. How do we know if it's a good part of the suburb? How can we do the legwork from another state? How can we feel confident bidding on a house from so far away? Then, through a social media referral we were recommended Wendy.

    From the start and feeling quite overwhelmed, Wendy guided, educated and checked-in with us along our journey. There were many, many phone calls and questions but her superior knowledge, her contact list of agents and connections allowed us to secure our forever home to raise our young children. Her knowledge runs very deep and her skills and experience are first class. Wendy is an impeccable people reader. My husband and I had been going back and forth about a property for a few weeks. We absolutely loved it but there was one factor that made us feel a little uneasy. We were due to bid at auction on it. A few days prior I called Wendy and told her our doubts. We had been working with Wendy for a few months by this time and knew us and our brief quite well. She took the time to listen and confidently reflect back her thoughts on the situation. We ended up not bidding, and I can safely say we are so glad we didn't.

    She is there as a sounding board and provides a professional unbiased opinion. We never ever felt pressured to buy. She invests so much time into her clients she truly wants to find that perfect home as much as we do! Even though the search took longer than my husband and I anticipated, we found our perfect home! We went to a multi offer scenario. Wendy took the time to talk us through the strategy, and made us feel at ease. She executed our strategy perfectly. She was right every step of the way, if we had not taken her advice in this instance, we wouldn't have secured our dream home. For that we are forever grateful.

    To cap it all off - it has been 2 months since we settled on the house. We have stayed in contact with Wendy and she has gone above and beyond any expectation we had of her service. She opened our house up for trades, removalists and even did a grocery shop!!

    We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to buy in Brisbane. She is professional, warm, witty and smart all rolled into one.”
