From Interstate Uncertainty to Dream Home in Brisbane’s Inner North-West
When D & K made the decision to move their young family from Sydney to Brisbane after several years of international work, they were excited—but also aware that buying their first home in a city that had changed significantly since they last lived there would require expert help. With two primary school-aged children, demanding jobs, and a short relocation timeline, they turned to us at Property Pursuit for trusted advice and support.
Our role as their Brisbane buyers agent was to guide them every step of the way—educating them on the market, inspecting properties, and ultimately securing a home that ticked every single box.
The Brief: A Family-Friendly, Low-Maintenance Home Close to School and Work
D & K were clear on what they needed: a modern, low-maintenance family home with a pool, close to their children’s school and offering a manageable commute to work. Their focus was on Brisbane’s inner north-west, and they wanted to explore a range of suburbs that could suit their lifestyle and budget.
As a first home purchase in Brisbane, they also needed help understanding how different suburbs compared in value, amenities, and suitability for their needs. We worked closely with them to narrow down the right location while educating them on current market conditions.
Our Process: Local Expertise + Strategic Planning
We began with a detailed consultation and area education, inspecting many homes on their behalf and arranging a few in-person inspections during their visits from Sydney. Several properties came close, but none were quite right. Fortunately, D & K had arranged temporary accommodation upon relocating to Brisbane in January 2025, allowing them to remain patient for the perfect opportunity.
Just one week after their children started school, we identified an ideal home that matched every part of their brief. It was being offered pre-market, giving our clients a strategic advantage. Thanks to their preparation and confidence in the process, they were able to act fast, attending the first open home and submitting a competitive offer with attractive terms that secured the property ahead of multiple other buyers.
The Result: A Dream Home and Seamless Relocation
Purchased: February 2025
Search days: 25 days after arrival in Brisbane
List Price: NA
Purchase Price: $2,585,000, highly competitive with multiple offers
Description: A stunning, contemporary 2023-built three-level home with 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a pool, and direct parkland access—ideal for a growing family.
But our work didn’t stop at the signed contract. At Property Pursuit, we understand that a smooth transition into your new home is just as important as the purchase itself. We helped D & K arrange trusted local services including:
- Pre-settlement cleaning
- Gardening and gutter maintenance
- Handyman services
- Electrical work
All coordinated to ensure they could move in quickly and with minimal disruption.
“Buying our first home interstate could have been overwhelming, but the team at Property Pursuit, led by Nicola Buck, made the entire experience smooth, stress-free, and even enjoyable.
Their deep knowledge of the market helped us navigate unfamiliar territory with confidence, and Nicola truly listened—following our brief while also suggesting well-considered alternatives that expanded our options.
What stood out most was their genuine commitment to our best interests. This wasn’t just a transaction for them—they approached it with the same care and dedication as if they were buying a home for themselves.
Their communication was exceptional, keeping us informed at every stage and ensuring we always felt supported.
The negotiation process, in particular, was handled with skill and professionalism. We had a short turnaround to find the right place, and without their expertise, we would have been completely out of our depth.
Thanks to their guidance, we secured the perfect home with terms we couldn’t have achieved on our own. Beyond their expertise, it was their personalised approach that made all the difference. We never felt like just another client—Nicola and the team were truly invested in our success and made us feel like trusted partners in the process.
If you’re looking for a buyer’s agent who combines market knowledge with genuine care, we can’t recommend Nicola and Property Pursuit highly enough.” D & K
