Guides
Plain-English guides for Queensland buyers.
Most of what a buyers agent does is research anyone can learn to do. These explain how it works — the numbers worth checking, the traps worth knowing, and where the free data actually lives.
Posted to Townsville? What to sort out before you sign anything.
First home, family home or investment: the block checks, insurance, crime and supply numbers, the Defence entitlements in plain English (HPSEA, DHOAS, the posting-order rule), the 2027 tax changes, and what happens if you are posted again after buying. Free, no sign-up, every number sourced.
Read the guide →The $700,000 line: what Queensland first home buyers pay above it.
No transfer duty up to $700,000. Six and a half thousand at $730,000. The exact QRO taper, why about 22 cents of every extra dollar goes to duty, and why Townsville's rising medians have turned a threshold into a deadline.
Read the guide →The pre-settlement inspection: your last look before the keys.
Your one chance to check the property before the money moves — and most buyers treat it as a formality. What you're actually checking, the room-by-room list, the Queensland risk rule that surprises everyone, and what to do if something's wrong.
Read the guide →The list price isn't the sale price.
The number on the listing is what the agent hopes to attract. The sale price is what someone actually paid. Where to find the second number, what makes a sale genuinely comparable, and the pricing mistake that costs buyers the most.
Read the guide →Buyers agent vs selling agent: who actually works for you.
It's the first question every new buyer asks. The agent at the open home is not your agent — and the way they're paid is the reason. Plus the two questions worth asking any buyers agent before you sign.
