Long before becoming a Buyers Agent, Sally - Director of Baxter & Mason - was personally buying, holding, and growing her own investment portfolio. She learned the realities of property investing from the ground up: the wins, the risks, the numbers, and the long‑term strategies that actually build wealth.
Before establishing Baxter & Mason Property Buyers Agent, Sally spent four years working exclusively with investors, helping them secure new‑build house and land packages, high‑yield duplexes, triplexes, and dual‑occupancy/dual‑income properties across Queensland.
Today, Sally brings that same depth of knowledge, hands‑on experience, and investment‑led thinking to every client Baxter & Mason Property Buyers Agent supports.
Sally’s background isn’t theoretical - it’s hands‑on and deeply practical. She has been involved in the full lifecycle of new‑build investment projects, including:
- Sourcing and securing land in high‑growth locations
- Creating complete build packages with trusted building contractors
- Managing construction stages and progress inspections
- Conducting detailed defect inspections at completion
This end‑to‑end involvement means Sally understands the entire process intimately - not just the sales side. She knows what makes a strong investment, what creates risk, and what delivers long‑term returns.
New‑build properties continue to be one of the strongest strategies for investors seeking long‑term stability, strong rental performance, and predictable costs. They offer a range of financial and practical advantages that established homes simply can’t match.
✔ You only pay stamp duty on the land
In a two‑part land and build contract, stamp duty is calculated only on the land component, not the completed home.
This can save investors tens of thousands of dollars, improving cashflow and boosting overall ROI.
✔ Higher rental yields
Dual‑income properties, duplexes, triplexes, and dual‑occupancy homes often deliver significantly stronger cashflow than standard single‑dwelling investments.
✔ Lower maintenance costs
Everything is brand new — meaning fewer repairs, fewer surprises, and predictable expenses in the early years.
✔ Tax advantages
New builds offer substantial depreciation benefits, improving after‑tax returns.
✔ Strong tenant demand
Modern layouts, energy efficiency, and low‑maintenance living attract quality tenants who stay longer.
✔ Builder warranties & structural guarantees
Investors benefit from statutory warranties and structural guarantees, providing peace of mind.
✔ Customisation for maximum return
New builds allow investors to design with the end goal in mind — yield, tenant appeal, or future resale.
Most buyers agents can help you find a property.
Very few understand the construction, compliance, and build‑quality side of investing.
Sally’s background spans:
- Personal investment experience
- New‑build project management
- Land sourcing
- Builder collaboration
- Construction‑stage inspections
- Defect identification and reporting
This gives her a level of insight that protects your investment from day one.
Sally doesn’t just look at the numbers - she assesses structure, workmanship, long‑term durability, and hidden risks that can impact returns.
This is the difference between buying an investment…
and buying a high‑performing investment.
