Britany and Luke’s Sunshine Coast Win
Britany and Luke’s Sunshine Coast Win
Britany and Luke were ready to return home to the Sunshine Coast from Brisbane but faced a hard reality: their budget was modest by today’s standards. They decided early to call in Baxter & Mason Property Buyers Agent because they wanted an edge in a competitive market and someone to do the heavy lifting for them.
A fast, focused start
Within 10 days of signing up, our team had researched and inspected 17 properties that matched their brief. We moved quickly to narrow options, verify values, and protect them from emotional decision‑making under pressure.
The near miss that taught us to move fast
We secured an opportunity to sign a contract on an attractive off‑market home on the 10th day. After a prompt building and pest inspection the report revealed issues, we felt were too risky for first‑home buyers on a tight budget, so we passed. Walking away was the right call - it showed the value of rigorous due diligence and calm, experienced judgement.
Turning persistence into a win
A few days later our team found a deal that had unexpectedly “crashed” and needed a fast, confident buyer. Because Britany and Luke were prepared with great contract terms - finance ready, brief locked in, and represented by experienced negotiators - we acted immediately. We negotiated hard, structured terms that matched the vendor’s needs, and secured a modern 3‑bedroom, 2‑bathroom, 2‑car duplex at a price that fit their budget.
What this meant for Britany and Luke
They moved back to their hometown into a low‑maintenance, modern home without the stress and premium of a multiple‑offer scenario. They achieved home ownership faster than they expected and felt confident their purchase was the right balance of value, quality, and future resale potential.
Why this story matters
Preparation wins: having finance pre‑approval and a clear brief allowed us to act quickly.
Due diligence protects: the building and pest check stopped a risky purchase before it became costly.
Local networks deliver: off‑market and crashed‑deal opportunities are typically only accessible to well‑connected buyers agents.
Negotiation matters: structuring an offer that suits the vendor can secure a deal without competing in a bidding war.
Client reaction
Britany and Luke were thrilled. Their relief and excitement reinforced why many first‑home buyers choose dedicated buyer representation when returning to competitive markets like the Sunshine Coast.
Ready to move with confidence
If you’re relocating or buying your first home on a tight budget, a proactive buyers agent can turn fast market movement into a strategic advantage. Our approach for Britany and Luke - speed, due diligence, and negotiation - is the same framework we use for every buyer who wants more than just portal alerts.
