Buying a property is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make, and if you’re looking in Hervey Bay, you’re already on the right track! Whether you’re a first-home buyer, an investor, or simply making a sea change, I’m here to help make the process clear and stress-free.
Here’s my simple step-by-step guide to buying property in Hervey Bay.
Step 1: Know Your Budget
Before you fall in love with a property, it’s important to understand what you can comfortably afford. I recommend getting pre-approval from your bank or mortgage broker early in the process. It’ll give you confidence and a clear budget when you start looking.
Step 2: Research the Area
Hervey Bay has something for everyone—whether it’s a beachfront apartment, a family home, or an acreage retreat. Spend some time exploring different suburbs, visit open homes, and get a feel for where you’d like to be. I’m always happy to offer insights on which areas might best suit your lifestyle.
Step 3: Make a Wishlist
What’s most important to you? A big backyard? Walking distance to the beach? A quiet cul-de-sac for the kids? I always encourage buyers to write a list of non-negotiables—and a few nice-to-haves—so we can focus on properties that tick the right boxes.
Step 4: Make Your Offer
When you’re ready, I can help you put forward a competitive offer. As someone who’s negotiated hundreds (if not thousands!) of deals, I’ll work hard to secure the best possible terms for you.
Step 5: Do Your Due Diligence
Once you find “the one,” there are a few key steps:
- Arrange a building and pest inspection.
- Have a solicitor review the contract. I’ll be there to guide you through the process and answer any questions you have.
Step 6: Settle & Celebrate!
Once everything is signed and settled, it’s time to pick up your keys and move in! My team and I are here to support you right through to settlement day—and beyond.
