I had a bit of a fangirl moment last night! 🤩

I was lucky enough to hear Bryce Holder from Empower Wealth and The Property Couch podcast speak at an The REIQ event.

I’ve listened to The Property Couch for years and read all their books, so hearing Bryce speak in person was an absolute treat.

Bryce and Ben are genuine veterans of the property industry. They don’t just share opinions—they know what they’re talking about and have the experience, research and evidence to back it up.

A brilliant night spent learning from one of the best in the business! 🏡

“Has the house flooded before?” is only one flood question.

It’s not the whole investigation.

And there’s another reason Queensland buyers need to pay attention here: flood and natural-hazard history is specifically one of the matters NOT included in the Seller Disclosure Statement.

For Brisbane properties, Brisbane City Council provides the Flood Awareness Map and a technical FloodWise Property Report.

Those tools can help identify exposure to different types of flooding, including river, creek, overland flow and storm tide.

I also want buyers thinking about the practical side.

Could flood risk affect future renovations or development?
Could access to the property be affected?
What does the insurer say?
What does the relevant council information show?

Outside Brisbane, the tools may differ, so the relevant local council information needs to be checked.

It isn’t about automatically ruling a property out because a colour appears on a map.

It’s about understanding what you’re buying.

When you’re buying a unit or townhouse, I’m not only interested in what’s happening inside the property.

I want to know what’s happening in the body corporate as well. 🏢🔎

The kitchen might look great and the complex might present beautifully, but there’s another layer of information that can matter to your decision.

Things like:

• Current and upcoming levies
• Insurance
• By-laws
• Financial information
• Meeting minutes
• Contracts the body corporate has entered into
• Decisions that have been made about the complex

Buyers in Queensland can access body corporate records, and those records can provide valuable context about what you may be buying into.

It doesn’t mean every issue you find is a reason not to buy.

It means you understand the property properly before making that decision.

The property itself is only part of the picture.

A big block does not automatically mean “subdivision potential”.

And a property being in the right-looking zone doesn’t automatically mean you can build what you have in mind either.

Planning is more detailed than that.

Depending on the property, things like zoning, overlays, neighbourhood plans, site dimensions, frontage, access and other planning requirements can all affect what may be possible.

In Brisbane, City Plan allows you to look at property-specific zones, overlays and neighbourhood planning information.

Other Queensland councils have their own planning schemes.

As a Buyer’s Agent, I’m looking for potential and I’m looking for the things that need further investigation.

But I’m not a town planner.

If a client is buying specifically because they want to subdivide, add another dwelling or undertake a development, that potential needs proper confirmation from the appropriate planning professionals.

Never pay a premium for “potential” that nobody has checked.

If you’re looking for a Queensland property with a particular strategy in mind, my website is in the comments. 👇

Brisbane’s property market has started to cool.

Cotality’s latest figures show Brisbane dwelling values fell 0.6% in July, after what has been a very strong period of growth.

So, what does that mean if you’re buying? 🏡

For me, it doesn’t mean rushing in because prices have moved.

And it certainly doesn’t mean assuming every property is suddenly a bargain.

A change in market conditions can give buyers a little more room to assess their options, negotiate and make decisions without some of the pressure we’ve seen previously.

But the fundamentals still matter.

Is it the right location?

Does the property suit your strategy?

Is the price supported by comparable sales?

Have you done the due diligence?

A changing market doesn’t change the way I approach a property.

I still want the numbers and the property itself to make sense.

Auction day is not the day to start making decisions.

In Queensland, if you buy at auction there is no cooling-off period.

The sale is unconditional.

You also need to register as a bidder, provide identification and use your assigned bidder identifier when bidding.

That’s the administrative part.

The important part for me happens before any of that.

Before I bid, I want:

✔️ The property investigated
✔️ The contract reviewed by the buyer’s legal adviser
✔️ Finance properly understood
✔️ Comparable sales assessed
✔️ A clear view of market value
✔️ A maximum price decided before emotions get involved

Then auction day becomes about executing the plan.

Not chasing someone else’s bid.

Not adding another $5,000 because “we’ve come this far”.

And not trying to make a major financial decision while an auctioneer is counting down.

If you’d rather have someone prepare and bid with a clear head, my website is in the comments. 👇

Yes — Queensland’s $30,000 First Home Owner Grant is still available for eligible buyers.

But the word I want you to notice there is eligible. 🏡

The grant applies to eligible first-home buyers buying or building a NEW home.

The new home and land must be valued at less than $750,000.

It does not apply to an established home.

For eligible purchases or builds, the $30,000 amount applies to contracts signed on or after 20 November 2023.

There are also ownership, citizenship/residency and occupation requirements. In general, applicants need to move into the property within 12 months of completion and live there continuously for at least six months.

And another important point:

The First Home Owner Grant and Queensland’s transfer duty concessions are separate things. Being eligible for one doesn’t automatically answer whether you qualify for the other.

Check the current QRO requirements before relying on the grant in your numbers.

Once you know your real budget, that’s where I can help with the property strategy.

There’s a bit of confusion around Queensland’s first-home buyer transfer duty rules, mainly because “first home” doesn’t automatically mean the same concession for every property.

Here’s the practical version. 🏡

For an eligible first-home buyer purchasing an established home, no transfer duty is payable where the home is valued at $700,000 or less.

The concession then reduces progressively and ends once the home reaches $800,000.

A brand-new first home is different.

For eligible contracts dated from 1 May 2025, Queensland introduced a full transfer duty concession for a new home, with no value cap applying to the residential home and land component.

Eligible first-home buyers purchasing residential vacant land to build on can also access a full concession.

And there are eligibility rules — including requirements applying to transactions entered into from 1 August 2026.

So before building your budget around a concession, check your individual position with QRO and your conveyancer or solicitor.

Some properties need more preparation before they ever reach the market.

5 Willdora Drive, Elliott is one of those properties. 🏡

This is a very different property to a standard suburban home, with acreage, lake frontage and an established lychee orchard all forming part of what a buyer is actually considering.

My role as Seller’s Advocate started well before the property was advertised.

It was about helping the owners prepare for the sale, thinking through how the property needed to be presented, working through the selling-agent options and helping coordinate the process so they weren’t trying to manage every moving part themselves.

That’s the part of Seller’s Advocacy people often don’t see.

The selling agent has a job to do once the campaign begins. I’m there to support the seller through the decisions leading into it and throughout the process.

If you’re considering selling and would like someone in your corner, I’ve put more information about Seller’s Advocacy in the comments. 👇

Choosing an agent shouldn’t simply come down to who promises the highest price, charges the lowest commission or has the most For Sale signs in the area. 🏡

As part of my Seller’s Advocacy service, I research suitable agents, review their recent sales and local experience, and look at the quality of their results — not simply the volume of transactions.

There’s a big difference between a high-performing agent and a high-volume salesperson.

I shortlist and speak with suitable agents, compare their proposed pricing, strategy, marketing and commission, and then give you my recommendation.

You always make the final decision.

The goal is to make sure you’re choosing your agent with good information in front of you — not simply based on who gives the best sales pitch.
