If you don’t have the time (or the energy) to battle the crowds at open homes, call us.
At Keen on Property, we handle all the stress and negotiations for you. (And we have access to pre and off-market opportunities you won’t find online.)
Whether you want to buy, rent, or invest, finding your perfect property in a white-hot market like the Gold Coast requires:
Ruthless negotiation skills
In-depth local knowledge and contacts
Access to off-market properties
“Darren saved me $100k on the purchase price.” [Yvette]
Secure the right rental before you
arrive - without the stress and chaos.
“Darren was amazing at sending very detailed walk-through videos. I felt like I was there. I felt like I had walked through the house myself.” [ Yvette]
Find your dream home in the right suburb, at the
right price – minus the overwhelm.
“It felt like we were on holiday while Darren did all the work for us. He did all the looking for properties. He shortlisted some and looked around them so we could just get on with our life.” [Nicola]
Get trusted local insight to invest wisely – no guesswork, no lemons.
“Darren knows how to negotiate, he knows the market, he knows the players, he has a really clear understanding of what the two houses down the road sold for and so he could leverage all of that knowledge in the negotiating process “ Yvette.
Whether you’re buying, renting, or investing, finding the right property is stressful. No matter how much research you do, it feels like a massive leap of faith.
Add relocation to a fast-paced market like Queensland, and that’s a whole new level of overwhelm. Are the local schools any good? Is the street safe? Will the rush-hour traffic drive you bonkers?
At Keen on Property, we do all the hard stuff for you. We have intimate knowledge of all the suburbs we operate in - so we can guide you on the important details you won’t find online. The ones that the real estates try to bury.
“Me and my husband were on the websites looking at properties, and we were saying, "What about this house, Darren? And would say to us, It's a lovely house. It's within budget, but in terms of location, the traffic will be rough if you're commuting to Brisbane. He talked to us about public transport, schools, all the stuff that we probably wouldn't have thought of.” Nicola
Queensland’s rental market is insane - and temporary accommodation tends to be eye-wateringly expensive. We have relationships with multiple property managers to help you find the right rental.
Choose the wrong suburb or school zone can turn your Aussie dream into a nightmare. Make a decision based on emotion or give in to sales pressure = buyer’s remorse. We help you formulate a clear plan (and give you the confidence to stick to it) so you don’t make decisions you later regret.
Buying sight-unseen from another state (or country) puts you at risk of choosing a dud. Relying on agents who work for the seller means you're getting biased advice. And without real local insight, you’ll miss opportunities that actually deliver strong returns.
Settle in sooner, stress less, and feel confident from day one.
Lock in your rental before you even land, so you’re not scrambling from a hotel or short-stay.
Navigate Queensland’s 1% vacancy market with expert help on your side, and get approved faster with the right application strategy and local insight.
We’ll guide you through what to expect in Queensland and help you find a home that fits your lifestyle, not just your budget.
Make smarter decisions with a trusted expert on the ground.
From due diligence to inspections, we help you find properties that actually stack up - not just look good on paper.
Trying to navigate the property market on your own - especially when you’re new to Queensland - can feel overwhelming.
But we make it fun.
We’ll get clear on your goals, timeline, and personal situation - then map out the strategy that actually fits your life, not just the market.
You get a shortlist of vetted options, local insights, and honest advice - not sales pressure or time-wasting listings.
Whether you’re buying, renting, or investing, you’ll make the right decision backed by local knowledge and personal support.
If you’re scratching your head thinking, ‘Why is this so bloody hard?’ you’re not alone.
When my family and I moved to the Gold Coast from New Zealand in 2022, I thought it would be easy.
It wasn’t like we were moving to a completely different culture, with a completely different language. And I already had 20 years in the property industry...
Ah, blissful ignorance. I was in for a shock.
Navigating the market was far harder than it should have been.
The system is built to favour the seller, the rules are confusing, and real estate agents are focused purely on the seller’s best interests – not yours.
When we eventually found our feet, I noticed thousands of other people faced the same challenges. And I wanted to help.
That’s why I founded Keen on Property in 2023. To help buyers, renters, and investors get a fair shot - with proper support, a goals-focussed strategy, and no sales pressure.
I’ve created a library of guides, podcasts, and courses to help you relocate and buy in Queensland with confidence.
