You don’t 
have to do this alone

Buying, renting, or investing in a new location is one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever make - and in Queensland’s fast-moving market, it’s easy to get lost, misled, or make costly mistakes.

I know, because I’ve done it.

Our story

“It’s really bloody hard”

I started Keen On Property to make sure no one else had to go through what I did.

Trying to secure the perfect family home in a fiercely competitive market -  with limited local knowledge and no one truly in my corner - was a nightmare.

That’s why for me, this work is personal.

I take the time to understand your situation, your goals, and your non-negotiables - then I do the legwork, research, and negotiations to deliver a result I know you’ll love.

I pull out all the stops to help you achieve your goals - and that’s why I was recently crowned Most Valuable Agent by the Buyer’s Agent Institute.

Our mission

To give you the confidence, clarity, and local advantage you need to secure the right property - without the stress, guesswork, or costly mistakes.

Thank you Darren for helping us start our life in this beautiful country.”
