Buy in Queensland (without the stress)

Finding that perfect property doesn’t have to be exhausting and overwhelming.

We do all the hard stuff for you.

Whether you’re moving internationally or interstate, we’ll pull out all the stops to secure a property that gives you the lifestyle you deserve.

Find the right property

One that fits your lifestyle, budget, and long-term goals.

Local insight you can trust

Get the facts on suburbs, schools, and zoning before you buy.

A stress-free buying process

We handle the legwork so you can focus on the fun bit.

We help locals, too

“Even though I had bought property before, I knew I needed help because the market on the Gold Coast is so volatile right now.  I’d been to open homes where 50-plus people crowded through. Because of Darren, I was able to purchase my property off-market, which meant I wasn’t competing with dozens of other buyers.” [Sara]

We often get approached by locals who want our support when they’re buying their next property. Often it’s because they’ve previously made one of these three (very common) mistakes

Buying in the wrong suburb

You don’t want to end up in an area that spoils your lifestyle, commute, or future plans.

Overpaying for a property

Without accurate, local insight you can spend far more than the property is worth.

Missing 
red flags

The last thing you want is to overlook zoning issues, building defects, or development plans which could impact your home’s value.

The right advice changes everything

When you have a local expert in your corner, the entire process feels easier. You buy with confidence, knowing you’ve made the right decision for your family’s future.

Clarity on where to buy

Get straight answers on suburbs, streets, school zones, and lifestyle fit. So you don’t spend months guessing.

Shortlisted properties that actually fit your lifestyle

We search, inspect, and filter hard. You see a vetted shortlist with honest feedback, not a firehose of links.

Negotiation that protects you

From price to conditions, we negotiate for your best outcome and walk away if it’s not right.

No pressure. No sales spin.

“Darren was amazing the deal with. As first time buyers and new to Queensland we were pretty clueless about the housing market in the Gold Coast. Darren took us through each stage step by step and couldn’t have made it more seamless. Resulting in us purchasing our dream family home and renovating project. Thank you Darren!”

Piers Luttrell
Rental Buyer

“Highly recommended...Darren's knowledge and expert guidance was invaluable in our move to Australia and purchasing our new home. Would have been very stressful navigating the property market without his assistance. ”

Marcia Murray
Buyer

“Darren took the time to understand my needs and preferences, and his deep knowledge of the Gold Coast market was evident in every recommendation he made. Darren's communication skills are outstanding keeping me informed at every step and was always available to answer my questions, no matter how big or small. Thanks to Darren, the often stressful experience of obtaining a home under a time frame became enjoyable and exciting. ”

Cameron Wootton
Investor

“We recently worked with Keen on Property to downsize, and the experience couldn’t have been easier. Darren made the whole process simple and stress-free while sharing a wealth of knowledge and practical advice that helped us approach the purchase strategically. Even though we’ve bought and sold many times before, Darren highlighted things we still hadn’t considered.”

Amanda Hargreaves

Here’s how we make it easy for you

Trying to navigate the property market on your own - especially when you’re new to Queensland - can feel overwhelming.

But we make it fun.

01

Tell us what you need

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.

02

We search, inspect, and handle the hard stuff

You get a shortlist of vetted options, local insights, and honest advice - not sales pressure or time-wasting listings.

03

You move in with confidence

Whether you’re buying, renting, or investing, you’ll make the right decision backed by local knowledge and personal support.

You don’t have to figure this out alone

I started Keen On Property after relocating to Queensland from New Zealand.

Even with over 20 years of real estate experience, I still found it ridiculously hard. The system is stacked for the seller, the rules are confusing, and real estate agents have the sellers best interest in mind.

Now, we help buyers secure the right property, on their terms, with complete confidence.
