Client: Jacob and MC 
Family Type: Young first-time buyers
Buyers Agent: Leanne
Service: Property Purchase Service
Current Situation: Living at home and looking to enter the market. 

The Challenge

Jacob and MC were first home buyers looking to enter the Brisbane market with a budget under $850,000. Like many first home buyers, they quickly discovered how challenging the market had become.

Within their budget, they were facing:

• Limited stock and strong competition for quality properties.
• Rising prices making it difficult to secure good value.
• Pressure to make the right decision for their very first purchase.
• Uncertainty around whether they should be looking at units, townhouses, or houses. 

Jacob and MC knew they needed guidance to avoid wasting time and to make a confident, well-informed decision.

The Solution

Leanne worked closely with Jacob and MC to simplify the process and show them what was realistically possible within their budget:

• Helped them clearly understand their buying power in the current Brisbane market.
• Refined the search to focus on properties with strong long-term growth potential.
• Provided clear guidance to help them avoid over committing to the wrong type of property early on.
• Identified opportunities they had not initially considered, including small-lot houses.

Instead of limiting them to a unit or townhouse, Leanne broadened their perspective and focused on finding a property that would better support their long-term goals.

The Outcome

Leanne successfully secured the ideal first home for Jacob and MC:

• A house on a small block with no body corporate fees.
• A rare find within their budget in a competitive market.
• Secured a property they initially didn’t think was possible at their price point.
• A strong land component, providing better long-term growth potential.

Jacob and MC now have a solid foundation in the Brisbane market. Rather than settling for a unit or townhouse, they were able to secure a home that gives them real growth potential and flexibility for the future. This purchase positions them well to continue building equity and upgrade as their circumstances evolve.
