Our Process
Buying in Darwin is different — the climate, the architecture, and the lifestyle all demand a careful eye. Our process is designed to make it simple and transparent, so you can move with confidence into a home that fits the tropics and your life.
1. Discovery
We start with a conversation. Over coffee or a call, I need to get to know you — your budget, your wish-list, your non-negotiables, and your vision for life in the tropics.

2. Agreement
Once you’re ready, we set out with a clear scope and agreement so you know exactly what to expect, including costs.
This step confirms how we’ll work together, our responsibilities to you, and the confidence that we act only in your interest.
3. Search
We begin the hunt — scanning both on-market and off-market opportunities.
With local knowledge of Darwin’s neighbourhoods & networks, I find & shortlist homes that suit your needs and the tropical climate.
4. Assessment
Each property is carefully reviewed for quality, value, and readiness.
I provide you with clear insights — from building integrity and orientation, to body corporate fees, to potential for improvements — so you can make decisions with confidence.
5. Negotiation
When you’re ready to move forward, I can handle the strategy and negotiation.
My role is to secure the right property on the best terms, protecting your interests. I am your advocate.
6. Settlement & Beyond
I guide you through to settlement, connecting you with trusted local professionals for inspections, conveyancing, and finance.
Even after the keys are in your hand, I can remain a resource as you settle into life in Darwin.
