Putting Buyers First

This month we meet, Drew and Lara Kell-Colliver of Whitsundays Property Buyers – the region’s first and only exclusive buyers agency.

Established in May 2024, they offer three core services – a comprehensive buying service from search to settlement: an exclusive access to pre-market and off-market properties; negotiation only service for buyers who want expert guidance to secure the best price, terms, and inclusions; and auction representation providing a clear, confident strategy on auction day.

Whitsundays Property Buyers was established with a clear purpose – to put buyers first.

“Having experienced the challenges of buying from out of area ourselves, we saw just how valuable it would be to have a dedicated buyers service – one that offered the same support, strategy, and advocacy sellers receive,” said Lara.

Their first year of business been focused on raising awareness on their purpose and how it benefits those moving to the region, first home buyers, and time-poor investors. Educating the community has paid off as they are now proudly working with several returning clients.

Lara and Drew believe in giving back, with $500 from their service fee going to a local charity or regional not-for-profit of their client’s choice.

Their top tips to other business owners include:

Know your value and communicate it – Understand exactly who you help, what problems you solve, and why it matters. People choose businesses they trust, built through real value and meaningful relationships.

Marketing isn't optional, it's foundational – It's key to growth and credibility. People can’t work with you if they don’t know you exist.
