This Buyer's Journey
This wonderful client was recommended to me by one of her friends. Based in Sydney, she had spent a few months housesitting just outside of Mullumbimby and, like many who spend time here, she quickly fell in love with the town — its character, community feel, and easy connection to nature. After that experience, she decided she wanted to relocate and make Mullumbimby home.
Relocating from Sydney to Mullumbimby is no small move, and the property market here can be quite different — often fast-paced, unique, and heavily relationship-driven. She knew she needed someone with local expertise to help her navigate the process with clarity and confidence. With her Sydney property already sold, timing was tight, and she didn’t want to risk renting or moving twice. She had a clear brief: a home full of character with income potential, low-maintenance features, and within easy walking distance to Mullumbimby’s shops, cafes, and essential amenities. That’s when she reached out to me as she wanted an expert local buyer’s agent specialising in Mullumbimby and the surrounding Northern Rivers region to help make her move smooth, strategic, and ultimately successful.
How I helped find the perfect home
From our very first call, it was clear we’d work well together. She was ready to begin the search, and I was able to guide her through the entire process — shortlisting the most suitable homes, handling all inspections locally on her behalf, and keeping things moving quickly and efficiently.
As a local buyer’s agent in Mullumbimby, I was able to present her with the full picture — including access to off-market properties and honest, experience-based insight into the nuances of each opportunity. We narrowed the options down to two standout properties. We initially submitted an offer on one, which had great potential and two separate dwellings, but just as things were progressing, another home came to market — and it was an even better fit.
This stand out property had everything she was looking for: Heritage charm, a spacious main residence, a fully approved architect-designed secondary dwelling, a magnesium plunge pool, and a generous block with rear lane access — all tucked into one of Mullumbimby’s most sought-after streets. The home also has a unique history as the former town hospital in the 1950s, which added another layer of character and story.
We moved quickly and secured the property without hesitation. I negotiated a settlement that aligned perfectly with her timeline, allowing her to move straight from Sydney into her new home without the stress of temporary accommodation.
Helping her make this big move — and find the right property in Mullumbimby — was a real pleasure.
