Success Story

How a local Moreton Bay buyers agent helped a Sydney buyer secure a Sandstone Point lifestyle home

Tim Allen of IPS Buyer’s Agents beside the sold sign for 10 Corrimal Place, Sandstone Point, secured for a Sydney-based client

At a glance: A Sydney-based client wanted to buy near the water in the Moreton Bay region, with a budget below $920,000 and a minimum land size of 400m². IPS Buyer’s Agents secured 10 Corrimal Place, Sandstone Point QLD 4511 in April 2026 — a house close to Bribie Island, Sandstone Point Beach, and the local lifestyle amenities that mattered to the client.

The brief: a coastal Moreton Bay home from interstate

The client was based in Sydney and looking for a home close to the water in South East Queensland. The brief was specific: secure a property with at least 400m² of land, keep the purchase within a budget below $920,000, and prioritise a location that offered the Bribie Island and Sandstone Point lifestyle.

Buying from interstate can make it harder to compare local pockets, inspect opportunities, and move with confidence when the right property becomes available. The client needed a local team that understood the area and could keep the search focused on the locations, land component, and lifestyle factors that mattered most.

As the client’s local Moreton Bay buyers agent, IPS Buyer’s Agents helped translate that brief into a targeted property search around Sandstone Point and the surrounding coastal precincts.


The right location for the client’s lifestyle brief

The successful property was 10 Corrimal Place, Sandstone Point QLD 4511, a house secured in April 2026.

Its location aligned closely with the client’s priorities:

Lifestyle connectionApproximate proximity
Surf side of Bribie Island15 minutes
Sandstone Point Hotel5 minutes
Sandstone Point Beach5 minutes
Brisbane CBD1 hour
Sunshine Coast50 minutes

The outcome was about identifying a home that met the client’s stated land and budget criteria while also giving them access to the lifestyle they were seeking. For an interstate buyer, proximity to key destinations can be just as important as the property itself.


Local Moreton Bay buyers agent support when the buyer is interstate

A local buyers agent can bring practical support to an interstate purchase. This can include clarifying the brief, shortlisting appropriate properties, coordinating inspections and due diligence, assessing the local context, and negotiating in line with the buyer’s instructions.

For this client, the value was in keeping the search disciplined. Rather than chasing every coastal listing, the process focused on the required land size, the sub-$920,000 budget, and the specific lifestyle links around Sandstone Point and Bribie Island.

The result was a home purchase that matched the client’s brief and reduced the complexity of buying from Sydney.
