While you’re welcome to explore display homes, it's not necessary when working with Home Broker QLD, Instead, you'll meet with one of our experienced sales managers who will begin by assessing your block and its specific needs.

You might be wondering about the approximate timeframe for this process. While it can vary based on several factors, the average duration typically ranges from 6 to 8 weeks.
