Real estate done properly — and why that phrase means everything to us.

If you’ve been following along here for a while, you know that between the travel stories, beach days, and family adventures, our life is pretty anchored to one place — the Sunshine Coast. And while we love sharing the magic of faraway destinations, there’s something just as exciting happening a little closer to home.

I want to take a little detour from our usual content and share something that’s genuinely close to my heart — our family business. Because honestly, some of the best stories aren’t the ones that start at an airport. Some of them start right at your front door.

Introducing du Preez & Co

“Real estate is approached with clarity, structure, and intent. No unnecessary noise, no one-size-fits-all process — just the right strategy applied at the right time.”

That’s the philosophy behind du Preez & Co. — our family’s boutique real estate agency right here on the Sunshine Coast. Led by Steven du Preez, the business was built on something refreshingly simple: doing real estate properly.

In a world where every agent promises the moon, Steven’s approach is different. It’s personal. It’s strategic. And the results speak for themselves — properties selling in a week, sellers who feel genuinely heard, and a growing collection of glowing reviews from families just like ours across Bokarina, Warana, Buderim, and beyond.

What I love most about what Steven has built is that it doesn’t feel like a transaction. It feels like being guided by someone who actually understands what’s at stake when you’re buying or selling a home. That’s not something you find everywhere — but it’s something we’ve always believed in as a family.

Whether you’re thinking about selling, curious about what your property is worth, or just starting to explore the market on the Sunshine Coast — I’d genuinely encourage you to reach out. Not because it’s family, but because it’s good. (Though the family part doesn’t hurt. 😊)

You can browse current listings, read real reviews, view our latest property videos and get in touch for a free market appraisal directly on the website. — go take a look!

Boutique, strategic, and genuinely personal. If you’re buying or selling on the Sunshine Coast, Steven and the team would love to help.
