A building broker, new homes advocate, or new homes broker is a professional (or team in our case) who assists buyers in navigating the intricate process of building a new home from start to finish. Instead of working for a builder, a land developer, or a bank, a building broker works for you.

They serve as your partner and guide throughout the whole home-buying journey – from sorting out your finances, searching for land, finding the right home design, selecting the builder, all the way through construction. Their primary role is to streamline the process, making the often overwhelming journey feel exciting while ensuring you feel empowered in your decisions. We’re here to ensure you achieve a high-quality home build through a trusted builder at the best possible price and on time.

When you engage a building broker, they take the time to fully understand your requirements and aspirations, as well as your financial situation. Since building brokers are independent, with extensive experience in the industry, they are dedicated to helping you make an informed decision, and by working with a panel of builders, they ensure you get a competitive deal.

Using a broker, you gain peace of mind knowing that you have an experienced and unbiased building expert by your side throughout the entire building journey.

At Locale Homes, we do not charge any additional upfront fees to our customers.

We get paid by the respective building company when we identify the right home for our clients. If you choose to work with our in-house finance team at Locale Finance, our in-house finance brokers get paid by the banks directly, so there are no extra costs to you.

This model follows the same standard approach as other insurance or financial brokerages.

Our business is based on customer experience and advocacy, unlike individual corporations pushing their one product on you. We are all for choice and providing unbiased advice.

Your price will be comparable and often more affordable than other new home options, with the added value of having an advocate with you each step of the way to ensure your expectations are met and your purchasing experience is one to be celebrated.

We focus on providing true value for money for our customers. We ensure you’re aligned with a builder that can deliver on customer experience, timeframes, quality construction, high-level finishes, proper aftercare, and a lifetime warranty. We carefully select and partner with builders who share our values and have a proven track record of working in the best interest of our customers.

This means you can have peace of mind knowing that you won’t find yourself in a horror story scenario with hidden costs, poor quality, and prolonged building times.

If you do not proceed, there is no cost to you. We’re here to advocate for our customers, and if you choose not to proceed based on what is right for you, we are in support of your decision.

In a way, yes – you could consider us to be a building broker platform with a finance arm. However, there’s a significant difference between Locale Homes and other building brokers out there. We’re proud to bring a level of scale and sophistication to the West Australian market (and eventually nationwide) that is unparalleled in the industry.

One of the ways we differentiate ourselves is through our ability to seamlessly integrate with builders using best-in-class processes, our dedicated support teams, and our ongoing investment in technology platforms. This means that we’re able to align with different builders’ processes and offer you a streamlined, hassle-free experience. You’ll have a singular point of contact throughout the entire buying journey, from attaining finance, selecting your land, to building your dream home. No need to worry about the confusion that comes when dealing with multiple people.

You can rest assured knowing that we will be by your side, offering guidance through the decision-making process and helping you steer clear of any costly mistakes.

No, it doesn’t cost you a cent more.

Building brokers, like us, are paid by the builder – the same way a sales rep working at a builder would be. The difference? We work for you, not them.

Instead of pushing one builder’s product, we compare a panel of trusted builders who have been handpicked for their quality, reliability, and customer care. We constantly review this panel to ensure they’re still delivering on time, to standard, and without overpromising and taking on too much work (because this will hurt your build experience in the long run).

So while the builder pays us, our loyalty is to you.
