Our story
Local roots.
A shared approach.
We’re Darren and Megan Lockwood, helping people buy and sell across the Sunshine Coast and its hinterland. Palmwoods is home, and we have a particular appreciation for acreage, village life and the space that draws people to this part of the Coast.
Married in 2006, we’ve raised a blended family of eight children. Family life has given us a practical understanding of how a home’s role changes over time—from finding room to grow to choosing a simpler next chapter.
We bring that perspective to our work with AURA Property. We listen to your plans, explain the options and keep you informed throughout the sale. Our approach combines personal attention with considered marketing, modern technology and experienced negotiation.

Meet Darren
Darren began his career at Ray White Caloundra in 1997, approaching real estate as a long-term profession. He went on to become an auctioneer and, in 2004, purchased the Raine & Horne franchise in Kawana Waters.
His background as a principal, licensee and auctioneer brings perspective to pricing, campaign strategy and negotiation. Across his career, he has helped more than 1,000 property owners move and conducted more than 300 auctions.
For Darren, experience matters most when it helps a client make a clear decision: understanding the market, working through an offer or keeping a sale moving towards settlement.

Meet Megan
Megan is part of the personal service at the heart of the Lockwoods team. Together, she and Darren take the time to understand each client’s circumstances and what they hope their next move will bring.
Their shared family life and connection to the hinterland shape an approach grounded in people as well as property. Whether the move is across town or into a new lifestyle, their aim is to make the process clear and manageable.
Working together, Darren and Megan combine local knowledge with a commitment to attentive service, thoughtful presentation and communication throughout the selling journey.
