How it works

1. Share the property

Send the listing link or address, your preferred option and what you’d like Darren to look at. For auction support, include the auction date and time.

2. Agree the details

Darren confirms suitability, access with the selling agent, timing, the video platform and the service and fee with you. For auction support, agree bidding authority, registration requirements and your maximum bid before the auction.

3. Get a closer view

Join the walkthrough remotely or arrange an alternative. With the value insight option, review the supporting market evidence and estimate with Darren. For auction support, Darren attends and bids within your instructions, then assists with post-auction negotiation if needed.

A clearer picture before your next step

This service is available for properties not listed with AURA Property Sunshine Coast, subject to location, availability and access approved by the selling agent or owner.

The walkthrough provides visual observations of accessible areas. It does not replace a specialist building, pest, pool or fire and smoke alarm inspection. Any opinion of value is an estimate based on available evidence, rather than a formal valuation.

Specialist services—including building and pest inspections, pool safety and certification inspections, and smoke alarm compliance checks—are arranged and paid for separately. These specialist costs are not included in Darren’s service fee. Darren can provide referrals to suitable professionals where required. Any recording or filming is subject to the necessary consent.
