Straight Shooters at du Preez & Co
Buying or selling property is one of the biggest decisions most of us will ever make. Deb Caruso meets the team of agents making sure clients never have to navigate it alone.
At 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.
Led by Steven du Preez, the team is known for delivering a well-managed experience from start to finish. Clients know where they stand, what’s happening next and why, with clear communication at every stage.
“Houses are people’s biggest assets, so when we work hard to get a great result on someone’s sale, that genuinely makes me feel good,” Steven said.
Three and a half years into real estate, the results speak for themselves. Steven has more than 100 glowing client reviews on Realestate.com.au and was named one of only three national finalists of its Rising Star Award; and was a top-10 finalist for Real Estate Business (REB) Regional Sales Agent of the Year.
What his clients consistently value is not flash or fanfare, but the practical stuff: being reachable when it matters, getting honest feedback after open homes and always knowing where their property stands.
“Communication is everything,” he said. “You have to give people a balanced view – tell them what they need to hear, not just what sounds good. If vendors have all the information, they can make good decisions. That’s the job.”
His accounting background advising on business mergers, sales and complex financial deals, gives him an edge when it comes to pricing, market positioning and negotiation, but he is quick to point out that numbers are only part of the equation.
“You need to know when to rely on the numbers,” he said, “and when to read the room.”
That thinking shapes the way du Preez & Co operates as a boutique agency with a hands-on team structure. Steven is joined by General Manager Jenna du Preez, licensed agents Fabiana Papahatzis, Jay Cohen and Lily Mower, and sales agent Tracey Kay.
It’s a deliberately diverse team, with the right people matched to the right properties, so each campaign benefits from strong attention to detail and a coordinated approach.
As locals who have chosen to live, invest, and raise their families on the Sunshine Coast, the team brings genuine insight into both the market and the lifestyle. That connection translates into campaigns that resonate with results worth repeating. The agency lists properties across the region, specialising in the 4575 postcode areas of Bokarina, Wurtulla and Warana whilst also holding the Top Agent Award for Little Mountain in 4551.
A boutique, high-touch service built on long-term relationships, du Preez & Co offers considered, expert advice and the kind of straight-talking that actually moves things forward.
