Darra
Express trains, larger blocks and one of Brisbane's best-loved Vietnamese food precincts.
Why Darra
Darra has changed faster than its reputation. The station is on the express line, the Vietnamese food precinct on Darra Station Road draws people from across Brisbane, and large blocks that once held post-war cottages are being bought for new homes and townhouse projects.
More about Darra
No single agency dominates Darra. That means sellers often end up with a generalist who prices Darra like Inala or like Oxley. It is neither. We price Darra on Darra's own sales and on what builders and investors are actually paying for land right now.

What buyers pay for
What makes Darra worth more
01
Land size and shape
A wide, flat block near the station can be worth more to a builder than the house on it is worth to a family. We check the zoning and talk to our builder database before we set a price.
02
Investor returns
Darra's rents and proximity to the motorway, the station and the Wacol employment precinct make it a steady investor market. We present the rental appraisal alongside the sales appraisal so investors can see the numbers.
03
A finished home near the shops
Renovated homes within walking distance of the station and the food precinct sell to owner-occupiers who want the train and the lifestyle without the price of Corinda.

What clients say
TeeKay and his team are the only real estate agents I have ever felt were being honest and upfront with me, and I suspect we got an amazing price because buyers feel the same.
