Meet Drew & Lara

Local people. Genuinely on your side.

We're Drew and Lara, the founders of Whitsundays Property Buyers. We established WPB in 2024 to provide buyers with dedicated representation, local knowledge and a genuinely personal approach to purchasing property.

Client experiences

The experience, in our clients' words.

  • We worked with Drew and Lara to buy our first investment property in the Whitsundays and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better team. From day one they made the entire process feel simple, organised and stress-free, even from interstate.

    John & Stephanie

  • We had an excellent experience working with Drew and Lara. Immediately after the initial phone consult, I knew we had made the right choice.

    Jen & Joey

  • I can honestly say I wouldn’t have my beautiful apartment in Airlie Beach if it wasn’t for Drew and Lara. From day one, they were incredible. They made what could have been a complicated process feel easy, enjoyable, and completely under control.
