We’re saying no to confusing and conflicting promises pushed on you, and yes to an advocate working just for you.

Experience a new way to build your home
We prioritise your best interests (not a big corporation’s). Unlike a traditional salesperson with a one-builder focus, we are unbiased advocates who help you find the best builder, block and home design to suit your needs.
Your property partner for life
We want to build a mutually rewarding relationship based on understanding and knowledge. So that, in the future, when you’re ready for your next home, you give us a call. And you’re happy to introduce us to your family and friends.
We are not a builder (or a banker or a developer)
As your new home broker we look solely for you, representing your best interests; negotiating the best deal; and are always here to tell you what you need to hear.
Backed by experience
As experts in the property and building industry, we stay ahead of the latest regulations, trends, and materials.
It means we know what hidden costs to look out for; what to include and what to leave out; and who to trust with your new home.
Transparency you want to see
We will continue to rise to the challenge to do the right thing. This means being transparent, offering clear pricing, reliable timeframes, and guidance in the home-building process, all at no extra cost to you.
We are here to make something special happen.
Our founder Adam Schaal started Locale Homes with one simple premise in mind. It was that West Australians deserved a better property buying experience – one that’s focused on the customer’s needs and aspirations, not those of big corporations.
We have decades of experience and are in partnership with some of the industry’s biggest names. Why does this matter? It gives us the ability to connect you with the perfect home, land, and finance options at affordable prices, with no extra or hidden fees.
Experience the Locale Homes difference where you’ll have one point of contact, offering guidance and advocating for you, at every step in your homeownership journey.
More about us
We invest in relationships with our developer partners, from Australia’s largest master-planned communities to small boutique developments, providing you with the largest selection of land from Two Rocks to Mandurah, all the way down to the Magaret River, and everywhere in between.
A building broker, new homes advocate, or new homes broker is a professional (or team in our case) who assists buyers in navigating the intricate process of building a new home from start to finish. Instead of working for a builder, a land developer or a bank, a building broker works for you.
They serve as your partner and guide throughout the whole home buying journey – from sorting out your finances, searching for land, finding the right home design, selecting the builder, all the way through construction. Their primary role is to streamline the process making the often overwhelming journey feel exciting while ensuring you feel empowered in your decisions. We’re here to ensure you achieve a high-quality home build through a trusted builder at the best possible price and on time.
When you engage a building broker, they take the time to fully understand your requirements and aspirations, as well as financial situation. Since building brokers are independent, with extensive experience in the industry, they are dedicated to helping you make an informed decision and by working with a panel of builders, they ensure you get a competitive deal.
Using a broker, you gain peace of mind knowing that you have an experienced and unbiased building expert by your side throughout the entire building journey.
We’re your go-to property partner for all your home ownership requirements. We provide you with guidance and support every step of the way as you embark on this exciting journey.
We work exclusively for you. We’re not a builder, a land developer, or a lender. Instead, we focus solely on advocating for what you need to find your perfect home, location and finance solution. Essentially, we replace the sales consultant at the building company and land developer (much like a mortgage broker, only for your build).
We are shifting the way homes are purchased. As your main point of contact, we make sure that you don’t have to speak with multiple people and navigate complex procedures on your own.
We keep the process simple and easy, and provide you with the most choice and independent advice – it’s all about you.
The best part? Our service is free.
That’s the Locale Homes difference.
Buying your first home should be a special experience and we’re here to make sure that’s exactly what you get.

Our founder Adam Schaal started Locale Homes with one simple premise in mind. It was that West Australians deserved a better property buying experience – one that’s focused on the customer’s needs and aspirations, not those of big corporations.
With over 10+ years in the building industry, in successful Executive Leadership positions, Adam Schaal brings a strong understanding of the industry’s intricacies, customers’ needs, and pain points, and how these can be effectively addressed in an industry that is ready for disruption.
His commitment to customer satisfaction is at the core of everything we do, and we will always go the extra mile to ensure that you have a hassle-free and enjoyable experience.
Yes, we work with all land developers, from the largest in Australia to smaller, boutique developments.
Our reputation in the industry has given us unparalleled access to a wide range of land estates. This allows us to offer our customers an extensive selection of land options that are tailored to their specific needs and preferences.
Additionally, as we work for you, we are here to advocate for the best lot of land and contract terms.
At Locale Homes, we do not charge any additional upfront fees to our customers.
We get paid by the respective building company when we identify the right home for our clients. If you choose to work with our in-house finance team at Locale Finance, our in-house finance brokers get paid by the banks directly so there are no extra costs to you.
This model follows the same standard approach as other insurance or financial brokerages.
Our business is based on customer experience and advocacy, unlike individual corporations pushing their one product on you. We are all for choice and providing unbiased advice.
Your price will be comparable and often more affordable than other new home options, with the added value of having an advocate with you each step of the way to ensure your expectations are met and your purchasing experience is one to be celebrated.
We focus on providing true value for money for our customers. We ensure you’re aligned with a builder that can deliver on; customer experience, timeframes, quality construction, high-level finishes, proper aftercare, and a lifetime warranty. We carefully select and partner with builders who share our values and have a proven track record of working in the best interest of our customers.
This means you can have peace of mind knowing that you won’t find yourself in a horror story scenario with hidden costs, poor quality, and prolonged building times.
If you do not proceed, there is no cost to you. We’re here to advocate for our customers and if you choose to not proceed based on what is right for you, we are in support of your decision.
No, we’re not a builder. We will work with you to identify what will make your home truly unique and meets your requirements. Once we have a clear understanding of your vision, we’ll help you find the perfect builder who can make your dreams a reality.
Throughout the process, we’ll be your singular point of contact and guide you every step of the way. We’ll provide you with a behind-the-scenes look at all the important considerations involved in designing and selecting your home. We want to make this process hassle-free so that you can focus on enjoying the exciting journey of creating your dream home.
Our Managing Director has led some of Australia’s most successful building brands, so we know exactly how the industry works and what you need to consider when making one of your largest life decisions.
This independence means we’ll tell you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear to get you to sign on the dotted line. We vet our partners for financial stability, quality construction standards, and high customer satisfaction. We take care of the important details so you have peace of mind.
In a way, yes – you could consider us to be a building broker platform with a finance arm. However, there’s a significant difference between Locale Homes and other building brokers out there. We’re proud to bring a level of scale and sophistication to the West Australian market (and eventually nationwide) that is unparalleled in the industry.
One of the ways we differentiate ourselves is through our ability to seamlessly integrate with builders using best-in-class processes, our dedicated support teams, and our ongoing investment in technology platforms. This means that we’re able to align with different builders’ processes and offer you a streamlined, hassle-free experience. You’ll have a singular point of contact throughout the entire buying journey, from attaining finance, selecting your land, to building your dream home. No need to worry about the confusion that comes when dealing with multiple people.
You can rest assured knowing that we will be by your side, offering guidance through the decision-making process and helping you steer clear of any costly mistakes.
We are committed to helping anyone find their perfect place, regardless of whether it’s their first, second, or third home.
While we do offer a helping hand to first homebuyers in particular, we are here to support all buyers in their home-buying journey. Our focus is on providing a customer-centric experience that is personalised to your unique needs and aspirations.
Choosing to work with Locale Homes means you’ll have a property partner in your corner every step of the way. Advocating for you. We’ll take the time to understand your unique needs, so we can help guide you toward the perfect place for you, not what’s best for anyone else.
There are numerous factors to consider when building your dream home, such as design, land utilisation, and inclusions and our primary aim is to simplify the entire process, making it stress-free and easy. We’ll tell you everything you need to hear so you feel empowered to make the right decision.
You also get choice, choice without all of the hard work researching and speaking to different builders. That’s what we do.
Leveraging our industry experience, we also work on your behalf to negotiate the best deal.
What our clients say
Locale homes has been awesome to deal with and Ivano has been an absolute star, from explaining every little detail to dealing with builder issues as they arise. If I were to build again I would definitely be giving Ivano a call.
My Fiancé and I are currently in the process of building our first home together, Pryncess has truly made this experience much easier with her guidance and positive attitude. As we are first home buyers we have little knowledge about building a home. Pryncess ensured we know exactly what is going on and presented it in a way that helped us understand the full process. She has also kept us in the loop with absolutely everything that has gone on, and has consistent communication with us to make sure we are happy with everything and letting us know about any updates, next steps, etc which we have really appreciated.
I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Pyncess did a phenomenal job. From start to finish, Pyncess was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and patient.
