We advocate for first home buyers
Perth’s Premier New Home Broker.
We work for you.
Not for the builder, the land developer, or the bank.
Locale Homes is your property partner that’s working for you, and only you.
Your home ownership journey is important to us, and we think you deserve a modern home-buying experience. A new way.
Locale Homes is a new home broker or building broker. Similar to a mortgage broker, we work on your behalf to find the right finance solution, block or land your dream piece of land and select a builder that will deliver your perfect new home.
We want you to enjoy your journey and not worry about speaking with multiple people and navigating complex procedures on your own. We’re saying no to confusing and conflicting promises pushed on you, and yes to an advocate working just for you – and having your back, every step of the way.
Experience a new people-first way of finding your perfect place. One where your aspirations mean as much to us as they do you.
Let’s discover your Locale.
Why Choose a Building Broker?
Experience a new way to home
We prioritise your best interests as your dedicated new home advocate (not the big corporations). With us, you’ll have the advantage of having a single point of contact throughout your entire home buying.
The most choice in one place
Access a huge range of designs from our panel of trusted builders, all in one place. We are sure that we’ll find the perfect place for you – one that ticks all the boxes and fits your budget.
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 always here to tell you what you need to hear.
Backed by Experience
As experts in the Perth market, our brokers are familiar with the latest building regulations, trends, and materials, ensuring your home is built to last.
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.
How it works
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 Margaret River, and everywhere in between.
Building a new home involves a lot of moving parts: from finding land and choosing a design, to comparing builders, understanding contracts, and managing costs. For most buyers, it’s unfamiliar territory.
A building broker helps you make sense of it all.
Just like a mortgage broker compares lenders, a building broker compares builders, helping you navigate the process with less stress and better outcomes.
People choose to work with a building broker because they want:
-
Independent advice – not recommendations based on a builder’s bottom line.
-
More builder and design choices – without having to shop around or be stuck with what one builder has on offer.
-
Clarity on pricing and inclusions – including hidden costs that might catch you off guard.
-
Guidance on timelines, contracts and the process – transparent and explained in plain language.
- Support from start to finish – from planning to key handover.
It’s about saving time, money, and hassle, while gaining confidence in your decisions.
Your new home journey deserves a better buying experience.
Going straight to a builder often means you’re only seeing one option. Their homes, their pricing, their terms.
A building broker works differently. We act as your advocate, comparing multiple builders and designs to help you find the best fit for your needs, goals, and budget.
Here’s why people choose a broker over going it alone:
-
More choice: We compare a wide range of builders and floorplans — not just one catalogue.
- Peace of mind: Rely on the people in the know, who have vetted builders and selected those who will deliver.
-
Impartial advice: We’re not tied to any one builder, so our guidance is genuinely in your best interest.
-
Better deals: With insider industry knowledge, we can negotiate inclusions, price holds, build times and more.
-
Clarity and confidence: We explain contracts, flag hidden costs, and break down the fine print so nothing catches you off guard.
-
Ongoing support: From land sourcing to key handover, we’re by your side the whole way. We’re your property partner for life, after all.
Put simply: you get more value, less stress, and a better build experience when you have an expert in your corner.
No, it doesn’t cost you a cent more.
Building brokers, like us, are paid by the builder – the same way a sales rep working at a builder would be. The difference? We work for you, not them.
Instead of pushing one builder’s product, we compare a panel of trusted builders who have been handpicked for their quality, reliability, and customer care. We constantly review this panel to ensure they’re still delivering on time, to standard, and without overpromising and taking on too much work (because this will hurt your build experience in the long run).
So while the builder pays us, our loyalty is to you.
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 financial 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.

We may look shiny and new, but we’re backed by industry-leading talent who have navigated the industry’s highs and lows, all while maintaining a customer-centric approach.
With decades of experience, we 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 competitive prices, with no extra fees.
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.
No, we’re not a builder. We will work with you to identify what will make your home truly unique and meet 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.
Leveraging our industry experience, we also work on your behalf to negotiate the best deal.
