Don’t worry, we do. Home buying can be a brain melt with home builders either giving you TMI and overwhelming you with blueprints, numbers and fast-talking salespeople. Or they give you NEI (that’s ‘not-enough-information’), surprising you with hidden costs and other nasties. We’re not into any of that. So, we created this book. Move through it with one of our not-salesy peeps and you’ll see that at Smart we give you all the smarts in one JEI (that’s ‘just enough information’) package. The best bit? If you want more info it’s on tap. Our smarties are brimming with building smarts, design smarts, location smarts…all the smarts really. And unlike the last Tim Tam, they’ll always share.

L e t ’ s ta l k Must-haves, lust-haves, and a whole lotta smarts.
0 1. Finance smarts First up, dollar bills. How much are you spending on rent? Are you looking to pay more, less or roughly the same? Weekly repayments are the best way to visualise what you’re comfortable with borrowing. And, if you’re not sure, we’ve got in-house finance for that.

Location smarts
Design smarts
Second up, coffee. Well, sorta. Where you want to live is just as important as what you live in. So if there’s a barista brew you want to live close to, tell us. Having a clear pic of the amenities you’re after will help us find the perfect piece of WA for you.
Last but not least, let’s talk dream pads. Your dream pad. Are you downsizing, upsizing, or just treating yourself to a shiny new home? We’ll use our design smarts to make it happen. So you end up with a home that’s all you (and a little bit your partner, if you like!)

The building journey
, s e s s e c o r p r e S m art S D L I U B R E T BET
Wherever you build, we’ll use our building smarts to make the process less stressy and your new home more speccy. It starts with a fixed price contract and it ends with an immaculately finished home that’s full of stuff you’ll ooh and ahh over, every single day; like premium WA crafted kitchen cabinetry, deluxe European kitchen appliances, internal wall paint and so, so, so much more.
