About · The Property Plug

Your connection
to property.

We are a building broker, not a builder. We sit on your side of the table, compare the panel for you, and stay with you from brief to handover.

The Property Plug is an Australian building broker founded by Daniel Girmay, working across Perth, Melbourne and Brisbane. We have helped over 450 buyers into property, from first home buyers to second home buyers and investors, connecting them to a curated panel of verified builders, 46 designs costed across 102 Perth suburbs, land and in-house finance. We are paid by the builder, never by you.

01 The story

Why we exist

The Property Plug started because building brand new is stacked against the buyer. Every volume builder can only show you their own range, gates the price behind an enquiry, and runs a sales floor that works for them. There was no honest, cross-builder, price-transparent way to compare. So we built one.

Daniel Girmay founded the company in Perth after watching too many people overpay by building direct, with no one independent in their corner. The fix was a broker model: curate the best builders onto a panel, publish the real from-prices, compute the honest landed cost with per-suburb siteworks, and make the whole comparison free to the buyer.

Today we hold 46 designs from $309,218 to $535,929 base build, with real siteworks costed across 102 Perth suburbs, and we have helped over 450 buyers into a property. We present our collection of designs and introduce your matched builder once we have matched them to your block, because the curation is the value and the introduction should be about your build, not a pitch. We are paid by the builder, never by you, so the advice does not change with the brand on the contract.

02 Broker, not builder

Why a broker beats going direct

A building broker can compare every builder on the panel, while a builder can only ever sell you their own stock. The Property Plug is independent, paid by the builder and free to you, so the shortlist is built around your block and budget rather than a single brand's range.

What you get	A single builder	The Property Plug
Range you can compare	One builder's stock	A curated panel of 46 designs
Price visibility	Gated behind enquiry	Real from-prices on the page
Whose side the team is on	The builder's	Yours
Finance and land	Referred out or your own	Built into the process
Cost to you	Your time, often a worse deal	$0, paid by the builder

03 What we stand for

The promise

Independent, always

We are a broker, not a builder. We are paid by the builder, never by you. The recommendation is about your build, never a sale.

Real numbers, up front

We publish honest from-prices on all 46 designs and compute the landed cost with real per-suburb siteworks. No gated price, no teaser.

Curation over volume

A builder earns a panel spot against track record, inclusions, delivery and fit. No builder buys placement.

We connect first home buyers and investors to a curated panel of verified builders, 46 designs costed across 102 Perth suburbs, land and in-house finance, we are paid by the builder, never by you.

Is The Property Plug a builder?

No. The Property Plug is a building broker. We do not build homes. We compare a verified panel of builders against your block and budget and introduce you to the best fit, then guide you to handover. Because we are independent, the comparison is genuinely about your build.

Who founded The Property Plug?

The Property Plug was founded by Daniel Girmay in Perth, Western Australia, after seeing too many buyers overpay by building direct without a comparison. The broker model exists to give buyers the independent comparison and the finance help for free.

How does The Property Plug make money?

We are paid by the builder, never by you. The builder pays a fee when a buyer we introduce proceeds. The from-price you see is the builder's honest price, not marked up, and our advice does not change based on which builder you choose.

Where does The Property Plug operate?

We operate as a building broker across Perth, Melbourne and Brisbane. Perth carries our deepest pricing today, with real siteworks costed for 102 suburbs across the growth corridors. In Melbourne and Brisbane the broker model is live and packages and pricing are matched to your brief and confirmed with the builder on enquiry.
