Testimonials

Balancing work and family life can be a real challenge, especially when you're managing your own business and caring for a young family. Kamran Ahmed, a father of three, was determined to carve out more time to spend with his family. Despite living in Morwell and commuting daily to Drouin, where he owns a United Petrol station, Kamran realised he could reclaim precious hours by relocating closer to his business.

Rather than settling for an existing property in Drouin, Kamran and his wife Aneela were impressed by the Zara display homes in both Drouin and Traralgon. They were convinced that building a brand-new home was the best choice after seeing the quality and options available.

Sometimes life has a way of diverting us from the path we originally envisioned. Dylan Nuske, a yard supervisor at local company Yarrabe and Castlemaine Stone, faced this reality. Initially, he had set out to construct his ideal Zara home alongside his partner. However, when personal circumstances took an unexpected turn, his plans underwent a significant transformation.

Despite the challenges, Dylan made the resolute choice to move forward. He recognised the importance of entering the property market as soon as possible, aiming to secure his place before he was squeezed out. Undeterred, he remained committed to his original vision of building the four-bedroom Delta on his 900sqm block.

For Yvette and her two boys, being by the beach in Adelaide’s northwest was exactly where they were meant to be.

While they were rapidly outgrowing their current house, the everchanging real estate market and rising house prices in the area had Yvette concerned that she may need to move from the location that she had grown to love so much.

“It was a stressful time. It was breaking my heart to think that we would potentially have to leave the area. My boys and I had developed great relationships with our neighbours, the beach was 300m away, their school was close and there was a park at the end of the street. We loved it there.”

So, Yvette made the call that would ultimately start her journey with Zara – to knock down their current home and build new.

Twentysomething nurse and first-time home-buyer Sonia set herself a goal to “achieve something great” in the form of an investment property and retirement home for her Mother, Su.

Spurred on by numerous road trips to Lake Macquarie and a timely visit to a Zara display home, Sonia and Su are now happily immersed in the Studio M experience as they look forward to seeing their dream home come to life in “clean and beautiful” Morisset Park, NSW.
