According to realestate.com.au a GOLD Coast family has bought and sold $18 million worth of property over three years, taking advantage of Queensland’s pandemic property boom.

Since January 2019, Jeremy Langston has bought six homes, sold three, and just listed his fourth property for sale at Burleigh Heads.

Mr Langston, a 35-year-old business owner and father-of-four, said it had been an extraordinary journey with his young family.

“We bought our very first home in Gilston in January, 2019, but when the pandemic happened we decided we wanted to live closer to the beach and bought a home in Robina,” Mr Langston said.

“But we loved the area that the Burleigh Heads locals have affectionately named Koala Park and bought our third home in Tawarri Cres.”

Included in his incredible property portfolio was Queensland’s most photographed home, The Palms, Burleigh Heads.

Mr Langston and his wife Katie met Conal Martin, principal at Kingfisher Realty, who introduced them to The Palms.

Before they knew it, they had bought the iconic home at auction and sold their Robina and Koala Park properties.

Tennis star Lleyton Hewitt and his wife Bec bought The Palms off Mr Langston, which he sold for $550,000 more just three months after purchasing it.

Jeremy and Katie Langston sold their home Burleigh Heads home The Palms to tennis superstar Lleyton Hewitt and his wife Bec Hewitt.

“Even though we were living in Queensland’s home of the year 2021, we were homesick for Koala Park, so we found the perfect location in the same street we lived in previously and sold The Palms to the Hewitts,” he said.
