Gus Lander

From Wine Business to Property Renovation Expert

Gus Lander has launched Inner West Nest, a boutique buyers agency specialising in owner-occupier properties with renovation potential in Sydney’s Inner West. His experience doubling the value of his own renovation project, combined with his deep local knowledge as a 15-year Balmain resident, gives him unique insights into property potential. Despite juggling a wine business and family commitments with three children, Gus has quickly established himself in the property space.

“I just like to connect with people on that personal level to establish trust and rapport. That’s obviously really important to a client to hand their trust over and deliver a brief.”

Gus’s property journey began in 2012 when he purchased his first “gut reno” terrace with his wife. After completing extensive renovations, they sold in 2016 for nearly double their investment. Finding themselves as buyers in a competitive market, they engaged a buyer’s agent who secured them another renovation opportunity.

“BAI gave me the framework to hit the ground running.”

Rather than setting rigid growth targets, Gus is concentrating on perfecting his process while maintaining the flexibility to balance business with family life.

“It’s really just about connecting on that personal level. I think it’s such a rewarding part of being a buyer’s agent.”
