Real estate agents in Scarborough
Janet Yeap
Scarborough is one of Perth’s best-known coastal suburbs, and buyers tend to arrive with a pretty clear idea of what they want from it.
The beach is the obvious draw, but there’s plenty happening beyond the sand. The foreshore brings together cafés, restaurants, bars, the Scarborough Beach Pool, markets and recreation, while the suburb itself stretches back through established residential streets with a broad mix of houses, apartments and townhouses.
It’s a market that gives sellers plenty to work with, particularly when a property has something distinctive to offer.
If you’re looking for a real estate agent in Scarborough, Janet Yeap brings a background in advertising and marketing to residential real estate, having previously worked as a Creative Director for multinational agencies in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. Her own experience in property investing, renovating and styling adds another layer when it comes to preparing and presenting a home for sale.
Selling property in Scarborough
Scarborough has a real mix of property types. The suburb includes older detached homes, renovated character properties, modern townhouses, apartments and larger developments closer to the beachfront. The City of Stirling notes housing ranging from timber-framed workers’ homes and 1960s flats through to contemporary units, with redevelopment having reshaped much of the coastal strip over time.
As of September 2026, REIWA records a median house price of $1.55 million and a median unit price of $848,000 in Scarborough. A two-bedroom apartment with ocean views is entering a very different market from an established family home on a larger block.
Janet looks at the property, its position within Scarborough and the people most likely to be interested before shaping the campaign around it.
Scarborough sells a lifestyle
Plenty of suburbs are close to the beach. Scabs has built a whole identity around it.
The foreshore includes the beach, pool, amphitheatre, skate park, playgrounds and a concentration of hospitality venues, with regular events such as the Scarborough Sunset Markets drawing people into the area.
Further inland, buyers have access to local schools, parks, sporting facilities and everyday shopping. Abbett Park alone supports a mix of football, tennis, cricket, bowls and other recreation, while the suburb has more than 20 hectares of public open space.
The lifestyle is broad enough that different homes can tell very different stories. For some homes, the ocean view may be the headline. For others, it could be a quieter street, a larger block, renovation potential, an easy walk to local cafés or the convenience of being close to Karrinyup and Innaloo.
Presentation can change the way buyers see a property
Janet spent years creating and selling ideas before moving into real estate.
Her background gives her a different perspective on the way a property is presented. She has also renovated and styled her own properties, with some of those projects appearing in home and property magazines.
Presentation might involve styling choices, photography, the order in which spaces are shown or deciding which aspects of the property deserve the most attention. A renovated kitchen may carry the campaign in one home, while an outlook, courtyard or unusually generous floorplan may do more work in another.
Looking beyond the listing photos
Scarborough buyers have plenty of stock to compare across different price points and property types.
For apartment buyers, strata costs, parking, storage, outlook, privacy and the condition of the complex can all enter the equation. Buyers may pay more attention to land, renovation, street position, outdoor living and future potential. Some of those differences are obvious online, while others only become clear once someone walks through the property.
Janet’s experience as both an investor and renovator helps her understand both the emotional side of buying a home, and also the practical questions buyers tend to ask when they start weighing up value.
That perspective can help shape the information, presentation and conversations around the property throughout the campaign.
A considered approach to selling
Selling a home is a series of decisions. There’s pricing to consider, work that could be completed before listing, presentation choices and options about how the property should go to market.
Janet takes a transparent and empathetic approach with clients, spending time understanding what they want to achieve and how the sale fits into their broader plans.
Once the campaign is underway, Janet works with Xceed Real Estate across photography, advertising, inspections, enquiries and administration while remaining the seller’s main point of contact.
Reaching a wider buyer market
Janet speaks English, Bahasa, Mandarin, Cantonese and Hokkien.
That gives her the ability to communicate directly with buyers and sellers from a broad range of backgrounds, particularly when conversations become more detailed during inspections, negotiations or the lead-up to an offer.
Scarborough attracts a varied buyer market, from people purchasing their first apartment through to investors, downsizers and families looking for a long-term home close to the coast. Clear communication helps Janet understand what buyers are responding to and relay that information back to sellers as the campaign progresses.
Understanding the Scarborough market
Scarborough has recorded strong recent growth, with REIWA reporting a 21.6% annual increase in its median sales price as of September 2026. That broader movement provides context, but the suburb’s varied housing stock means individual results still need a closer look.
A renovated house near the coast, an older home with land value and an apartment with ocean views can all respond differently to the same market conditions. Janet considers recent comparable sales, current listings and the features of the property itself when building a view of value.
Online estimates can give you the headline, but there are plenty of details underneath that only an experienced agent will uncover.
