Lachlan brings a sophisticated blend of commercial strategy, project delivery experience, and hands-on real estate expertise to the Inspire Realty team. With a career spanning nearly two decades, he has proven his ability to build, scale, and strategically guide complex commercial and property ventures.

Starting his career in 2005 working across Australia’s television networks, Lachlan founded and scaled Matched Image Pty Ltd, a broadcast equipment and technical services business, to a seven-figure annual turnover. His success in business development, procurement, and operational management provided him with the foundational skills that would translate powerfully into the property development space.

In 2014, Lachlan pivoted his focus toward property development, commercial advisory, and project delivery across Southeast Queensland. His hands-on experience is extensive and practical, spanning feasibility analysis, procurement, budgeting, regulatory approvals, contractor management, and end-to-end project delivery across both residential and commercial assets. This real-world exposure to the complexities of property development from feasibility through to delivery. This means Lachlan genuinely understands the challenges, opportunities, and strategic decisions that property investors face. He has navigated major residential and commercial developments, managed intricate project coordination, and refined his ability to identify sound investment opportunities and execute them effectively.

Beyond property, Lachlan brings broad advisory experience across private business and professional services, with recognised strengths in stakeholder management, operational improvement, and growth strategy. He holds a current Queensland Real Estate Licence, a Bachelor of Business from QUT, and is completing an MBA from the University of Queensland, demonstrating his commitment to continuous learning and professional excellence.

As an Associate Property Strategist at Inspire Realty, Lachlan is dedicated to bringing this depth of commercial insight, development expertise, and strategic thinking to every client engagement. He understands that successful property investment requires more than market knowledge, it demands practical expertise, clear communication, and a commitment to delivering outcomes.

Outside of work, Lachlan values a balanced, active life including travel, cooking, fitness, cold plunges and saunas, reading, live music, and time outdoors with his wife and their dog, George. Having played music and been involved in the creative industries all his life, he brings a curious and disciplined lens to both life and work.
