With nearly 20 years of experience in Perth's new home industry, Brayden repeatedly saw the same problem: too many good people are trapped renting because buying a home felt confusing, fragmented and harder than it needed to be.

Having worked closely with buyers, builders and finance professionals throughout his career, he saw firsthand that people weren't lacking motivation — they were lacking clear guidance, trusted advice and someone genuinely in their corner.

Launch Homes was created to simplify the process and help everyday Australians stop renting and start building their future with confidence.

As a certified real estate professional with extensive experience across new homes, investments and land options, Brayden leads the team with one focus: delivering clarity, support and better outcomes at every step of the journey.

Outside of property, Brayden is a qualified winemaker, warm-water surfer and serves as Chief Judge for the Rolls-Royce Club Western Australia — a role that reflects his appreciation for quality, craftsmanship and attention to detail. He brings those same values into every client experience and believes a home is about more than bricks and mortar — it's about creating a lifestyle and future worth building and sharing with the people who matter most.

Carl Matera, Nu Age Settlements

Carl Matera

Nu Age Settlements

For all things settlement related, Carl is your go-to. As Founder and Director of Nu Age Settlements, Carl operates multiple businesses and is a Mortgage Broker by trade. His interest in Accounting goes back to his early days at the Commonwealth Bank, and he felt it was such a great fit and value add for his clients of over 25 years.

Most would suggest Carl is fairly laid back — not your typical Director — but let's not confuse this with the fact that he loves to have fun with his staff and clients, and achieve great results in an enjoyable manner.

Outside of work, which isn't too often, he loves spending time with his daughter, playing a round of golf, and enjoys a surf. It's also important to note that he's a mad Richmond Tigers supporter!
