A Home That Grows With You: Glen's Allam Home Journey

When Glen Barker first chose an Allam home, it was about staying close to family. His son had purchased a home at Killarney, Box Hill, and Glen followed suit, settling into his first Allam property in the same estate. Little did he know that this decision would mark the start of a lasting relationship with Allam Homes.

Fast forward a few years, and Glen and his wife found themselves needing a home that could adapt to their changing needs. His wife’s fall prompted the search for a more accessible, future-proof design. Their new Allam home at Redgum Rise, Oakville, proved to be the perfect fit. With a thoughtfully designed fifth bedroom and ensuite on the ground floor, the home allows them to comfortably live on one level if needed.

Beyond the home itself, Glen was drawn to the location at Redgum Rise. While Box Hill initially appealed to him, it has since become busier and more crowded. Oakville, as a neighbouring suburb, offers the same excellent location benefits—close to amenities and transport—without the hustle and bustle that now defines Box Hill.

The journey to their new home was made seamless by Glenn Smith, their Sales Consultant, who had also assisted with their first Allam purchase. From timing the build to align with the sale of their existing property to ensuring settlement could proceed smoothly without the need for bridging finance, Smith’s guidance made the entire process stress-free.

Glen highlights the transparency of buying with Allam as a standout experience. Unlike other builders they considered, where hidden costs were a concern, Allam’s straightforward “what you see is what you get” approach gave him confidence. The after-sales support from the maintenance team further cemented his trust.

Now settled into their new home at Redgum Rise, Glen couldn’t be happier with his decision to buy another Allam home—so much so that he has already recommended Allam to friends, with one of them now preparing to join the Redgum Rise community.

Glen’s story highlights the strong relationships Allam fosters with its homeowners, along with the thoughtful design, exceptional support, and transparent value that inspire their loyalty.
