About James McNeill

James McNeill is the founder of Source to Sold, an Australia-wide consultancy focused on sourcing and supporting property opportunities, with specialisation in Queensland, Victoria and New South Wales, with Tasmania and South Australia.

His career has two chapters. The first was technology: a professional IT career from 1998, spanning nearly two decades of desktop systems engineering, infrastructure and IT management across large corporate and government environments including Rio Tinto at their London head office, one of Brisbane's major law firms, Queensland Government and the oil and gas company Santos, where the work was about making complex systems reliable, structured and repeatable. The interest started even earlier, with his first computer in the 1980s.

The second chapter is property, now spanning more than eleven years. It began in self-managed super fund finance and property between 2014 and 2017, researching regions and suburbs for growth and yield, recommending options that suited the structure of each client's fund, and supporting investors through finance, acquisition and settlement. That work made one discipline second nature: matching a property to a specific scenario rather than to a general market view.

From 2017 to 2023 James was at Catapult Property Group and Catapult Homes, joining as Residential Sales Manager and progressing to Associate Director, Residential across a near six-year tenure. He was a driving force behind the group's first home buyer program and its success, helping buyers step off the rental roundabout by sourcing suitable land, negotiating finance terms, working through home design and guiding each purchase through to settlement.

Since 2023 his focus has been business development in wholesale residential construction with two of the industry's biggest and best-known wholesale builders, connecting property investment, wealth-creation and industry professionals with quality house-and-land solutions across South East Queensland and regional growth markets. That wholesale supply side is the network Source to Sold sources from today.

Between SMSF investment property, first home buyers and wholesale supply, James has sat on every side of a new-build transaction: fund structure, finance, land, construction and sales. It also means he knows the agent's world from the inside, including the pressures of the day-to-day, the way a deal is built, and why it deserves respect. That understanding shapes how Source to Sold supports its partners. The live stock tracker and the reports written to each client scenario exist to back agents, not to compete with them.

That combination is why Source to Sold approaches property differently. Rather than relying on spreadsheets and inherited processes, James builds the tools himself: a live tracker of wholesale new-build stock and customised property reports written to each client scenario.

Source to Sold was created to help connect developers, builders and investment selling groups with opportunities that align with their objectives, supported by the data and analysis needed to act on them with confidence.
