The propertybuyer team has been in business over 23 years and purchased over 4000 properties. Propertybuyer is a totally independent “Buyers’ Agency” focused on searching, negotiating and buying property in Australia for home buyers and investors. Our goal for each client is the “right property, at the right price, every time”.

We help you:

• Create a clear strategy and realistic “buyers brief”
• Provide access to “off market listings” – properties that are not advertised
• Provide research on the best suburbs with good prospects for capital growth and yield
• Save time – Typically we find the ideal property within 30 to 60 days of engagement
• Negotiate the lowest possible price (ie protect your clients from paying too much!)
• Give accurate appraisals and excellent local knowledge, Propertybuyer is currently the most awarded Buyers’ Agency in Australia, with 37 Awards for Excellence.

We never sell property so we are truly independent – we are not paid by selling agents or developers, so we never have a conflict of interest. This means we can devote ourselves wholly to looking after your best interests.

We are passionate about all things property! This passion is about so much more than just property investments, numbers, and spreadsheets, it is about the relationships and genuine care we build with our clients.

We are exceptionally privileged when we are asked to assist our clients to help grow their investment property portfolios or even kick start their first purchase. Unlike most Buyers Agents, we are selective about our clients and do not try and do as many sales as possible – the emphasis is always on quality over quantity!

Our goal is not only to find the ultimate solution for them but to do so in a manner that ensures continued success by choosing locations primed for capital growth and the right cash flow for our client’s goals.
