Particularly for expats looking to buy, having those independent eyes and ears on the ground to go and look at properties for you, I felt that Matt really understood what our needs were in terms of the house. It was a five-star process with Propertybuyer. Everything from the initial discussions with Matt to how quick he was to respond to our emails. - Hanna Goodridge

Robyn at Propertybuyer Brisbane was AMAZING!! My husband and I were moving from Newcastle NSW to Brisbane QLD on a deadline, and wanted to buy our first house but did not know Brisbane very well.
Robyn was so helpful! She was honest and happily answered all questions we had. Her and the principal buyers’ agent, Glen, helped us understand what the suburb areas were like, their potential, vibe, ect. They were also very detailed in what we did and did not want to make sure what they showed us fit the brief.
She helped negotiate the settlement terms for the house we chose and because of that our offer was accepted. I have no doubt that without her we would not have got that house as we wouldn't have been able to make out settlement terms match the sellers needs so perfectly, and we also lacked the savvy industry experience.
The process was so much faster and less stressful than I always hear it is from friends that don't go with buyers’ agents. From first Zoom meeting to our offer being accepted was only 25 days! CRAZY! The house was within budget and ticked all the boxes (and more even things I wanted but thought we couldn't get for our price range).
Very much recommend Propertybuyer Brisbane and Robyn!

We have worked with Propertybuyer twice now to buy property: Once for an investment property in QLD (Toowoomba), and recently in Sydney to find our own home. We returned to Propertybuyer a second time as they have a great backing of up-to-date research on both the Australian market as a whole and expert agents with terrific knowledge and experience in local markets.
For our Sydney home search, we had amazing support from Niki McComb as our buyer's agent. Niki is highly experienced in the Western Sydney market we are looking to buy in and helped guide us to make a good choice, surprisingly quickly! (We just happened to fall in love with one of the second round of options Niki picked for us.) The biggest value in working with a buyer's agent and Niki in particular, is having confidence that a property doesn't just look like a good choice, but having that decision based on experience and expertise. The average homebuyer who only purchases a property once or maybe a few times in their life can't possibly obtain that level of knowledge and experience, so it's very reassuring to have someone on your side who does it for a living.
Niki took the time to understand our needs and clearly understands the difference between buying an investment and buying a home, adjusting her search and recommendations accordingly. She organized and accompanied us to inspections and negotiated on our behalf which I'm sure at the very least paid for the cost of hiring a buyer's agent.
Overall, I would highly recommend Niki and Propertybuyer for anyone looking to purchase a property who needs strong market knowledge and experience on their side. Thank you, Niki!

Propertybuyer Sydney and agent Niki has helped me through my property search journey and eventually find something suitable for me. The whole process was smooth with their help. I'd highly recommend them!
My main challenges during the search journey is that I'm overseas and my requirements and preferences had been changing a lot. Niki is very professional and accommodating with all my changes throughout the process.
I chose Propertybuyer because of their sound record and past successes. They provide services in different tiers with reasonable pricing which well fit my needs.
Niki helped me search for property sales in the suburbs of my interest, attended inspections, video recorded the tour around the properties, negotiated with the vendor agents, organized solicitor conveyancing, building inspection and making offer on potential sales. Her help has taken a lot of weight and work off my shoulder and made it a hassle-free process for me.
I'd highly recommend Propertybuyer and Niki to whomever that is looking for a buyers’ agent service.

From the moment we met Lisa and Munro we knew we were in safe, diligent, expert and professional hands. What we didn’t expect was the exemplary support, care and absolute joy it would be to have this wonderful team as a part of our lives during such an important time.
As a team they had absolutely everything covered - the stress of buying a home was removed. We actually managed to fun, enjoy the ride and importantly make a wise purchase, because we knew we had Lisa and Munro (two seasoned professionals) by our side. They guided us with market insights, deep expertise in the locations we were searching, industry intel and their own personal lessons learnt.
Thank you sincerely for your professionalism, expertise and warmth - we couldn’t have done it without you!
Amanda was a great agent who listened to my goals, enacted my property strategy, provided sound advice, and advocated for my best interests. Couldn't ask for more.

Propertybuyer were engaging and understood my requirements to purchase a property within my means. They were able to negotiate a great deal off-market and continued to work for my interests right up to settlement and I feel comfortable going to them for advice and recommendations. I would absolutely recommend them as buyers agent and look forward to working with them again in the future.

I would recommend Niki McComb from Propertybuyer Sydney to assist with purchasing a property. Despite having the funds available, I simply didn't have the time to dedicate to property hunting. Niki took the reins and located properties that matched my criteria. We hit some major bumps along the way, but stayed positive, reset and searched some more.
Niki provided invaluable recommendations for lawyers, conveyancers, and inspectors to save me time.
If you are looking for an enthusiastic, friendly, knowledgeable and efficient buyers advocate, I would highly recommend Niki McComb.

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Matt and Monique!
As we are currently living overseas we could not attend the viewings ourselves. We trusted them fully knowing that they have our best interest in mind and we are very happy with the property we bought in Sydney. Thank you once again for your guidance and support throughout the whole process. We highly appreciate it and would definitely recommend you and your agency to our family and friends.
My wife and I don’t have enough words to express our gratitude and how thankful we are to Nick for securing a property for us in the auction.

My wife and I don’t have enough words to express our gratitude and how thankful we are to Nick for securing a property for us in the auction.
Nick is a great buyers agent and a wonderful person who supported us throughout the process and always answered all our questions.
We were a bit scared at the auction as there were 11 registered bidders but Nick had a wonderful strategy that resulted in winning the auction. We would definitely recommend Nick as a buyers agent to anyone looking to buy a property.
Thank you so much Nick and you are great at what you do!

My husband and I knew we wanted to purchase property but didn’t think we could afford to buy a property to live in, let alone in Sydney. After watching a webinar with Rich Harvey I reached out to Propertybuyer to see what options we had.
We initially spoke with Peter who assured us Propertybuyer could help and he paired us with Niki. Niki was very knowledgeable about the area we were looking; she knew what was important to us and also taught us what to look for to maximise capital growth. It was so helpful having Niki attend the open homes first and then arranging private inspections for us and also liaising and negotiating with the seller’s agent on our behalf.
I’m so happy we went with Propertybuyer, I think having a buyers agent was a great investment for our future as I don’t think we would have found such a good property without them. I also appreciate how quickly they respond to all calls and emails, plus they have an excellent network of professionals (mortgage brokers, conveyancers etc) that they use and can recommend their clients. I would use Propertybuyer again and highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to buy property.
Amanda was extremely professional, helpful and efficient. Excellent communication and Amanda was so flexible with afterhours and weekend contact. Would definitely recommend Amanda for anyone looking in Melbourne!

Thank you so much for everything over the last 6 weeks. From our under valuations, wide scope Gladesville to Collaroy and general not knowing exactly what we wanted but wanting it all, you stayed calm and committed to helping us and we just want to say a massive thank you!
You sold us the dream and got for us too. ❤ Thank you from all of us the outcome is still sinking in ❤ Sarah
Rich Harvey and Propertybuyer keep winning awards because they continue to provide top quality expertise and service.

Glen and Lisa were a great help, viewing and vetting numerous properties for us and helping us get across the line with a great property within about 4 weeks of us starting our search. We will likely use them again soon for another property and would recommend them to our family and friends.

My experience with propertybuyer and their Brisbane team - Glen & Lisa was seamless and one that I will be recommending to friends and family many times over. I approached propertybuyer as a first time investor looking to get into the market and secure an investment-grade property but I didn't know where to start or how to begin the search especially investing interstate. Glen and Lisa was able to highlight a few key areas with sound reasonings behind each area. Once we settled on an area, they were quick to pass through many high quality properties from the countless inspections they performed every Saturday. Where Glen and Lisa's value shined through was when they avoided me paying too much on the first couple of offers that were made on a property. During COVID lockdowns, they was able to secure me a sought-after property off-market and our offer was accepted promptly through their seasoned negotiation skills. On top of the above, the knowledge I have come away with, and propertybuyer's ability to help you make a decision quickly is well worth the investment and I will be knocking on propertybuyers door again shortly when I am ready to find my next property investment. Couldn't recommend highly enough

Matt Corbett was fantastic and clearly made the difference for us. He listened to our needs and used his expertise to remove the stress and secure us our new family home. We greatly appreciate Matt’s wisdom and guidance throughout the process. He provided us with the confidence we needed and I do not believe we would have purchased our home without him.

We would highly recommend Property Buyer, Rich and his team were able to find us 2 investment properties in a short space of time that we would never have been able to find ourselves as they have contact with agents and off market opportunities that most people will miss. They are also able to negotiate with agents and get a better price than we would have on our own, so the cost is definitely worth it. Also worth it to ensure that we did not buy the wrong place that would cost us more in the long run. They operate with integrity as well which was very important to us. Rich was particularly good with helping us with our overall strategy.

Matt from Property Buyer was able to bring his extensive real estate expertise, local knowledge and professional networks to the table. In the end, Matt was able to secure us an outstanding off-market property in a very challenging market. The whole team at Property Buyer made the process from beginning to end easy to navigate. What you spend on their service, you save in the long run. We highly recommend utilising the Property Buyer Team!

I’ve worked with Rich Harvey in multiple occasions around the Forest area. I found his honest and transparent approach very easy to deal with. He communicated very thorough and regularly on behalf of his clients which impressed me a lot. During negotiation a purchase for one of his clients, Rich showed fantastic area knowledge to back his clients offer and negotiated a fair deal with myself. I would highly recommend Rich as your buyer agent.

Looking for a house to buy is an exhausting and frustrating process. We were looking for a while and getting quite desperate as our family is expanding and needing more space. We thought we could find something without any assistance but we ended up reaching our to Rich (whom we found through word of mouth from someone who was in the same boat as us) who was fantastic from the first meeting. He is super professional and extremely approachable which makes the whole process comfortable and easy. He helped us land our absolute dream home in the exact location we have been searching in, did all of the negotiating for us with the agent and we are so so so so happy!! We recommend Rich and his team 100%

We have had Rich Harvey and other members of his team buy properties from us on several occasions - they give clear communication, negotiate professionally and clearly and always bring offers in perfect format for presentation to our owners. We encourage buyers to use their services in order to secure a local property, as they are great at facilitating the deal. We send them all of our properties that are off-market, knowing they may have buyers to match to them.
Matt Corbett at Property Buyer was fantastic. There is no way we would of got the house without him. If you're thinking of buying a property, contact Matt @ Property Buyer. Cheers, Justin

We approached Rich on a trusted referral as we were trying to achieve what felt like the near impossible - upgrading street and suburb with three kids in tow. From the time we completed our brief we knew Rich just "got" us. He understood the challenges and was relentless in finding something not only within out budget but completely on brief. Throughout the whole process Rich's communication was brilliant and even through our panic he was a constant source of reason & wisdom. In the end our purchase exceeded our expectations which we can sincerely say would not have been possible without Rich. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rich and Property Buyers to anyone seeking a positive purchase experience.

We engaged Propertybuyer to help us purchase a property after experiencing disappointment at auction. Our initial hope was to secure a property off market although it soon became clear that there were few opportunities within our budget given the strength of the current market. Rich Harvey has great relationships with the real estate agents and was able to provide us with good advice about which properties were worth offering on and a realistic offer. We were very keen to purchase a property and if we had been viewing on our own we would have felt compelled to make an offer on properties which weren't really suitable just to get on the market. When we were starting to lose hope of finding something, Rich was always able to reassure us that the right property was out there for us. It turns out he was right and we have found a great property which we are excited to move into. Having someone else to manage the negotiations also made the process less stressful for us. Overall it was a positive experience working with Rich. He is professional, very responsive to queries and knowledgeable about the local property market. I would recommend Propertybuyer to anyone wishing to get on the market.

Matt Corbett @ Propertybuyer Buyer's Agents comes very highly recommended from us. We were advised to go with a buyer's agent the way the market is currently going in Sydney and Matt came very highly recommended. We were not disappointed; Matt was very professional, has a great knowledge of the north shore/northern beaches market and had many close contacts with vendor's agents across the beaches. Matt's strategy was key to us securing the house we did and it was also a lot of fun along the way. Would highly recommend!
Matt kept us well informed all the way through the process, and gave us invaluable advice on our purchase. I recommend Propertybuyer to anyone looking for guidance and expertise in buying a house.

The process with propertybuyer was stress free and quick! Stewart was prompt with all communication and sent through some properties that fitted my criteria straight away. I was able to purchase a property for 420k returning $590 per week. Propertybuyers took care of all of the paperwork and linked me up with a Conveyance which was a seamless process also. I will be purchasing again down the track and will have no hesitation in going through Stewart and the team and propertybuyers again.
Propertybuyer found me a great investment property without me having to do the work. I spent so much time previously trying to find the perfect place and it just consumed up so much time. I would like to thank Stewart...
Propertybuyer found me a great investment property without me having to do the work. I spent so much time previously trying to find the perfect place and it just consumed up so much time. I would like to thank Stewart as he was always contactable, returned calls/emails promptly, just a pleasure to deal with. I will definitely be using propertybuyer again in the future.

I have been involved in all forms of property for 50 years and have been intimately involved in building homes, working with incredibly talented architects, selling over 5000 apartments and homes in South Africa, Spain and Australia. With all that experience when it came to buying my own apartments I turned to an amazing professional Munro Donen. Over a 3 month period, he patiently guided me through many twists and turns. Never giving up when I changed weekly my budget and my preferences and my locations. Last week I found the perfect home and I was able to exchange in 24 hours even though 8 other contracts had been issued. A true professional that cares about his clients. A great outcome

I worked with Munro and his team at Property Buyers to purchase my first home in Australia. From our very first meeting Munro was by my side helping me navigate the complex buying process. We started with a property brief and soon we were in his car seeing properties to get a feel for what I wanted in the locations selected. I learned about the market and what I could buy within my budget. Munro knows EVERYONE. Most of the properties viewed hadn't even come to market. His relationships with agents gave him an edge knowing exactly what it would take to get the property off the market. He is honest and transparent. I cannot recommend Munro enough.
To put it very simply, Munro Donen is a Godsend. In my opinion, One of the best Buyers Advocates Money can buy in Sydney to help you secure your dream home. His professionalism, honesty and knowledge in Sydney's cut throat...

We had the most unbelievable experience using Paul to purchase our property. We live in Perth which was our biggest hurdle. From the second we signed up to use Paul he sent through heaps of property options, most of which were offline opportunities. He did virtual tours of the properties we liked and nothing was a hassle for him. It was amazing to see the options come through without having to leave your own home. Paul helped us find the perfect property which was within our budget. I will never go house hunting again without Paul assisting us. We saved so much time, aggravation and hassle. I would highly recommend Paul to anyone looking to buy a property

We struggled to navigate the property market on our own, missing out on a few properties while not really knowing what we were doing. In meeting Paul, we straight away felt confidence in our chances of finding something that fitted our brief. With regular contact, we were kept up to speed with the progress of the search and of the options that we had available through Paul's contacts. He made the search an enjoyable experience and was happy to work around our personal schedules. When the suitable property was found, everything was dealt with swiftly and professionally. The time saved to find the property within our budget was invaluable. Would recommend. Thanks for your help!

I was never sophisticated in property in my home state of Qld, let alone my new home state of NSW. We hesitated for a long time to get on the property ladder due to our lack of knowledge and fear of making a bad decision. We were so glad to have the knowledge shared by Munro and we felt safe and in good hands the entire time making our home buying experience a great one. In our minds this was going to be a 3 month process - minimum. We acknowledge that we're picky and know what we want. So it's a testament to Munro taking our brief and understanding what we were after that only after our second day of inspections we found a place that ticked all the boxes. From engagement with Munro to exchanging contracts was 2 weeks. Our heads were spinning with how fast it all happened but as time poor professionals we're so glad this wasn't a drain on us and in 4 weeks time we move into a place all our own. We're so happy and excited to start our next journey as homeowners.

Great experience. Would highly recommend. Interaction with every team member was professional, friendly and pleasant. Happy to have shared one of the biggest milestones in ones lifetime with the PropertyBuyer team!
As first time investors, securing the services of Amanda was probably the best move we made. We were made to feel comfortable right from the start and our advisor, Amanda was very personable as well as knowledgeable.
It's been such a pleasure dealing with Amanda throughout the whole negotiating process. As first home buyers who have finally found the right property, having her on our side proved to be invaluable.

Munro went above and beyond to help us find and secure the best property for us. We were quite inexperienced navigating the Sydney real estate market, and had inspected many properties with no luck.
When we were introduced to Munro, he immediately went to work reaching out to his vast industry contacts and ensuring that we were aligned on what exactly we were looking for. He worked passionately and efficiently with high attention to the details of what we wanted. He was happy to share his tips and explain to us what he looked for in a property, and he really took the time to get to know us and our lifestyle to help in the search.
Munro walked us through the entire process, adding value and helping us make informed decisions. His wealth of experience and connections enabled us to settle at a budget we were quite happy with and thought was a fantastic bargain for its value. Through the process Munro was also quite happy to jump on near daily calls with us and was very responsive to our needs and requirements; we're glad to call him a friend.
This experience with Munro was an absolute joy and we happily recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a property.

We were introduced to Munro through our Perth Real Estate agent. Being new to Sydney and its property market, we decided to engage the services of a Buyers Agent to help us to navigate our way to purchasing a new home.
Munro took the time to explain his services, to educate us about the current market trends and to familiarise us with suburbs that would be suitable for our needs. He spent time getting to know us and to understand our priorities. We found it easy to relate to him...
Sydney is a world class city with a multicultural population of almost 5 million people, a beautiful natural harbour, pristine beaches and was home to the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. We have assisted many international buyers purchase property in Sydney from their locations abroad.

CAN OVERSEAS BUYERS BUY PROPERTY IN AUSTRALIA?
IS PROPERTY A GOOD INVESTMENT IN AUSTRALIA?
Property investments in the major capital cities of Sydney and Melbourne typically double in value every 10 to 12 years.
Property investment in Australia is an excellent strategy, if the right location and property types are carefully selected.
Potential real estate and property investors need only look at the performance of median residential property prices in Sydney and Melbourne to see the significant returns that long term investors can make by buying well located property. Investors seeking advice on where to invest in real estate should choose their advisors carefully and ensure that any advice given is not tainted by commission driven sales people. Independent property investment help can be provided by buyers agents that are licenced in the relevant state you are buying and have a strong track record and at least 5 years experience
CAN A FOREIGNER INVEST IN AUSTRALIA?
To invest in Australian property you can buy either as an Australian citizen or as a foreign buyer. If you hold permanent residency (or are an Australian citizen) then you can buy established property. If you are classified as a foreign buyer, then you can only buy brand new property as regulated by the FIRB (Foreign Investment Review Board) guidelines.
The first step to considering where to invest in Australian real estate is to get your finance pre-approved. The next step is to consider which property investment strategy will work best for your individual situation (tax, income stage of life considerations etc). Then you need to consider which suburbs to target and it is recommended you engage with local real estate investment experts who can guide you.
HOW DO I FIND INTERNATIONAL REAL ESTATE BUYERS?
Choosing a local buyers agent to help you to buy real estate requires more than just looking at their fees. Search for truly independent buyers agents that have a strong reputation, more than 5 years experience, and are licenced in the state you are purchasing. Look at the quality of their testimonials and ensure they have deep connections with local sales agents to find off market opportunities. Seek our buyers agents that have strong experience with foreign buyers and expats for buyers of Australian property.
