Sydney has been voted as one of the most liveable cities in the world. With a growing multi-cultural population of over 5.3 million people, we are blessed with a range of features that make our property market highly sought after by local and international buyers. Some of the key reasons why buyers choose to buy Sydney real estate include

  • A diverse range of modern and classic housing styles with some of the best real estate in the world. 
  • Excellent lifestyle benefits – famous surfing beaches (Bondi, Manly) 
  • A beautiful harbour, restaurants, entertainment and sporting facilities and fabulous natural landmarks. 
  • Resilient, stable, and growing economy

Sydney is a world class city with a beautiful natural harbour, pristine beaches and was home to the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. Purchasing a property in the Sydney real estate market is a wise decision that will provide substantial capital gains over the long term. Sydney house prices have traditionally doubled in value every 7-10 years over the last 100 years. Our Sydney Buyers' Agents can help you purchase your dream house in Australia and help you navigate the dynamic property market in Sydney for a home or investment property


Population growth will continue to put positive upward pressure on Sydney house prices and demographic forecasts tip that Sydney will reach 8 million people by 2050 made up by overseas migration and natural increase. Buying and investing in Sydney real estate is an incredibly wise decision and has made many millionaires in the process. 

As a major international city and financial hub, Sydney provides an extraordinarily strong economy and job creation centre which in turn provides the stimulus for an active property market. Major transport infrastructure projects such as the second Sydney Airport at Badgery’s Creek, the Northwest heavy rail link, CBD light rail and many road projects will provide a positive impact on the property market by reducing travel times and congestion. 
The three critical drivers of property price growth – Population, Jobs and Infrastructure are found in abundance in the Sydney property market and provide a solid platform for home ownership and investment for the long term.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who are the best buyers’ agents in Sydney?

Propertybuyer is THE Most Awarded Buyers' Agent in Sydney and Australia. We were one of the first buyers’ agents in the industry and commenced operations in 2001. With 40 Awards for Excellence, we have been independently judged to be the best buyers’ agents in Sydney. We consistently win awards due to our high level of professionalism, experience, staff training, and outstanding results for clients. We are Sydney’s best buyers’ advocates because we take time to understand our clients’ needs, show care and empathy, provide a tailored service for each individual buyer and consistently exceed client expectations.

What are the fees?

We offer a FIXED FEE for our buyers’ advocacy services.  Providing a fixed fee avoids the perception of bias around negotiating the best outcome – we simply want to save you (the buyer) the most amount of money and yet beat other buyers in the race to purchase a property.

The fees for our three main service options are:

  1. Full search: Fees are set at between 1.5% to 2.0% +GST of purchase price including an engagement fee ranging from $3,000 to $5,000.
    For example: 

    A full search service for a property up to $600,000 attracts an engagement fee of $3,000 and purchase fee of $8,900 (total fee $11,900 inc GST).  ie circa 2%.

    A full search service for a property in the range $1.75m to $2.0m attracts an engagement fee of $5000 and purchase fee of $24,900 (total fee $29,900 inc GST).  ie circa 1.5%.

  2. Appraisal & Negotiation only: Our highly trained team are expert negotiators and advocate for your success exclusively and independently when dealing with sales agents. Our fees are an investment to ensure you get accurate advice on current market value and helps you avoid overpaying.

How long does it typically take to find a property?

In our experience, working with a buyers’ advocate from Propertybuyer, it typically takes around 30 to 60 days to find the right property. Our buyers’ agency agreement has an initial six month term - and can be extended if required, but we are very efficient and proactive at finding the ideal property. Our team of buyers’ agents have a vast network of selling agents and private contacts to identify the perfect property to suit your individual brief.

How do you appraise property?

We spend significant time researching the local property market to determine the value of a subject property using the comparable sales method. Using the same valuation principles as a registered valuer, our team of buyers’ agents collate the most recent sales evidence and compare this with the subject property and provide a detailed appraisal report to our clients providing commentary on a range of factors to determine the current market value. Each factor is considered Superior, Inferior or Comparable to the subject property. We do not rely on automated valuation methods that are available freely online - as these provide quite misleading advice to consumers, because the data set does not consider all market factors, recent renovations, rebuilds, overshadowing, easements, caveats and a host of other factors.

Can you bid at auction for me?

YES – Absolutely.  We would be delighted to represent you at auction!  We know the tricks of the trade, how auctioneers run the auction process, how agents get inside your ear to make you overpay and make an emotional decision - and we protect you from all of this and take away the stress of auction day. Our buyers’ agents agents are highly trained in auction bidding techniques and strategies to help you win on auction day.

Do you help buyers based overseas and expats?

YES. We regularly assist overseas buyers and expats in locating their next home or investment property (or commercial property). We act as your eyes and ears on the ground in searching for the ideal property to suit your needs. Given the time differences for overseas clients, we provide many afterhours services and discussions to keep you fully in the loop with the search process and all negotiations. We take extra photos and videos to show you all the angles of the property that are typically not provided by the online advertisers. We take extra precautions to protect you from buying the wrong property and provide you with sound and accurate advice to make sure you're paying fair market value.

Which Sydney suburbs do you service?

We service the entire Sydney basin and every suburb in Sydney and the surrounds.  We have a large team of buyers’ agents located right across Sydney who act as your local expert in the area you want to buy. If you're not sure which is the right suburb for you - then just ask and will gladly point you in the right direction and help get your search on track. We cover The Eastern Suburbs, Northern Beaches, Upper and Lower North Shore, Inner West, CBD, Northern Suburbs, Hills District, Sutherland Shire, South West Sydney, North West, Western Sydney, Hawkesbury, Wollongong/ Illawarra, Central Coast, Southern Highlands, Newcastle and more…
