"Rich was on the ball all the time, he had off-market properties we didn’t have access to and took the hard work out of the process. We had a pretty tight brief and we probably wouldn’t have been able to find the house on our own. We couldn’t fault the experience, or fault working with Rich and would recommend using him to anyone." - Sarah & Jeff | Northern Beaches

Buying a house is a big deal. Not only is it likely to be the biggest and most significant investment of your life, but it’s also the home where you are going to live happily and, perhaps, raise a family.
It’s an anxious time, for first-time home buyers, as well as those who have a few property purchases under their belt.
Help is at hand, however, as our expert property buyers’ agents have extensive knowledge of the real estate market in NSW, VIC, and QLD, especially in the prime residential suburbs of Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane.
Our buyers’ agents will see you safely through all of the scenarios above, and then some. We provide a completely impartial and unbiased home buying service. We don’t have a hidden agenda or vested interest in any of the houses or apartments we show you.
Instead of providing you with only a small selection of homes for sale from only one or two suburbs in either Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne, we scour all of the houses in the areas that meet your criteria. Ordinarily, this would take a tremendous amount of time, but our buyers’ agents are so knowledgeable that they already have a lot of the information necessary, such as sales prices in specific suburbs and market trends that influence where and when you should consider buying a home.
e relieve the stress that home buyers feel when looking for a new house or apartment. Forget about months spent trawling the internet, weekends driving to inspections, and nights calling agents, only to feel like your perfect home is further away than ever.
Whether you’re a first-time home buyer who has just started your journey towards buying a house, or you’re further along the process and have recently missed out at auction, or you have temporarily paused your search out of frustration or time constraints, don’t worry. This is the reason we exist.

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 met Munro Donen at a number of my open for inspections and recently sold a property to one of his clients.

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...

We charge a fixed (flat) fee that applies for each price band (please ask us for a specific quote). Our fixed fees for the full search service are between 1.5% to 2.0% including GST of purchase price.
If you’d like a specific quote for your circumstances, please complete our property brief.
We have a range of service options to suit your budget.
We apply a fixed fee because we don’t want any perception of bias in the way we negotiate for clients. An initial retainer fee from $2000 to $5000 is payable upfront, then a success fee is payable once the property is secured (unconditionally exchanged).
Using a buyers’ agent gives you, as a first-time home buyer or an old hand at real estate investment, access to off-market properties, local knowledge, and accurate appraisal and data, saves you huge amounts of time and you get a professional negotiator on your side.
We can also recommend reputable property managers should you be buying a home for investment purposes. Property management services include carrying out inspections required by property law in Australia and admin, including payment of expenses.
Professional property management services are especially important if this is your first time buying a home with rental income in mind. This is largely due to property managers’ knowledge of relevant state law, as property laws vary from state to state. For instance, property inspection requirements in Sydney may differ from those in Melbourne.
Poor advice at any stage of the purchase process can cost you, as a first-time home buyer, dearly.
Good advice, on the other hand, will save you money when buying your first home, and will make you money if you’re buying your first home as a profit-generating investment.
WHAT AM I GETTING FOR MY MONEY THAT I CANNOT ACHIEVE MYSELF?
WILL A BUYERS’ AGENT LISTEN TO MY NEEDS?
HOW WILL I KNOW YOU REALLY UNDERSTAND MY REQUIREMENTS?
(HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY KNOW WHAT I WANT?)
WILL YOU OVERLOOK PROPERTIES THAT MAY HAVE BEEN OF INTEREST TO ME?
CAN YOU FIND ME OFF-MARKET PROPERTIES?
CAN YOU GUARANTEE THAT I WILL HAVE FOUND AND BOUGHT A HOME AT THE END OF THE PROCESS?
We have successfully purchased homes for more than 98% of our clients. Those not proceeding usually comprise of people who have had change to their personal circumstances and are no longer looking to buy a house.
Propertybuyer is currently the most awarded Buyers Agency in Australia, and this public scrutiny is an unbiased testament to our integrity, value and quality of service. We guarantee not to waste your valuable time by sourcing inappropriate properties. We will deflect all the stress and detail and save you months of endless searching. We will spend time with you up front so that we clearly understand your needs and will target the search based on your preferences.
With our help, you will save time, money and stress in the purchase of your next home. You will also gain access to more properties, be better informed about comparable sales and understand the true value of each property. When you decide on the right property, we will negotiate for you so you will be able to make a rational decision about price without the stress and pressure of dealing with real estate agents or having to negotiate.
WHAT IS THE PROCESS AND HOW LONG WILL BUYING A HOUSE TAKE?
First of all we like to sit down and just listen to your preferences. This way we can fully understand your needs.
Following this, our services are explained and we can answer any questions you may have. Once you are comfortable to proceed, you sign an agreement and an engagement fee is paid. We then further discuss your “buyers brief” and then the property search begins.
We conduct thorough research and then present you with a shortlist of the homes and properties which might be of interest to you. If you wish to pursue any of the chosen properties, we then conduct a full appraisal of the property and negotiate on your behalf. The decision to buy the house is then yours. We are committed to finding you the right home, no matter how long it takes, but in our experience the entire process usually takes between 3 to 6 weeks.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BUYERS’ AGENT AND A SELLING AGENT?
DO BUYERS’ AGENTS ASSIST OR GET PAID BY THE SELLER?
HOW WILL I KNOW WHAT THE PROPERTY IS WORTH?
We conduct extensive due diligence for our clients on recent sales and have access to a comprehensive database of all past sales. We inspect each home for sale and discuss the positives and negatives of each shortlisted property.
We are also aware of recent sales and ongoing negotiations in the Sydney real estate market and properties in the area.
Using this information, together with our own expert opinion on the state of the market provides our clients with the assurance they are not overpaying. In fact, our clients usually find they are buying at a price below market and comparable values.
