Investors
Sydney has long been an investors’ darling, offering high returns over the long-term. But it’s not an easy place to invest in real estate, with a high barrier to entry in terms of cost, and competition for the best properties from local, interstate and international buyers. We give you an edge by giving you access to serious research clout and a huge network of sellers. We handle all aspects of the purchase process, from negotiation to property management advice, ensuring your investment strategy is executed effectively and delivers results for you.
Private buyers
Whether you’re a first-home buyer or looking to upgrade to a new family home, we support you through every step of the buying journey. We take the time to understand your needs and preferences, helping you find properties in your preferred Sydney location that align with your goals. We negotiate the best possible price and ensure you have all the information needed to make informed decisions. For first-home buyers, we offer additional assistance, including advice on government grants and other concessions available in New South Wales.
Overseas & interstate buyers
Sydney is incredibly popular with overseas buyers, and a Sydney property is often the jewel in the crown of an international property portfolio. We’ll help you maximise your budget and make sure you’re searching in the right parts of Sydney. We’ll also attend inspections and auctions on your behalf, and debrief you at every step at a convenient local time for you. We’ll be your eyes, ears and your trusted representative in Sydney. If you’re purchasing from outside New South Wales, we act as your local representative in Sydney. We provide detailed reports on suburbs and properties, conduct inspections on your behalf, and keep you updated throughout the process. Our local expertise ensures you find the perfect Sydney property without the need to be physically present for every stage of the purchase.
How to choose the best buyer’s agent in Sydney
Look for in-depth Sydney property market knowledge
Choose a buyer's advocate who knows Sydney intimately, particularly the specific areas you're interested in. For example, a local expert in Sydney's southern suburbs will be more effective at finding properties that meet your criteria in that area and will be able to provide more valuable insights than an agent with less specialised knowledge.
They should have experience & a good track record
Look for a buying agent with a demonstrated history of successful transactions in the Sydney market. Typically, this will be someone who has been engaged in the Sydney real estate industry for years and who knows the market dynamics, emerging trends, and investment opportunities.
Check Sydney buyer's agent reviews
Check the buyer’s agent reputation by looking at testimonials and customer reviews. You can do this via a quick Google search. You could also check Facebook property groups in Sydney for any mentions of their name and business. Consistent positive feedback is a strong indicator of reliable and professional service. Alternatively, you could seek recommendations from friends, family, or colleagues who have used a buyer’s agent in Sydney.
They should be transparent about how (and how much) they get paid
Your agent should be transparent about their commission/fees and clarify if they’re receiving another incentive or kickback from the sale of a property (e.g. a commission from a developer). If they accept sales commissions from vendors or developers, they cannot be classified as 'independent', according to the Real Estate Buyers Agents Association of Australia (REBAA).
How to use a buyer’s agent in Sydney: Step-by-step
Initial consultation: This can happen in person, but is often completed online. Your buyer’s agent will ask questions to get an understanding of what you need and will explain their process.
Agent research: Our team of expert buyer’s agents will conduct research into potential purchase options and reach out to our extensive network of sellers to find off-market opportunities.
We present our findings: Depending on where in the buyer’s journey you’re at, we’ll either present properties in Sydney that match your needs, or offer a higher-level overview of suburbs and property types for consideration.
Purchase negotiation: Once we’ve found the ideal property, we’ll negotiate the purchase. That could involve an off-market or pre-auction negotiation with the vendor, or bidding for you at auction.
Due diligence and settlement: With your purchase secured, we’ll coordinate remaining due diligence on the property and ensure the process runs smoothly all the way through to settlement.

More info about using a Sydney buyer’s agent
How much does a buyer’s agent cost in Sydney?
According to the REBAA, the industry average fee for Sydney-based buyer's agents can range between 2-3% of the property's purchase price (+ GST). Most buyer's agents also charge a fixed engagement fee (also called a retainer).
Buyer's agent fees will depend on the agent's demand and experience level. Naturally, established buyer's agents with proven results in Sydney's real estate market will be in higher demand and may charge more for their service.
If you're a property investor, you may be able to claim buyer’s agent fees as part of the cost base (a capital expense you incur when buying an asset) to reduce your capital gains tax (CGT) payable when you sell the property, according to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
How can you access off-market properties in Sydney?
Buyers Agent leverages its network of real estate agents in Sydney to secure off-market properties for clients. It’s often mutually beneficial for Sydney buyers and sellers to complete property transactions off-market as it can mean a faster sale, with lower costs (advertising, auctioneer fees etc.). However, without the inside access a buyer’s agent can offer, finding off-market properties in Sydney is difficult.
How long does it take a buyer’s agent to find me a property?
Every client brief will be slightly different, with some being more straightforward than others. If the buyer has finance pre-approval, the entire process can take 2-3 months. Naturally, the process will be quicker for cash buyers. It may take longer in other cases or if other factors are at play (for example, the buyer needs to sell their property first).
What qualifications do Sydney buyer’s agents need?
There are no formal qualification requirements for buyer’s agents in Sydney. However, according to the Buyer’s Agent Institute, buyer’s agents in New South Wales should have completed at least five core modules of Certificate IV in Real Estate Practice (CPP41419), in addition to having a Real Estate Licence (issued by the Office of Fair Trading).
To operate your own business as a buyer’s agent in Sydney, you must complete a Diploma of Property (Agency Management) (CPP51122).
