I have been looking at property far and wide across Sydney for the last few years.. I approached Property Buyer and ended up connecting with Nick Taylor-Fick who was brilliant. Helpful, chatty and the whole process really helped me zero in on a few areas and stop spinning on the spot.. in less than 2 weeks and after only 3 inspections I have bought my first place in Sydney after years of saving. I paid roughly $10,000 which translated to brief, research, viewings, negotiations, pre purchase inspection as I was going to be overseas at the time
For me meeting Nick really was a brilliant experience

Rich Harvey from Propertybuyer Buyers' Agent recently assisted us in finding and negotiating to buy a new home in our downsizing exercise. We found Rich to be very professional and responsive at all times. He provided excellent feedback and advice in a very timely manner which took a great deal of the stress out of the whole process for my wife and I . We believe it to be a cost effective exercise and would recommend Rich to those that are looking at using his firms services.

Munro made a typically stress-induced process a breeze. He was always proactive and helpful with communication. Within a week, we were well acquainted and he was able to narrow down our options according to the brief. Its bittersweet having Munro find a property for us so quickly and not having him for longer hes become a great friend throughout the process.

We engaged Propertybuyer to help us secure our home. We had identified 2 properties we liked and wanted to make offers on. Both were open to offers prior to auction. However this can often be very difficult to navigate. Stewart did an amazing job And was quick to get into action. He helped us successful the property prior to auction and less than a week from engaging him. In the current hot market, a buyers agent on your side makes a huge difference and definitely gave us the winning edge in the negotiations. Would highly recommend Stewart Fraser.

Having recently completed my first commercial property purchase using a buyers agent, I believe that I received tremendous value in having Alberto Da Grava assist in locating the property and dealing with the vendor. I would thoroughly recommend Alberto and his team.

When our company decided to buy a new property for our Super Fund to a particular specification and location we inquired of the services of 3 property buyers. After receiving a proposal from all 3 we were particularly impressed by the offer received from Propertybuyers. After further discussion and conversations with Alberto Da Grava we were very impressed and chose to go with Propertybuyers.
Alberto helped us find and buy a property within 2 months that met our brief. We chose to engage a property buying agent to take some of the time and stress off ourselves, and they not only did that, but

I highly recommend Property Buyers Agents Sydney for anyone who is looking to buy their next dream property. Our buyers agent Nick is efficient, professional and truly amazing at what he does. Nick is highly knowledgeable given his background as a property valuer, he was accommodating and listened to all our feedback despite us changing the brief multiple times. He provided us with excellent advice from start to finish. He was able to get everything ready for auction with less than 48 hours to go. He ended up winning us our very first Sydney home with his excellent bidding skills. I would definitely
