Thomas was incredibly professional and helpful along the whole journey and made the experience very enjoyable. Ruby Herrera2025-03-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Marcus Kosmin, Paddy Ferguson and Doron Stein as my buyer’s team in the Eastern Suburbs. They really know the area and were great at spotting opportunities that we wouldn't have found on our own. They made the whole process smooth and stress-free, always keeping us in the loop and answering all our questions. Marcus’ negotiation skills were top-notch, and we felt like he truly had our best interests at heart. I’m so happy with the property we found, and I couldn’t recommend this team more! Definitely will be working with them again. Sean Murphy2025-03-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Marcus and his killer team Doron and Paddy were an absolute delight to work with. They were incredibly knowledgeable and helped us with every step. I’d never buy a property without them. Thank you so much Marcus you made a dream come true for us. Danielle Miller2025-03-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Aaron made buying our dream home easy and stress-free. He was always available to support us and it was great working with someone young and energetic who truly understands the market and knows how to win in it. Highly recommend! R Wilson2025-03-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Aaron helped our daughter find a home that perfectly suited her needs, so she recommended him to us when we moved to Sydney. We didn’t know the Sydney market at all, and Aaron was very knowledgeable not only about suburbs and streets, but even individual buildings! He gave us advice and was always approachable and very quick to respond. He was able to find us a place off-market that suits us very well. Throughout the process he was calm and lovely. We were very happy to have him on our side and we highly recommend him. monica aggarwal2025-03-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sitora and Simon were the perfect team to land us a uniquely sourced property, within our top area of choice within our suburb of choice. Sitora was incredibly personable, worked tirelessly and listened closely to our brief, so we could focus on inspecting only by exception. Equally Simon played a critical role in negotiations and providing his expert advice at key moments in our search. Having met with most other credible Sydney buyers agents beforehand- we would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone and will certainly work together again in the future. Thanks again Sitora and Simon for helping us find our next home ! Ben Fr2025-03-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would like to thank Aaron Stern from Cohen Handler (Sydney office) for his service in finding me an investment property. Whilst I had no timeline, Aaron was able to find, negotiate and secure a property within 13 days after I received finance pre-approval. Aaron sought to spend time with me to understand what I was looking for and my needs. The property was off-market and a great investment property (strong yields, under-market price and value-add potential). Throughout the process, Aaron remained professional, knowledgable and helpful. He has been able to provide referrals for very credible third parties as needed. I will be using him for the next one. Ryan Scheftz2025-02-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience working with Marcus and Paddy as my buyers’ agents. As a first-time homebuyer, their guidance and expertise were invaluable in helping me find the perfect home. They answered all my questions, provided insightful market knowledge, and gave me the confidence to make the right decision. Their support throughout the transaction process was instrumental in ensuring a smooth and successful purchase. I truly appreciate their professionalism and look forward to working with them again in the future! Arabella Antico2025-02-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Their knowledge, commitment, and keen attention to detail were outstanding. We highly recommend them and look forward to working with them again in the future! kristina macourt2025-02-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tom and Tara were great to work with and gave me a great result. Will work with them again anytime!
A buyers advocate or buyers agent offers various types of services such as:
Searching and gathering properties that meet your criteria and then negotiating the purchase of that chosen property (whether by auction or private sale.) Depending on your needs, a buyer’s agent may search for one particular property or an entire portfolio, or they can negotiate a better price for you by compiling insights via due diligence and conducting building and pest reports on your chosen property and then developing a negotiation strategy, or they can bid for you at the auction of a property you may have found.
One of the easiest ways to access an off-market property in Melbourne is through a buyer’s agent who’s highly experience and connected with both sales agents and people looking to sell off-market.
An off-market property is a home that has yet to be advertised to the public on a listings portal such as Realestate.com or Domain.com. In Melbourne approximately half of all deals are done off-market, pre-market or post-market.
People look to sell their property off-market for various reasons but property buyers agents and advocates who maintain a database of off-market opportunities are your most effective way to gain access.
There are few surer ways of making money than investing in real estate. You can potentially strengthen your financial position and generate wealth, but it also means you’ll have a product that will be in demand as long as people need a place to rest their heads. But how do you choose your first investment property? There are a few things you’ll need to bear in mind.
Buyers agents and Buyers advocates are licensed and regulated real estate professionals who act on behalf of the property buyer. Their purpose is to research, find and negotiate a perfect property for their client.
This is as opposed to a real estate agent who has a contract with the seller and therefore has their best interests at heart. A buyer’s agent will always negotiate in favour of you, their client.
How do you know when you’re getting what you want and what you’re paying for regarding buyer’s agents and their fees?
Or if you’re not? For a full-service offering buyers agents will charge a success-based fee based on a percentage of a property, but for other services may charge a flat fee.
We’re absolutely more than capable of assisting buyers who are relocating to Melbourne or returning from years overseas, or looking to invest in the Melbourne property market.
Our Melbourne Buyer’s Advocates are timezone aware and can accomodate to interstate and international buyers. They take great care in keeping their clients informed every step of the way, provide the latest market insights and opportunities
