Established in 2001, Propertybuyer employs a team of highly qualified buyers’ advocates covering Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Newcastle Central Coast and other high return locations.
Our purpose is to help home buyers, investors and commercial buyers find the right property, at the right price every time and to be recognised as Australia’s leading Buyers’ Agency.
Our mission is to exclusively represent the interests of property buyers by providing an efficient search, totally independent advice and taking a firm but friendly approach to negotiating the lowest possible price for our clients.
Our goal for every client is to find the ideal property faster and make the buying process less stressful and more satisfying!
Propertybuyer is the most awarded Buyers’ Agency in Australia with over 47 meaningful awards including the prestigious National Telstra Business Award, REB Industry Thought Leader and the Real Estate Institute of NSW Award for Excellence. We have an impressive record of success having secured over 4,000 properties for our clients.
We never sell property, so we are truly independent. We are not paid by selling agents or developers, so avoid conflicts of interest. This means we devote ourselves wholly to the best interests of our clients
CEO & Founder Rich Harvey established the company in 2001 to ensure that buyers were fully represented in the purchasing process. Vendors have traditionally been represented by selling agents, while buyers were left to fend for themselves.
We believe buyers should have even greater support and professional advice when buying property because it is usually the most expensive purchase made in their lifetime.
Rich Harvey served as President of the Real Estate Buyers Agent Association of Australia (REBAA) for four years (2015-2019). This is the peak body representing Buyers' Agents. Rich also served as the Chairman of the Buyers Agent Chapter of the REINSW for 10 years, volunteering his time to improve ethics and professional standards in the industry.
Propertybuyer employs a team of highly qualified buyers’ agents specialising in various geographic regions and markets. Our buyers’ agents are fully licensed and possess a unique blend of professional experience, specialist skill and personality that reflect our company values.

Propertybuyer is a proud supporter of several charities. A proportion of all fees go towards supporting our selected charities.
CELEBRATING 9 YEARS OF PARTICIPATION
"I joined business and community leaders from around Australia to take part in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout, raising awareness and vital funds to support services for the thousands of men, women and children experiencing homelessness across the country. It will be cold and I will be taking my beanie!
I feel a personal obligation to help those that are doing it tough and would greatly appreciate your support."
Each year of participation, Rich joins over a thousand business leaders across Australia raising awareness of homelessness at the Vinnies CEO Sleepouts.
"As I’m in the business of helping put a roof over peoples’ heads, it’s a privilege to help Vinnies with a great cause to raise money for those on the street. Anyone can end up on the street due a series of unfortunate circumstances.
Each year I attend I am amazed at the stories of ordinary people that suddenly find themselves on the street from a series of tragic or unfortunate events that are no fault of their own."
All money raised goes towards helping the estimated 105,000 men, women and children experiencing homelessness in Australia. These funds will help them find the warmth, safety and dignity that they desperately deserve.
We completed a 28km walk for to help raise money for The Children’s Cancer Centre at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead. We did it in about 6.5 hours and although our legs and feet were feeling very sore after it was very worth it.
In 2015, I walked 30 kilometres to help raise money for The Children’s Cancer Centre at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead.
Each year in NSW approximately 250 new children are diagnosed with cancer. The Children’s Hospital at Westmead is responsible for the care of between 120 and 150 of these new patients and their families. Since 1976 more than 3,000 children have received treatment for cancer at The Children’s Hospital and more than 2,200 of these patients are long-term survivors.
I travelled to Manado (North Sulawesi, East Indonesia) for 10 days with a group of people to support a Christian micro enterprise development organisation called Bridge of Hope.
Bridge of Hope provides small loans of between $100 to $200 to assist family businesses in growing their business and escape the poverty cycle. It was so hot and humid there you feel like you were operating at half speed. We presented some leadership training to the staff on time management, communication and effective listening skills and also ran a staff retreat which they thoroughly enjoyed.
We visited some of the villages where the family businesses reside. I was struck by how simple their lifestyle is, yet they have such a positive outlook on life. They are mostly simple food based and product-based businesses with little diversification. Yet the small loan makes such a difference – they are able to triple or quadruple their production and therefore make more profit to expand their business capital. This in turn enables them to be more self-reliant and provide more for their extended families.
One of the highlights of the trip was visiting an Orphanage near Lokon (an active volcano area). In the photo I’m the one in the red shirt at the back of the crowd. The orphanage is run by a delightful couple that look after 132 kids aged from 4 to 16. Many had tragic stories, but we had a ball with them playing games, singing and hanging out together. Some of them asked me if they could call me “Daddy.”
Another sad but insightful point of the trip was visiting the local rubbish dump at Somompo. We spent time with some of the kids that pick over the dump for recycled material. Bridge of Hope have built a small education centre to help educate some of the kids there that would otherwise not get to school because their parents insist they work the dump.
My wife and two boys really enjoyed the trip and it gave them a new perspective on just how privileged we are to live in Australia. On the funny side my youngest son Sam was very popular as he was often mistaken for Justin Bieber as he had a similar haircut and looks!
