Welcome to Brisbane, the bustling capital city of Queensland, Australia. Nestled alongside the winding Brisbane River, this vibrant city boasts a unique blend of modern and traditional Australian culture, with an endless array of activities to suit every taste.
Finding the ideal property in Brisbane or Gold Coast can be an overwhelming and time-consuming task. With our expert Brisbane Buyers Agent, we make the buying process less stressful and more satisfying. Brisbane is seeing a strong influx of interstate migrants and one of Australia’s fastest growing cities with an extensive range of quality suburbs.
From top end suburbs of Teneriffe, New Farm or Ascot to the mid-tier areas of Clayfield, Everton Park or Holland Park, the outskirts of Redland Bay or Scarborough or Beenleigh or anywhere on the Gold Coast – our Brisbane Buyers Agents have it covered!
Getting the best local advice and expertise from a Brisbane Buyers agent on your side makes perfect sense to avoid making buying mistakes. Our Brisbane and Gold Coast buyers advocates will help you uncover off market opportunities that you'd never discover on your own.
Securing your next home or investment property in Brisbane requires strong and established connections to get ahead of other buyers. Our Brisbane buyers agent will help you uncover the ideal suburbs and property types to suit your individual requirements and they generously share their local knowledge.
Brisbane’s property market is booming, with detached family-sized properties leading the way.
One reason is the city’s significant investment in infrastructure, which encourages locals to buy rather than rent, and which attracts interstate migrants. Property in Brisbane is also more affordable than in other major cities, the lifestyle is more relaxed, and when COVID was barrelling through the country, Brisbane and Queensland in general, were considered safe.
Young buyers are vying with older retirees to become the dominant demographic, and they’re chasing ‘lifestyle’ areas. These are neighbourhoods that have it all; parks and recreation, shops, school catchment zones, and transport links to the CBD for commuters.
The best areas to invest in Brisbane are near the CBD, with the ideal distance being 5 – 7km. Properties that tick all the boxes tend to be in the inner ring suburbs where gentrification is taking place. Middle ring suburbs are between five and 12km from the CBD, and are also in high demand.
Houses are in much higher demand among property investors in Brisbane than apartments and, again, this has to do with a healthy, low-risk family-friendly lifestyle. Families want space and apartments simply don’t have enough of it.
Brisbane’s sub-tropical climate lends itself to healthy outdoor activities throughout the year. Dining options are numerous and diverse and there are many cultural activities (museums and art galleries) and entertainment opportunities (theatre, cinema, live music, and performance areas for independent artists and entertainers) that cater to all tastes and styles.
Once you have decided to buy property in Brisbane, make sure you engage an experienced buyer’s agent and visit the properties that grab your attention. Never buy a property sight unseen. Even if you have absolute trust in your buyer’s agent, you need to see the house, walk through the house, take in the garden, and check out the neighbourhood before you commit. Your agent might miss little things that are important to you or overlook issues that are your deal breakers.
Always remember: Buyers' agents are there to help you; use them.

Speak to Glen"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."

She made my whole move seamless and easy. The way she communicates with people in my opinion is exceptional and would be having a beneficial effect on living experiences. Since I moved in over a month ago I couldn’t help but reflect on how positive my experience so far living here has been and the impact this is currently having on my life. I’ve noticed the system in place to accommodate residents is nothing short of excellent, I notice this right through from the cleaners to the security and beyond. It’s made me view where I live not just as a place, but as a complete experience. I’m truly grateful to be living amongst this great community. Thank you for all your continued efforts."

You will have the benefit of our extensive research and analysis into past sales and comparable market data and will be protected from paying too much. You may also gain access to properties not yet advertised, otherwise known as “silent listings”.

A buyers’ agent can save you a packet of money if they are experienced, knowledgeable and have your best interests at heart. They can take the emotion out of the negotiation and auction process and give you accurate advice on property values. They should have an extensive database of agent contacts to help you find off-market properties.
How Do I find A Buyers’ Agent?
Apart from searching online, ask a local selling agent if they have seen a good buyers agent in action. You can also ask family, friends and work colleagues about their experience with using buyers agents.
An important question to ask a buyers agent is whether they are truly “exclusive” or “independent”. If they accept sales commission from vendors or developers then they cannot be classified as “independent” as they are acting in the interests of the seller. Only deal with a licensed buyers agent (you can check license via the Office of Fair Trading in each state) and one that is a recognised member of your state Real Estate Institute and the Real Estate Buyers Agents Association of Australia.
There are seven factors to consider when selecting a good buyers agent.
Is it affordable to use a buyers’ agent?
Are buyers’ agents fees tax deductible?
Do you offer any guarantees with your service?
