Our licensed real estate buyers' agents will work from your property brief to search for real estate in Freshwater to meet your requirements.
Our Award-Winning buyers' agents can help you secure the following:Freshwater is located on the Northern Beaches, 13 kilometres north-east of Sydney’s CBD. It is part of the Warringah local government area. Until 2008, Freshwater was formally known as Harbord. Buses are the primary form of public transport for the suburb however some residents also choose to utilise the scenic Manly ferry to Circular Quay or the fast ferry that travels to Darling Harbour, Pyrmont Bay, Kirribilli and Watsons Bay as well as Circular Quay. The E36 express bus travels from North Curl Curl via Freshwater to Manly Wharf in the morning peak hour and connects with ferry services departing for circular quay (and vice versa in the afternoon).
The dwelling types in Freshwater are evenly split between apartments and houses. The majority of homes and apartment complexes were built post war and have experienced a rapid change in the last ten years, as there has been a large influx of young couples and families choosing to either renovate older properties or knock them down and rebuild. There are also a number of new apartment complexes which have been constructed within the last few years as developers had also taken advantage of the lower price point for land. Walking around the streets now there is a variety of architecturally designed homes and apartment blocks, renovated Californian bungalows and original red brick homes.
Freshwater Village offers a wide choice of cafe’s and restaurants. From, casual dining of a variety of cuisines to fine dining at Pilu (awarded 2 chef hats). There is also the local Harbord Beach Hotel (“The Hilton”) situated 100m from the beach, that has an award winning bistro and also is a venue for entertainment. The Harbord Diggers Club, which has views up and down the Northern Beaches (as far as the eye can see), also is an entertainment venue and includes a bistro and sports bar.
There are two Primary Schools in Freshwater; Harbord Public School which has a strong involvement with the community and also St John Baptist Catholic Primary School, both are for year’s kindergarten to 6. There is a wide choice of high schools in neighbouring suburbs from public to private and also the Freshwater Senior Campus for Years 11 to 12 (including on-site course provision through TAFE).
Due to the beach lifestyle, outdoor activities are very popular such as walking and running along the purpose built coastal walks, cycling, soccer, cricket and much more. Personal Training is quite popular and there is also a gym at the Freshwater Fitness which takes in the panorama of the beaches whilst you run on the treadmill (great for whale watching)!
Freshwater has a unique beach lifestyle where you feel you are away from it all yet only a short distance from the city. Everything is in close walking distance from Freshwater, such as Manly, the beaches and harbour and local shopping centres. Freshwater beach often gets voted as the best family beach as it is safe and has picturesque aqua water. The incredible ocean views up north and down south to the Manly St Patricks Church on the headland are breathtaking. Freshwater is incredibly attractive to families, investors and young professionals.

Speak to Matt"It paid off for us. I thought Matt was fantastic, I was very impressed with his skills and also with his network.

Why do I need a buyers’ agent?
You will save yourself money, time and stress when you engage a professional buyers’ agent to help you with your next investment property purchase. You will be empowered with the knowledge you need to make an informed decision about the value of a property without all of the sales “hype” often associated with property purchases – we protect you from making an emotional decision. 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”.
Investors will gain access to our wide network of excellent investment opportunities and also get the inside knowledge of the best areas to invest. As property investors ourselves we understand the strict criteria required to buy high performing properties.
Our testimonials describe the ways we have been able to add value to our many clients. Most of our increasing client base stems from glowing referrals given by clients who have been impressed with the value and service we provide.
Does a buyers’ agent need to have a real estate background?
Is A Buyers’ Agent worth the money?
Yes! We regularly save clients far more than the fee we charge, through our understanding of the property market and our skilled negotiation techniques. We offer a fixed fee service. The advantage of the fixed fee structure is that you only pay the same fee regardless of the price of the property. There are three key areas you will get great value for money by engaging P
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?
Propertybuyer is currently the most awarded Buyers Agency in Australia, and this public scrutiny is an unbiased testament to our integrity, value

When you decide on the right property, we will negotiate for you so you will be able to make a rational decision about price without the stress and pressure of dealing with real estate agents or having to negotiate.
Do you have professional indemnity insurance?
What is the process and how long will it take?

"We struggled, some properties were advertised ten percent less than our budget but unfortunately went for way above. Matt knows all of the agents in the beaches very well, and he knows how to play a strategy for each type of property as well as each type of agent."

"Well for me being a single women was quite challenging and i think some real estate agents find it difficult to communicate with a women. The main reason was that in 2016 I used a buyers agent and that was a great outcome. I probably looked at 20 homes with Matt and decided to use him again… he was like a lifeline to me. He communicated with the estate agents, he met all my needs, he was reassuring that everything was going to be okay and in addition to that he was incredibly approachable.
In my second experience, it elevated all the stress and made the challenge of buying a home much easier. I felt understood and supported all the way along during the whole process."
