SELECTIVE BUYERS AGENTS
BUYERS AGENCY - VICTORIA
I see every property as a builder, a developer and a buyer.
I work with a small number of owner-occupiers purchasing above $2M across Victoria. My background is in construction project management, property development and building my own portfolio, which means I bring a genuinely different eye to every property I assess.

MY BACKGROUND
I came from construction and development - not from real estate sales.
Before working as a buyers agent I spent years as a construction project manager, built a personal portfolio of residential and commercial property, and ran a property development company completing infill housing projects. I have flipped properties and completed extensions and renovations in Victoria. I know what to look for - from doing it, not advising on it.
"The difference between a great purchase and an expensive mistake is rarely about the price paid."

HOW I WORK
I assess every property as a builder, a developer and a buyer.
At this price point, the questions that matter most are rarely answered by a standard property search, what will this cost to improve, what is the land genuinely worth, what am I not being shown. These are questions I have been asking on my own properties for years.
01
RENOVATION & EXTENSION
Based on what is visible - age, condition, layout, site constraints. I assess whether a renovation or extension is likely to be relatively contained or genuinely complex. I identify what questions need answering before you commit, and what further investigation is worth commissioning. I have done this work myself in Victoria, which means my read is grounded in what it actually takes to execute.
02
DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
I assess every site for its long term ceiling - what the land could support, what overlays and constraints apply, and what that means for value over time. Even if you never develop, this changes how you should think about price and future resale.
03
HONEST READ
I look at a property for what it is, not how it has been presented. I will tell you what the visible condition suggests, what it does not tell us, and what warrants further investigation - clearly and without qualification.
04
MOVING DECISIVELY
Due diligence does not have to mean slow. When a property is right, I work quickly and thoroughly. I will not recommend moving on something that does not meet the mark - but when it does, I will not let process get in the way of securing it.
WHAT YOU'RE BUYING
Whether you want turnkey or potential - I assess both the same way.
Above $2M in Victoria, buyers are not a single type. Some want a prestige home or lifestyle property ready to move into. Others are specifically looking for something they can improve or extend. Many are weighing both. Either way, I assess every property for what it is today, what it could realistically become, and whether it represents genuine value.
IF YOU WANT TURNKEY
A finished prestige property still deserves rigorous assessment. I look at the quality of what has been done, what the site could support in future, and whether the price reflects genuine long term value, not just how well it has been presented.
IF YOU WANT TO RENOVATE OR EXTEND
I assess what is visible - age, condition, layout, site, and give you an honest read of likely complexity and the right questions to answer before committing. I have completed this work in Victoria myself, so my assessment reflects what is genuinely involved.
BEFORE YOU ENGAGE ME
I put my assessment in writing before you commit.
Instead of a discovery session, I offer something more useful. Once we have spoken and I believe I can genuinely help, I will provide a written Property Assessment Report, either on a property you are already considering, or using a recent real world example so you can see exactly how I think before deciding whether to proceed.I offer this before engagement because I am confident in what I bring and because you deserve to understand what you are buying before you sign anything.
— An honest assessment of the property's visible condition and what it means for you
— Renovation and extension potential including likely complexity and key questions to answer before proceeding
— Development potential and future land value assessment
— What further investigations I would recommend commissioning and why
— A simple verdict: buy, proceed with caution, or walk away including my reasoning
WHO I WORK WITH
I am selective about who I work with. That is deliberate.
I work with a small number of clients at any one time. My clients are typically professionals upsizing to a home they intend to genuinely love, or people relocating to Victoria who need someone who knows this market and can properly assess what they are looking at. They want someone who will tell them the truth including when that means walking away from a property they have already fallen for.
