    Nick at Propertybuyer was fantastic. His knowledgeable and professional approach saved us time and stress and allowed us to confidently move forward buying our first house. We are overseas Australian citizens so he certainly made the entire process seamless. He even managed to negotiate the property below list price which we wouldn’t have known was possible. 100% would recommend Propertybuyer and will use them/Nick again if we are fortunate enough to be in the position to buy another property in the future.

    We were referred to Property Buyer to help our family find a new family home. From the very first meeting, Nick established good rapport, and more importantly trust… almost instantly. He was genuinely curious about our requirements and asked all the right questions to quickly understand exactly what we were after. Within a fortnight he had handpicked 5 properties for us, each of them were amazing – however the very first absolutely blew us away. As luck would have it, it was completely out of our price range, by a significant sum! However, Nick’s experience and steely resolve, led to him signalling to the Sales Agent we were somewhat interested (obviously not coming across too keen). Within 2.5 business days he had convinced the Sales Agent to convince the buyer to drop the asking price – substantially! Nick saw that this was the moment to seize the opportunity to snare the property before auction, and coached us into putting in a compelling offer, accompanied by a good deposit and a 66W to start the negotiation process. We submitted the first offer on the Thursday morning, and by late that evening Nick had secured the property for us – on our very first offer. Nick is the pivotal reason why my wife and I have secured our family’s forever home. We will be eternally grateful to him and Property Buyer for supporting our family through this life-changing journey.

    Rich Harvey from Propertybuyer Buyers' Agent recently assisted us in finding and negotiating to buy a new home in our downsizing exercise. We found Rich to be very professional and responsive at all times. He provided excellent feedback and advice in a very timely manner which took a great deal of the stress out of the whole process for my wife and I . We believe it to be a cost effective exercise and would recommend Rich to those that are looking at using his firms services.

    Niki, Peter and team at property buyers helped my Fiancé and I buy our first home to start our married life together. From the get go, we had no idea what suburbs would suit us, where we could get the most capital growth and why we ought to choose it. The team here went above and beyond, answered the phone everyday and contastly worked with a lot of people to get us a dream home with passive income, well within budget. I'd recommend using them in your property search as they're data driven and driven to achieve a good outcome for you.

    We recently bought our first commercial property as an investment with help from Alberto and I would readily recommend PropertyBuyer and Alberto to others. This was the first time we had looked to buy commercial property and were aware that there were differences when looking at residential and we also didn't have the time to do all the leg work ourselves. We wanted to minimise the risk of making mistakes and were very glad that we did with Alberto putting forward a number of property options that were off-market, including the one we ended up purchasing. From the beginning the service was excellent with Alberto working with us to define our target market and criteria and he then got to work putting forward a number of properties. He was always available for discussion and would explain why we should think about certain tactics and the pro's and con's of each property. We recevied detailed property appraisals and clear feedback as we missed a few opportunities as it is a very competitive market and we wanted to be disciplined. The outcome was the successful purchase of a property that met nearly all of our criteria and we are very happy with the result. I would readily use Alberto again and would recommend him to others as well. Nathan

    My husband and I had a very wonderful and pleasant buying journey with the team at Property Buyer. We worked closely with initially Munro and then Niki and they were both absolutely amazing. Niki organised private inspections for us and helped us out with any questions that we had during the buying process. Thank you Niki for encouraging us to expand our search area because we finally found our gorgeous place that we can now call home. Thank you to everyone that helped us out, we really appreciate it.

    I am delighted to share my heartfelt appreciation for Alberto, whose expertise and commitment made our recent commercial property acquisition an outstanding experience. From the initial search to settling on our ideal property, Alberto demonstrated an unparalleled ability to find options that perfectly matched our specific requirements and budget constraints. Alberto's negotiation skills played a crucial role in securing a favourable deal, surpassing our expectations and ensuring we obtained the best possible terms. What truly set Alberto apart was his extensive network and robust relationships with local agents. Thanks to these connections, we were able to navigate the market swiftly and secure our desired property in a remarkably short period. Throughout the process, Alberto's dedication to a seamless transaction was evident. His proactive approach and swift resolution of any issues showcased not only his professionalism but also his genuine commitment to ensuring a stress-free experience for his clients. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Alberto to anyone in need of a property buyer’s agent. His exceptional service, market expertise, negotiation finesse, and valuable network make him an exemplary professional in the field. Alberto, thank you for your dedication and for turning our commercial property acquisition into a resounding success.

    I am living overseas. i think Alberto did a great job in finding me the right property. It has really good returns, I hope going forward Alberto can help me build a portfolio of properties that will always increase in value.

    Nick is a really a nice guy who respects your tastes/needs. This is not at the detriment of having a backbone in high pressure situations though. I was O/S at the time of purchase a Nick was able to pull through under budget and negotiate a deal swiftly. He guided my partner on auction day and made it a smooth process even when internally we were freaking out! Highly recommended service that we have used 3 times now. It's really a no brainer in our books.

    Most people make very few property purchases. Even if you've been watching markets and planning ahead it's a very steep learning curve with many unkowns. It's an area where if I'm realistic, I'm far from expert. So we engaged Munro's expertise and have no regrets. Munro impressed us from the outset with his approach to helping us with our recent purchase. The most important issue, prior to sign up was helping us clearly understand for ourselves - then explain to him - how the new property fitted into our bigger life plans. That process in itself was worthwhile for the confidence it brought us. Upon signing, he swung into action, immediately organising a property inspection and the relevant reports, along with evidence based value comparisons. His negotiations on our behalf meant we could carry on with normal life while the contract process progressed. What was very impressive and, frankly, impossible for us to match, was his knowledge of areas and the people involved. That gave him the edge in negotiating. And we were very satisfied. Financially he paid for himself, but even more, when I felt out of my depth, he was always there, with advice and encouragement. We're very happy that we engaged Munro and the resources behind him. Thanks mate.

    We chose Property Buyer based off recommendations from the Barefoot Investor Facebook group. We were looking for a commercial property to manage within our SMSF and had absolutely no idea of what would be a good purchase or how to make this happen! Alberto was fantastic to work with, he made it a smooth process right from the beginning. He educated us on what would make a good investment and what he would be looking for. He was clear from the beginning that the property we were after in the budget we had would be a bit trickier to find so was clear about a timeframe expectation. He stayed in contact regularly and presented us with suitable properties. Unfortunately we missed the first opportunity but we got in on the second! He has made this process very smooth and stress free and I would absolutely recommend Alberto from Property Buyer for anyone looking for a Commercial/Industrial investment. We hope to see him again in the future as we build our portfolio!

    I recently had the pleasure of working with Nick Taylor as my buyers agent for purchasing a home, and I can't recommend him highly enough. From start to finish, he was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and patient. He took the time to really listen to my needs and preferences, and worked tirelessly to find properties that matched what I was looking for. Throughout the search process, he was always available to answer my questions and provide guidance, and I never felt pressured to make a decision. When we finally found the perfect house, he was an expert negotiator / bidder and was able to secure a great deal for me. He also helped me navigate all of the paperwork and legalities involved in closing the sale, making the whole process much smoother and less stressful than I had anticipated. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my experience working with Nick, and I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone in the market for a home. He truly went above and beyond to make sure I found the right property and had a positive experience throughout the entire process.

    Propertybuyer has just been awarded buyers agency of the year from REINSW Awards for Excellence and I can see why, especially when they have a team of buyers agents like our man Alberto Da Grava! From the time we met Alberto until the end of settlement day we found him to be happy & friendly, punctual, trustworthy, very informative and extremely helpful. We were overseas for a period and Alberto even answered our messages in the middle of the night!! Alberto has exceptional negotiation skills and managed to save us nearly $100,000 which we were able to use some to pay for Propertybuyer's commission and added expenses. Every hurdle we came to Alberto went above and beyond to solve the issues and answer our questions which we encountered many including the contract, lease and ongoing communications with the solicitors. If you 're thinking of using a buyers agent to buy a commercial property anywhere from Sydney to Brisbane and beyond this guy is your man. We highly recommend Propertybuyer Sydney as the whole team gives 110%!!! Liz

    We engaged property buyer team to help us secure a home in Sydney’s inner west. Being an Australian expat based overseas we needed someone on the ground who would not only act as our eyes and ears but was trustworthy, reliable and understanding of our needs. Enter Nick Taylor. Nick was super responsive and easy to communicate with despite the challenge of time differences when we called from overseas. He was diligent and did the hard work negotiating on our behalf. He managed to secure the property we wanted and continued to provide support literally all the way up to settlement. He took videos, photos, shared valuation assessments as that’s something he did previously and was simply a gentleman throughout. It’s not often you see this in the industry but he was a very warm and caring person to deal with. Thank you Nick and Thank you to the property buyer team.

    Propertybuyer helped us buy our first home when we first arrived in Sydney. They have been amazing over the years in supporting our purchase decisions. Recently Nick Taylor-Fick helped us to find and purchase the property that fits our lifestyle and purpose. Nick is amazing and his knowledge of Inner West grounds us in our decision making. He is realistic in his approach and helped us to make the best decision. House buying is not always a rational process and we appreciate his level-headedness. We can not be happier with our new home. Absolutely recommend his services, especially in this market environment.

  • 5/5 Camilo Porto N. 8 months ago on Google
    100% recommend PropertyBuyer. Hiring such effective buyer agent service was the most value decision we made to acquire our home. We are so glad with the outcome we end up with! Special thanks to Nick who helped us in this journey

  • 5/5 Jigesh P. 2 years ago on Google
    I was very happy to have Nick as my buyer's agent, he brought a wealth of experience and helped finding me a great property. He made sure that I did not take any impatience decision. He was very receptive to what I was looking for and helped us achieve a great result. I would defiantly engage Nick again and highly recommend him.

    After searching for a few months and either getting priced out or not liking what I could afford, I was losing momentum and motivation. And considering the market at that time, complacency was only going to punish me. Then I was referred to Nick at PropertyBuyer. This guy knows his stuff, and he really took the time to understand me, what I was looking for, and what I did and didn't like. No judgement. He suggested a part of Sydney that I would never have considered on my own, and helped me keep it real around what I could get for my budget and revising my wish list to something more realistic, without letting go of the things that really mattered to me. Just 5 weeks later I found something that ticked all the boxes and I secured my home well within budget. Highly recommend Nick, he'll make sure you don't buy a lemon :)

    When I was seeking to buy my first home I had no idea what areas where good to buy and what to look out for. Niki from Property Buyers assisted us al l the way through. She recommended good areas within my price range, arranged to view properties that we wanted to have a look at. When it came time to choose a property her various contacts was instrumental in helping ease us through the process. Thanks Niki! Thanks Property Buyers!

    We approached Rich Harvey to assist us in looking for a property suitable for dual living. We needed level access, privacy and independence for my elderly parents, downsizing after 50 years in the same home. We also needed to amply accommodate our own family with two fast growing primary-age children. We had limited budget and time constraints as well as family medical challenges to contend with. It was a tricky brief even without the housing market taking off like a rocket in the midst! In coming to this situation, we lacked experience as buyers but carried plenty of responsibility with the commitment to support my parents through this transition. As a buyer’s agent, Rich helped us to really work out what we actually wanted and then guided us to the most suitable properties. He did all this with compassion, superior insight and experience, and regular clear honest communication. He also strongly supported us to stay the journey of finding the right house for us, despite the pressures of a white-hot market, helping us to stay optimistic despite the apparent circumstances, at times! Our new property was purchased off-market but even so there was a tight bidding process behind the scenes. Right until the last minute, Rich supported us with his calm clear presence of mind, focus and drive. He helped to keep us on-track when we might have otherwise given way under the adrenalin! We can honestly say that if it wasn’t for Rich we would not have been had access to the property we ended up buying let alone been successful in purchasing it. We are extremely thankful for his services to us as an extended family. We can’t recommend Rich Harvey and Propertybuyer more highly. We would not hesitate to seek his help again and we highly recommend him to all our friends. After our experience, the question we would ask is this: why would you choose to go it alone when you can have Rich!?

    We had such an amazing experience with Property Buyer. Super prompt response to our enquiry - We were clueless on how we would get through the auction process and were finding it daunting to participate and bid on our own. Nick came to our rescue. In a short span of time, he understood our financial position and emotions on our short-listed property. His calm and composed approach helped us to manage our anxiety. On the day of auction Nick ensured he spent time with us and gave us confidence regarding the auction process and his proposed approach. We won the bid and can't be grateful enough for the support with buying our 1st dream house! We are thankful to the Property Buyer team for their wonderful support and would highly recommend to prospective buyers.

    Niki is personable and pleasant to work with. She is a responsive communicator and her calm but firm negotiation skills will be advantageous to anyone who is needing help with buying a property.

    We engaged them in March 2021 through Buyers Buyers (Pete Wargents new venture) as they have a partnership with them. This enabled us to access them at a lower price then they would normally charge. Stewart Fraser was assigned to us as we were looking to buy in the west of Sydney. The first thing that Stewart told us that he was surprised that Property Buyer agreed to this arrangement (lower price) as they normally charge a lot more. From then on I think he must have decided that he was not going to devote enough time for us. The few deals we got from him did not meet our brief and weren't off market as they always say they get. It would be weeks before we would hear back from Stewart. The communication was poor and didn't make us feel confident. We felt a lot of time was wasted as the market had started to move very fast. Interestingly Stewart also runs his own buyers agency apart from working for Rich. Clearly, there is a conflict of interest there. For all the marketing and self promotion they do, the level of service clearly falls short. If you intend to engage them, I would suggest getting them to commit to communicating regularly and keeping to your brief. Otherwise you will end up wasting weeks and months looking at properties that don't meet your requirements. We wouldn't recommend them to anyone. Better to work with independent buyer's agent or a smaller agency that gives more personal service. But ensure you maintain control. We decided to cancel the engagement after months of inactivity and fair amount of disappointment. Rich seems knowledgeable but it doesn't translate into his employees service levels. I would suggest them to regroup and assess where they are falling short and work on improving those areas. EDIT: Rich reached out to me given the poor review. In his words he said it will impact how potential clients perceive his company. I mentioned to him that this review isn't criticising him specifically but more about how Stewart Fraser treated us post realizing that we had been assigned to him at a lower price point (11k vs 15k which they normally charge). But it is clear that Stewart wasn't fully across the arrangement between Property Buyers (Rich) and Buyers Buyer (Pete). It is a reflection on poor processes and comms within the company between the owner and staff. Basically, we were not given the same amount of time and service by the agent despite the market conditions. I do not agree with the fact that Stewart wasn't running his own side hustle whilst also working for Rich as mentioned in the response from Rich. I found that out while searching online at the time we engaged them and it was mentioned on his social media page very publicly. In my discussion with Rich I mentioned that I am trying to be fair in my assessment and don't want to be influenced to remove my review. It is only fair to potential customers of Property Buyers so that they can make an informed decision. But appreciate the fact that Rich has accepted to improve his company processes and to invest in staff training etc. For this I am bumping up the rating by one star.

    We didn't have the time to search for our investment property and Covid made it even harder. Niki was great in helping us narrow down an area and in shortlisting properties and advising us on what to look for. We ended up with an off market property that ticked most of our boxes, and all with very little time commitment from us. Thanks Niki.

    Highly recommend the PropertyBuyers team. Our property agent, Nick, guided us through our first property purchase in the competitive Sydney market. We are Australian citizens living abroad and needed someone on the ground to do the leg work for us and could negotiate the best possible purchase price for us, which Nick unreservedly did. When you look at the fees for engaging a buyers agent you might think surely I can do this myself instead? Engaging a professional firm who do this day in and day out puts you in the best possible position for a property purchase, they know the local market, the sales agents and they have comprehensive data to share with you that the average consumer doesn't have access to. Nick saved us hundreds of thousands off the list price of our Sydney property - something I didn't even think would be possible in this market, had we not used their services we would have absolutely overpaid. Even factoring in the buyers agency fees we were ahead over 150k. Highly recommend Nick, who happens to also just be a nice, professional great guy who genuinely wanted to get the best deal for us. We are happy clients!

    Alberto from Property Buyer helped us find and buy a property that met our brief. We chose to engage a property buying agent to take some of the time and stress off ourselves, and they not only did that, but also found us properties we would not have seen if we were looking ourselves. We would highly recommend using Alberto or anyone from Propertybuyer.

  • 5/5 Robert S. 2 years ago on Google
    When our company decided to buy a new property for our Super Fund to a particular specification and location we inquired of the services of 3 property buyers. After receiving a proposal from all 3 we were particularly impressed by the offer received from Propertybuyers. After further discussion and conversations with Alberto Da Grava we were very impressed and chose to go with Propertybuyers. Alberto helped us find and buy a property within 2 months that met our brief. We chose to engage a property buying agent to take some of the time and stress off ourselves, and they not only did that, but also found us properties we would not have seen if we were looking ourselves. We would highly recommend using Alberto from Propertybuyer.

    Munro made a typically stress-induced process a breeze. He was always proactive and helpful with communication. Within a week, we were well acquainted and he was able to narrow down our options according to the brief. It’s bittersweet having Munro find a property for us so quickly and not having him for longer – he’s become a great friend throughout the process.

  • 5/5 Susan S. 2 years ago on Google
    I highly recommend Property Buyers Agents Sydney for anyone who is looking to buy their next dream property. Our buyers agent Nick is efficient, professional and truly amazing at what he does. Nick is highly knowledgeable given his background as a property valuer, he was accommodating and listened to all our feedback despite us changing the brief multiple times. He provided us with excellent advice from start to finish. He was able to get everything ready for auction with less than 48 hours to go. He ended up winning us our very first Sydney home with his excellent bidding skills. I would definitely use Property Buyers again for my next property purchase and I would highly recommend Nick to my colleagues and friends.

  • 5/5 Steph H. 2 years ago on Google
    I have been looking at property far and wide across Sydney for the last few years.. I approached Property Buyer and ended up connecting with Nick Taylor-Fick who was brilliant. Helpful, chatty and the whole process really helped me zero in on a few areas and stop spinning on the spot.. in less than 2 weeks and after only 3 inspections I have bought my first place in Sydney after years of saving…. I paid roughly $10,000 which translated to brief, research, viewings, negotiations, pre purchase inspection as I was going to be overseas at the time… For me meeting Nick really was a brilliant experience as I was searching all over the place for everything and I ended up buying in a suburb which I had never considered yet exactly fit what I was looking for… I was a little skeptical to sign up initially but for me it really crystallised exactly what I was looking for and I’m absolutely chuffed to bits! Wonder if Nick also does dating as I reckon he would find me a great husband too 😂 Thanks again Nick I am really grateful for all the patience, advice and help.

  • 5/5 Nathan W. 2 years ago on Google
    We engaged Propertybuyer to help us secure our home. We had identified 2 properties we liked and wanted to make offers on. Both were open to offers prior to auction. However this can often be very difficult to navigate. Stewart did an amazing job And was quick to get into action. He helped us successful the property prior to auction and less than a week from engaging him. In the current hot market, a buyers agent on your side makes a huge difference and definitely gave us the winning edge in the negotiations. Would highly recommend Stewart Fraser.
