What People Say About Our
Buyers Agents

5 stars! Sam’s service and communication was exceptional. He accompanied me to see my dream apartment within 48 hours of my first email to him, and he secured it for me just 2 days later, keeping me updated throughout. He also connected me with his conveyancer and guided me through the process as a first-time home buyer. Sam has the knowledge, experience and connections to get the job done and I’m thrilled with the outcome. Highly recommend!

Rebecca L

Couldn’t think of a better service to have on your side in the process of buying and selling your home.

We’ve bought and sold our home before but Leigh’s services made such a difference over all facets of our property journey, we’d not hesitate to engage him and team again.

Positive warm personality, ease of communication, realistic, understanding, empathy, depth of knowledge, negotiating skills, brilliant legal/conveyancing support, the list goes on.

He’s with you from the very beginning, through all the twists and turns, to the day you move into your next home.

Chris Haydon

I found the prospect of buying my first apartment extremely daunting and was so worried I would wind up with a dud apartment that I'd way overpaid for. Working with Leigh from Buyers Advocate was the best decision I made. He held my hand throughout the whole buying process and he knew all the right things to look for and the right questions to ask. Having him there to speak with the sellers agent relieved so much stress. I am absolutely thrilled with my brand new apartment. Thank you Leigh
