Leigh advised me on the purchase of my home and attended the auction on my behalf. He's friendly and knowledgeable, answered every question quickly and thoughtfully, and was always available when I needed him. He was patient throughout, and his experience as an auction bidder gave me real confidence on the day. We secured the property and I'm thrilled with the result.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude. This was the third real estate agency I’ve used in Australia, and they were exceptional. A special thanks to Liz, who was always incredibly friendly and a joy to speak with on every call. Her responses were consistently fast, and her warmth and kindness shone through in every message. Not only was everything handled seamlessly, but it was also done quickly and accurately. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a home, and I am truly grateful for all their help!

What an experience!! From the first interaction with Sam, through to the final inspection, we could not be happier. Thank you Sam and the team at Buyers Advocate!

We couldn't be happier with Leigh, Liz, and the whole team! They were instrumental in helping us secure a great interstate investment property, which was rented out within just a week of settlement. We were so impressed that we’ve now handed over our second investment property for them to manage. We highly recommend them whether you need a skilled buyers agent or a top-tier property manager!
The amount of stress Leigh saved us from with his wealth of knowledge was worth every cent, let alone all of the money he saved us with his exceptional negotiation skills. So glad he was on our team!

Get Leigh on your side. Over the past 10 months, he’s helped me successfully sell two homes and buy another, with outstanding results in a challenging market. Leigh combines deep market knowledge with smart strategy, genuine warmth and absolute integrity. His advice was spot on every time, from big decisions to the small details that made a real difference to the outcome. Throughout the process, I always felt he was in my corner and acting solely in my best interests. I trust Leigh completely and wouldn’t make a property move without him. Highly recommended.

We couldnt have made this journey without Paul's diligence, experience and support. He has guided us through this process twice now and I would thoroughly recommend his service.

We can't recommend Paul highly enough. This is the second time we've used him as our buyers advocate - first around 12 years ago, and again this year, and he exceeded every expectation. Paul is incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely invested in getting the best outcome for you. He took so much of the stress out of the process and gave us complete confidence every step of the way, including pulling us back on track whenever we needed it! If you're looking for someone you can trust completely, Paul is simply the best.

It’s not easy and is really quite daunting to buy a property on your own, so I really appreciated Sam Lally’s support through the process, as well as how thorough, helpful and responsive he was. I also really appreciate that I didn’t feel pressured into buying things he’d found that just weren’t quite right for my self-confessed picky preferences. It was such a valuable thing to have someone on my side who knows how to ‘play the game’ with real estate agents. Very happy.

We just wanted to thank Sam Lally for all his help and support over the last few months and especially these past few weeks as we finished the paperwork. It has been stressful for us being overseas and we really appreciate all of the guidance, his availability out of hours for phone calls and emails and patience with our endless questions! I think there's a lot of points where someone else would have told us to sort ourselves out or the deal would fall through and then wash their hands of it, and it means a lot that Sam went so far out of your way to help us. In the end, we are really happy with the house, it was a great find and a great location, and we would never have got anywhere close to landing it without all of your help. Thank you!

I've been working with Buyer's Advocate for a couple of years and I couldn't recommend them enough. Rachel, Liz and the rest of the team have been great to work with.
Top notch service. In between jobs and out of town, I relied on Leigh and team to assess, negotiate and settle my transaction. I found the team highly responsive to my range of queries and needs, and in the future would return. Highly recommended.

Sam Lally was the most reliable buying agent throughout our house-searching journey. He provided excellent support, including strong knowledge of property evaluation, the local market, and all relevant aspects of purchasing a property. We highly recommend Sam to anyone considering buying a property, especially if you want to make a well-informed purchase without overpaying.

Thanks Leigh + team for helping us get into our first home. Leigh’s expertise was vital in ensuring we selected the right house, and in negotiating with vendors + real estate agents in a very competitive market. Without Leigh’s advice we wouldn’t have got the deal over the line. He was also available after we signed, and continued to support us until settlement by providing advice, helping us get approval to access our house early, and his team even completed the final inspection for us.

The team at Buyers Advocate are extremely prompt and attentive, and a pleasure to deal with. I have been renting through this agency for the past 4+ years and highly recommend them.

We enlisted Leigh from Buyers Advocate to help us purchase our new home recently and could not more highly recommend their services. We knew we were buying in a competitive market and wanted to put ourself in the best position to secure a property with minimum stress. We expected the process would take in excess of 6 months, but Leigh managed to secure us the first property we were interested in bidding on! There is no way we would have been able to develop the correct strategy for the property we were aiming to buy, and Leigh's depth of knowledge and skill completely shielded us from the stresses of buying a home. I have seen some of my friends go through enormous stress trying to do it on their own and by comparison we were just able to relax and let a professional do all of the negotiating on our behalf. If we were in the position of buying another home I would not hesitate in enlisting Buyers Advocate to assist us again. We are very grateful for Leigh's help. 10 out of 10.

Sarah Ross is simply the best buyer's advocate. Without her support, we would not have been able to buy our dream home. Her industry knowledge, access to off-market properties, strong networks, and expert negotiating skills were invaluable. She truly understood our priorities, saved us enormous time, and guided us through every step with passion and determination. Absolutely incredible to work with - couldn’t recommend Sarah more highly. Thank you for making our dream home a reality, Sarah!
