Buyers Advocate Melbourne

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.

Excellent , professional , and prompt to action

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.

Liz and the team were amazing, managed my property with the utmost professionalism and care. Always friendly and helpful, I never had to worry about anything! Thank you ☺️

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!

I can't thank Leigh enough for his help finding me my first home. After months of searching on my own, trying to navigate a market I didn't fully understand, and negotiating (poorly) with real estate agents, I reached out on the recommendation of my broker. From our first conversation I knew Leigh was the right choice - he was kind, knowledgeable and realistic about what I should be looking for within my budget. It was such a load off my shoulders having him attend inspections for me when I was at work. He was also happy to sense check my own finds and make recommendations on whether or not they would be a sensible buy. All up I think it was only about a month before we found my dream apartment, and the offer process from my side was so straightforward, because Leigh handled everything. I didn't even have to speak to the agent until after the deal was done. His clever strategy undoubtedly saved me 10-20k on the final price. I honestly pinch myself that I ended up in the apartment I got, and I couldn't have done it without Leigh. If you're a first home buyer who is looking for someone to truly advocate for them, I'd strongly recommend going with him.

Great for design update and sales results

Just wanted to say thank you Leigh who made the process go very smoothly. It was my first time purchasing a property and got recommended by a friend. Would not recommend anyone else? The process was amazing and great. A great experience.

Ruby and Liz were fantastic to work with! They were professional, attentive, and really helped us through every step of the process. Their advice was practical and always in our best interest, and they were always friendly and approachable. Highly recommended!

I had the pleasure of working with Leigh recently and was genuinely impressed by his professionalism. His communication was first-class, always clear and timely and he went above and beyond - even taking the time to coordinate with me well after hours to ensure the deal got done smoothly.

Nothing but positive experiences as a renter with these guys.

We had a great experience securing a property from Ruby and Liz. They have always been proactive in fixing any issues we have had regarding the property. Can’t recommend them enough. Jansher

I highly recommend Buyers Advocate for your property management needs!!! A huge thank you to Liz and Ruby - I was under an extreme amount of pressure and very time poor, when trying to sort out property management etc. Liz went above and beyond to assist me in getting applications processed and prompt turn-around with acceptances. Thank you for your great support!!

Sam was helpful, patient and professional throughout my search for a home. Without his insight, experience and connections within the market I would not have been able to find my ideal property. He was very personal and listened to my feedback which made the whole experience as stress free as possible. I couldn’t have done it without his help.

We had a great experience working with Leigh at Buyer's Advocate. From the outset, Leigh really took the time to listen and put in a lot of effort to understand exactly what we were looking for. He paid close attention to our priorities—not just from our initial brief, but also as we refined our thinking through feedback and discussions around various properties. Leigh kept in regular contact throughout the process, providing market updates and reassurance, which helped us stay confident in our decisions. He was always friendly, approachable, and easy to understand. Auction day was where Leigh’s professionalism and strategic approach really shone. We went in with a well thought out plan, and it was a huge relief knowing we didn’t have to make snap decisions under pressure. It was genuinely enjoyable to watch the strategy unfold just as we had discussed. Overall, Leigh was professional, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. We’re very grateful for his guidance and would highly recommend him to anyone navigating the property market.

I've rented 5 years with buyers advocate, the ladies ive dealt with have been friendly and fantastic. Everything ive needed done/fixed throughout the years was done quickly and promptly. Thanks ladies- Cloe

No fuss. The unit was leased within 2 weeks. Buyers Advocate has good communication skills keeping us always informed and being proactive to ensure both the tenant and landlord are pleased with outcomes.

Liz has been a constant for us over about a decade efficiently managing our investment property. She has been proactive in addressing a multitude of issues and always provide solution based advice. Without Liz I doubt I’d sleep as well. I cannot recommend Liz highly enough.

We've worked with Sam Lally on five seperate transactions and the results have been outstanding every time. He has consistently achieved a substantially better result than we could have without him and we have no hesitation in wholeheartedly recommending his service.

We turned to Sam Llaly after months of disappointment in an unforgiving property market and found results within weeks. Sam is a clever operator and the kind of expert you want in your corner when buying. He’s a well connected, fierce negotiator that provides honest advice. Do yourself a solid and go to Sam.

Thank you to the team at Buyer’s Advocate (especially Liz, Rachel and Ruby) for my experience as a renter of one of their properties. Every maintenance request was actioned, and every email was answered and any issue was handled quickly and efficiently, making my time renting with them easy. Would recommend this agency to renters, and hope to rent from them again in the future!

As a first time home buyer with no experience in property market, heard of all the stressful stories from my colleagues, friends and family members, I was so lost and unsure of where to start, physically and mentally drained and on top of that I was juggling with the very busy work schedules. From the first video call with Leigh, I could feel that I found the right person. I was so pleased that he explained to me about the process like a 5th grader the whole time with bite size information which made me less overwhelm. Leigh was very knowledgeable, down to earth person, always patient and responsive with no matter how small or big questions I had. He was always enthusiastic with his job, and always on time with the appointments. He even gave me numerous times of lift to different places for inspections. Within a month, Leigh helped me secure a beautiful two bedrooms villa unit with a lower price which gave me extra cash flow. He gave me detailed advice which made the buying process a lot faster than I thought. I was very relieved, calm during the whole process moreover, save me a lot time! I didn’t even feel like I was buying a house. Even my family and friends were very amazed with the process I went through. I would use the Buyer’s Advocate service again in the future and I recommend to anyone who wants to buy a property for any reason. Thank you so much Leigh, for achieving my first home with unbelievably stress free! I couldn’t have done it without you.

Leigh was highly effective in securing us a property within budget and in a timely manner. A great and informative professional who took a lot of the stress out of the process. Appreciate all your help!

I was at a crossroads trying to buy a house and really needed some expert guidance. I'd been very impressed by Leigh's website and decided to see what he had to offer. He emailed me almost instantly after I pressed send on my enquiry. He set up a telephone meeting for the next day and I decided after a fifteen minute chat to use Leigh as my buyers advocate. I don't know if he'd appreciate this comment but I felt like I was being taken care of by a kindly rural GP who really listened and genuinely wanted to help. Within a couple of months we'd secured a property that completely surpassed our expectations and Leigh supported us the entire way. His company handled all the paperwork and made it a very easy experience for us. I cannot recommend him highly enough. What we saved in time and energy and on the eventual sale price more than covered his fee. I will definitely being using Leigh and his team in the future.

I've been renting a property through Buyer's Advocate for the past two years, and the experience has been nothing short of excellent. From day one, they were incredibly helpful, professional, and always accommodating. Whether it was handling maintenance requests, lease renewals, or general queries, Liz Haughey & Rachel Walter were always just a call or message away—quick to respond and genuinely caring. It made my rental stay smooth and stress-free. As I now move on, I truly appreciate their support throughout and would highly recommend buyer's advocate to anyone looking for a dependable and friendly real estate service.

Buyer’s advocate has been extremely instrumental in getting us our dream rented place particularly we are very happy with service provided by Liz Haughey.She is extremely professional,prompt and very cooperative.I would highly recommend Buyer’s advocate as real estate.
