The role

What does a buyers agent in Perth do?

Consumer Affairs Victoria describes a buyer’s agent as a licensed estate agent who, for a fee, acts for a buyer instead of a seller. A selling agent works for the vendor. We work only for you: we find and shortlist properties, look at ones that are never advertised, check each one, and negotiate or bid at auction for you.

Citadel Agency was founded by Omar De Guise and Jadd Chahal. Every purchase is backed by our own research across 15,500 suburbs, so your Perth decision is made on evidence, not on a sales pitch.

Five questions to ask any buyers agent
  1. Are you licensed, and what is your licence number?
  2. Do you ever act for sellers?
  3. Do you receive rebates or commissions from anyone other than me?
  4. What happens if we do not find a property?
  5. Can I read the buyer’s agency authority before I commit?

What this means for you

Investors in Perth can lift rent only once every 12 months and should expect tenant requests for pets and minor modifications, so plan rent reviews and property condition with that in mind. New rail lines and state funding for lots and infill are adding supply around stations, so check what is planned close to any property you are considering.
