A buyers agent in Gold Coast is a licensed agent who acts only for the buyer, never the seller. Citadel Agency is a buyers agency based in Preston, Victoria, that helps investors buy in Gold Coast and across Australia, with suburb research, on and off market sourcing, due diligence and negotiation through to settlement.
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 Gold Coast decision is made on evidence, not on a sales pitch.

Queensland is led by Premier David Crisafulli (LNP). These are the changes that matter most to investors.
For an investor, rent can rise only once every 12 months per property, and leasing has to follow set forms, bond limits and minimum standards, so cash flow plans should assume one review a year. The duty concessions are aimed at owner occupiers, so investors pay standard transfer duty, and foreign or temporary resident buyers should check the 8% additional duty.

Values from comparative market analyses (CMA). Suburb only, no client details. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
I have purchased multiple properties over the years however was stuck for over 6months trying to get into the Melbourne and Tassie market. I reached out to the team and in a few weeks they secured me 2 great properties. I will use Citadel for all future purchases going forward. 10/10
