A Townsville buyers agent is a licensed agent who acts only for the buyer. Citadel Agency has secured 17 investment properties in Townsville for clients, every one of them off market or pre market, from suburb research and sourcing through to negotiation and 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 Townsville decision is made on evidence, not on a sales pitch.

Queensland is led by Premier David Crisafulli (LNP). These are the rental and housing changes that matter most to investors.
Queensland rules now limit rent rises to once a year and cap bonds, so the rent you start with matters. We check rent evidence and the property's condition against the minimum standards before every Townsville purchase.

Values now are 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
