A buyers agent in George Town 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 George Town 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 suburb research, so your George Town decision is made on evidence, not on a sales pitch.

Tasmania is led by Premier Jeremy Rockliff (Liberal). These are the changes that matter most to investors.
George Town is an industrial town built around the Port of Bell Bay, where aluminium smelting was the largest single employer of residents at the 2021 Census, and about one in four homes is rented. Treasury expects the population to stay close to flat, so we weigh the outlook for the Bell Bay industries against supply and holding costs before recommending any George Town suburb.

Projections are government projections, not forecasts by Citadel Agency.

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

In February 2026 the Tasmanian Government's Bell Bay Response Team met with all three levels of government to discuss the future of the region's major industrial sites.
At the 2021 Census, 791 occupied private dwellings in George Town were rented, or 27.2%, according to the ABS. That is slightly above the Tasmanian figure of 26.4%.
TasPorts expects its new Bell Bay shiploader, worth almost $32 million with its access bridge, to be complete in mid 2028 (TasPorts, July 2026). The Australian and Tasmanian governments are also investing $90 million in East Tamar Highway upgrades, including the Bell Bay Road junction (Transport Tasmania).
It depends on the price, the type of property, whether you will live in it or rent it out, whether you are a first home buyer and whether you are a foreign buyer. Our free stamp duty calculator uses the published Tasmania rates, and your conveyancer will confirm the final amount.
