A buyers agent in Fraser 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 Fraser 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 suburb research, so your Fraser 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.
The Fraser Coast is one of Queensland's faster growing regions, driven by retirees and families moving in, with health care, construction and the new Torbanlea train factory adding jobs. We weigh that against the large pipeline of new land and holding costs before recommending any Hervey Bay or Maryborough suburb.

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

The Fraser Coast Regional Council area had an estimated 122,924 residents at 30 June 2025, up 2,573 people or 2.1% over the year, the fifth fastest growth rate in Queensland (ABS via the Queensland Government Statistician, March 2026). The Queensland Government projects 137,036 residents by 2046.
At 30 June 2025 the Fraser Coast had the highest share of residents aged 65 and over of any Queensland council area, at 31.4%, according to the Queensland Government Statistician. That shapes demand for health services and smaller, low maintenance homes.
The $94 million Hervey Bay Hospital expansion is under construction, and train production started at the Torbanlea facility near Maryborough in June 2026. In August 2026 the state committed almost $100 million to water and sewer works that unlock more than 14,000 homes.
At the 2021 Census, 24.4% of occupied homes in the Fraser Coast council area were rented, or 10,717 dwellings (ABS).
