A buyers agent in Northern Perth 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 Northern Perth 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 Northern Perth decision is made on evidence, not on a sales pitch.

Western Australia is led by Premier Roger Cook (Labor). These are the changes that matter most to investors.
Perth's north combines established suburbs in Stirling and Joondalup with fast growing new estates in Wanneroo, where Alkimos and Eglinton added more people than any other area in WA in 2024-25, and the Yanchep rail extension now links them to the city. We weigh that against supply and holding costs before recommending any suburb in Perth's north.

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
