A buyers agent in West Tamar 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 West Tamar 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 West Tamar 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.
West Tamar is a commuter area for Launceston, with Legana growing along the newly duplicated highway, and only about one in five homes is rented. Treasury projects steady growth to 2053, and we weigh that against land supply and holding costs before recommending any West Tamar 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
