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

Bathurst is a Central West education, health and services city, its hospital is being rebuilt until 2028, and its main road to Sydney at Victoria Pass is expected to reopen in mid 2027. We weigh that against land supply and holding costs before recommending any Bathurst 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
