A buyers agent in Central 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 Central 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 research across 15,500 suburbs, so your Central Coast decision is made on evidence, not on a sales pitch.

NSW is led by Premier Chris Minns (Labor). These are the changes that matter most to investors.
The Central Coast is growing steadily, and Gosford, Tuggerah, Wyong and Woy Woy are zoned for denser housing near their stations, which will add apartment supply there. Statewide rental rules now favour longer tenancies, so factor annual rent reviews and reasoned-ending rules into your plan.

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
