A buyers agent in Derwent Valley 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 Derwent Valley 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 Derwent Valley 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.
The Derwent Valley, centred on New Norfolk, is a smaller semi rural market on the Lyell Highway, where the new Bridgewater Bridge has improved the trip to Hobart. The State Government has bought Kensington Park for about 100 new lots, so we weigh that added supply against tenant demand and holding costs before recommending any Derwent Valley 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
