The role
What does a buyers agent in Gympie do?
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 Gympie decision is made on evidence, not on a sales pitch.

What has the Queensland Government changed for property investors?
Queensland is led by Premier David Crisafulli (LNP). These are the changes that matter most to investors.
Rent increase limit and bidding banRent can rise only once every 12 months, and since 6 June 2024 that limit applies to the property, not the tenancy; all forms of rent bidding are banned.
Bond cap and minimum standardsBonds are capped at four weeks rent from 30 September 2024, and minimum housing standards have applied to all tenancies since 1 September 2024.
Rental applications and privacyOwners and agents must use an approved application form, ask for no more than two documents per category, offer a fee-free way to apply and give 48 hours notice of most entries.
No duty for first home buyers on new homesFirst home buyers who sign for a new home on or after 1 May 2025 may pay no transfer duty, with no value cap.
Home concessions limited to residentsFor contracts signed on or after 1 August 2026, home and first home duty concessions are limited to citizens, permanent residents and specified foreign retirees; temporary residents generally pay full duty plus the 8% additional foreign acquirer duty.
One million homes by 2044The Securing Our Housing Foundations Plan targets one million new homes by 2044, supported by the $2 billion Residential Activation Fund.
Gympie is a regional centre on the Bruce Highway north of the Sunshine Coast, and its population grew 2.0% in 2024-25 while state funded water upgrades open land for new housing. Growth is coming from new estates, so we weigh that supply and holding costs before recommending any Gympie suburb.
