The role

What does a buyers agent in Murray Bridge 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 Murray Bridge decision is made on evidence, not on a sales pitch.

  3. Do you receive rebates or commissions from anyone other than me?

What this means for you

Murray Bridge is the main regional service town for the Murraylands, on the River Murray and the South Eastern Freeway, and about one in three homes is rented. The state is funding a technical college, hospital upgrades and more buses while new land is rezoned, so we weigh that supply against holding costs before recommending any Murray Bridge suburb.
