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

The Northern Territory is led by Chief Minister Lia Finocchiaro (Country Liberal Party). These are the changes that matter most to investors.
Palmerston is Darwin's satellite city, close to the Robertson Barracks army base, and 45% of its homes were rented at the 2021 Census, well above the national 30.6%. Its Palmerston South area grew 3.9% in 2024-25 and new schools and roads are funded to keep up, so we weigh that against supply and holding costs before recommending any Palmerston 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
