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

Almost half of all homes are rented and many new apartments are planned, so we weigh that supply against holding costs before recommending any Parramatta suburb.
