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

NSW is led by Premier Chris Minns (Labor). These are the changes that matter most to investors.
Port Macquarie is a coastal health, retirement and services centre that grew 1.5% in the year to June 2025, faster than the 0.9% for regional NSW (ABS), while only about one in four homes is rented. We weigh that against land supply and holding costs before recommending any Port Macquarie 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
