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

Planning
Midway Point and Sorell causeways duplicationThe next stages of the South East Traffic Solution, duplicating the Midway Point and Sorell causeways, are listed by Transport Tasmania as pending environmental approvals.

What has the Tasmanian Government changed for property investors?
Tasmania is led by Premier Jeremy Rockliff (Liberal). These are the changes that matter most to investors.
Pets in rentalsLandlords can no longer apply blanket no pet rules, and a landlord who wants to refuse a pet must apply to TASCAT within 14 days and show reasonable grounds.
First home buyer duty exemption endedThe full duty exemption for first home buyers of established homes up to $750,000 applied only to settlements from 18 February 2024 to 30 June 2026.
Furniture anchoring in rentalsA Bill letting tenants anchor furniture without the owner's consent, where no permanent damage results, passed the House of Assembly in May 2026.
Sorell, including Midway Point and Dodges Ferry, grew 1.4% in 2024-25, helped by people moving in from elsewhere in Australia, and most homes are owner occupied. The causeway duplication is still waiting on environmental approvals, so we weigh commute times against supply and holding costs before recommending any Sorell suburb.
