A buyers agent in St George 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 St George 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 St George 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.
St George is a large middle ring of Sydney close to the airport, Port Botany and the Kogarah hospital precinct, and its two councils have a combined target of 16,400 new homes by 2029. We weigh that against supply and holding costs before recommending any St George 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

Georges River and Bayside councils had about 351,700 residents at 30 June 2025, up 1.1% in a year, according to the ABS (March 2026). The NSW Government's 2024 Population Projections (November 2024) put the two councils at about 410,200 by 2041, with Bayside growing fastest.
The NSW Government has set targets of 10,100 new completed homes in Bayside and 6,300 in Georges River by 2029 (NSW Department of Planning). Since 2024, state rules have also allowed apartment buildings of up to 22 metres within 400 metres of Banksia, Rockdale, Kogarah and Turrella stations.
Stage 3 of the St George Hospital redevelopment is worth $411 million and centres on a new nine storey Kensington Street Building at Kogarah. The South Eastern Sydney Local Health District says the building was finished in February 2026 and the remaining works are due in late 2026.
The $3.1 billion M6 Stage 1 from Arncliffe to Kogarah is under construction, with tunnelling about 90% complete. Transport for NSW said in June 2026 that an updated completion timeline will be provided.
