A buyers agent in Eastern Suburbs Sydney 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 Eastern Suburbs Sydney 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 Eastern Suburbs Sydney decision is made on evidence, not on a sales pitch.

The Eastern Suburbs is an established market close to the CBD, the Randwick hospitals and UNSW, with a combined target of 8,300 new homes by 2029 and a large state rezoning planned at Edgecliff and Woollahra. We weigh that against supply and holding costs before recommending any Eastern Suburbs 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
