Boroondara Buyers Advocate

After spending around three months searching for a home, I found myself exhausted by the process – hours each week scrolling through REA, and Saturdays spent racing from one inspection to the next (often trying to be in two places at once). After being outbid at an auction, and with only two months until settlement on my current home, I decided it was time to get some professional help – and that’s when I engaged Chris Guest. From the moment he stepped in, Chris took complete control of the process. Within just a few days, he was presenting me with off-market opportunities that I never would have found on my own. As a time-poor business owner, having Chris attend inspections on my behalf and provide his honest, analytical appraisals was invaluable. With his help, I purchased a property within just four weeks. Interestingly, it wasn’t a listing that initially excited me when viewing online – but I trusted Chris’ judgement enough to take a closer look. I’m so glad I did. While no home is ever truly perfect, this one comes pretty close. Chris saw potential that I completely missed and helped me envision how a few non-structural changes could really elevate the home. Chris crafted a strong, strategic pre-auction offer and managed the negotiation with skill and transparency, keeping me informed every step of the way. I’ve always been somewhat sceptical of buyers advocates and the potential for conflicting interests, but I can say with absolute confidence that Chris was firmly on my side throughout. What stood out most was Chris’ deep knowledge of the Stonnington area, his genuine relationships with local agents (which gave us clear insight into vendor expectations), and his thorough Sales and Due Diligence reports – something I particularly appreciated as an analytical person. His professionalism, judgement, and negotiation expertise ultimately helped me secure a fantastic property in the exact location I wanted, and at a price I’m confident would have been higher without his guidance. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Chris to anyone who wants to buy with confidence and clarity.

We were extremely happy with the service we received from BuyerX. Our buyers advocate, Chris Guest, was exceptionally professional and knowledgeable. He saved us a great deal of time and effort by handling the bulk of the research, and his extensive experience in the property market was clearly reflected in the high quality of his insights and recommendations. Chris’s polite nature and consistent communication made the entire process smooth and stress-free along with the value of a good coffee after each inspection! Thank you once again, Chris, for all the hard work you put into helping our son secure his first property.

I had the pleasure of working with Chris as my buyer's advocate, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, Chris was professional, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the property market and local area. He took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for, was always available to talk, and kept me well-informed throughout the entire process. His responsiveness and clear communication made everything smooth and stress-free. Most importantly, Chris successfully negotiated the purchase price on my new apartment, saving me both time and money. I’m truly grateful for his support and expertise. Thank you, Chris, for all your hard work. I would highly recommend your services to anyone looking to purchase property with confidence.

As an interstate vendor it was important to have eyes and feet on the ground in Melbourne to help with the selling process. Chris was extremely helpful and professional in managing every step of the process from selection of agent and conveyancer, styling, and communication during the sales campaign. He went above and beyond in helping with annoying but important issues such as power connection, cleanliness for the open for inspection and key management. Highly recommend.
