Ed and Kate were an invaluable resource helping us navigate purchasing a new home. They are very knowledgeable and hard working, we were able to gain access to many more properties off market, so we could make a more informed decision.

I can not recommend Ed and Kate highly enough as Buyers Agents all the way through from their service proposal right through to the post property purchase experience. Their knowledge of the area and of property assessments were very helpful. They also kept the emotion out and it was great to have them as the bridge between the agents and the vendors. We were able to purchase a fantastic property at an exceptional price and the upside far exceeded the financial investment in their services. We would not hesitate to use them again and have been referring them to loads of our friends and associates since.

Chris' expertise as a buyer advocate was instrumental in helping us secure our dream 4-bedroom family home in Boroondara. His deep knowledge of the Hawthorn, Kew, Camberwell, and Canterbury areas proved invaluable. Chris's relationships with local agents gave us access to off-market properties, ultimately leading to our perfect find. Over five months, Chris provided firm yet friendly advice, patiently answering our countless questions about various properties. His negotiation skills were impressive - he managed to reduce the vendor's expectations significantly, securing the property just below our budget and at an excellent price for the area. We were particularly impressed by Chris' strategic approach. His familiarity with local real estate agents and market dynamics helped us make compelling offers. We were surprised to hear the vendor describe Chris as 'really tough' - a testament to his ability to advocate firmly on our behalf while maintaining a friendly demeanor with us. Chris' experience in Boroondara, combined with his approachable nature and tenacity in negotiations, made our home-buying journey smoother than we ever expected. We wholeheartedly recommend Chris to anyone looking to purchase in the area.

Having looked to purchase our first home for over 2 years without success, Chris and BuyerX were recommended to us by a friend. Chris' impact was immediately noticeable. Chris was diligent, took the load off of us inspecting properties and dealing with agents, was honest and open when he didn't think a property met our expectations and priorities (even if we thought it did!), and was incredibly proactive and patient with us. We also learned very quickly that real estate is very much a relationships game, and Chris has all the relationships with all the agents. This turned out to be invaluable for arranging private inspections (often on short notice), and providing information on pre-auction offers that we otherwise would not have had access to and which ultimately led to our first purchase off market in our dream suburb despite a highly competitive process. We would not have been able to purchase our home without Chris, and could not recommend him and the team at BuyerX more highly.

Chris appeared on our behalf for an auction just before Easter for a property that was very popular and we were very keen on. Along with his colleague, Tim Picken, we had discussed the auction strategy at length and on Saturday morning it was all about execution. Chris’ demeanour from the outset was focussed and conveyed that he was there to win. And win he did! His bidding was strong and confident but controlled in that he secured the property for us at a reasonable price and well within the budget we had given him. Needless to say we were very pleased with the outcome.

We had absolutely no idea just what a ‘buyer advocate’ did when it was suggested that we should engage such a person! We were referred to Chris Guest. From our first interaction, Chris provided us with a professional, attentive and extremely knowledgeable service. We were moving from a large rural property to Melbourne and our ideas for what we wanted to purchase and where we wanted to settle were very confused! The initial due diligence and preliminary discussions were most important and helped to consolidate for us what we might be looking for. Chris exhibited extraordinary patience and tolerance with us as we finally came to a decision to purchase. We sincerely appreciated Chris’ absolute commitment to regular communication, his delightful and collegial manner, his forensic diligence towards all aspects of the properties including street, building and precinct assessments, and researching the relevant complexities of the local government regulations and future plans as they impacted the building. We were confident when we came to submitting an offer that it represented a fair price due to Chris’ comprehensive review of relevant past sales within the current market. Most importantly, after the acceptance of our offer, Chris continued to provide us with important support in negotiating all aspects of the final details to occupancy. I am now fully cognisant of the role of a buyer advocate and will be encouraging anyone wanting a successful and timely property purchase that is also extremely enjoyable to engage Chris Guest.

Hamada from BuyerX Inner West is an absolute weapon. Buying our first property on our own was like constantly opening a can of worms and took us too much time to get up and running. The first call with Hamada instantly gave myself and my partner direction and clear mindset toward where we should be focussing. We bought within a couple of months of low stock levels. Hamada is passionate, patient and incredibly knowledgeable. He was so invested in getting good outcome. There was no task too small and even put up with calls and messages every day. It was a pleasure sharing the experience with him. He's just a good, good person... and the perfect one to have by our side in the journey of making the biggest purchase of our life. Also, if you haven't seen him in auction on the auction floor, check out his Instagram. I would NOT want to bid against him. My sister in law was standing behind the under bidders and they were being warned by the people they were with before the auction started. His reputation is warranted.

This is the second time we have engaged Hamada and we could not be happier in doing so. Our brief was for a very specific location on a set budget. He was very responsive and we could contact him at any time (he must not sleep!). Hamada did a fantastic job in working and negotiating with numerous agents in the area. He provided us with off and pre-market opportunities. We ended up going to auction and he did an amazing job securing the property. I must say without his bidding strategy we would not have secured our dream property. We cannot recommend his services enough and would highly encourage anyone wanting to secure their dream home to engage him!

I purchased a property in 2019 with the help of Nuno from BuyerX. The market was changing quickly in mid-2019 and the idea of dragging myself around each weekend looking at multiple properties quickly became stale and tiring. Nuno was incredibly knowledgeable about the inner north property market and considered all my personal preferences so I only saw quality properties which met my needs. In the end the property I purchased was off-market, so I would not have had the opportunity to buy had I not used his services. Nuno took care of the negotiations and most of the paperwork and I’m now happily settled in East Brunswick. If I ever move house again, I would definitely call on Nuno’s assistance to take some of the pressure off buying and ensure I ended up with a suitable, high quality home and a sound investment.

Mariella and I wanted to say thanks for all your hard work on securing Charman Rd for us. We’re rapt with the outcome and can’t wait to get started on the new build. We really saw the benefit and value in having you bid/ negotiate for us and would happily recommend you to anyone else we know in the market.

Nuno and Kelly were great in helping me to find a property. Nuno’s knowledge of the market is fantastic, and he has an eagle eye for good properties coming onto the market. Nuno and Kelly were thoroughly professional and did a great job on auction day to get the house at a good price. I very much recommend them.

As first home buyers, we were pretty reluctant to spend cash set aside for the deposit on a buyers agent. After spending months of not even coming close to closing a deal, once we engaged Hamada our pre-auction offers were suddenly being taken seriously by real estate agents. It was surprising how many off-or-pre market opportunities we weren’t seeing and it was also great to get a look in at these before the general public. Hamada was able to negotiate a good price on the house we went on to buy, easily offsetting the cost of his fee and then some, in comparison to what it would’ve probably gone for at auction. We would certainly recommend Hamada and the BuyerX team to others. Hamada was really easy to work with and we appreciated the transparent and seamless approach he took throughout the process.

My recent experience with BuyerX was nothing short of phenomenal. From start to finish, Julio & Hamada were the consummate professionals. They were inquisitive, eager to tease out what my key requirements for my new home were and separate out the essentials from the nice-to-have elements. They applied great judgement weeding out properties that on paper fit my brief but in reality would have been the wrong property. Julio & Hamada’s strong relationships with Real Estate agencies uncovered homes for me to review before other prospective buyers to help avoid having to waste time at Open Houses. Finally, they negotiated the best outcome for me when purchasing a property off-market to ensure I secured the home at the best possible price.

As first-time ‘upgraders’, working with Julio and Hamada gave us the confidence to sell and buy in an uncertain market. As always, Hamada listened to what we wanted, worked closely with us to provide options, and guided us through each step of the way with consistently sound advice.

We recently engaged Hamada to act as a buyer’s agent for us in our purchase of a property in Sydney. We are based in Brisbane and due to Covid-19 travel restrictions, we were unable to travel to Sydney to view prospective properties, which was a nerve-wracking prospect. We found Hamada to be incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and reliable in our search for the right property. He was very easy to communicate with and happy to share his knowledge with us and answered our questions promptly. He attended many viewings and auctions, often recording a walkabout of the properties or doing a live FaceTime showing of the properties without missing a beat. He also has very good relationships with many agents – we cannot recommend Hamada highly enough.

My husband and I debated on whether a buyers agent would be a worthwhile investment for us. We are organised, decisive and had plenty of time to hunt. After high recommendations we made the right decision to bring Hamada onboard. We started watching the inner west property market closely around September 2020 and by the time our finance was organised and approved the market had erupted into an unprecedented frenzy. Hamada helped keep our expectations realistic. He offered invaluable guidance in an ever changing market. Hamada is organised and great with communication. He’s also down to earth and good company. Avoiding busy Saturday inspections with our two young children was another huge benefit . In the end we got the house we wanted for a far better price than expected thanks to Hamada and his strong auction strategy. Highly recommend.

Ashleigh and I would like to thank you for your help and extreme professionalism in helping us to secure a property. You were incredibly dedicated and approachable at any time of day or night and always immediately responsive to texts and emails. You guided us through what can be a daunting process but most importantly really took the time to understand what we were looking for as evidenced by the fact we were happy to look at and purchase a high percentage of the properties your presented to us. Your guidance as to value and your understanding of the market helped us narrow that down and made the process of identifying and purchasing the final property very painless. Finally, the dedication in seeing the sales and settlement process through was incredibly helpful. I look forward to doing it again in the not too distant future.

David is what I’d always hoped a buyers agent would be. He is data driven, very understanding of personal needs (family types, income situation), and patient – it always felt like he was with us for the journey, rather than pushing us to buy quickly. As overseas buyers, we loved his accessibility via whatsapp and happiness to chat through our changing scenarios on a weekly basis. Ultimately, however, it was his persistence to the task which made the difference. He literally visited every property with our criteria over a period of 11 months, many off market and immediately provided pricing and suitability advice so that we were always up to speed. It was as close as possible to us being on the ground. Then when it came time to buy he mobilised, had a plan and made an offer which effectively closed off other buyers. Since the transaction he has supported us with settlement, design discussions and any other related admin. People talk about building a great team and finding a ‘trusted advisor’. That’s what you get with David.

As our buyer’s agent, David knew how to negotiate a very convoluted and protracted process, completely foreign to us (and we’re hardly first home buyers), before managing to secure our dream home against some very fierce competition. We’ve never used a buyer’s agent before; now we can’t imagine ever buying without one. And our choice would be David again, without hesitation.

We would like to say a big thank you to Nuno for guiding us through the property purchasing journey! We were apprehensive about buying a property from interstate, but Nuno made the process much easier. Nuno is a very responsive communicator and his years of experience and local knowledge gave us confidence in his advice. We would absolutely recommend Nuno as a buyer’s agent and would use his services again for future purchases.

We had a great experience with Nuno. He is clearly well respected and known within the property market and well liked by his peers and clients. We didn’t want to rush a purchase and he patiently worked with us on a variety of options to get to a result we were absolutely thrilled with. The house and purchase process has superseded our expectations. Nuno understood our taste and needs intimately. We would definitely work with him again and cannot recommend him enough.

Nuno, we just wanted to say thank you again for your work with us on our purchase. You were very easy to work with and made the whole process much less stressful than it would have been if we were on our own. We knew were were in safe hands when you were negotiating and bidding on our behalf. As Paul noted the other day, it is very unlikely that we would have even looked at that property if you hadn’t shown it to us and we are very happy with the purchase. In particular, there was no way we could have secured the property for a good price pre-auction while driving around country Victoria!

From the first conversation my wife and I had with Nuno, we knew we were in the best hands. We were super grateful for all of his expert knowledge and guidance in areas we knew very little about regarding properties. He took the time the get to know us and find out what we valued in a family home and steered us clear of anything that wouldn’t suit our needs. He’s friendly, personable and has a great sense of humour which helps make what can be a lengthy and stressful situation much more enjoyable.

I cannot speak highly enough of the service David provides. He is an exceptional agent, with phenomenal knowledge. He is calm and conscientious in his approach and manner with excellent communication skills. I truly believe he would never settle for anything less than the right property, which makes him unique as he treats it as a personal project and if it’s not good enough for him than it’s not good enough for his client. He has a unique and honest approach and I have found him to be a breath of fresh air and someone I truly trust.

Thank you BuyerX for a wonderful experience! You took care of the whole property purchasing process for us from your extensive search within our parameters to conducting our due diligence and reviewing contracts to closing the sale at auction so gracefully- thank you Nuno!! Once we had you on board our only job was to decide whether we liked the property. Thank you for all your hard work and patience with us given the current dynamic housing market.

Hamada is the bomb and unrivalled. He is generous with his time and knowledge, is exceedingly thorough and has expert knowledge of all aspects of the business. I was increasingly confused searching on my own and he listened so carefully and focused the search with zero intrusiveness. Within a month I had realised all my goals. Hamada is an extremely competent professional and a very decent human being. I highly recommend him!
