Buy with someone who’ll tell you the truth.

Buying with Brian
Not a buyer’s agent, a straight one.
Let’s be clear about roles: I act for sellers, and I’m not a dedicated buyer’s agent. But buyers are half of every sale I make, and the way I work with them is simple: straight answers, no games, and genuine help finding the right property, whether it’s one of mine or not.
Register what you’re looking for and you’ll hear about my listings before they hit the portals, including off-market properties that never will. If you’re buying one of my listings, you’ll get honest information about the process, the competition and the paperwork, before and after settlement.
- Property matching against upcoming and off-market listings
- Straight answers at inspections: condition, competition, process
- Referrals to independent professionals: brokers, inspectors, settlement agents
- No buyer fees, ever
Buyer’s field guide
How to buy well in the riverside south.
Get finance-ready first
Pre-approval turns you from a browser into a bidder. In the tightly held pockets of the inner south, the buyer who can sign this weekend beats the buyer who loves it more.
Learn the micro-markets
Prices shift street by street: river side of the highway, school catchments, strata health. Comparable sales matter more than suburb medians ever will.
Ask the agent real questions
Why are they selling? How long has it been listed? Any offers yet? A good agent answers honestly, and how they answer tells you plenty.
Do the diligence
Building and pest inspections, strata records, title checks. Use independent professionals, appointed by you. I’ll point you to good ones; I don’t sell those services.
Make clean offers
Fewer conditions and realistic timelines make your number stronger than a higher, messier one. Structure wins negotiations more often than buyers realise.
Move decisively
The riverside south is tightly held. Quality homes can sell in the first week. When the right one appears, hesitation is the most expensive bid of all.
