I recently had the pleasure of working with Hugo on a transaction and found him to be professional, and extremely easy to work with throughout the process. Hugo's communication was excellent, he always acted in the clients' best interests and helped ensure the transaction progressed smoothly from start to finish. I would happily work with Hugo again and would confidently recommend him to both buyers and industry professionals alike.

Absolutely fantastic service - both professional and personalised. I would absolutely use these guys again and would recommend them to anyone who is looking to buy a home, has limited time and is thinking about a Buyers Agent to help them - worth every penny (after deliberating for quite some time prior to engaging them as to whether I should use one). Thank you Jason, Tori & the team; you made the daunting experience of buying my first home easy, informative and actually quite a lot of fun :) [On a personal note, special thanks to Tori for being, what seemed like, my own personal property realtor expertly guiding me around numerous houses to find the right amount of quirkiness and functionality plus a sea view of course! tick; and to Jason for doing an outstanding job at 3 separate auctions not forgetting all the team in the background.]

Bought for clients living overseas

BoughtUnited States → Peregian Beach

Ocean view family home secured in Peregian Beach

Starting point. A family of five relocating from the US needed a home with a premium coastal lifestyle, close to their children's school. Their brief was beachfront or expansive ocean views.

Our role. After an extensive search, we identified a move-in-ready home that matched the brief and secured it on their behalf.

Outcome. An ocean view family home in Peregian Beach, close to beaches, local amenities and schools.

"We engaged Jason and the team to help us purchase our family home from abroad. The team was always helpful and fast to reply to our queries and requests (of which there were quite a few!) and was a pleasure to deal with. Being overseas and not being able to physically see any properties, we felt safe in the team's hands as they helped us navigate the super hot property market on the Sunshine Coast. We are thrilled with our recent purchase and can't wait to call it home. Thanks Jason and the team for making this potentially daunting task a smooth and seamless one."

Frequently asked questions

Can I buy property in Australia while I'm living overseas?

Yes, eligible buyers can search, purchase and settle remotely. Whether you can buy a particular property depends on your citizenship, residency and purchase structure. Australian citizens living abroad generally do not need foreign investment approval. Foreign persons face restrictions, including a general ban on buying established homes, with limited exceptions. Confirm eligibility with your solicitor before committing.

How does a buyers agent help if I can't inspect myself?

We provide video inspections and written assessments, and coordinate checks such as flood risk, planning overlays and available building records. Specialist building and pest inspections and your solicitor's searches provide further checks. Choosing a buyers agent Australia overseas buyers can rely on means having someone assess the details locally.

Which area is right for me?

Start with your budget, lifestyle, work, schools and timing. Explore our five location guides above, then we'll help narrow your search to suitable suburbs and streets.

How does buying a house in Queensland work?

Confirm finance, obtain legal advice, make an offer or bid at auction, complete the contract requirements and settle. Many private residential contracts have a five-business-day cooling-off period, subject to exceptions; auctions do not. Building and pest checks should happen before auction bidding, or within agreed contract conditions for a private purchase. Your buyers agent Queensland team coordinates with your advisers. Central Coast purchases follow NSW rules.

What does a buyers agent cost?

Our fee structure includes an initial engagement payment and a success fee. We explain the amount, payment timing, inclusions and any separate costs before you engage us. Whether you need a buyers agent Brisbane service or support elsewhere, your proposal sets out the scope. Email us to enquire about fees →

Can you work across time zones?

Yes. Tell us your location and availability so we can agree suitable call times and communication arrangements with your buyers agent QLD team.
