Azure Buyers Agents

Taking inspiration from my grandfather, who built residential homes, I started investing in property in my early 20s, generating wealth through six investment properties I purchased over five years. After a few years of carefully buying and selling homes, my wife and I were able to sell three investment properties from our portfolio to purchase our family home. 

As an experienced property investor, I know how to diversify portfolios. I have purchased property both local to me and interstate. Taking the time to analyse the yields and growth trajectory of homes ahead of making an offer, I held homes in Sydney, Dubbo, Queensland and Tasmania. 

Today, my specialism is finding homes for others in southeast Victoria. There is where I grew up, and it’s where I am raising a family. My knowledge of the suburbs, streets, and lifestyles on offer makes me the best buyers agent to engage in unearthing the property gems across Bayside, Kingston and the Mornington Peninsula.

Director & Buyers Agent

Empower Wealth

Working in this high-volume buyers agency, I averaged 60 to 80 homes purchased yearly. Working alongside ex-selling agents, valuers and mortgage brokers, I became a fully-fledged buyers agent after only 12 months as an associate. I then worked my way up to become the team manager, providing training and development to new associates.

Finding that perfect property is like finding a gemstone. There’s a buzz to being a buyers agent, from unearthing your dream home to navigating the complexities of the property deal. 

Property in southeast Victoria is in strong demand. There are many affordable houses, and the lifestyle on offer is truly enviable. The schools are excellent, and the transport infrastructure allows residents to reach Melbourne City easily by car or train. 

As a well-known buyers agent in the region, I’ve bought homes from Elwood to Mornington. My speciality is finding investment-grade properties (even if clients will live in them themselves). With an extensive network and 1,000+ property professionals in my database, I hear first about off-market properties and can give my clients the first-mover advantage. I am also well-connected with mortgage brokers, selling agents, accountants and financial planners. 

As a buyers agent, I love helping clients refine their strategy and get into a position to move quickly when the right property comes along. I need to understand the client’s budget and price ceiling, and I always advise people to be finance ready (pre-approved for a loan) before making an offer. 

It’s essential for my clients to feel part of the journey, but ultimately, I know my skills and knowledge guide and educate them about an area they often lack expertise in and give them the confidence to move forward with a property purchase.

Everyone can put themselves in a robust financial position and build wealth through property. Engage me as your buyer’s agent, and I will work tirelessly to find the very best property for your budget.
