Need a property?

We will listen in details about your property requirements and goals you are trying to achieve. After learning about your needs, we create a plan/strategy for your property success.

Search for properties

Many properties are publicly advertised for sale, many are not. Approximately 20% of the properties that we purchase are Off Market. Our Buyer Agents have extensive Real Estate Networks to give you access to more properties than those simply advertised on the internet.

Research & value

Once a suitable property has beed identified, we will conduct due diligence and ax extensive report which includes an appraisal of the property’s market value. A property negotiation should never commence without this step being completed thoroughly.

Negotiate & deliver

Our team implements tough negotiation strategies, putting you in the “Box Seat” to secure the property. Whether it’s at Auction, negotiated before Auction or Private Sale, we strive to get you best possible price.

What our clients say

Frequently asked questions

How does Elite Buyer Agents support buyers who can't be present in Melbourne?

We manage the entire process on your behalf — from property search and inspections to due diligence reporting and negotiation. We provide detailed written assessments and video walkthroughs so you can make fully informed decisions without needing to travel.

Can I legally purchase Australian property as an expat or foreign resident?

Australian citizens living abroad can generally purchase property without restriction. Foreign nationals and temporary residents are required to obtain approval from the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) before purchasing. Elite Buyer Agents can guide you through what applies to your situation and connect you with legal advisers experienced in cross-border transactions.

How do you handle time zone differences with interstate or overseas clients?

We work around your schedule. Most of our communication with interstate and expat clients is handled via email, video call, and written reporting — so you stay fully informed at every stage regardless of where you are or what time it is.

Do you work with buyers purchasing in Melbourne from interstate Australian cities?

Yes. We regularly assist buyers based in Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, and other cities who are investing in the Melbourne market. We handle everything locally so you don’t need to fly in — and our off-market access means you’re not limited to what you can find searching portals from a distance.
