From managing your entire purchase to stepping in for the negotiation, there's a service to match exactly what you need. All of it built on honest advice and thorough due diligence.
Not everyone needs the same help. Some clients want me to run the whole process from the first conversation to the keys, while others have found a home and just want an expert to secure it without overpaying.
End-to-end support, from strategy and search through to due diligence, negotiation and settlement. For busy professionals and families who want the whole process handled properly.
Found the home yourself? I'll assess its true value, build the strategy and negotiate or bid on your behalf, so you don't overpay under pressure.
If you want the whole process handled, from working out your brief to searching, due diligence and negotiating, that's full-service buyer's advocacy. If you've already found a home and just want expert help to value and secure it, negotiation and auction bidding is the better fit.
And if you're selling your current home as part of the move, vendor advocacy can run alongside either option. The easiest way to work it out is a quick discovery call, where I'll point you to whatever genuinely suits your situation, even if that's not the biggest package.
Yes, and it happens fairly often. Some clients engage me just to bid at an auction, then decide they'd like full support for the next one if they miss out.
If you start with negotiation support and later move to full service, I'll always be upfront about how that works, so you're never paying twice for the same help.
No. I don't accept referral fees or kickbacks from anyone, which is unfortunately common in this industry.
If I recommend a broker, conveyancer or tradesperson, it's because I believe they're genuinely the best fit for the job.
You're always free to use your own trusted people too. Any specialists brought in are paid directly by you, at their cost, with nothing flowing back to me.
Everything from start to finish: strategy and brief development, full agent liaison, searching on and off market, inspections and shortlisting, complete due diligence and valuation, coordinating any trades or specialists, and negotiating or bidding on your behalf.
It also includes the part most people forget, the stretch between signing and settlement. I coordinate the pre-settlement inspection, document the property's condition and make sure nothing is missed before you get the keys.
When you sell, the agent you appoint is already being paid a commission. Vendor advocacy is covered from within that existing commission, so there's no additional cost to you on top.
What you get is an independent expert making sure you choose the right agent, negotiate the right fee and marketing spend, and run a campaign designed around your result, not the agent's convenience.
My goal is the right home, not a quick one, so I'll never push you into a property just to close things out. If the right home isn't there yet, I'll say so, and we keep looking.
If we miss out on a specific property at auction or in a negotiation, that's part of the process, and it often means we avoided overpaying. I'll always be honest about whether a purchase makes sense, and walking away is sometimes the best outcome I can deliver.
These are a few of the buyers I've helped find and secure the right home. Different budgets, different suburbs, the same calm and thorough approach.
The words that come up most often are calm, informed, supported and protected. That's exactly how buying a home should feel.
We needed help with finding a new home. We tried doing it ourselves but it became so challenging. Justin was exceptional from start to finish. From the first phone call, he navigated the entire purchase of our new home with absolute confidence and calm, making what could have been a stressful process feel seamless. From managing conversations with real estate agents to handling negotiations and due diligence, he took ALL the stress off our shoulders. We always felt informed, protected and one step ahead. It was such a relief to have him in our corner! Justin's professionalism, strategic approach and steady guidance gave us total confidence in every decision and ultimately secured a fantastic result at an online Auction. Nothing was ever too hard for Justin, you can ask him anything and that's the difference. We couldn’t recommend Justin more highly.

What a pleasure to have dealt with Justin! We appreciated his insight, guidance and feedback on properties we considered to buy. Having someone in your corner like Justin with his calm demeanour that you could trust and have open honest communication with, was priceless during the stressful time of finding and buying a house during these competitive times. Especially during making offers and negotiations he assisted us with such ease. Thank you Justin! You definitely helped us find and secure our dream home faster and with less stress than if we were to do it on our own. Can't help but feel a bit sad that we won't continue our regular check-ins and chats on our house hunting sessions! Just reach out to Justin and ask your questions, I have no doubt you'll see what I mean

A trusted friend suggested a Buyers Advocate who I spoke with initially, but as he worked outside metro Melbourne, referred me onto trusted friend and colleague. He confirmed that Justin had capacity to work with me. I had bought numerous times on my own in Melbourne but was living several hours out of the city, under intense time pressures, and alarmed by the v high numbers at Opens I had attended. Justin clarified the tasks I wanted him to undertake, promptly researched and inspected two properties on my shortlist, and proceeded to make offers within my limits. I/we succeeded on yet another property, to my delight, which also required multiple offers to succeed. Justin's work saved me many hours time and travel; the increase of his his offers were much lower than I would have expected, so saving me significantly; and he established good rapport with vendors agents so he was able to indirectly "read" expectations of vendors. Justin attended the final inspection with me, checking functional state of house fittings, and liaised with my legal conveyancer. He was happy to provide phone consultation with another family member in a complex auction situation. I move in today! Thank you, Justin.

We recently worked with Justin on a property that we were selling that he successfully secured for his clients. As an agent, it was refreshing to deal with a buyer advocate who communicated so well and I strongly felt that he had his clients best interest in mind. Would highly recommend him to any buyers needing an advocate!

Initially, we resented having to resort to engaging a buyer’s advocate due to the difficulties we experienced trying to deal with real estate agents, shadowy practices in terms of pricing and always being beaten out by deeper pockets and games being played, but having engaged Justin , we soon had real leads that hooked us up with a genuine and honest real estate agent and managed to purchase a property within a month! Justin’s contacts managed to give us access to off market properties,which gave us a chance to compete and eventually secure the property of our dreams. Justin passed our initial quizzing with flying colours , his patience and understanding, and more importantly his ability to listen to us and transpose that into our home was really appreciated. We would highly recommend Justin as a calm, unassuming presence to help lead anyone through this stressful process! Thank you Justin!

He offered valuable advice and truly partnered with me every step of the way, never once trying to push or override my decisions.

Justin is amazing and has saved me lots of time and effort in the process of purchasing my property. He went above and beyond to make the purchase seamless for me, including local market research, buyer due diligence and negotiations with the selling agent. I have been so impressed with Justin that I've also engaged his services as a Selling Advocate for the sale of my current property. I'd highly recommend Justin's services - both as a buyer's agent and also as a seller's advocate.
