I help you select and manage the agent best suited to your property and area, rather than the one with the slickest pitch, and negotiate their commission and marketing spend on your behalf.
I keep an eye on the campaign as it runs, giving you independent advice on pricing and strategy, so decisions are made in your interest rather than for the agent's convenience.
I coordinate the stakeholders and guide you through the contract and settlement, so selling feels as calm and structured as buying with me does.
The gap between a strong agent and an average one can be significant, both in the price achieved and the stress along the way. I help you choose well from the start.
Because I negotiate these regularly, I can often secure a fairer commission structure and marketing spend than most people would manage on their own.
Since I'm not the one selling your home, I can give you a straight second opinion on pricing, offers and strategy throughout the campaign.
For clients upgrading or downsizing, I can manage both sides of the move, so buying and selling stay coordinated and far less stressful. That's exactly what I did for a family in Vermont.
You'll always know what's happening next. Here's how we move from first conversation to the keys in your hand.
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!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Justin for the first time to secure a home. From the outset, the process showed signs of being a bit complex, and I knew I didn’t want to navigate it alone. Justin was absolutely fantastic—attentive, thoughtful, and incredibly supportive throughout. He offered valuable advice and truly partnered with me every step of the way, never once trying to push or override my decisions. I highly recommend Justin to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, respectful, and genuinely caring professional.

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.
