Two qualifications most buyers agents simply do not have.

10+ years as a selling agent. Now he fights for buyers.

Richard spent over a decade as a sales agent at Ray White and Century 21, Australia's two largest real estate networks. He earned Premier Member status at Ray White as a top performer. He was professionally trained in negotiation, objection handling and reading vendor psychology. He knows when a vendor will accept less. He knows when "another offer" is real. He knows every tactic used against buyers, because he used them. Now that knowledge works exclusively for you.

Qualified mortgage broker and former ANZ Lending Manager.

Property and finance strategy, from one person.

Most buyers agents hand you off to a broker and hope for the best. Richard is a qualified mortgage broker who worked as a Lending Manager at ANZ. He can look at your borrowing capacity, loan structure and investment strategy from day one, aligning every property decision with your financial picture. You get a buyers agent and a finance strategist in one. Almost no one else in this market offers that combination.

The questions buyers usually ask before calling.

"Is it worth paying for a buyers agent?"

Richard's clients regularly save $20,000 to $30,000 on the purchase price through his negotiation alone. That typically exceeds the entire service fee. Beyond price, you get access to off-market properties, independent due diligence and someone whose legal obligation is entirely to you.

"I'm in Sydney but want to buy in Brisbane or Melbourne."

This is one of Richard's most common client profiles. He handles all inspections and due diligence on the ground so you never need to be there in person. He actively covers Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne and understands what separates a sound investment in each market.

"I haven't sorted my finance yet. Is it too early to call?"

Not at all. It is the best time to call. As a qualified mortgage broker and former ANZ Lending Manager, Richard can help you understand your capacity and structure before you start searching. Getting finance strategy right from the start shapes everything else.

Richard works with a limited number of clients at any one time. Here's how to know if that should be you.

This service is right for you if...

You are actively looking to buy a property in Sydney, Brisbane or Melbourne within the next 6 months
You are a first home buyer in Sydney who wants professional guidance through the entire process
You are an investor based in Sydney looking to buy in Brisbane or Melbourne without flying interstate for every inspection
You have a budget of $500,000 or above and want a qualified professional negotiating on your behalf
You understand that paying a flat service fee to save $20,000 to $30,000 on the purchase price is a sound investment
You want one person who handles both the property strategy and the finance strategy, not two separate advisers

This may not be the right fit if...

You are still 12+ months away from buying and not yet ready to commit to a search
You are looking for free general property advice with no intention to purchase in the near term
You already have a specific property under contract and only need help at the final stage
You are looking to purchase below $500,000
You want to conduct the negotiations yourself and prefer a purely advisory role

Real clients. Real numbers.

The value Richard promises, brought to life by the people who experienced it.

Questions worth asking before you decide.

Anything left unanswered, bring it to the free strategy call.

A buyer's agent (or buyer's advocate) works exclusively for you: the buyer. Unlike a selling agent whose legal obligation is to the vendor, Richard's entire job is to find you the right property, negotiate the best price, and protect your interests throughout the process.

For most buyers, professional negotiation alone recovers the fee, often multiple times over. Richard's background as a selling agent means he understands negotiation from the inside. Beyond price, a buyer's agent saves you significant time and protects you from costly mistakes that are easy to miss without experience.

Absolutely. This is one of Richard's most common client profiles. Investors based in Sydney targeting Brisbane or Melbourne is a core service. Richard handles all inspections and due diligence on the ground so you don't need to be there in person.

Not at all. In fact, the earlier the better. As a qualified mortgage broker with ANZ lending experience, Richard can help you understand your borrowing capacity and structure from the start, which shapes the entire property strategy. This dual expertise is one of the key reasons clients choose him.

The total fee is split across three milestones: $4,000 at signing (to activate the search), a second instalment when the first property inspection occurs and the final payment when the deal goes unconditional. This structure is designed to make professional buyer representation genuinely accessible.

Richard actively works across Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. Sydney is the primary market, with Brisbane and Melbourne available for investors. He also assists Perth-based clients in specific circumstances. Reach out to discuss.

I spent 10 years helping vendors win. Then I couldn't watch buyers lose anymore.

I started my career as a real estate sales agent. I was trained by Ray White and Century 21, and I got good at it. I learned how to negotiate, how to read a buyer's emotion, how to hold a price under pressure. I became a Premier Member at Ray White. It's a competitive network and I was proud of that.

But the longer I did it, the more I saw the same thing over and over. Buyers walking into negotiations completely unprepared, going up against agents who do this every single day. Paying more than they needed to. Not because the property was worth it but because no one was in their corner who understood what was actually happening.

I also qualified as a mortgage broker and went on to work as a Lending Manager at ANZ. I wanted to understand the finance side properly, not just refer clients elsewhere. What I found was that most buyers were getting property strategy and finance strategy from two completely separate people who never talked to each other.

So I switched sides. I set up Richard Property Adviser to represent buyers exclusively, using everything I had learned from the other side. The negotiation skills. The vendor psychology. The finance knowledge. All of it, working for buyers instead of against them.

If you are buying in Sydney or Brisbane or investing interstate, I would love to speak with you. The first call is free and I will come prepared with specific advice for your situation.
