Buying a home or investment property can be stressful, time consuming and leave you frustrated you have paid too much. I make it easy and ensure you are comfortable that you have bought the right property in the right place, and that it represents good value. No stress, no hassle.

What My Clients Are Saying

Caitlin Knight

Hiring Scott was the best decision I could have made and I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone considering buying a property in Melbourne.
As a first time home buyer I was clueless of what to do and terrified of auctions. Scott was patient and guided me through every step of the process. He knows everything about the Melbourne property market and honestly seems to know everyone working in the industry which was a huge advantage...

Hannah C

I’m so grateful to Scott for helping me buy my first home.

Before working with Scott, I was looking at apartments and searching in areas that I wasn’t excited about. Scott helped me get an amazing apartment in my ideal location!

He also stopped me from going full steam ahead on properties that seemed good to me but he told me “we can do better” and he was right!

He’s an expert in everything to do with property and the Melbourne market. I definitely wouldn’t have got here on my own – he is a gem!

Scott made the process so much easier and is so dedicated to getting you the best result. Plus great chats and coffee stops along the way 🙂

Thank you, Scott!!

Scott helped me buy my first home, and I am so thankful that I had him on board. He has an incredible knowledge of Melbourne, its suburbs, streets and properties, and an equally incredible network, including access to genuinely off-market properties. He clearly takes pride in securing a great deal for his clients and is a master negotiator. He didn’t let me settle for a mediocre property when I thought I couldn’t afford what I really wanted. He ended up securing an absolute gem for me (my “forever home”!) in my ideal suburb at an outstanding price with zero stress for me. I now have the perfect home for me, which I thought was completely out of reach. What a legend!

Rachelle Delac

Scott the legend helped me buy my first home! I’ve spent years struggling to lock in a property that always had major building issues which made me second guess everything I was doing. Having a great buyers advocate is peace of mind and a good sleep at night. Whenever I had thoughts or concerns, Scott was playing chess and had already considered it 7 moves ago. I’m a bit sad we locked it in so quickly - exploring the neighbourhoods he suggested was actually fun and not a chore, the deep understanding of a suburb profile (financially but also liveability) is what makes Scott an expert in the field!

Marika Graf

Scott was so helpful in assisting me in buying my apartment. He is very knowledgeable, resourceful, enthusiastic and professional. He was very respectful of my needs and guided me very patiently in the whole process of securing my property. Thanks so much Scott and I would highly recommend you to anyone that is looking for some to assist in selling and/or buying a property.

Dave Cartel

Scott is an absolute legend. He helped us find a property during an incredibly challenging time in the market. We had nearly given up and were considering places that would have required significant compromises. However, Scott came through for us by discovering a fantastic house that not only met all our criteria but was also off-market. This allowed us to buy it below market value, securing an excellent price. I enthusiastically recommend him to anyone I encounter who is looking for a home. Frankly, I wouldn't make any future property purchases without him! Scott not only saved us time and money, but he also alleviated a tremendous amount of stress. I am sincerely grateful.

Linda Garnett

Scott hunts down the best value properties like a truffle hound. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of prices, the best streets and the local agents. Scott's advice was comprehensive, frank and genuinely warm. It was a delight to work with Scott and we're thrilled with the results. Before you think about buying a property, get Scott on your team. He'll make the process easy, stress free and successful.

Matthias Brunner

Scott is very passionate about property and architecture (and food :-), efficient, extremely knowledgeable, honest, methodical, well-connected and fun. We bought our dream home in Melbourne whilst living interstate in Sydney. Scott took care of everything, from driving us around in his Mini to showcase the different neighbourhoods in Melbourne, helping us defining our must- and nice-to-have's for a property, organising viewing day trips and successfully securing an amazing property at auction. Scott's experience took the stress out of the process and let us enjoy the time to finding and securing a property. We highly recommend Scott's buyers agent services!

Ray Stephens

We were unsure of using a Buyer's Advocate but now cannot recommend Scott highly enough. Scott worked tirelessly for many months for us, to help us secure an amazing property at a remarkable price. At all times Scott kept us fully informed, gave experienced advice and listened to all of our concerns. We are a lot better off for having used his services. Thank you Scott

V

Scotty recently helped me find a great house, and now we are designing and renovating the place together. Sometimes I think he is almost more excited about the beautiful transformation of the house than what I am! Scotty's passion of the industry, his commitment to every detail, access to an army of property professionals spiced up with his absolute dedication to help his customers through everything in the process of buying and renovating, are such assets. I couldn't recommend his services more.

Kristen Wells

We were initially reluctant to use a buyer’s advocate because of the cost involved. How wrong we were! Based on a recommendation from our banker, we sought the service of Scott. At our initial meeting, Scott proved to be knowledgeable, engaging and enthusiastic. He was able to consolidate our somewhat nebulous ideas into a clear strategic plan for us to purchase an investment property. Over several weeks, Scott looked at numerous properties (greater than 40) saving us countless hours and stress. We bought the second property that he selected for us and it met our criteria perfectly. He bid for us at auction and was spot on with his valuation. After auction, he guided us through the technicalities and legalities in reaching settlement. He has been invaluable in sourcing tradespeople to renovate the property and even recommended a property manager whom he had interviewed personally. His service has simply been extraordinary, and there was no way we would have ever considered buying another property without his involvement and expertise. In fact, just last year, Scott helped us find an apartment for one of our children to purchase. Scott’s thoroughness and attention to detail identified issues with a few of the buildings and body corporates which prevented her from purchasing apartments that on the ‘surface’ looked like an excellent choice-but would have been disastrous. It is highly doubtful we would have picked up on these details if we were depending on ourselves or the estate agent. Scott heard about the apartment our daughter ultimately purchased though his extensive network of connections before it was ever listed on market. He organised an immediate viewing and within 48 hours had negotiated a settlement. He is the consummate professional with absolute integrity-which is not always evident in the real estate market. We cannot recommend Scott highly enough and anticipate using his services when our other daughter is ready to enter the market.

Gina Pearce

Scott was able to find us a very well located property in a very short time frame even though we had scoured the area for months beforehand. Scott has contacts in all the right places which allowed him access to properties that we just didn't know about. We found him very easy to talk to and though his manner and experience was able to get us to define exactly what we were looking for. He met with us weekly armed with photos and his methodical assessment of all properties he'd considered that week and gave us a detailed pros/cons list so that we could make a fully informed decision. Scott's passion for the industry and architecture in general shone through in all our dealings with him and his attention to detail and thoroughness in assessing each property he considered ensured us that we had 'covered all bases'. We would certainly consult with Scott again when we are ready to purchase our next property.

Bridget Bolotin

Scott couldn't have made me a happier buyer!! I moved from the US without knowledge about how the Australian property industry works. I was referred to him by a colleague who knew and trusted him for years. He took care of every part of the process, showing me off market homes, attending viewings when I couldn't, bringing me when I could, going over contracts and finding things about the building that aren't even in the contracts that could make it a bad buy, setting me up with a broker, conveyancer, mover, and when I do renovations, will refer me to his best people. He knows everything about Melbourne real estate. At my first auction I was outbid at, he said beforehand the exact number he thought the house was valued at, and that's exactly what it went for at auction. When I thought I wanted to live in a certain building, he went to every agent who has sold there to see if the owners would sell. When I thought I would have to compromise on location or size, he ended up finding me the most beautiful house in the exact location I wanted with everything I wanted. It was a long shot they would accept my offer as it was below what they were willing to consider, yet somehow Scott convinced them to take it, so I ended up with a home worth quite a lot more than I paid for! If you are looking into buying property, I couldn't recommend Scott more!

Mandy Spink

After almost a year of searching for a suitable unit, I contacted Scott, and within 2 days he had secured me the perfect place, at a price I was happy with, and could not have achieved myself. He managed this whilst considering the vendor and the agent, and kept me informed at every step. His skill, professionalism and pleasant nature made the process quick and stress-free for me. I recommend Scott most highly to any purchaser.

maddy wells

Scott is one of the most knowledgable and honest buyers advocates going around. He helped me purchase an "off market" property in December last year. He put in so much time and effort to find us the perfect space. He made sure all our boxes were ticked and was very professional and patient. It made the process of buying a property much less stressful! Would highly recommend

Grant Lawson

I have known Scott for over 40 years and he is extremely passionate about the things he loves. Working in the property industry is one of his great loves, he gives it 100% and leaves no stone un-turned to get the best result in every deal he is working on. In addition to his tenacity he approaches his work with a dry sense of humour. Everyone dealing with him comes out with a positive result.

Nick Barkla

Scott's care and expertise are second to none. His forensic investigations gave us great confidence, and we couldn't recommended him highly enough. Buying a property can be a stressful business, and Scott turned it into an overwhelmingly positive one. Bravo!

Klara McMurray

Scott was a huge help in assisting me in buying my apartment, finding the best broker for the job, and the conveyancer as well. It was a big relief having him in my corner when I had so little clue of what I was doing!

Anna G

Scott's knowledge of the property market and his connections with agents made the process of buying my first home a lot less stressful. I wouldn't consider buying another property without Scott's advice and skilled negotiation

Guy Obeid

Scott genuinely cares, is damn good at advocating for buyers and goes above and beyond for his clients.
Hooray for Scotty.
✌🏽😊

What’s My Difference & How Does it Help You?

Specialization in a Specific Group of Suburbs

My value to clients is underpinned by specialising in inner city suburbs - only circa 10% of the suburbs in Melbourne. An “all of Melbourne” buyers advocate model does not provide the depth of insights into property values, comparative value between suburbs, local insights etc. Nor does it provide the agent networks to access genuine off market properties.

Honest & Clear Advice

I put my clients interests ahead of my own - always. I’m comfortable challenging my clients thinking to deliver a better outcome. My advice is clear, simply articulated & supported by practical examples.

The Convenience of a Single Person Taking Responsibility

My clients like having one person to deal with for everything. And one person who takes responsibility for everything. The exact opposite of the “joint responsibility is no responsibility” hassle involved with many businesses.

Lateral Approaches to Get the Property You Really Want

For example: Can we do a “cosmetic renovation” so you can afford a house you otherwise could n’t? Are there areas of a neighbouring suburb/s that mirror the amenity & feel of the suburb/property you really want but can’t afford? Should we buy a smaller house in a better suburb that has the ability to be made into a significantly bigger family home longer term? Can the block be subdivided? Can we offer the vendor a solution that enables us to buy the property below market value e.g. sale & leaseback? Can we create a home office via a small external pre-fab dwelling etc, etc?

Access to Others Who Can Help You

Buying well is a team sport. Since starting the business in 2018 I have very carefully curated a “best of breed” team around me inc. but not limited to. conveyancer, building inspector, mortgage broker, town planner, architects, draftsperson, builder & other trades etc - that are highly effective, provide value & are reliable. The only party that ever pays me is my client - I don’t accept financial inducements of any kind to refer my clients to a third party.

Highly Accessible

I’m contactable on my mobile between 7 am - 10 pm seven days a week & earlier/later in you are a client based outside of Australia.
