Question 1

What is a buyer's agent?

Accepted Answer

A buyer's agent (also known as a buyers advocate) provides comprehensive support and expert guidance across all parts of homebuying - from search and shortlist to due diligence to expert negotiation and auction strategy. With our deep understanding of property, you'll save valuable time and stress while giving yourself a significant advantage in the buying process. You also get access to exclusive investor-grade data, detailed appraisals, off-market properties where available, and more. Whether you're searching for your dream home or an investment property, we're with you every step of the way.

Question 2

Why should I use a buyer's agent?

Accepted Answer

Save time: We find property for our clients in a median of 25 days. That's much faster than the Australian average of 6 to 9 months. Plus, save valuable time spent searching and fielding real estate agent calls. Save money: Our buyer's agents draw on their extensive knowledge to appraise your target property, so you don't overpay. They also shield you from manipulative sales tactics and emotional decisions. As negotiation and auction experts, we know exactly what strategies work to secure better property deals and lower purchase prices. Save stress: If you've been missing out on properties or find dealing with selling agents stressful, our buyer's agents make the property purchase process much less overwhelming.

Question 3

How accurate is the median price data shown?

Accepted Answer

The median prices come from recent sales data, but here's the thing: medians can be misleading. A suburb's median might be $1.2M, but the range could span $900K to $2M depending on the street, block size, and condition. That's why we appraise every property individually using comparable sales, recent auction results, and what we're seeing agents accept right now. Our clients don't guess - they make informed decisions and know exactly what a property is worth before they offer.

Question 4

What does the price growth percentage mean for me?

Accepted Answer

It shows how the suburb has performed historically in terms of capital growth. But growth isn't evenly distributed. Some pockets outperform, others lag. Some streets have development upside, others have noise or planning issues that limit growth. We track these micro-markets closely. Our goal is to help you buy the right property in the right pocket, not just the right suburb.

Question 5

Do you only help with houses, or units too?

Accepted Answer

We help find and purchase existing residential property of all types: houses, units, apartments, townhouses, villas. The due diligence changes depending on the property type. With units, we dig into strata reports, check for special levies, review building defects history, and assess the owners corporation. With houses, we focus on structural condition, land value and conditions. Either way, you get suburb data, professional reports, and expert valuations so you're making your property purchase with full visibility.

Question 6

Do you help first home buyers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and we love working with first-time property buyers. While we regularly work with investors and those buying in their self-managed super fund, helping first home buyers purchase their dream home has always been our bread and butter. We know the process can feel overwhelming: price guides, cooling-off periods, Section 32s, strata levies. We translate the jargon and walk you through every step. Our job is to set you up for success for the long term and help you buy a new home that actually fits your needs.

Question 7

What if I want to buy as an investment?

Accepted Answer

We have a dedicated investment property service built for this. You get capital growth forecasts, rental yield analysis, vacancy rates, and suburb comparisons so you can see the numbers before you commit. We've helped investors buy properties that outperform the real estate market. We're not here to sell you a property, but to help you navigate the options confidently so you can make informed decisions you're proud of. If the numbers don't stack up, we'll tell you.

Question 8

Can you help me compete against other buyers?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely - this is where we shine. Buying property in Australia is adversarial. Selling agents work for the vendor, not you. Price guides are often deliberately low to drive competition. Auction tactics are designed to push you past your limit. We level the playing field for property buyers. We handle all agent communications, build your offer strategy, and negotiate or bid on your behalf. You don't have to deal with the pressure. Our clients walk in knowing what a property is worth and what it takes to win, without overpaying.

Question 9

Can you bid at auction for me?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Auctions are high-pressure by design. The auctioneer's job is to push you past your limit. Emotional decisions happen fast, and overpaying by $50K or $100K is more common than you think. We take the emotion out of it. We set a clear ceiling based on comparable sales and what the property is reasonably worth. Then we bid on your behalf, calmly and strategically. We know when to open strong, when to hold back, and when to walk away.

Question 10

What if a property I like sells before I can act?

Accepted Answer

Speed wins in the real estate market. Good properties get snapped up fast, especially in competitive suburbs. That's why we move quickly. We're actively hunting every day, not just waiting for Saturday listings. We coordinate inspections, due diligence, and finance in parallel alongside your mortgage broker, conveyancer and financial advisor - not one after another. Our average time to purchase is one month. That's 9x faster than the typical buyer who spends 6 to 9 months searching.

Question 11

Do you buy off-market properties?

Accepted Answer

Every year we find and purchase tens of off-market and pre-market properties. Each week, we're in touch with hundreds of agents across Peach Property and we're tapped into the off-market databases. Both our Full Service and Investor options include property search and shortlist, and our search process includes both marketed properties and off-market opportunities to find your ideal property.

Question 12

How do I know Peach has experience in this area?

Accepted Answer

Our secret sauce is that we're data nerds. Each year, we invest hundreds of thousands into gathering data: pricing trends, days on market, agent track records, off-market flow, what's actually selling vs what's just listed. Since 2023, our buyer's agency has helped 1,075+ property buyers purchase across Australia - 338 in 2025 alone. That's thousands of transactions worth of pattern recognition that no individual buyer could build on their own.

Question 13

How much does Peach cost?

Accepted Answer

It's a fixed fee service, so there's no incentive to bump the price. $500 to get started, fully refundable. You pay the rest when we successfully buy your new home. Don't buy a property? Don't pay a cent. Fixed-fee pricing means we're motivated to get you the right property at the right price, not the most expensive one.

Question 14

What's the next step?

Accepted Answer

Book a free 15 minute consultation - whether you're a first-time buyer or experienced investor. We'll ask about your goals, budget, and timeline. You'll walk away knowing exactly what buying in this suburb looks like, what you can afford, and whether Peach is the right fit for your property journey. No prep required. No obligation. And if we're not right for you, we'll tell you straight.
