My partner and I were recommended to go with Zac at Your Australian Property Buyers Agents by our Sydney property agent, to help us purchase an investment property in Melbourne (we do not know Melbourne to buy properties, so we needed an Melbourne expert). We’ve had positive experiences with our Sydney buyers agent and we wanted the same in Melbourne. Zac was extremely thorough and detailed and also extremely efficient - once we’d completed our paperwork detailing exactly what we were after, Zac sent us properties to consider right away and undertook inspections promptly. We were able to purchase our investment property within days and couldn’t be happier. We highly recommend Zac - trust in his process, complete all the onboarding actions and you will get the best property at the best price in the best timeframe. Good buyers agents are worth their weight in gold, and Zac certainly bears this out!

Zac was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout this transaction. His professionalism, clear communication, and commitment to his client were evident from start to finish. He navigated the process with precision, ensuring everything progressed smoothly while maintaining a strong, respectful relationship with all parties involved. Zac’s attention to detail and proactive approach made a real difference in getting the deal across the line efficiently. It’s always refreshing working alongside a buyer’s agent who genuinely understands the market, acts with integrity, and prioritises outcomes for their client while keeping the process seamless for everyone. I look forward to working with Zac again on future transactions. Adam Buhagiar Crane Real Estate
