Lou Lihari, Director and Lead Buyers Agent at LP Advisory

About Lou

Lou has spent over 25 years in Melbourne property. He has been a partner in his own agency, a selling agent and auctioneer, a sales leader running teams in Victoria and interstate, a property manager and a developer. He has built the campaigns, set the reserves and read the room from the rostrum. He knows how the selling side thinks, because for a long time he was the selling side.

That is the advantage he now brings to buyers. When Lou assesses a property, he sees the strategy behind the price guide, the pressure points in a campaign and the moment an agent has room to move. He leads every LP Advisory brief personally, from the first strategy conversation through shortlisting and due diligence to the bidding or negotiation that gets a client over the line.
