Prestige property in Melbourne

A luxury buyers agent in Melbourne

At the top of the market, the best homes rarely reach a portal, comparable sales are scarce, and a single misjudgement is expensive. Buying well here is about access, discretion and independent judgement. We represent you alone, quietly, from the first conversation to settlement.

Access and discretion at the top of the market

Prestige homes are often sold silently, agent to agent, before any campaign begins. A selling agent works for the vendor. We work only for you, and our relationships across Melbourne’s prestige network mean we hear about the right homes early and privately.

Just as importantly, we protect your privacy throughout, so your interest and your position are never on display.

“

At this level, the home you never knew was for sale is often the one worth buying.

The LP Advisory approach
How we secure the right home

A private, considered process

Measured, discreet and thorough, so you buy the right home at the right price without your hand ever being shown.

01

A confidential brief

We take the time to understand exactly what you are looking for, your priorities, and the discretion the search requires.

02

A private, off-market search

We draw on our network to source prestige homes, including silent listings that never reach the market.

03

Private inspections

We arrange and attend viewings on your terms, and assess each home honestly on quality, provenance and long-term value.

04

Independent valuation and due diligence

Comparable sales are thin at this level, so our judgement on true value, and on what is worth paying, is where we earn our fee.

05

Strategic negotiation

We negotiate at auction or in private, without emotion, to secure the home at the right price and on the right terms.

Why buyers choose LP Advisory

The whole team on your side

You work with our full team, discreetly. Lou, a former selling agent and auctioneer, understands exactly how prestige campaigns and auctions are run, and how to win them. Sharyn specialises in off-market property and the quiet corners of the market where the best homes trade.

You have one trusted point of contact throughout.

At this level

What matters at the top of the market

The advantages that decide a prestige purchase are rarely about price alone.

01

Off-market and silent listings

A large share of prestige property changes hands without ever being advertised. Access to those homes, and early, is the single biggest advantage a buyer can have.

02

Discretion and privacy

High-value purchases attract attention. We keep your identity and intentions private, and manage the process so nothing is exposed that does not need to be.

03

Judgement in a thin market

At the top end, comparable sales are scarce and asking prices are unreliable. Independent, experienced judgement on true value protects you from overpaying.

04

Scarcity and resale

The best homes in the best streets are tightly held and rarely trade. Buying the right one, not simply an available one, protects both your enjoyment and your long-term position.

I was flat out with work and had neither the time nor the resources to house hunt, and not being local made the Melbourne market hard to understand. Lou and Alana were incredibly professional and took care of every single detail, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. They found my home in just 11 days! I'd wholeheartedly recommend LP Advisory to friends and family who want to actually enjoy finding their perfect place.

I can’t recommend Lou and Alana from LP Advisory highly enough! They helped me secure my dream Melbourne apartment and, along the way, educated me on the property market, Melbourne suburbs and making smart investment decisions. Their knowledge, professionalism and genuine care made the entire experience fantastic. I’ll absolutely be using them for future purchases and recommending them to everyone I know. Couldn’t be happier!

Lou was extremely helpful, professional, personable and knowledgeable from the get go. He was responsive throughout the process and gave us the confidence we needed to make informed decisions. My partner and I can’t recommend Lou’s services enough! Thank you Lou!

Have dealt with LP Advisory on many occasion being a real estate agent in the Port Phillip area. I have to say Lou is always extremely easy and no fuss to deal with, always having the best intentions for their clients. Lou recently purchased a property through us pre market in South Melbourne. Within 48 hours, his client had viewed, a building inspection had been conducted and we had negotiated with the owner and come to an agreeable price. Happy clients all round so thank you.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Lou on a number of property matters, and one thing that really stands out is the level of care and attention to detail he puts into the property search for his clients. Lou is extremely knowledgeable. He is always asking questions, clarifying details and making sure he has a thorough understanding of the property so he can properly guide and assist his clients. From a conveyancer’s perspective, it’s really lovely to see the amount of care he takes behind the scenes to ensure his clients are making informed decisions and purchasing the right property for them. I would happily recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced, knowledgeable and genuinely caring buyer’s advocate.

There are not enough superlatives for what a wonderful job Lou and Alana have done. Looking for a home is stressful enough, especially when you add in the fact I am move interstate, however the LP Advisory team took all the difficult work out of it. I am extremely happy with the service and care I have received, which obviously ranged from sourcing appropriate inspections based on my preferences, then through going to them, giving me amazing advice and suggestions. They are both very professional, very kind and very efficient. Thank you both so very much. I am beyond appreciative and I could not recommend their services enough. If anyone is looking, please look into Lou and Alana. Thanks :)

I could not recommend Lou, Alana and the LP Advisory Team more highly. They are absolutely the real deal in terms of their local knowledge, price guidance and relationships - it is almost an unfair advantage if you have them on your team. I recently was able to purchase a home far better than anything I would have dreamed of due to the strength of their relationships and negotiating advice. At no point did I ever feel pressured to look at homes which I felt were off brief - they would send me video tours of homes before I even stepped in to make sure that it was only for the highest and best potential homes that I was investing my time. I wasn't fighting with the regular weekend crowds but had the opportunity to view when it suited me. And more than that, I was able to be candid and open in my feedback which was clearly taken back on board and reflected back in the shortlist that was presented back to me. As a business owner making a significant purchase, their commercial nous was unbelievable as was their integrity (they earned their fee four times over) and I feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with them. I was actually recommended them by one of the local Port Melbourne/Albert Park agents who probably regrets introducing us now!
