The market is built for the seller. We even the odds.

Every selling agent in a negotiation works for the vendor. Walk in unrepresented and you are negotiating against a professional whose only job is to get the highest price out of you.

As licensed estate agents who have sat on the selling side of hundreds of campaigns, we know exactly how that game is played, and we play it for you instead. We represent buyers only, so every assessment, every price view and every negotiation is built around your interests, never the vendor's.

Structured Support,
Search to Settlement

A boutique buyers agency. Personal, considered, end-to-end.

Finding the right property is harder than ever. Off-market deals, rising competition, and pushy selling agents make it tough for buyers to secure a home at the right price. As your buyers advocate, LP Advisory removes the guesswork by giving you access to exclusive listings and expert guidance, ensuring you don't waste time on missed opportunities or overpriced properties.

Many buyers overpay or miss out because they don't have the right strategy. Understanding market value, negotiating with agents, and handling auctions can be overwhelming. LP Advisory takes care of it all. We analyse the market, negotiate on your behalf, and bid at auctions with a clear plan, so you secure the best deal without the stress.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about working with a buyers agent in Melbourne.

What does a buyers agent actually do? +βˆ’

A buyers agent represents the buyer throughout the property search and purchase process. At LP Advisory, this includes clarifying your brief, sourcing suitable properties, accessing off-market and pre-market opportunities, inspecting homes, reviewing comparable sales, coordinating due diligence, negotiating with selling agents and supporting you through to settlement.

What are your fees? +βˆ’

We operate on a transparent flat-fee structure, so you always know exactly what's involved before you commit. Our fees are structured in two parts: an engagement fee at the start of our work together, and a success fee payable upon purchase. There are no hidden charges or percentage-based commissions. We'll walk you through the full fee schedule on your free strategy call, tailored to your brief and engagement type.

Which Melbourne suburbs do you cover? +βˆ’

LP Advisory assists buyers across Melbourne, with a strong focus on inner and established suburbs including Port Phillip, Bayside, Stonnington, Boroondara, the inner north and inner west. We tailor the search area to your budget, lifestyle, property goals and long-term plans. Don't see your suburb? Get in touch, we service a wide area across greater Melbourne.

Do you help with off-market properties? +βˆ’

Yes. LP Advisory regularly sources off-market and pre-market properties through agent relationships and direct outreach. Around 50% of the properties we secure for clients are never publicly listed. This gives you access to opportunities that simply won't appear on the major property portals.

How is a buyers agent different from a real estate agent? +βˆ’

A real estate agent is engaged by the seller to achieve the best result for the vendor. A buyers agent represents you, the buyer. Our role is to protect your interests, assess the property from a buyer's perspective and help you make an informed decision before you offer, negotiate or bid. We work exclusively for you, never the vendor.

I've already found a property, can you still help? +βˆ’

Yes. Our negotiation-only service is designed exactly for this. If you've found a property and want professional support with pricing, due diligence and negotiation, or representation at auction, we can step in at that point without requiring a full search engagement.

Do I still need to attend inspections? +βˆ’

Not necessarily. Our team inspects properties on your behalf and provides detailed feedback, so you only visit the homes genuinely worth your time. Many of our clients are time-poor, this is one of the biggest practical benefits of working with us. When it matters, we'll make sure you see it too.

How long does it typically take to find and buy a property? +βˆ’

Our average is 47 days from engagement to purchase. This varies depending on your brief, budget and the market at the time, but having dedicated representation, access to off-market properties and clear strategy typically compresses the search significantly compared to buying independently.
