Buyers Agent Melbourne for Investment Property
Data-Driven Investment Strategy | Off-Market Access | Zero Conflicts of Interest
Leave it to the Experts
Looking for a buyers agent in Melbourne who specialises exclusively in investment property?
We’re Australian Property Experts, and we don’t buy homes for people to live in. We buy investment property in Melbourne and across Australia for one purpose: building wealth through strategic property portfolios.
Based in Parramatta and buying Australia-wide, we’ve purchased 200+ investment properties for clients while maintaining zero conflicts of interest. No developer commissions, no rebates, no kickbacks. Just transparent advice and data-driven property selection that puts your returns first.
Our founder Peter Ly owns 16+ personal investment properties and brings a banking and financial analyst background to every purchase. When you work with us as your Melbourne buyers advocate, you get someone who understands the numbers, knows the markets, and has access to off-market deals you’ll never see on Domain or realestate.com.au.
Why Use a Buyers Agent in Melbourne?
Melbourne’s property market is competitive, fragmented, and increasingly expensive. The median house price sits around $900,000-$1,000,000 in many suburbs, making strategic buying essential for positive cash flow and long-term capital growth.
Here’s what you’re up against when buying investment property in Melbourne without professional representation:
- Off-market properties that never hit the internet, giving connected buyers first access to the best deals
- Complex market dynamics across dozens of suburbs, from inner-city apartments to growth corridors like Werribee, Melton, and Pakenham
- Time-consuming property searches, inspections, and due diligence that can take 40-60 hours per purchase
- Negotiation against experienced selling agents who do this full-time
- Risk of emotional decisions or missing critical issues during inspections
- Difficulty assessing true rental yields, vacancy rates, and growth potential
As a buying agent in Melbourne, we handle all of this for you. We’re on your side of the table, working exclusively for you with zero conflicts of interest. We don’t take developer commissions, we don’t receive rebates, and we’re not incentivised to push specific properties.
The result? Our clients typically save $20,000-$50,000 on purchase price through skilled negotiation, avoid costly mistakes, and gain access to properties they’d never find on their own. The investment in a buyers agent in Melbourne pays for itself multiple times over.
Investment Property Markets We Cover in Melbourne and Victoria
While we’re not Melbourne-based (we operate from Parramatta), we buy investment property across Victoria and have deep knowledge of the markets that deliver results for investors. Our focus is always on the numbers: rental yield, capital growth potential, infrastructure, and economic drivers.
Melbourne Growth Corridors
Melbourne’s outer growth suburbs offer affordability and infrastructure development that inner-city properties can’t match. We actively buy in areas like:
- Western Growth Corridor: Werribee, Point Cook, Wyndham Vale, Tarneit, Truganina – benefiting from employment hubs, transport upgrades, and population growth
- Northern Growth Corridor: Craigieburn, Epping, Mernda, Doreen – strong rental demand from families and transport accessibility via train lines
- South-Eastern Growth Corridor: Pakenham, Officer, Clyde, Cranbourne – major infrastructure investment and affordability for young families
- Western Suburbs: Melton, Rockbank, Plumpton – entry-level pricing with future growth potential as Melbourne expands westward
Regional Victoria Investment Markets
We also target regional Victorian cities where investors can secure better yields and lower entry prices:
- Ballarat: Strong regional economy, university town, solid rental demand, median prices around $550,000-$650,000
- Bendigo: Growing population, healthcare and education employment, diverse economy, median prices $600,000-$700,000
- Geelong: Victoria's second-largest city, infrastructure investment, proximity to Melbourne, waterfront development
As your property investment consultant in Melbourne, we analyse every market through the lens of data: employment growth, population trends, infrastructure spending, rental vacancy rates, and historical capital growth. We don’t guess – we know the numbers.

Our Melbourne Buyers Agency Process
When you engage us as your buyers agent in Melbourne, here’s exactly what happens:
Discovery Call & Strategy Session
We start with a free 30-minute discovery call to understand your investment goals, budget, timeline, and risk tolerance. Then we develop a customised property investment strategy based on your financial position, including borrowing capacity, cash flow targets, and growth objectives.
Market Research & Shortlisting
We analyse target markets across Melbourne and Victoria using our proprietary data models. We identify suburbs and property types that match your criteria, focusing on rental yield, capital growth potential, and risk profile. This includes both on-market and off-market opportunities.
Off-Market Property Access
Through our agent network, we gain access to off-market properties in Melbourne before they hit Domain or realestate.com.au. This gives you first-mover advantage and often means less competition and better negotiating positions. We present you with 3-5 shortlisted options with full due diligence reports.
Due Diligence & Property Inspections
We conduct thorough due diligence on every property: building and pest inspections, contract reviews, title searches, rental appraisals, and market comparables. We assess everything from structural issues to rental demand, zoning, and future development potential. No surprises, no hidden issues.
Negotiation & Purchase
We negotiate on your behalf to secure the property below market value. Our negotiation typically saves clients $20,000-$50,000 on purchase price. We handle all communication with selling agents, manage the contract process, and coordinate with your conveyancer or solicitor.
Settlement Support
We guide you through settlement, connecting you with trusted property managers, depreciation specialists, and accountants. Our job isn't done until your investment property is tenanted and generating cash flow. Timeline: typically 4-8 weeks from engagement to purchase.
Who Uses Our Melbourne Buyers Agent Service?
Our clients come from diverse backgrounds, but they share one thing: they’re serious about building wealth through investment property in Melbourne and across Australia. Here’s who we typically work with:
Time-Poor Professionals
Doctors, engineers, executives, and business owners who don't have 40-60 hours to search for properties, attend inspections, and negotiate. They value their time at $200-$500+ per hour and understand that paying $8,000-$16,000 for expert representation is a smart investment.
First-Time Investors
People buying their first investment property who want to avoid expensive mistakes. We educate you on the process, explain the numbers in plain English, and ensure your first purchase sets you up for long-term success. We've helped dozens of first-timers build confidence and wealth.

Interstate and Overseas Investors People living outside Victoria who want Melbourne exposure but can't attend inspections or auctions. We're your eyes and ears on the ground, providing detailed reports, videos, and professional representation throughout the entire process.
What we don’t do: We don’t help people buy homes to live in. We’re 100% focussed on investment property. If you’re looking for your dream home or owner-occupier property, we’re not the right fit. If you want to build wealth through strategic property investment, let’s talk.
Buyers Agent Melbourne Fees: Transparent Pricing
We charge a flat fee structure of $8,000-$16,000+ depending on property price, complexity, and location. This covers everything: strategy session, market research, property search, off-market access, inspections, due diligence, negotiation, and settlement support.
What you get for your investment:
- Access to off-market properties you'll never find yourself

Unlike some buyers agents in Melbourne who take developer commissions or charge percentage-based fees that incentivise higher purchase prices, we’re completely transparent. Our flat fee means we’re motivated to get you the best possible deal, not to inflate the price.
ROI on our service: If we save you $30,000 through negotiation and help you avoid a $50,000 structural issue, you’ve just made $80,000 while paying $12,000. That’s a 567% return on investment, not including the time saved and stress avoided.

Meet Peter Ly – Your Melbourne-Focussed Buyers Agent
I’m Peter Ly, founder of Australian Property Experts and a property investor with 16+ personal investment properties. I’ve purchased 200+ properties for clients across Australia, and I bring a unique background to every transaction.
Before becoming a buyers advocate, I worked as a banker and financial analyst with an accounting background. This means I understand the numbers, I can analyse cash flow and capital growth potential, and I know how to structure deals for optimal tax outcomes.
I don’t just advise on investment property – I live it. Every property I recommend to clients is one I’d consider buying myself. My portfolio includes houses, townhouses, and units across Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, and regional Australia. I understand the challenges, the risks, and the rewards of property investment because I’ve been doing it for years.
Why I specialise in investment property only: I believe in focus. By concentrating 100% on investment property rather than diluting my expertise across owner-occupier purchases, I’ve developed deep knowledge of what works for investors. I understand rental yields, depreciation schedules, land tax, strata reports, and developer due diligence at a level that generalist buyers agents simply don’t.
When you work with me as your investment property buyers agent in Melbourne, you get direct access to my experience, my agent network, and my commitment to zero conflicts of interest. This is my reputation on the line with every purchase.

Buyers Agent Melbourne: Frequently Asked Questions
We buy investment property across Melbourne’s growth corridors (Werribee, Point Cook, Pakenham, Craigieburn, Melton) and regional Victorian cities (Ballarat, Bendigo, Geelong). Our focus is on markets with strong rental demand, infrastructure investment, and growth potential rather than specific geographic boundaries.
We’re based in Parramatta but buy Australia-wide, including throughout Victoria. We have trusted partners on the ground in Melbourne for inspections and local market intelligence.
Our fees range from $8,000-$16,000+ depending on property price, location, and complexity. This is a flat fee structure covering strategy, search, off-market access, due diligence, negotiation, and settlement support.
We don’t charge percentage-based fees because they create perverse incentives – we want to negotiate the lowest price for you, not inflate it to increase our commission. We also don’t receive developer rebates or kickbacks, so you can trust our recommendations are genuinely in your best interest.
Yes. Through our relationships with selling agents across Victoria, we regularly access properties before they’re listed publicly. This includes pre-market listings, vendor advocacy deals, and properties sold without advertising.
Off-market deals give you less competition, better negotiating positions, and access to properties you’d never find on Domain or realestate.com.au. Typically 30-40% of properties we purchase for clients are off-market or pre-market opportunities.
No. We work with first-time investors, experienced portfolio builders, and everyone in between. If you’re buying your first investment property, we’ll educate you on the process, explain the numbers, and ensure you make a smart decision.
If you already own 10 properties, we’ll leverage our data and off-market access to accelerate your portfolio growth. Our service scales to your experience level and investment goals.
Typically 4-8 weeks from engagement to purchase, though this varies based on market conditions, your criteria, and property availability. If we find the perfect off-market deal in week one, we can move quickly. If we’re targeting specific suburbs with limited stock, it might take 8-12 weeks.
We never rush you into a purchase. Every property we present must meet your investment criteria and pass our due diligence process.
There’s no difference – the terms are used interchangeably in Australia. Both refer to licensed professionals who represent property buyers rather than sellers. We use both terms because different people search for different phrases, but the service is identical.
What matters is finding a buyers agent or advocate who specialises in your type of purchase (investment vs owner-occupier) and operates with zero conflicts of interest.
We connect you with trusted property managers in Melbourne and across Victoria, but we don’t provide property management ourselves. We also refer depreciation specialists, accountants, and conveyancers as needed.
Our goal is to see your investment property tenanted and generating cash flow, not just to complete the purchase and disappear. We provide post-settlement support to ensure everything is set up correctly.
Three reasons: time, expertise, and access. Finding and buying an investment property typically takes 40-60 hours of work – inspections, research, negotiation, due diligence. If your time is worth $200-$500+ per hour, you’ll spend $8,000-$30,000 in opportunity cost.
We bring expertise in market analysis, due diligence, and negotiation that takes years to develop. And we provide access to off-market properties you’ll never find yourself. Most importantly, our negotiation typically saves $20,000-$50,000 on purchase price, meaning our service pays for itself multiple times over.
Absolutely. Many of our clients are interstate or overseas investors who want Melbourne exposure but can’t attend inspections or auctions. We act as your eyes and ears on the ground, providing detailed inspection reports, videos, and professional representation throughout the entire process.
We coordinate with your conveyancer, lender, and property manager to make the experience seamless, regardless of where you’re located.
