EXCELLENT Based on 333 reviews Posted on Niz YesilovaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A couple of years ago, my mortgage broker highly recommended that I meet with Simon Loo and the HouseFinder team. From our first meeting, I've always appreciated Simon's clear, frank & honest advice, it has been rewarding. Since then, I've purchased a few investment properties with the HF team and have more in the pipeline. The team has done a great job in identifying acquisition opportunities with the settlement price below the market value, whilst also appreciating in value quite rapidly. The process has been smooth and interactive from the outset through to settlement. Ben and Kevin for instance were helpful in addressing my numerous queries on potential acquisition opportunities and providing confidence in my investment decisions. For one one of my investments, they were able to negotiate the price down. Audrey has also been great on the operational side with the inspections and the nitty gritty of the purchasing process. Thanks to Simon and the HF team, it has been great.Posted on Tabassum MuntarimTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend!

We’re your competitive edge
In a competitive Australian real estate market, the best investment opportunities are often found before they are ever publicly advertised. An off market property in Melbourne is a property sold privately, without being listed on major real estate portals. This strategy is where savvy investors gain their advantage.
For you, this means less competition, greater negotiation power, and the ability to secure high-growth assets discreetly and efficiently. With around 25% of Melbourne property transactions now occurring off-market, having access to these exclusive listings is no longer just a benefit; it’s a necessity for serious portfolio growth.
Our team unlocks this hidden market, connecting you with private sales in Melbourne and early access deals that are simply not available to the general public.
What makes us different?
Over the past 10 years, I’ve built a $40 million property portfolio with a debt level below 30% and a rental yield of over 10%. This financial freedom allows me to focus on my passion: helping other investors achieve their goals through strategic property acquisition.
My national network and deep expertise in markets like Melbourne are instrumental in sourcing deals that deliver real results. With over 400 successful off-market transactions, including in Melbourne’s top-performing suburbs, my team and I are dedicated to finding properties that build wealth.

| Aspect | Off-Market Properties | On-Market Properties |
| Competition | Low; exclusive access for a small pool of buyers. | High; public campaigns attract numerous bidders. |
| Price | Often secured below market value due to less competition. | Price is driven up by public demand and auctions. |
| Access | Early access through a private agent network. | Available to everyone on public listing websites. |
| Negotiation | Discreet and flexible, allowing for better terms. | Competitive and rigid, with limited room to negotiate. |
| Privacy | Complete discretion for both buyer and seller. | The entire transaction is exposed to the public. |

The leading Buyers Agent in Melbourne
Off-market properties are homes sold privately without public advertising on platforms like real estate listings or the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). These transactions occur discreetly, often through direct negotiations between sellers and pre-qualified buyers, real estate agents’ networks, or specialised platforms.
Why Sellers Choose Off-Market Sales:

High-profile individuals, celebrities, or those in sensitive situations (e.g., divorce, inheritance disputes) avoid public attention. Sellers maintain confidentiality, shielding personal circumstances from open scrutiny.

Off-market deals skip lengthy staging, photography, and marketing phases. Motivated sellers, such as relocating professionals or investors, close sales 20–30% faster than traditional listings.

Sellers bypass open inspections and auctions, controlling who views their property. This minimises disruptions and allows tailored terms, like rent-back agreements or extended settlement periods.
