Founder & Managing Director

Lloyd Edge - the buyer's agent the media calls first.

From a teacher’s salary to a $40M portfolio.

Lloyd Edge is one of Australia’s most recognised buyer’s agents and property investors. A former music teacher, he bought his first property on a modest salary and - through a disciplined, strategy-first approach - built a personal portfolio worth more than $40 million starting from a single $40,000 deposit.

He founded Aus Property Professionals to turn that playbook into a service: representing buyers only, never sellers, and applying the same rigour on behalf of clients that he applied to his own portfolio over the last 25 years.

“Strategy isn’t optional - it’s the difference between owning property and building a portfolio.”

Recognised by the industry

In 2024, REINSW named Lloyd Buyer’s Agent of the Year - the industry’s highest honour. He has been a finalist in the CEO Magazine’s Executive of the Year awards on multiple occasions, and the firm has been a REB Awards finalist and an Australia Prestige Awards winner.

A bestselling author and educator

Lloyd is the bestselling author of Positively Geared, Buy Now, and a third book Set for Life, recently released. He hosts the Positively Geared podcast, sharing the strategies behind his own portfolio with everyday Australians.

The voice the media trusts

When the press wants an authoritative perspective on Australian property, they call Lloyd. He’s a regular commentator across Channel 7, 9 and 10, Sky News, 2GB, 3AW, news.com.au, realestate.com.au and Smart Property Investment - translating market movements into plain language for buyers and investors.

“Great THANK YOU!!!! Lloyd and team were amazing with the property advice. Special thanks to Raj for all your help and patience.”
Dries ClaassenInvestment Purchase
“Tome did a superb job. At every point he was responsive and reassuring. As a first time home buyer I felt confident in his abilities, especially as we secured our home. He was effective in the final negotiation and stayed well within our budget leaving us in a good place. When everything was finalised he still made himself available, just in case.”
Ian ZuckerFamily Home
“I dealt mostly with Lloyd. He was able to negotiate a significant discount and helped to make the process run smoothly. He responded promptly to the many questions I had. Tome was also professional to deal with. This was my first experience buying through a buyer's agent, and based on this, I would highly recommend Aus Property Professionals.”

Questions

Frequently asked.

What is a buyers agent?
A buyers agent is a licensed professional who represents the buyer through a property purchase, unlike a real estate agent, who works for the seller. The role covers finding and shortlisting properties, negotiating, appraising value, completing due diligence, reviewing background checks, attending auctions, dealing with real estate agents and supporting contract exchange. They are also your single point of contact between solicitors, accountants, building inspectors, financial advisors, conveyancers and mortgage brokers. A buyers agent adds local market insight, so you make decisions with the full picture.
What is the difference between a buyers agent and a real estate agent?
A buyers agent represents the buyer to search, assess and negotiate, while a real estate agent represents the seller and works to achieve a high sale price.
What does a buyers agent do?
A buyers agent manages the property buying process from strategy to settlement. This can include: defining your budget, goals and property brief; researching suburbs, sales data and market trends; finding on-market and off-market properties; inspecting and comparing opportunities; coordinating due diligence; negotiating or bidding at auction; and supporting you through exchange and settlement. For investors, an investment property buyers agent also includes rental return analysis, capital growth assessment and portfolio planning.
Why use a buyers agent in Australia?
A buyers agent can save time, reduce stress and help you make a more informed property purchase. They are especially useful in competitive markets, when buying interstate, when seeking off-market opportunities, or when you want independent support before negotiating or bidding at auction. They can also help you avoid overpaying, compare properties clearly and manage the process from search through to settlement.
How much does a buyers agent cost?
The cost of a buyers agent varies depending on the agency, property brief, service level and pricing model. Some agencies charge a fixed fee, while others charge a percentage-based buyers agent commission. Aus Property Professionals uses a transparent flat-fee model, so you know the cost before the search begins.
Do buyers agents charge a percentage or a fixed fee?
Both pricing models exist. A buyers agent percentage fee is calculated against the final purchase price, while a fixed fee is agreed upfront before the search begins. Aus Property Professionals works on a fixed-fee basis, giving buyers cost certainty from day one.
Are buyers agents worth it?
For many buyers, yes. The value usually comes from saving time on search and inspections, accessing better-suited opportunities, avoiding overpaying, reducing costly mistakes, getting stronger negotiation support, and buying with clearer evidence. A confident local buyer with time and market knowledge may choose to buy on their own. In competitive or unfamiliar markets, professional support can make a significant difference.
How can a buyers agent help me to purchase a home?
They help you get clear on what you can afford before you start. A home buyers agent will refine your brief, identify suitable suburbs, arrange inspections, review comparable sales, negotiate with selling agents and represent you at auction. A buyer agent in Australia can help you stay objective, so you are less likely to overpay at auction.
How can a buyers agent help purchase an investment property?
An investment buyers agent helps you choose a property based on data, not emotion. They assess suburb growth drivers, rental demand, expected yield, cash flow, capital growth potential and portfolio fit. Aus Property Professionals can help investors compare opportunities and avoid common mistakes before committing.
Are buyers agents qualified?
Yes. They must hold a licence in the state where they operate, and many also complete a buyers agent course, such as a Certificate IV or Diploma of Property Services. Each state has its own licence to reflect its own laws. A buyers agent course alone isn't the full picture, though. Buyer agents should also be members of a professional body such as the Real Estate Institute of NSW or equivalent state body, Property Investment Professionals of Australia (PIPA), or the Real Estate Buyers Agents Association (REBAA). You can check anyone's licence on the Fair Trading website. This is why licensing, experience and professional memberships matter when choosing who to work with.
How do I find a good buyers agent near me?
Start by checking licence status, reviews, experience and fee transparency. A good buyers agent should offer local market knowledge, a clear buying strategy, transparent fees, strong communication, recent client results, and proven negotiation experience. Aus Property Professionals operates nationwide, so wherever you're buying, we're already there. Whether you need a buyers agent in Sydney, a buyers agent in Melbourne, or a buyers agent in Brisbane, our team knows those markets inside out. We also work with buyers in Perth, Adelaide and Newcastle.
Who pays the buyers agent?
The buyer pays the buyers agent fees because the service is provided to the purchaser, not the seller. The payment structure should be explained before you sign an agreement. Aus Property Professionals charges a transparent flat fee.
Are buyers agent fees tax-deductible?
For a home you live in, buyers agent fees are generally not tax-deductible. For an investment property, the fee is usually not claimed as an immediate deduction, but it may form part of the property's cost base for capital gains tax purposes when the property is sold. Speak with an accountant or tax adviser for advice based on your circumstances.
Do you offer commercial property buyers agent services?
Yes. Aus Property Professionals handles both commercial and residential purchases. Our commercial real estate buyers agent service covers offices, retail, industrial and mixed-use assets, with an eye on yield, lease terms and growth. Talk to our team about your next commercial acquisition.
How is Aus Property Professionals different from other buyers agents?
Our strategy-first model earned the REINSW 2024 Buyers Agent of the Year award. Alongside Lloyd's two books on property investment, the team has helped clients enter the market, find their dream home and build real portfolios. That track record is reflected in our 87% client repeat rate - it's why clients come back to us for their next purchase.
Do you work outside of Sydney?
Yes. We started in Sydney and now provide buyers agent Australia-wide support, with a deeper presence in major cities: Brisbane, Melbourne, Newcastle, Adelaide and Perth.
