What we do

Everything between your brief and your keys.

We work exclusively for you, pairing local connections with industry-leading technology and systems to get you the best outcome. We never represent both sides of a deal, and we never take on two clients with an identical brief.

  • Search, on and off market

    We look beyond the listings, including properties that never reach the open market.

  • Every property inspected in person

    We walk through every property ourselves and send you photos and honest notes.

  • Price analysis

    We check what a property is really worth before you make an offer.

  • Negotiation

    We negotiate on your behalf, calmly and with the market evidence in hand.

  • Auction strategy and bidding

    We set the strategy with you, then bid on the day so you don't have to.

  • Support to settlement

    We keep the dates, paperwork and people on track through to settlement.

How it works

From strategy session to front door.

  1. Step 1

    A free strategy session

    Tell us what you're looking for, where and when. No cost, no obligation.

  2. Step 2

    Your strategy and fee, clear and upfront

    We agree your brief, your goals and every fee before we start, so everything is clear and upfront.

  3. Step 3

    Search and inspect

    We search on and off market and inspect every option in person.

  4. Step 4

    Negotiate and secure

    We assess the value, then negotiate or bid to secure it at the right price.

  5. Step 5

    Settlement and beyond

    We see it through to settlement, and our Asset Management team can take it from there.

Buying from interstate

Local insight, wherever you live.

Investing in South Australia from interstate or overseas? Our approach is built for it. With local connections and a team on the ground, we find, inspect and secure the right property, then look after it once it's yours. You sit back while we deliver the best result for you.

  • In-person inspections, so there are no surprises
  • Photos and honest notes on every shortlisted property
  • Local connections, including off-market opportunities
  • Asset Management and Property Care ready once you own it

Vendor advocacy

Selling? We're here to help.

Whether you're living interstate or you're a time-poor investor who needs someone on the ground to manage the sale of your asset, that's where we come in. We know the local market and the legislation, so we can maximise the value of your asset through the selling process.

Selling a deceased estate? This service is perfect for you. We look after the property on the ground, from presentation and maintenance through to the sale, so you can focus on what matters.

  • Choosing the right selling agent

    We compare agents, fees and campaign plans, and help you choose with confidence.

  • Presentation, pre-sale maintenance and campaign

    We get the property ready for market, from presentation to pre-sale maintenance through Residia Property Care, then keep the campaign focused on your outcome.

  • Eyes on the property

    We attend when you can't and report back to you in plain terms.

  • Support through to settlement

    We keep the paperwork and dates on track until the sale is done.

The Residia journey

Once you've bought it, we're still here.

Buying is the first step. Our Asset Management and Property Care teams can look after the property from settlement day, with people who already know it, all working toward the freedom you're building.

Buyer's Agency questions

Good questions, straight answers.

Something we haven't covered? Send your question to hello@residia.com.au

What does a buyer's agent do?
A selling agent works for the seller and aims for the highest price. A buyer's agent works only for you: finding the right property, checking it properly and negotiating the best price and terms. We never represent both sides, and we never take on two clients with an identical brief.
What does it cost?
We charge an up-front engagement fee, followed by a fixed success fee. No commissions. Every fee is agreed in writing up front, so there are no surprises later.
Can you help me sell a property?
Yes. Our vendor advocacy service puts someone on the ground for you, from choosing the right selling agent and preparing the property, through to settlement.
I live interstate. Can you still buy for me?
Yes. We walk through every property in person and send you photos and honest notes, so you never rely on a selling agent's video.
Can you find properties before they're listed?
Yes. Our local connections mean we regularly see off-market properties, so you get a look before the wider market does.
What makes Residia different?
Our team pairs local connections with industry-leading technology and systems to get you the best outcome: the right property, checked properly and secured at the right price.
What happens after settlement?
If it's an investment, our Asset Management and Property Care teams can take it from there, with people who already know the property. You're never obliged to use them.
