Canberra Buyers Agent

About Property Lookout

An advocate in your corner.

I'm Thad. I started Property Lookout after watching people close to me miss out on properties they wanted, not because they couldn't afford them, but because they were up against experienced selling agents without anyone on their side.

That felt wrong to me. The property market shouldn't be a game where only the insiders win. I established this boutique agency to level the playing field, working exclusively for buyers, never sellers.

Because I take on a very small number of clients at a time, you receive my undivided attention, rigorous research, and steadfast negotiation from the first search to the final bid.

Client Reviews

In their words.

"Thad was fantastic to work with from start to finish. He listened closely to what I was looking for and made me feel truly understood throughout the process. His knowledge of the best areas to invest in was incredibly helpful, and he guided me through things I didn't even know to consider as a first-time home buyer. His thorough and patient approach made the entire experience smooth and stress-free, and I always felt confident in the decisions we were making. I'll definitely be using his services again in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a buyers agent."

Property Buyer

"We immediately recognised the value of Thad's services, especially the benefits of having a Buyers Agent on our side. After receiving a few insightful suburb reports from Thad, we spotted a property we loved and engaged him to represent us at auction. This was our first auction in Canberra, a situation that could have been highly emotional. Instead, we stayed home, listened in over the phone, and heard Thad's calm, confident, and strategic approach in action. We won the property! Not only did we think it might not be possible, but we also secured it well below our top budget. Highly recommended and an absolute pleasure to deal with."
