The Advantage of a Melbourne Eastern Suburbs Buyers Agent Who Knows Both Sides
- Insider Knowledge: Years as a senior sales agent in Melbourne’s Eastern Suburbs gave me deep insight into vendor behaviour, auction strategy and negotiation tactics. This knowledge I now use as a buyers agent to protect and empower buyers.
- Off Market Access: As a buyers agent I gain entry to exclusive off market properties across the Eastern Suburbs through my long-standing relationships with local agents.
- Eastern Suburbs Specialist: I have deep knowledge of eastern suburbs. While these are my key areas, I also assist as a buyers advocate across other Melbourne suburbs, bringing the same expert guidance wherever you’re looking to buy.
Most importantly, you’re hiring a professional and recognised Melbourne buyers advocate to ensure you choose wisely and conduct the right due diligence before spending tens of thousands on stamp duty and other costs, taking on a million-dollar loan and most importantly, enjoying the peace of mind that comes with knowing you made the right decision.

Award-Winning Expertise, Now Working on Your Side
I’m Amir Sharifi, an achivmenet award winning REIV agent and REIA national finalist, now working exclusively on your side as a buyer’s advocate.
Having started my career as a senior sales agent, I understand exactly how agents think, how auctions are won, and how properties are marketed. Today, I use that insider knowledge to protect buyers, negotiate smarter and secure the best homes and investment properties across Melbourne’s eastern suburbs.
At Eastern Property Advocates, I specialise in buying properties across Manningham, Maroondah, Whitehorse, Boroondara and surroundings. I know these areas inside out, the streets, schools, lifestyle and market trends including off-market opportunities most buyers never see.
Property owners protect their interests with a sales agent. Who’s protecting you as a purchaser?
Recognised Nationwide, REIV Award Winner, Now Representing Buyers
At the height of my sales career in 2024, I was honoured to be recognised by the main real estate body Real Estate Institute of Victoria (REIV) as the Number 1 agent in Victoria receiving the Achievement Award. As a result I ranked among the Top 4 agents nationwide and was nominated as a finalist with Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA).
Soon after, I chose to shift from selling to being a buyers advocate. This time using my insider knowledge to protect and advocate for buyers, standing beside them to help make confident, informed, and successful property decisions that lead to exceptional results.

Melbourne Buyers agent FAQS
A buyer’s agent, also known as a buyer’s advocate, is a licensed real estate professional who works exclusively for you, the property buyer. Their role is to research and shortlist suitable homes or investment properties, inspect them, complete due diligence, negotiate on your behalf and bid at auctions when required. A buyer’s agent protects your interests throughout the buying process, helping you make informed decisions and secure the right property at the best possible price.
The cost of engaging a buyers advocate depends on the level of service, property type, and market conditions. At Eastern Property Advocates, we charge a fixed flat fee rather than a percentage. Our fees are paid in two parts: a small engagement fee to begin the search and the remaining balance once we’ve successfully secured your property. Whether you need full service or just auction bidding, we’re transparent from the first conversation. We don’t list our fees online because every brief is different, for example, finding an apartment involves a very different workload compared to sourcing an acreage property in Melbourne’s Eastern Suburbs.
Yes, we do. That’s one of the biggest advantages of working with a buyers advocate, however its not the only reason to work with one.
At Eastern Property Advocates, we have direct relationships with selling agents across Melbourne, giving our clients access to off market and pre market listings that never appear online.
These exclusive opportunities often mean less competition, better value and the chance to secure the right property before the public even knows it’s available.
In Australia, the terms buyer’s agent and buyer’s advocate mean the same thing. Both refer to licensed professionals who represent property buyers rather than sellers. Some prefer the term “advocate” because it highlights the advisory and protective nature of the role, while “agent” connects more directly with the real estate industry’s licensing structure. Regardless of the term, both act solely in the buyer’s best interests, offering independent advice and expert negotiation support.
Absolutely. A buyers advocate can save you far more than their fee by helping you avoid overpaying, uncovering off market opportunities and preventing costly mistakes. Most buyers enter the market emotionally, while agents selling the property negotiate professionally every day. Having a buyers advocate levels the playing field. At Eastern Property Advocates, our clients often secure their homes faster and at better prices, with less stress and more confidence in every step of the process.
The time it takes to buy a property with a buyers advocate depends on your brief, budget, and the current market. Most clients working with Eastern Property Advocates secure their ideal property within 2 to 6 weeks. We manage everything from research, inspections, shortlisting, negotiations, and due diligence to handing you the keys. This approach benefits anyone who wants expert guidance, including busy professionals, first-time buyers, retirees, or anyone unfamiliar with the property market, making the process faster, smoother and far less stressful.
Buying a property in the Melbourne market is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make. A buyers agent acts as your professional partner, researching, negotiating, and protecting your interests at every stage. Unlike selling agents, who represent the vendor (homeowner), a buyers agent works solely for you. At Eastern Property Advocates, we use insider experience, local market insight, and strategic negotiation to help you buy the right property at the right price, without the stress or uncertainty of doing it alone.
Buyers advocates gain access to off market properties through strong local connections and insider knowledge of the Eastern Suburbs market. Many homes in areas like Doncaster, Doncaster East, Donvale, Balwyn, Blackburn and Ringwood sell quietly before they ever appear online.
At Eastern Suburbs Advocates, we maintain relationships with top local selling agents, giving our clients priority access to pre-market and off market listings. We also monitor upcoming campaigns, withdrawn listings and private sales to uncover hidden buying opportunities.
This means our clients often secure premium properties without facing public competition, emotional bidding or inflated auction prices, saving time, stress, and money.
