Low stock. Fierce competition. Unclear price guides. If you're buying in today’s market, the challenges are real — but you don’t have to face them alone. At Walsh Brown Property, we help you access off-market opportunities, negotiate strategically, and buy with clarity. A buyer’s agent isn’t a luxury — it’s your smart edge in a tough market.

Smart investors are turning to a little-known regional pocket in Victoria that offers strong yields, low vacancy rates, and sub-$600K entry points. With buyer competition heating up and socio-economic uplift underway, this tightly held area presents major upside potential—if you know where to look.

Buying a home is one of life’s biggest milestones—but also one of the easiest times to overlook critical details. From hidden renovation issues to faulty heating, plumbing or security concerns, a picture-perfect home can hide costly problems. This checklist covers 11 key things to inspect before you buy, helping you avoid surprises and make a confident decision. Because in property, what you don’t check can cost you — especially in the Australian market.

Buying sight unseen without someone physically inspecting the property on your behalf is, quite literally, buying blind. Photos and agent videos often hide structural issues, poor renovations, and costly problems. As a buyer’s agent, I inspect every property, ask the tough questions, and act solely in your best interest — so you can make confident, informed decisions, no matter where you're buying in Australia.

At Walsh Brown Property, real estate isn’t just about transactions — it’s about people, purpose, and integrity. Founder Aly Walsh shares why she became a buyer’s agent and vendor’s advocate, and how she’s helping everyday Australians buy and sell property with clarity, care, and confidence.

Most buyer’s agents claim to represent you—but many prioritise their own interests. Hidden referral deals and backend commissions can compromise the advice you receive. A truly independent buyer’s agent is paid only by the buyer and works transparently to protect your goals and investment.

Not all price estimates are created equal. If one agent’s promise sounds too good to be true, it just might be. In this post, we unpack the common tactic of overquoting—why some agents use it, how it can derail your sale, and what to do instead to sell smart and stress-free.

Sellers often lose out when dealing directly with agents. Learn how a vendor advocate can protect your interests—at no extra cost.

Not all off-market opportunities are equal; just because a property isn't listed publicly doesn't mean it's automatically a great deal.

A vendor’s advocate helps you navigate tough agent conversations, set fair prices, and reduce stress during the property selling process.

Buying a property is tough, and underquoting is one of the biggest frustrations buyers face, leaving them misled and wasting time.
