Benefits of using a buyer's agent

We help investors (new and experienced), first-home buyers and owner occupiers.

Some of the benefits of using a buyer’s agent are:

We buy you the right property at the right price!

Investors minimise the #1 risk in property investing – selecting a poor asset in a poor location

Owner occupiers minimise stress and time to buy, and maximise chance of success

Save 100+ hours of your time, as we project manage the entire acquisition

Reduce stress as buyers are emotionally removed from the process

Eliminate the risk of working with untrustworthy 3rd parties; we coordinate a team of carefully vetted experts who (like us) operate solely in your best interest

Outstanding! Nigel went above and beyond to help us find the right site for our granny flat project. He always available for a chat and took the stress out of the process of sourcing and buying. With Nigel working in the background we were able to spend more time with the family and we’re really happy with the result. Nigel is very professional and made us feel very comfortable making the decision of buying thanks to his attention to detail and love of statistics. Highly recommend!

Thoroughly recommended.

We are absolutely thrilled with the exceptional service we've received! Nigel from Niva Property helped us as a vendor advocate to guide us through selling our property.

My wife and I are over the moon with the work Nigel did for us to secure our investment property (and future development site) in the Newcastle area. Not only did we get a great property under the initial price guide, his communication was excellent and he went above and beyond with detailed due diligence work to ensure we had complete confidence in the decision we were making. This was our first experience with a Buyer's Advocate and I'd thoroughly recommend Nigel from Niva Property Buyers."

Nigel recently helped us to analyse and explore various options regarding the potential sale or development of our investment property. His research, due diligence and support saved us a lot of time and helped give us confidence that we were making the best possible decision at the time. A particular benefit was his independent property appraisal coupled with clear and concise market data; this gave us a lot of confidence in the state of the market and also what our property was worth.

Nigel from Niva Property Buyers was a great help in securing our family a property in Lake Macquarie. When we decided on the property we really wanted, he went above and beyond on due diligence, ensured we were aware of all risks, and acted quickly to help us secure it ahead of the competition. He proactively guided us every step of the way through this emotionally intense journey.
We'd thoroughly recommend him to anyone looking to buy their dream home.

Nigel Watts from Niva Property was truly amazing when I bought my Unit in 2024. As a 1st home buyer, the process was very daunting as you never quite know who to trust. Nigel acted as a trusted property & personal adviser, enabling me to achieve an easy and ultimately successful purchase whilst minimizing any risk involved during the entire process. Highly Recommended.

Nigel from Niva Property was a great help in securing our family a property recently on the Gold Coast. His timely, expert knowledge of the buying process helped us secure the property ahead of our competitors. He also made us aware of all the risks and detailed due diligence, so we could make decisions quickly and easily, making the buying process much less stressful. I’d thoroughly recommend Nigel as a buyer’s agent for your next property purchase.

Nigel at Niva Property made the exercise of buying our property very easy. His level of professionalism and diligence was first class. The lengths that he went to, in providing us with additional researched information on numerous properties, was above and beyond our expectations. I would highly recommend.

Nigels understanding of the property market is phenomenal. He is personable. His advice is honest and he's a treat to deal with. I may have found myself a buyer's agent for life!

Nigel from Niva Property was a great help in securing us a property. He is highly professional, maintains clear communication throughout the process and has a thorough knowledge of the housing market. He went above and beyond to help, saved us so much time and helped us to minimise any risks in the purchase.

We have now bought our perfect abode in a short duration with the help of Nigel and feel he is, by far, a great agent to work with. Quite simply, it would not have been possible for us to do this without his support. We would highly recommend Nigel and Niva Property to anyone who is looking for an owner occupier property or a high performing investment.

We will be sure to engage his services again for our next purchase. Thank you so much Nigel.

Awesome experience. If you have a busy life and don’t have time to attend inspections, talk to agents, research streets and suburbs you need to talk to Nigel. He is a great communicator and super knowledgeable.

Nigel recently acted as buyers agent for us on a property we were looking to acquire. Throughout the process we were well informed and with the knowledge he provided we made clear and considered decisions.

As Nigel is not affiliated with any other stakeholders, we found his advice was always in our best interest.

I couldn't recommend Nigel highly enough!

Nigel was a great help when buying our home. His knowledge and prompt, professional advice was really beneficial to ensure the process was as smooth as possible.

Nigel has most recently been assisting in our search for a suitable, affordable property for my son, who is a first home buyer. With each potential property, Nigel provides fast and comprehensive analysis of the market and the area as well as the subject property. This gave us the crucial insights needed to make the right choice at the right price. I have no hesitation in recommending him as an attentive and effective Buyer's Agent.
