About Elite Buyer Agents

Elite Buyer Agents is a Melbourne buyer’s agency, founded in 2011, that helps home buyers and property investors identify, evaluate and secure residential and commercial property across Melbourne and its surrounds. Operating exclusively on the buyer’s side of every transaction, the agency has built its reputation on the ethos “We’re on your side” — working solely in the interests of the purchaser and never the vendor.

Elite Buyer Agents works with a broad range of clients including first home buyers, families upgrading to larger homes, downsizers, luxury home seekers, residential property investors, SMSF buyers, and interstate or expat buyers unable to attend inspections in person. The team follows a structured four-step process: defining the client’s search brief, sourcing both on-market and off-market properties, conducting due diligence and comparable sales analysis to establish true value, and then executing negotiation or auction bidding strategy to secure the property at the best possible price. Approximately 25% of the agency’s purchases are sourced off market, reflecting the depth of their agent relationships across Melbourne.

The agency serves buyers across metropolitan Melbourne, with office locations in Brighton and Hawthorn East. Client testimonials reference purchases in suburbs including Mount Waverley, and the team regularly operates across multiple Melbourne locations for both owner-occupiers and investors.

Elite Buyer Agents was founded by Kim and David Easterbrook, who identified a gap in the Melbourne market for advocacy services that operated purely in the buyer’s interest. The agency’s named advocates include Kim Easterbrook, David Easterbrook, Lisa O’Connor and Vicky, with collective decades of property buying and investment experience spanning more than 14 years of investor-focused work. The team is well regarded for auction bidding strategy in Melbourne’s competitive auction environment.

The agency offers an initial consultation to understand each client’s needs and goals. Most clients secure a property within two to three months of engagement — a timeframe the agency describes as considerably faster than the average unassisted buyer. Both residential and commercial property purchasing services are available, including SMSF-compliant acquisitions.

I had a first-class experience with Elite Buyers Agents and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them, especially to investors who value good advice over a hard sell. My initial meetings were with David, whose passion for what he does was clear from the outset. The insights he shared during the strategy/solution meeting were genuine eye-openers — practical, logical, and made a lot of common sense even though I’ve bought investment properties before. It really helped sharpen my thinking. What stood out most was David’s integrity. Based on my budget and goals, he advised that the best opportunity sat in a different area and passed me on to an affiliated/associated agent rather than trying to force a deal himself. That alone told me the advice mattered more than the sale. The experience with Vicky was just as good. She was professional, knowledgeable, and proactive throughout the process. I ended up purchasing an investment property and can confidently say the end-to-end experience was seamless. Even the professionals Elite referred me to — including the conveyancer and property manager — have been excellent, which says a lot about the quality of their network. Most importantly, my financial goals for this purchase have been achieved, and I’m looking forward to continuing to grow my property portfolio with their support in the future. Highly recommended.

We recently purchased a property with the support of Kim and her team, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, the team at EBA was proactive, thorough, and genuinely invested in helping us secure the right home. Kim provided clear guidance at every stage, offered smart and strategic advice, and was always ahead of the process—whether it was researching properties, coordinating inspections, or negotiating with the selling agent. Kim's communication was excellent, and we always felt supported and informed. What really stood out was Kim's professionalism combined with a calm, confident approach that made the entire buying journey far less stressful. Kim understood exactly what we were looking for and helped us navigate the market with confidence. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and highly skilled buyer’s advocate.

We had a great experience with David and Vicky on our first investment property in VIC. I was referred to this company by a friend, who said they had received a lot of positive feedback across Australia. Vicky was very supportive and professional, and she provided great off-market opportunities. She did a great job and helped us find a very good property within a very short period of time. We look forward to working with them again.

Searching for the right property can quickly become overwhelming, especially when juggling work, a challenging market, and everything else life throws at you. Between scanning new listings each night and coordinating inspections, it’s easy to feel stretched. Working with Elite Buyer Agents changed that. Their guidance brought clarity to the search, confidence to the decision‑making, and genuine support from start to finish. Lisa’s market insight even helped surface opportunities before they hit the wider market, which made a real difference. A big thank you to Lisa, Tia and the entire Elite Buyer Agents team — your support made the whole experience so much easier.
