About Buyers Advocate Perth
Buyers Advocate Perth is a Perth-based independent buyer’s agency that helps home buyers and property investors make better long-term property decisions. Led by director and licensed buyers agent Ray Chua alongside licensed buyers agent Lisa Do, the agency operates on a fundamentals-first philosophy — searching, assessing and negotiating on behalf of clients so they can buy with clarity rather than pressure.
The agency works with a range of buyers, including first home buyers, families, and property investors seeking high-quality assets that hold up across market cycles. Rather than showing clients more properties, Buyers Advocate Perth focuses on filtering out the many that do not meet its standards, evaluating each candidate for location quality, land value, zoning, neighbourhood context and long-term demand drivers. A four-stage process — Consultation, Property Search, Property Evaluation, and Purchase — structures every engagement, beginning with a free, no-obligation conversation to establish goals, constraints and risk tolerance before any searching begins.
The agency services the Perth metropolitan market, with demonstrated experience in northern coastal suburbs and blue-chip areas across the city. Clients have successfully purchased both homes and investment properties across Perth, with some securing properties off-market through the agency’s local network and relationships with selling agents.
Ray Chua and Lisa Do lead all client engagements. Ray Chua is a licensed buyers agent with deep local knowledge of the Perth property market, recognised by clients for his research process grounded in data and long-term fundamentals. Lisa Do is also a licensed buyers agent. The agency’s approach has been described by clients as calm, professional and genuinely advisory — including a willingness to recommend walking away when a property does not meet the required standard.
Buyers Advocate Perth begins every engagement with a free, no-obligation consultation. The agency accesses publicly listed properties, early and pre-market opportunities, and off-market properties identified through its local network. Clients have reported securing properties within approximately ten weeks of engaging the agency, and the team manages the full purchase process including offer strategy, negotiation, contract guidance and settlement coordination.

We engaged Ray and Lisa to purchase a property in Perth on our behalf based on the recommendation of a friend in early 2025. We could not fault the process and appreciated Ray and Lisa's thoroughness and level of communication. From the outset Ray ensured we were on the same page in terms of objectives and budget, and he worked to find us a house that met not only our own desires but also his carefully considered requirements too. Considering the amount of work, research and time that went into finding us a property, coupled with Ray's extensive amount of experience as a buyers agent, we considered the service to be of great value. I would not hesitate to recommend the service to prospective clients, and we hope to be a repeat client of Ray and Lisa's in the future.
Thomas Graydon · 4 months agoAs a Melbourne resident looking for an investment property in Perth, I needed expert assistance from someone who knew Perth well, understood the market dynamics and could inspect properties on my behalf. In Ray (Buyers Advocate Perth), I could not have hope to make a better choice. I had expected a Buyers Advocate to find me appropriate properties, inspect, advise and negotiate the purchase. However, with Ray I was surprised to get so much more than this. From initial research, to frank advice, to not only suburb but actually Street profiling (usually down to section of the street), inspection, suggestions on works which would need to be done and cost estimates, to liaising with potential agents for me to use, conveyancers, insurers...the list goes on. Effectively, Ray acted on my behalf, with transparency, honesty, eagerness and professionalism (better than I probably would have done myself) at all times. His analytical approach, coupled with real life practical knowledge on the property industry, helped put my mind at ease that I was making the best decision possible. On top of that, I also had his wife and business partner assisting in the search/research. They are both lovely people and act with immense integrity. I would not hesitate in recommending them to others, and if I am in a position to purchase again, would not hesitate in engaging Ray again. Welll done Buyers Advocate Perth and thanks for making my first investment property purchase so seemless.
Glenn · 3 months agoRay and Lisa were fantastic to work with. They helped us secure our future primary residence while we were still living in regional WA and unable to attend in person. They made the whole process seamless. Their knowledge of the northern coastal suburbs, along with their relationships with selling agents, meant we were able to buy in a blue‑chip coastal area for under market value. I’d recommend Ray and Lisa to anyone looking to buy a property.
liam thomas · 5 months agoRay and Lisa were absolutely outstanding. This was our first time using a buyer’s agent and we were initially apprehensive, but working with them proved to be one of the best decisions we made in our property journey. Their approach was highly data-driven, thorough, and structured. Ray and Lisa took the time to understand our goals, constraints, and long-term plans, and then guided us on how to position ourselves strategically in a competitive market. Their research, clear communication, and organisation made what could have been a stressful process feel controlled and seamless. They provided honest, objective advice at every stage, helped us avoid unsuitable properties, and gave us confidence in our final decision. Having experienced professionals advocating for us made a significant difference. I cannot recommend Ray and Lisa highly enough. If you are considering using a buyer’s agent—especially if this is your first purchase or you value a disciplined, data-backed approach—Ray and Lisa are exceptional.
Tharan Singh · 5 months agoWe recently worked with Ray and Lisa to purchase an investment property, and we genuinely couldn’t be happier with the experience. We’re extremely busy, so this purchase simply wouldn’t have happened without their support. They were detailed and thorough at every stage of the process, always on top of the finer points and making sure nothing slipped through the cracks. Their communication was excellent. They were quick, responsive, and always clear. We felt guided and well-supported the entire way through. We’re very happy with the final outcome and the property we secured. I’ll admit we had some hesitation about the cost at the beginning, but looking back, their expertise and the time they saved us made their service absolutely worth it. Highly recommend Ray and Lisa if you’re looking for a professional, reliable and genuinely committed buyers agent.
