About Australian Property Experts – Buyers Agent
Australian Property Experts is a Parramatta-based, Australia-wide buyer’s agency that helps time-poor investors research, negotiate, and purchase investment properties across every Australian state and territory. Founded by investors for investors, the agency operates as a boutique practice with deliberately low client numbers, ensuring every buyer works directly with Peter, the founder and principal, from initial strategy through to settlement.
Australian Property Experts works exclusively with property investors — from first-time buyers purchasing their first interstate investment to experienced owners looking to grow an existing portfolio. Their methodology is built around Apex, a proprietary property intelligence platform developed in-house that scores every suburb in Australia across more than 50 data points, including rental yield, vacancy rates, days on market, population growth, and supply constraints. The team also produces independent property valuations using recent comparable sales before any offer is made, and models portfolio growth projections for each client so equity compounding can be tracked over time.
The agency purchases investment properties across all Australian capital cities and regional markets, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Gold Coast, Canberra, Hobart, and Darwin. Where a property is purchased depends on the client’s budget and 10-year strategy rather than geographic proximity to the office.
The agency was founded by Peter Ly, who, together with his partner Jody, owns 18 investment properties across multiple Australian states. The broader Australian Property Experts team collectively holds close to 40 investment properties. The agency takes no developer commissions and charges a flat fee rather than a percentage of the purchase price. Eighty-six per cent of properties secured for clients are sourced off-market through the agency’s nationwide selling-agent network, and clients have on average paid $24,000 below market value at purchase.
Engagements begin with a free 15-minute discovery call to discuss goals, budget, and timeline. After a strategy session, the team handles all research, inspections, negotiation, and settlement coordination. Clients typically secure a property within one to eight weeks of engaging the agency. A purpose-built client portal tracks every step of the purchase, including shortlists, contracts, building and pest reports, and portfolio performance post-settlement. A seven-day money-back guarantee applies from the date of signing.

Reviews from Google
After selling our Queensland investment property, we spoke with four buyers’ agents before connecting with Peter. From the first chat, he stood out as positive, realistic, and very easy to understand, with genuine passion for what he does. It only took four properties to secure a great deal within our budget in regional NSW. Peter guided us confidently through a fast-moving process, reassured us it was a solid investment, and even helped liaise with the agent, resulting in a tenant secured pre-settlement. Overall, a 10/10 experience. If you’re looking for a reliable buyer’s agent, give Peter a call — you won’t regret it. I will definitely get in touch with him for our next one.

Bao Vu · 5 months agoPeter recently assisted his client in purchasing a property in Sunshine North, through our Real Estate Office, the home was purchased off market. I was impressed with the way he managed the process from start to finish. He clearly understood what his client was looking for and conducted all the necessary checks to ensure the right decision was made. Peter demonstrated strong knowledge of both the local market and the area, which ultimately helped his client secure a great investment property. His professionalism and attention to detail made the transaction smooth and successful.
Lilian Farrugia · 9 months agoWe purchased our first investment property through Peter towards the end of 2024. Peter was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and transparent throughout the entire process. It was evident that he really took the time to understand what we were looking for in terms of our budget, risk appetite, area, short- and long-term goals and guided us through the whole process. His communication was great, was able to respond quickly to all our questions. Peter was such a pleasure to work with and we’re looking to purchase our second property with him in the coming months. Highly recommend Peter and the Australian Property Experts for anyone looking to begin their investment journey or looking for a new trustworthy and professional buyer’s agent.
