About House Finder
House Finder is a Sydney-based, investment-only buyer’s agency that sources off-market properties up to 20% below market value across Australia’s capital cities, helping investors build large, sustainable property portfolios with strong capital growth and high rental yields. Voted #1 Buyers Agent at the Australian Buyers Agent Awards 2026, House Finder has assisted over 2,000 clients and acquired more than 4,000 off-market properties since its inception.
House Finder works exclusively with property investors — from first-time buyers entering the market to experienced investors scaling portfolios of 100 or more properties. The agency’s methodology centres on a data-driven acquisition process: identifying undervalued assets through proprietary market analysis, verifying pricing against independent bank valuations, and leveraging an extensive network of real estate agents and private sellers to access properties before they reach the public. The team conducts its own on-the-ground inspections, providing clients with 100-plus photos and video walkthroughs that document any defects prior to a formal building and pest inspection.
House Finder operates across Australia’s major capital cities, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide. The agency has a documented track record sourcing investment properties in areas such as Logan City Council in South East Queensland and broader South East Queensland corridors, as well as markets across New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia, and South Australia.
House Finder was founded by Simon Loo, one of Australia’s prominent property investors, who achieved $100,000 per year in passive income within seven years of purchasing his first investment property while earning approximately $100,000 annually in his day job. Simon leads strategy and client relationships directly, serving as a personal mentor to many existing clients. The team is supported by on-the-ground staff in each capital city market who conduct due diligence and property inspections.
House Finder begins every engagement with a free strategy session to understand the client’s goals, budget, and timeline. The team then presents a curated selection of off-market, high-cashflow, and below-market-value properties tailored to those requirements. Post-purchase support, including periodic portfolio reviews and coordination of solicitors, mortgage brokers, property managers, and building and pest contacts, is provided at no additional fee. The typical timeframe to secure a property is six to twelve weeks.

We had a fantastic experience working with Simon as our buyers agent. From the start, he was honest, patient, and really listened to what we wanted. He understood our budget and showed us properties that truly matched our needs. Simon made the whole process simple and stress-free. He guided us step by step and explained everything in very clear and simple language. When it came to negotiating, he worked hard and helped us secure a fantastic property at a very reasonable price. We honestly believe we would not have achieved this result without him. We always felt that Simon was on our side and genuinely cared about getting us the best outcome. We are very happy with our purchase and highly recommend Simon to anyone looking to buy a property.
Van Arn · 2 months agoWe came across Simon through his podcast on YouTube, and after listening to him, we felt he might be the right person to help us find a property — and he absolutely did not disappoint. Simon and his team have been extremely professional from day one. They kept us informed at every step, sharing their findings and guiding us through the entire process with transparency and care. We have now purchased two properties with their help — one in Melbourne, Victoria and another in Perth, WA — and we couldn’t be happier. We are grateful and thankful for the fantastic job they have done. We were even able to achieve solid capital growth from day one. We definitely recommend Simon and the HF team. You will not regret it. Thank you!
Carlos Viasus · 3 months agoI just purchased my first IP through Simon and the team. A fantastic experience from start to finish. Very welcoming with no pressure or obligation. They guide you through all steps, are easily reachable for any questions during the process and can help with any additional services that you may require during the purchase. I'm excited to build my portfolio with them working with me again, without a doubt! Thanks to the whole team for your expertise and transparency throughout the whole process. Thank you guys, it was a pleasure to work with you!
Daniel Harrower · 3 months agoI couldn't have made a better choice engaging House Finder. I did my research before engaging Simon and his team. They didn't put on the hard sell. They were transparent, gave me the facts, could clearly evidence recent successful outcomes and challenged me to be clear about my purpose and goals before signing up. I respected that. Since engaging House Finder late last year, they've already secured two excellent investments, earning me immediate substantive equity, one with a 5.8% rental yield. The team are efficient and well-oiled. They know what they're doing and anticipate questions with the detailed information they share on potential purchases. They have a relationship with everyone you need to purchase a property e.g., law firm, tax depreciation specialists, my mortgage broker and local leasing agents. I barely lift a finger throughout the entire process. The team set up a WhatsApp group where I can connect with team members anytime, including Simon. All are responsive and very helpful. I look forward to continue working with House Finder.
Danika Sarkar · 3 months agoIf you’re looking to invest in property you need an expert team to do this to maximise your portfolio potential. House Finder is the only team you need. Simon was influential and knowledgeable, took time to discuss all areas of property investment and made the process simple. It’s a daunting first step, so having confidence in your experts is paramount. I was also introduced to other experts to support the acquisition, from broker, conveyancer, estate agents to accountant. Communication is key, so having one unified team was critical in execution with pace and efficiency. Could not recommend enough, whether it be your first time investing or experienced!
