About Ideal Buyer’s Agency
Ideal Buyer’s Agency is a Brisbane buyer’s agency that helps home buyers, first home buyers, interstate relocators and property investors secure their ideal property at the right price and in the right location. Founded in 2022 by Jade Fitzgerald and joined by her brother Vern, the agency operates as a dedicated family team focused exclusively on buyer representation, charging a single flat fee quoted upfront with no hidden costs.
Ideal Buyer’s Agency works with a broad range of clients, including first home buyers, busy investors, interstate relocators and SMSF property purchasers. The team builds a tailored service plan for each client and maintains close relationships with selling agents across the Brisbane market to access both listed and off-market opportunities. Their approach covers the full purchase journey, from initial brief and property search through to contract negotiation and settlement.
The agency specialises in Brisbane’s Bayside suburbs and covers a wide footprint across greater Brisbane, including Brisbane Inner City and Inner East, Brisbane Northside, Brisbane Southside, Brisbane Acreage, the Redlands, Moreton Bay and North Stradbroke Island.
Jade Fitzgerald founded the agency after first-hand experience as a home buyer, including purchasing and relocating interstate during a global pandemic and previously renovating, styling and selling a property in Sydney. Vern Fitzgerald brings a background in national sales, business development and team management, and is an active property investor who manages an SMSF portfolio with his wife. The agency has been recognised as an REIQ Buyer’s Agent of the Year finalist and was named in the 2024 Australian Women’s Small Business Champion Awards.
Ideal Buyer’s Agency charges a single flat fee, disclosed upfront before engagement begins. Clients receive direct access to both Jade and Vern throughout the purchase process. The agency offers an initial consultation to discuss the client’s brief before any commitment is made.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Vern and Jade, as they were buying an inner city tri level town house from us for their buyers. From start to finish they were professional and great to work with! They are firm negotiators, while being fair and reasonable at the same time and understand the current market. They were always contactable throughout the negotiations and were great the entire way through!
The Brad Sissons Team · 3 months agoOnce again Jade and Vern at Ideal Buyers Agency found the perfect home. This time, as the local family member on the ground assisting for family looking to relocate from interstate. The ideal team took all the weight and stress, which allowed for an informed purchase of a property site unseen. Endless photos, videos and research into each potential property ensured no small detail was missed and the buyers could purchase with confidence. In this challenging and very competitive market, the team’s expertise makes all the difference in securing a property. They take care of all interactions with the agent, negotiations and contract reviews. We will never buy a house without Jade & Vern again. We are forever thankful! Cheers to another memorable journey!
Jared Liddy · 3 months agoWe engaged Jade and Vern after realising that navigating a competitive property market was going to take some skill and knowledge that we were not equipped with. Before engaging Jade, we had spent several weeks trying to navigate the market ourselves without luck. We had also been quoted buyers agency prices which were beyond unreasonable. We found Jade after searching high and low for a suitable buyers agent. I immediately felt that her prices were reasonable and that she would be able to get the job done for us. We were not let down. Jade and Vern worked tirelessly to find us our dream home, putting in many hours that we simply didn’t have ourselves. They found homes on and off market which met and exceeded our expectations. In the end we were able to purchase an amazing home at a great price thanks to Jade and Vern’s consistent efforts behind the scenes. I have no hesitation in recommending Jade and Vern to anyone searching for their perfect home.
Nick Allen · 4 months agoI can't thank Jade and Vern from Ideal Buyers Agency enough. From day one I knew we were in excellent hands. Both working tirelessly, professionly, as a team, presenting us with a great varity of homes and locations, at the same time supporting us a long the way with information and honest feed back allowing us to secur our new home from interstate. Jade and Vern were refered to us by family members which had used Ideal Buyers Agency before and like them we wouldn't have our lovely new home with out them. Jade and Vern worked their magic many times for us getting us a wonderful deal, in a wonderful location and we can't wait to start our new life in qld. THANK YOU SO MUCH :) Cheryl Liddy
Cheryl Liddy · 3 months agoI had been trying to purchase my first property for a few months before engaging with Jade, and the process felt quite daunting. From the moment Jade stepped in, everything became so much easier. She was incredibly reassuring, knowledgeable, and genuinely understanding of my concerns as a first-time buyer. Thanks to her support and guidance, I was able to settle on my first property within just a few weeks. The entire experience, from initial engagement to final settlement, was seamless. Communication was always prompt and clear, even after hours, which made a huge difference. I truly felt supported every step of the way. I couldn’t be happier with the service and would highly recommend Jade to anyone navigating the property market!
