About Us
But first things first - we want to know who you are and what you want to achieve.
"Understanding the client and being entirely client focused ultimately ensures first class results"
Vendor Advocacy
Most vendor advocates sit on the sidelines and provide opinions based on the selected agent’s feedback. We keep them accountable by actively getting involved in the campaign by;
- Assisting in preparing the property for sale
- Choosing the best method of sale & right sales strategy
- Conducting inspections where required & providing first hand feedback rather than rely on the feedback from your selected agent where conditioning on price regularly occurs.
- Getting involved in negotiations where required
Buyer Advocacy
Choose from:
- Full Service – Search to Settlement
- Appraisal to Negotiation
- Auction Bidding
Search to Settlement
The 5 Step Process
1. Needs Discovery
We listen, learn and understand what your needs are; what’s important to you; what budget you are working with; and what’s your purpose in purchasing a property. The initial consultation is free.
2. Source
The search begins for properties that meet your needs. We find properties that are on market and “off market” (i.e. listings that are no advertised online)
3. Property Assessment & Evaluation
We shortlist the best properties for you to consider, provide expert advice on location, size, property type & features, orientation, floorplan.
We coordinate services to assist in the purchase, such as building & pest inspections, financiers and legal advice to review the contract of sale. We also contact the local council and Owners Corporations to assess any restrictions, covenants, building works or special levies that may affect the property & or building’s future value.
We conduct a comprehensive assessment of the estimated market value of the property, the estimated rental return, and provide a competitive market analysis report for you to review.
4. Negotiation & Acquisition
As the seller has professional representation through an estate agent so should you! We act on your behalf at auction, bid and negotiate, to achieve the right price and best possible terms and conditions.
Whether the property is sold prior to auction; under the hammer; passes in at auction, or is being sold via private treaty or expression of interest, this is where an expert can make all the difference.
5. Settlement Completion
We support you while the property is under contract, as you conduct a final inspection, right until you pick up the keys!
Professional Fee for Service
An initial engagement fee is payable to start the search. Upon a successful purchase, a professional fee is payable.
Appraisal & Negotiation
Congratulations on finding the property that is right for you! Now you need to buy it and not overpay. Easier said than done! We can provide an objective assessment of the property’s market value and conduct a thorough due diligence on the property.
We may uncover future property related costs that you may have overlooked, such as building levies; reveal future development, that may diminish or improve a property’s value and share our market intelligence to ensure you make a good buy!

Auction Bidding / Negotiation
Residential real estate can be an emotional rollercoaster and there are countless stories of people walking away from auctions heartbroken or hurt in the hip-pocket. Put your faith in our experience and take the stress out of buying the property you desire. We bid on your behalf and use
- Various strategies to ensure we have the best chance of holding the winning bid
- Prevent you from paying too much in the heat of the moment
- Our calm approach when the property passes in, taking the stress out of negotiating with vendors and agents.
We also ensure you are fully briefed and prepared prior to the auction. We establish the estimated market value, try to uncover the vendors expectations and motivations & level of buyer interest in the property to ensure by auction day you are celebrating.

What Clients Say
Don’t just take our word for it
During our sales campaign, we found Leonard to be the consummate professional. His punctuality, honesty and general pleasant manner took the stress out of the process.
Dale & Sarah
Leonard Siragusa at all times maintained a high standard of professionalism, accurate and frequent communications and the sensitivity required when selling someone’s home.
Nick
Leonard Siragusa is an exemplary real estate professional. He was honest, attentive, a great communicator and solid negotiator. I loved his open communication as he kept me informed throughout the whole transaction and did not play any of the mind games. I will definitely use Leonard in the future and I highly recommend him.
Heidi
Hey Leonard, Just wanted to say you made the whole process of buying a house smooth and with no dramas. You were very responsive, exceeded all expectations and was amazing to deal with. Thanks sooo much for all your help Leonard. Hope to deal with you again in the near future. 10 out 10 service!
Dylan
From start to finish of the process of selling our home, we could not have asked more of Leonard. Leonard worked very hard to address any of our concerns, provided invaluable advice, was always there if we needed to talk and above all was very truthful and honest even with any information you might not want to hear! As a result, our campaign exceeded our expectations and so did the sale of our house – all of which Leonard was a crucial part of. Above all Leonard’s actions and style of working can say more than any testimonial – all we can say is that if we were to rate Leonard, he would definitely score 10/10.
Emma & Gary
Reliability - did Leonard always do what he said he would do? - Yes. Honesty - did Leonard present himself as honest and trustworthy and was this self-presentation exhibited in his behaviour? - Yes. Negotiations with possible buyers - did Leonard take opportunities to develop a dialogue with possible buyers relevant to cost effective and realistic market values? - Yes. Sensitivity to seller needs and aspirations - excellent. I am pleased with Leonard’s performance and have pleasure in recommending his services.
