You earn well but the money is not building anything
Plenty of Australians on solid incomes, tradies especially, get to their forties with nothing working for them outside the day job. Property fixes that, if the first purchase is right.
You do not have 20 hours a week to research markets
Suburb data, builder contracts, rental appraisals, land releases. It is a second job. That is the job you hand to us.
You have heard the pushy pitch before
"Last one at this price." We are the opposite of that. Independent, buyer-side only, and paid by you, so nobody is moving stock onto you.
You want the numbers, not the brochure
Every property we publish comes with the purchase price, the current value, the source and the date. Have a look at the results and judge for yourself.
Step one is only a conversation. Nothing is signed, nothing is sold.
Step 1
We get to the heart of why you are investing: retirement, the kids, income. Your reasons shape everything that follows.
Step 2
We build the strategy, then source properties that match it, many off market and gone before they are ever advertised. You see the numbers behind every option.
Step 3
We negotiate, manage the purchase through to keys in hand, and stay across the portfolio as markets move.
Every figure is published with its source and date. No cherry-picked averages.

That is how Paul Merritt starts with most clients. A third-generation real estate professional with more than 30 years in property, building and development, Paul founded Merritt Property Group on a simple position: understand why someone is investing before showing them a single property.
Merritt Property Group is truly independent. We act for you alone, with no developer commissions and no stock to move. And we are property investors ourselves, so we know exactly what the decision feels like from your side of the table.
More about Paul and how we are paidMerritt Property Group is an independent buyer’s agency based in Queensland, Australia. We help everyday Australians build a property portfolio, specialising in new house and land packages in growth areas Australia-wide. We act for the buyer only, never for sellers or developers.
You tell us your goals and budget. We research markets, source properties (many off market), do the due diligence, negotiate the price and manage the process to settlement. You make every decision; we do the legwork and act only in your interest.
We charge the buyer a fee for the sourcing and purchase work, agreed up front before we start. We take no commissions from sellers, builders or developers, so our advice is not tied to any stock we need to move. Fees are covered on the how it works page.
No. Merritt Property Group is an Australian buyer’s agency founded by Paul Merritt, based in Queensland, helping Australian property investors. It has no connection to Merritt Properties, a commercial developer in Maryland, USA.
No. We are based in Queensland and know the SEQ growth corridors deeply, but we source Australia-wide. Our published client results include purchases in Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, the Northern Territory and Victoria.
Yes. Self-employed income needs more paperwork, not a bigger deposit. Many of our clients run trade businesses. Lender policies differ a lot for ABN income, which is why we work alongside brokers who know self-employed lending well.
