How it works

You are not doing this on your own

There is no account manager and no handover to a junior. Paul is the one who sits with you at every step, and he is still there long after settlement.

Questions people ask us

What does Merritt Property Group do?

Merritt 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.

How does a buyer’s agent work?

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.

What does it cost?

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.

I’m a tradie on ABN income. Can I still invest?

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.
