JC Maguire
"After battling for several months to buy a townhouse I was very weary just trying to negotiate the price and close the sale. I rang Edwards & Smith who were referred to me by a Real Estate Agent, set up a meeting with Ely and within 3 weeks I had closed the sale on a townhouse in Cleveland in a prime position. Ely's negotiating skills were amazing and the purchase price was well below the asking price - about $40k. Ely also smoothed out the bumps along the way to settlement day and believe me there were a few!! I am extremely happy with the service I received and my new home!"
Caleb Williams
"Working with Jake and Ely to purchase a property was a very simple and straight forward process. They took all the stress off us and helped keep us calm during the purchasing process. We ended up getting a dream property at a great price and would highly recommend using their services when looking for a home."
Nicholas McCluskey
"Always a great experience working with Ely and his team. Market knowledge is second to none with a highly efficient process in place to ensure no stone is left unturned in his search, as a result, Ely has purchased several properties through me off and on market for his clients. As an agent I deal with different buyers agents everyday so I can confidently say Ely is one of the best I have worked with. Looking forward to working together again soon!"
Juliana Gomes
"Jake from Edward & Smith Buyers Agent is excellent! His deep market knowledge, proactive approach, and genuine care for his client set him apart. He consistently goes above and beyond to find the perfect property, making the entire buying process seamless. Highly recommend!"
Dylan Pappalardo
"Jake & Emma have supported my clients since we met and have always gone above and beyond. They understand the current market, trends and always deliver a solution. I wouldn't be seen using anyone else in Gold Coast/Brisbane. These guys get the job done."
Shaw Build
"We worked with Emma to buy our first home and she was incredible! She listened to everything we wanted, took the time to find properties that ticked all of our boxes and never pressured us to make any decisions we weren’t 100% on. When it finally came to signing contracts and finalising our purchase, Emma went above and beyond, explained contracts, and made the entire process so seamless. We are so grateful for her help as if it wasn’t for Emma we would have never purchased!"
Deb Dakin
"A very worthwhile investment when we engaged Ely to assist us. Would recommend Edwards & Smith without hesitation."
Katie Rogers
"Emma made my first time purchasing very stress free and Enjoyable. Emma is very professional, honest, proactive and is exceptional at communication. Emma helped me find the property of by dreams within 5 days. "
Alison Anderson
"We can't thank Jake and his team enough for the wonderful service provided with buying our investment property. Living interstate proved difficult to find a property that suited our needs , but after several months of frustration and time wasting , we contacted Jake and his team. Within days we had multiple properties to look at and found what we were looking for within a few weeks . The communication was brilliant throughout the whole purchase and was well worth using a buyers agent to eliminate time, stress and inspections .This helped us make informed decisions and nothing was ever too much trouble. Thank you Jake and team , we will certainly use your services for our next purchase and will recommend you to friends and family . We would still be looking for a property if it wasn't for you !"
Trent Hones
"I have dealt with Jake and Jess on 2 occasions where I was the selling agent. Both times they have been able to secure a property off market for their clients effectively removing any competition from other buyers. They are extremely efficient and quick in responding to any issue that may occur. They represent their clients well and I have no issue in recommending them to any potential buyer I come across"
Veronica Cook
"From the moment i met Ely and Emma there was a connection. I was searching for a property on my own but was having endless grief with agents not returning calls or communicating....perhaps because the market is so active they didnt need too! Ely and Emma took at that grief away. After providing a brief on what we wanted, they swiftly moved into action. A property was located quickly, best of all at a price I couldn't have negotiated myself with agents, competing with the queues of people viewing similar homes. I believe we potentially saved $40k to $60k off market purchase price using Ely and Emma's services."
Leesa Potter
"This was our first time engaging a Buyers Agent and Ely’s professional negotiating skills delivered an excellent result within weeks which was outstanding considering the current market conditions and limited available stock. We would highly recommend Edwards & Smith Buyers Agents. Ely was amazing throughout the entire process."
David Gleig
"After getting a reference from a friend who had a great success story working with Jake Edwards, I needed a buyers agent to help buy an investment property in QLD. 12months on and we have completed two home purchases with Jake, Ely and Emma. There are some buyers agents that want crazy money for their services and you almost need to laugh, I found these guys to be priced in a way that made sense, at a fixed price for the service. On both occasions they have paid for themselves in one way or another and taken the pressure off buying. Great communication. You can always get a hold of someone even on the weekend, evening and public holidays if it’s important. A no brainer. 5 stars. "
Jason Millard
"Jake and Jess were very professional and didn’t give up until our new home was found. Our new house meets everything that we communicated in our briefing! I know for sure we wouldn’t have secured our home at auction without them. Highly recommend"
Sam Skinner
"Ely helped my wife and I buy our first home. The process was made so easy through the help of Ely and we were able to find exactly what we were looking for, for a price we wouldn’t have been able to get by ourselves. So grateful for Ely’s help and would highly recommend Edwards and Smith Buyers Agents to anyone looking to get into the market!"
Ananya P
"I went to Edwards & Smith in a bit of a crisis searching for property with tight personal constraints and I was working with Emma to get my purchase through. I cannot vouch for her enough, her professionalism, being a set of eyes and ears that are more experienced than mine and my partner's, and somehow came up with a result at a lower price point that reflected everything we wanted. Highly communicative and actively did her best to accommodate all of my idiosyncrasies. Emma is a great listener and really cares about her clients - thought i'd regret paying for a buyer's agent, but I don't think i've made a better decision during my house purchase journey. Me and mine have a first home, and honestly I don't think I could have done it without Emma and Edwards & Smith."
Savannah Hope
"Edwards & Smith was highly recommended from the start of my partner and I’d property journey. Jake was our first point of contact and from the beginning, he was efficient, and understanding of our inexperience as first-time buyers. He quickly connected us with Dylan who was with us through every step of the process Dylan and Jake were always available. From our first call with Jake to our loan approval, the entire process was simple and all handled with us. We couldn’t have asked for a better team."
jessie butts
"My husband and I were on the hunt for a set of townhouses to add to our investment portfolio. Being based in another state, we anticipated some challenges with researching and purchasing property remotely. That's why we decided to work with Ely, and we couldn’t have made a better choice! From the very beginning, Ely showcased professionalism, efficiency, and excellent communication, guiding us through each stage of the process. We were absolutely thrilled when Ely not only found us the perfect investment within just four weeks, but also negotiated an incredible deal that was 250k below the asking price. We highly recommend Ely and the entire team for their dedication and expertise!"
jaymee gilbert
"We recently had the pleasure of working with Emma on a successful transaction, and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Throughout the process, she was professional, proactive, and a great communicator, making the entire deal seamless for both her buyer and our seller. Emma’s attention to detail and commitment to finding the right property for her client was evident from start to finish. She negotiated with confidence, ensured everything progressed smoothly, and was a pleasure to deal with. Looking forward to working together again in the future! Highly recommend Emma to anyone looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable buyer’s agent"
trent nattrass
"Working with Jake to purchase our first home was an absolute pleasure. He guided us through the entire process with ease, making what could have been stressful feel seamless. Thanks to his expertise, we found a home that ticked every box on our brief - and even came in well under budget. We couldn’t be happier. You’re the man, Jake!"
Molly Brown
"Jake was my first point of contact at Edwards & Smith, and from the start, he was professional, efficient, and incredibly understanding of my inexperience as a first-time buyer. He quickly connected me with Mackenzie, who guided me through every step of the process with patience and expertise. No question was too small—Mackenzie was always available, providing clear answers and reassurance whenever I needed it. From my first call with Jake to my loan approval, the entire process took just over four weeks. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to help me secure my first home! Highly recommend "

FAQS

What areas do you service?

We are a Queensland based business that primarily service Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Bali. 

Who do we service?

We service time-poor professionals who are no longer wanting to deal with sales agents and the constant running around that comes with property hunting. Our clients often experience buyer’s fatigue and are tired of missing out on opportunities. They are also concerned about overpaying and seek professional advice to navigate the process. We’ve helped a wide range of clients, from first home buyers with budgets as low as $550,000, to those purchasing holiday homes in Noosa for up to $7,000,000. We believe everyone should have access to and be able to afford a buyer’s agent, ensuring a smoother, more informed property journey.

Why engage a Buyers Agent?

A buyer’s agent acts solely on your behalf to represent your best interests through your property journey. A buyer’s agent receives no monetary incentives from third parties like real estate agents or property sellers when assisting their clients. We give you advice on the areas you’re looking at based on your budget & market insights, not to mention our goal is to come in under your budget. We take you through the entire process from researching to final settlement day and look at over 40 properties per week on your behalf. One of the big advantages of using a buyer’s agents is access to properties, through valuable relationships, buyer’s agents are able to give you access to properties before they even hit the market.
