Brisbane's Southern Suburbs Specialist

I buy the homes you keep losing to someone else

I've spent 15 years buying property across Brisbane's southern suburbs. I know which streets have legs, which vendors will move on price, and which properties get sold before anyone lists them.

The seller has their own agent. You should have someone too!

No obligation. Just an honest conversation.

The reality

You're doing everything right
So why don't you have a house?

Pre-approved. Showing up to every open home. Submitting offers. Losing anyway.

You drove to four inspections last Saturday. Two had problems the photos skipped over. One sold before you made it through the door. The fourth went $40K above what you thought was fair.

Meanwhile, the suburb you had your eye on six months ago has moved out of your budget.

“I stopped missing out”

I have been missing out on so many properties until I reached out to Leanne at Niche Buyers Agents. She has been fantastic to deal with and very knowledgeable, making the process seamless! Highly recommend.

How it works

Four steps. One outcome

  1. 01

    We talk

    Free, no pitch. I want to know what you're actually looking for — the commute, the school zone, the street you'd say no to regardless. And I want to know what's gone wrong. Most searches aren't stuck because of budget. They're stuck because the strategy is off.

  2. 02

    I go looking

    I talk to agents in the inner south, bayside and western suburbs daily. I've become someone they call before a listing goes live. You'll see properties other buyers don't know exist yet — and I'll bring you two or three worth your time, not twenty.

  3. 03

    We check everything

    Before any offer goes in: building and pest, flood overlays, comparable sales, so you know what the property is actually worth.

  4. 04

    I negotiate

    I've bought well below comparable sales many times. The gap between what a property sells for and what it could have sold for often comes down to who's doing the talking. I handle auctions and private treaty. You don't have to be in the room.

Where we buy

South East Brisbane

I know these suburbs the way most people know their own street.

Inner South

Annerley · Yeronga · Greenslopes

Moves fast and runs hot on off-market activity.

Bayside

Wynnum · Manly · Morningside

Motivated buyers move quickly — knowing who's quietly thinking about selling is most of the job.

Western Suburbs

Indooroopilly · Chelmer · Graceville

Competitive auction conditions and families chasing school catchments.

Logan region

Springwood · Beenleigh · Eight Mile Plains

I know which pockets to buy into now and which to skip.

Who I help

Five buyers I work with most

Different briefs, same problem: the right home keeps slipping through your fingers. Here's how I help each.

01

First home buyers

I'll protect you from emotional offers and make sure you know what you're actually buying.

02

Families upsizing

You have equity, a deadline, and no appetite for another drawn-out search.

03

Interstate investors

You can't inspect from Sydney or Melbourne. I'll give you an honest read, not just confirm what you want to hear.

04

Time-poor professionals

Your time is worth money. I'll handle the search and bring you in when it counts.

05

Expats coming home

Brisbane changed while you were away. Some of the suburbs that were affordable when you left have moved up in price.

Why me

One objective.
Yours

  • Buyers only

    I only work for buyers. No listings. No referral fees. No developer relationships. One objective.

  • I know this patch specifically

    Southern suburbs only. A decade of the same streets, the same agents, the same pockets. That knowledge can't be shortcut.

  • The off-market access is real

    My off-market rate is what it looks like when local agents actually call you before they list. It comes from years of closing deals cleanly.

Reviews

What clients say after settlement

★★★★★
We got in touch with Leanne when we were living in Brisbane and wanted to purchase a property on the Gold Coast. Leanne has so many connections in the real estate industry and she helped us find the property we had envisioned. Leanne was fantastic during the negotiation stage, she won us our home. We moved in earlier this year and couldn't have done it without her. Thank you so much Leanne!

Leanne was instrumental in the successful purchase of my home. Her deep understanding of the sales process and legal documentation, strong communication, and proactive approach gave me confidence every step of the way. She went above and beyond—negotiating on my behalf and finding opportunities before properties hit the market. Her down to earth approach with me helped minimise the stress to the buying process. I highly recommend her and will definitely return to her for all my future real estate needs.

I had a fantastic experience working with Leanne. She was extremely knowledgeable about the real estate industry and guided me through every step of the buying process. She provided me with short lists of properties based on my specifications and attended open houses taking videos, which was incredibly helpful given I couldn't attend in person. Leanne's current market knowledge enabled me to purchase my property at a fair price. Leanne made a stressful process easier to navigate. If you are thinking of purchasing give Leanne at Niche a call, you won't regret it!

We recently used Leanne from Niche Buyers Agent to secure an investment property in Brisbane, and we couldn't recommend her more highly! As overseas buyers, we were nervous about navigating the process from afar, but Leanne made it absolutely seamless. From day one, she was incredibly proactive—scouting options, handling all the upfront investigations, and sharing her deep knowledge of the Brisbane market to guide us toward the best opportunities.

What stood out was her flexibility and willingness to go the extra mile. She tailored everything to our schedule and needs, and in a tough market, she managed to snag us an off-market gem within just 8 weeks. Even post-purchase, she's been a lifesaver, coordinating settlement details and stepping in with project management to prep the property for tenants. It's rare to find such dedicated, hands-on support that turns a stressful buy into a breeze. If you're investing in QLD, Leanne is your go-to—pure gold!

I had such a positive experience working with Leanne. She was incredibly patient, kind, and supportive throughout the entire process. As a first-time investor, I had a lot of questions and she never made me feel rushed or overwhelmed. Her guidance was thoughtful and steady, and I always felt like she had my best interests at heart. I'm so grateful for her help in finding the right property and for making what could have been a stressful journey feel calm and manageable. Highly recommend!

Questions

The honest answers
most people want

Still wondering if a buyer's agent is right for you? Here's what I'm asked most.

Can't I just negotiate myself?

You could, but it's risky... as the person on the other side does this every week, and their job is to get the highest price for someone else. I assure you'll never overpay buying a property, when I negotiate on your behalf.

What does it cost?

We charge a small percentage of the final purchase price. You'll know exactly what you're paying — regardless of what the property costs — in advance.

How long does a search take?

My average is 6 to 8 weeks. Without a buyer's agent, the typical southern Brisbane buyer searches 9 to 18 months.

Do you work with investors?

About 40% of my clients are investors, most of whom buy from interstate.

What if nothing comes up?

We keep looking. You'll never feel rushed by me.
