Perth’s Trusted Buyer’s Agency

Why Buyers in Perth Use Agents to Beat the Market

TL;DR: Perth’s property market moves fast—and many buyers miss out. Rise Property Buyers helps you take the guesswork out of the process—offering real guidance, honest advice, and a steady hand when you need it most.

Key Takeaways:

  • The Perth property market is tight and competitive.
  • Buyer’s agents work exclusively for the buyer—unlike selling agents.
  • Rise Property Buyers provides personalised, outcome-driven support.
  • They assist first-home buyers, investors, and expats across Australia.
  • Local insight and connections unlock better deals.

 


How Today’s Perth Property Market Is Changing

Buying property in Perth has never been more competitive. With more people moving to WA, low rental availability, and a flood of eager buyers, it’s easy to feel like you’re constantly one step behind.

Homes attract multiple offers in days, and the best opportunities often sell before they’re listed online. Without insider knowledge or fast decision-making, many buyers miss out—or overpay in panic.

According to recent CoreLogic data, Perth’s median house price has risen significantly, while vacancy rates remain under 1%.

These market conditions favour sellers, leaving buyers at a disadvantage unless they’re well-prepared and professionally supported. That’s where a buyer’s agent comes in.

What Does a Buyer’s Agent Really Do (and Not Do)?

A buyer’s agent works for you—not the seller. They’re your personal property advisor, guiding you through every step:

  • Understanding your goals, budget, and future plans
  • Researching listed and off-market properties that match your criteria
  • Analysing suburb trends, recent sales, rental potential, and growth indicators
  • Performing due diligence on title, zoning, property condition, and resale potential
  • Coordinating inspections, valuations, contracts, and negotiations
  • Liaising with your finance broker, conveyancer, and building inspector

 

They’re here to walk with you—whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by too many options, burned out from losing offers, or unsure how to spot real value in today’s market.

A buyer’s agent acts as your advocate, ensuring that every decision supports your long-term financial and lifestyle goals—not just a quick purchase.

What Does a Buyer’s Agent Really Do (and Not Do)

Meet Rise Property Buyers – Perth’s Trusted Buyer’s Agency

Founded by Adam and Karin Nyeholt, Rise Property Buyers offers the experience of long-time investors with the hands-on care of a boutique agency. They’ve walked in your shoes—buying, renovating, and developing property themselves.

Adam brings a background in civil engineering and more than two decades of personal investment experience. Karin purchased her first property at 19 and has completed successful renovations and flips across WA. Their insights go far beyond theory—they’ve made the mistakes, learned the lessons, and now help clients avoid them.

They limit the number of clients they work with so they can act quickly, provide honest advice, and find the best fit—not just any deal.

Here’s what that looks like:

Real Outcomes:

  • Purchased a $430k Perth home off-market with a 7.3% rental yield
  • Secured a $482k investment property under market value with 6.5% yield
  • Helped a relocating family secure a $1.385M Kensington home before auction
  • Supported an expat buyer through remote purchase and settlement, fully managed
  • Advised on subdivision potential and renovations to add six-figure equity gains

These outcomes reflect a client-first mindset—where real conversations, custom strategies, and a commitment to outcomes replace generic property hunting.

Who We Help (And How We Help Them Win)

First-Home Buyers: Unsure where to start? We’ll help you stay focused, avoid emotional traps, and secure a property that builds long-term value. We guide you through finance prep, property selection, and offer strategy—so you don’t overpay or regret your choice.

Expats & Remote Buyers: Buying from afar? We handle the entire process—from inspections to contracts—so you don’t have to jump on a plane. You’ll get video walkthroughs, independent reports, and regular updates so you stay informed every step of the way.

Investors: Want a property that pays you back? We use suburb data, cash-flow analysis, and off-market access to find you a better return. Whether you’re after positive cash flow, equity growth, or long-term development potential, we build your strategy around real numbers.

Upsizers and Downsizers: We help you make your next move with clarity. Whether you need more space, want to simplify life, or are preparing for retirement, we take the time to understand what truly matters.

Specialties Include:

  • Accessing properties before they go online (off-market and pre-market deals)
  • Spotting high-yield investment suburbs in WA
  • Targeting future growth areas across greater Perth
  • Sourcing development-ready lots or small-scale subdivision sites
  • Negotiating in emotionally charged markets to protect your budget

Why Local Experience Is Your Competitive Edge

Anyone can search listings online. But knowing which street is undervalued or when a zoning change is coming? That’s where local experience matters.

Our team tracks local government planning, transport projects, school zoning shifts, and infrastructure announcements to identify which areas are likely to see increased demand.

We’ve walked the suburbs—literally. From early morning viewings to mid-renovation check-ins, we’ve stood on front lawns with clients, walked through fixer-uppers, and stood in local council queues to get answers others might miss.

We know which complexes have maintenance issues, which areas have upcoming rezoning, and which streets get too much through traffic.

And we don’t rely on one data source—we combine on-the-ground feedback with tools like:

  • CoreLogic suburb profiles and heatmaps
  • Council zoning and development applications
  • RP Data sales history and valuation modelling
  • Local rental yield and vacancy trends

This lets us build you a clear picture of short-term opportunity and long-term stability.

We also bring in trusted specialists when needed: building inspectors, finance brokers, legal pros, and more. It’s all about making your journey smoother and safer.
