A Perth buyers agency focused on long-term property decisions
Buyers Advocate Perth is an independent buyers agency helping home buyers and property investors make better long-term property decisions. We search, assess and negotiate on your behalf — so you can buy with clarity, not pressure.
Buying property is one of life’s bigger decisions, and it deserves calm, considered thinking.
In a changing Perth property market, knowing what to buy, what to avoid and what to pay matters more than ever.
Some properties attract strong competition. Others offer more room for negotiation. But more choice doesn’t necessarily make it easier to recognise a genuinely good opportunity.
Most of our clients are capable, thoughtful buyers. They’ve done their research, spoken to friends, and spent countless weekends at home opens. What they’re often missing isn’t effort, it’s the local insight and independent perspective needed to separate a promising property from one that may disappoint over time.
That’s where we come in.
We look beyond the asking price and recent market activity to assess the fundamentals that matter over the long term — location quality, scarcity, land value, owner-occupier appeal and the compromises a property may require.
We search, assess and negotiate on your behalf, helping you recognise when a property is worth pursuing, when the price needs to be challenged and when it’s better to walk away.
Because buying well isn’t about seeing more properties. It’s about making better decisions.

How We Help
Whether you’re buying a home or an investment property, our role is the same: to help you make a well-informed decision based on quality, value and long-term suitability.
We help you distinguish genuine opportunities from properties that simply look appealing, understand which compromises are worth making, and negotiate with a clear appreciation of market conditions and the property’s underlying value.
Buying A Home
Buying with clarity, not pressure
Guidance for buyers who want their next home to feel right — and still stand up as a sound decision over time.
Investment Property
Assets You Can Hold — Through Any Market
Calm, fundamentals-led guidance to help you secure high-quality assets that hold up across market cycles — and feel comfortable to own over time.
The Problem: Not All Properties Are Created Equal
Two properties in the same suburb, at similar asking prices, can offer very different long-term prospects.
One may have strong land value, a desirable location and enduring owner-occupier appeal. Another may carry compromises that limit its future desirability, even if it looks attractive today.
A changing market can make these differences harder to interpret. Some sellers may continue to expect premium prices, while others become more realistic. More properties to choose from doesn’t necessarily mean more properties worth buying.
Without a disciplined approach to property selection, valuation and negotiation, buyers risk paying too much, overlooking important compromises or mistaking a lower asking price for genuine value.
Our Solution: Expert Advocates with High Standards
Expertise
Deep Perth market knowledge to help distinguish location quality, property fundamentals and genuine value from short-term market noise.
High Standards
We assess properties carefully and reject those that don’t meet our selection standards. More choice doesn’t mean compromising on quality.
Advocacy
Independent advice, thoughtful offer strategies and disciplined negotiation. We help you recognise when to act, what price makes sense and when to walk away.
Sometimes that means buying. Sometimes it means waiting. Both can be good decisions when supported by sound judgement.
Our Buying Process
Step
01
Consultation
We start with a free, no-obligation conversation. This is where we slow things down and get clear on what matters — your goals, constraints, timing, and tolerance for risk. Rather than jumping into listings, we focus on:
— what you’re trying to achieve (now and longer term)
— what you want to avoid
— and what a “good decision” looks like for you.
Because buying well starts with understanding the decision—not simply searching for more properties.
From there, we outline a clear plan for the search — and whether working together feels like the right fit.
Book a no-pressure consultationStep
02
Property Search
With a clear brief in place, we do the legwork. We actively monitor the market and shortlist properties that align with your criteria and long-term fundamentals — filtering out the many that don’t make the cut. Depending on availability, this may include:
— publicly listed properties
— early or pre-market opportunities
— properties identified through our local network.
Our role isn’t to show you more properties. It’s to filter out the many that don’t deserve your attention.
Book a no-pressure consultationStep
03
Property Evaluation
When a strong candidate emerges, we go deeper. Each property is carefully assessed for:
— location quality and neighbourhood context
— land value, zoning, and constraints
— strengths, trade-offs, and potential risks
— comparable sales, current market conditions, and an evidence-based assessment of fair value
— how the decision is likely to hold up over time.
You receive a clear, balanced assessment of the property’s quality, risks and value, so you can distinguish a genuine opportunity from a property that is simply available. Sometimes our most valuable advice is to walk away.
Book a no-pressure consultationStep
04
Purchase
Once you’re comfortable proceeding, we handle the negotiation and purchase process on your behalf. This includes:
— offer strategy and timing
— negotiation with the selling agent
— guidance through contract and settlement.
Our objective is not simply to secure the property. It is to negotiate the best achievable terms, informed by comparable sales, seller circumstances, competing buyer interest and the property’s underlying value. We want you to feel comfortable with both what you’ve bought and what you’ve paid.
Book a no-pressure consultationIs this the right approach for you?
This process tends to work best for people who:
-
are making a decision they plan to live with for years, not months
-
value clarity and confidence over speed
-
want help filtering options, not being pushed into one
-
prefer calm guidance rather than pressure or hype.
It may not be the right fit if you’re:
— chasing short-term market moves
— looking to buy as quickly as possible
— or wanting certainty before making any decision.
And that’s okay.
The aim isn’t to suit everyone — it’s to help the right people buy well and feel comfortable with their decisions over time.
If this way of thinking resonates, the first step is simply a conversation.
No obligation. No pressure.

I would highly recommend anyone to Have Buyers Advocate Perth help with finding their home. We were trying to buy in a tricky marketplace at a tricky time, and it was getting too hard for us to navigate all the pitfalls with being full-time working parents. Ray and Lisa made the whole experience easy, smooth and stress-free. I know it cost a little extra to have someone help but it was honestly worth every penny and they saved us money in the end anyway through their expert negotiations. We found the perfect house for us with minimal stress. Ray and Lisa are working parents like us so I felt they 'got' our situation and were very responsive to our queries, no matter how small. Every step of the way was made easier because of Ray and Lisa. My only regret is that we didn't use Ray and Lisa for our last 2 purchases,

I had an excellent experience working with Ray Chua as my buyer's agent in purchasing my property in Perth.
Ray made the entire process seamless and stress-free from start to finish. His knowledge of the Perth property market, professionalism, and guidance throughout the purchase process gave me great confidence in the decisions being made.
Since purchasing the property, it has experienced strong capital growth, which is a testament to Ray's market insight and ability to identify quality investment opportunities.
I particularly appreciated his responsiveness, honest advice, and commitment to ensuring the transaction progressed smoothly. I would highly recommend Ray Chua to anyone looking to purchase or invest in property in Perth.

I had a fantastic experience working with Byers Advocate Perth. The entire process was seamless, and they helped me secure my preferred property within the first two weeks. Their negotiation skills were outstanding—they took the time to understand what was most important to the seller and used that insight to negotiate a better outcome for me. Their guidance, professionalism, and communication made what could have been a stressful process feel straightforward and enjoyable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a property.

It was a pleasure working with Ray and Lisa! We wanted to purchase a property but did not know where to start in this market. Ray and Lisa were both very knowledgable and answered all of our questions. They provided value not only as to which suburb to look into but also what to look for in a good investment property. This includes which pocket of a suburb that is better. I would highly recommend Buyers Advocate Perth for their top service, knowledge and good communication.

We have had the pleasure of working with Ray and Lisa (Buyers Advocate Perth) over the past couple of months, in our quest to get on the property market in Perth. Prior to meeting them, we had viewed in excess of 20 properties over a nunmber of months and had lost all hope of being able to find something within our price range. Ray and Lisa made the whole process so easy and much more enjoyable. Their knowledge of the property market is clear to see, and they continuously updated us and provided us with guidance, an honest opinion and inside knowledge. After only 10 weeks since signing with Buyers Advocate Perth, we have now moved in to a fantastic house in our desired suburb. Ray and Lisa took the stress out of the whole process, including the price negotations, contracts and final property inspection. They were always available to advise and communication never felt like too much trouble. Our only regret is that we didn't find them last year when we initially started our search!
We would highly recommend Buyers Advocate Perth to anyone looking to buy a property. Their knowledge and guidance was definitely money well spent. Thank you Ray and Lisa for providing such a great service and for finding us a home so quickly.

I had a very positive experience working with Ray and Lisa, and thanks to their due diligence and level-headed bid strategy, secured a great quality property at a good price (better than what I would have ultimately been willing to pay). I got the outcome I was looking for, and the entire process was smooth. The highlights of their service included, 1) deep knowledge of the market, and a research process that is data driven and philosophy grounded on long term fundamentals, 2) reducing stress by being involved in every step of the way, including on-ground inspections, organising trades people (electricians, building & pest), solicitors, property managers, bidding and closing, 3) very communicative , responsive, and always keeping me in the loop, and 4) highly professional conduct. I would highly recommend Ray and Lisa to anyone looking to find a property in Perth.

Our experience with Buyers Advocate Perth was nothing short of exceptional! Ray and Lisa are experts in their field and the amount of detailed work and time that went into the analysis of properties, attending home opens, organising inspections etc was worth every cent for us. As first home buyers we couldn't recommend their service more. They were essential in guiding us through the complicated process and we knew they were genuinely invested in finding us a great investment and future home for us. They are extremely responsive and there any time you need them through the entire process from analysing potential properties to after settlement. Thank you Lisa and Ray for helping us get our dream home off-market! We couldn't have done it without you.

They provided clear, honest advice throughout, helped us avoid overpaying, and gave us real confidence in our decisions. We always felt supported and well-informed.
Really appreciate their guidance and we would definitely recommend Ray and Lisa to anyone looking for thorough and reliable buyer’s agents in Perth.

As a Melbourne resident looking for an investment property in Perth, I needed expert assistance from someone who knew Perth well, understood the market dynamics and could inspect properties on my behalf. In Ray (Buyers Advocate Perth), I could not have hope to make a better choice. I had expected a Buyers Advocate to find me appropriate properties, inspect, advise and negotiate the purchase. However, with Ray I was surprised to get so much more than this. From initial research, to frank advice, to not only suburb but actually Street profiling (usually down to section of the street), inspection, suggestions on works which would need to be done and cost estimates, to liaising with potential agents for me to use, conveyancers, insurers...the list goes on. Effectively, Ray acted on my behalf, with transparency, honesty, eagerness and professionalism (better than I probably would have done myself) at all times. His analytical approach, coupled with real life practical knowledge on the property industry, helped put my mind at ease that I was making the best decision possible. On top of that, I also had his wife and business partner assisting in the search/research. They are both lovely people and act with immense integrity. I would not hesitate in recommending them to others, and if I am in a position to purchase again, would not hesitate in engaging Ray again. Welll done Buyers Advocate Perth and thanks for making my first investment property purchase so seemless.

We engaged Ray and Lisa to purchase a property in Perth on our behalf based on the recommendation of a friend in early 2025. We could not fault the process and appreciated Ray and Lisa's thoroughness and level of communication. From the outset Ray ensured we were on the same page in terms of objectives and budget, and he worked to find us a house that met not only our own desires but also his carefully considered requirements too. Considering the amount of work, research and time that went into finding us a property, coupled with Ray's extensive amount of experience as a buyers agent, we considered the service to be of great value. I would not hesitate to recommend the service to prospective clients, and we hope to be a repeat client of Ray and Lisa's in the future.

We recently worked with Ray and Lisa to purchase an investment property, and we genuinely couldn’t be happier with the experience. We’re extremely busy, so this purchase simply wouldn’t have happened without their support. They were detailed and thorough at every stage of the process, always on top of the finer points and making sure nothing slipped through the cracks.
Their communication was excellent. They were quick, responsive, and always clear. We felt guided and well-supported the entire way through. We’re very happy with the final outcome and the property we secured.
I’ll admit we had some hesitation about the cost at the beginning, but looking back, their expertise and the time they saved us made their service absolutely worth it. Highly recommend Ray and Lisa if you’re looking for a professional, reliable and genuinely committed buyers agent.

Ray and Lisa were fantastic to work with. They helped us secure our future primary residence while we were still living in regional WA and unable to attend in person. They made the whole process seamless. Their knowledge of the northern coastal suburbs, along with their relationships with selling agents, meant we were able to buy in a blue‑chip coastal area for under market value. I’d recommend Ray and Lisa to anyone looking to buy a property.

I have used Ray and Lisa multiple times now to assist me with purchasing properties - previously for investment properties and now for our personal family home. The service they provide is highly professional and they are incredibly well versed in what they do. I have purchased with them in a range of markets over the past few years and with the current climate we would not have been able to compete on the properties we were contending for without their contacts and knowledge of the industry. There is a no rush feeling about the process, and their counsel along the way to help with decision making makes the process an enjoyable and easier one. We would recommend Ray and Lisa to anyone looking to purchase a property.

Ray and Lisa were absolutely outstanding. This was our first time using a buyer’s agent and we were initially apprehensive, but working with them proved to be one of the best decisions we made in our property journey.
Their approach was highly data-driven, thorough, and structured. Ray and Lisa took the time to understand our goals, constraints, and long-term plans, and then guided us on how to position ourselves strategically in a competitive market. Their research, clear communication, and organisation made what could have been a stressful process feel controlled and seamless.
They provided honest, objective advice at every stage, helped us avoid unsuitable properties, and gave us confidence in our final decision. Having experienced professionals advocating for us made a significant difference.
I cannot recommend Ray and Lisa highly enough. If you are considering using a buyer’s agent—especially if this is your first purchase or you value a disciplined, data-backed approach—Ray and Lisa are exceptional.

We had a great experience with Ray and Lisa and would recommend them to anyone trying to purchase a property. My wife and I live in the northern WA and were having no success trying to find an investment/future home from so far away. After speaking with Ray, I was pretty sure he was different to other buyer’s agents we had talked to, and he certainly was.
There is no doubt that Ray and Lisa are focused on getting the best outcome for the buyer. At no point did I feel like we were being rushed into a property that wasn’t right for us just to close the deal; in fact, it was the opposite of that. There was a real commitment to waiting and getting the right property at the right price.
Ray and Lisa put a lot of time into this; visiting numerous properties, photos, videos, concise reports, detailed reports and managing all the admin from offers to eventual settlement. Additionally, you get the benefit of their experience to ensure you don’t miss anything that would cost you in the future; which we certainly would have without them.
Ray and Lisa are such a great team, I hope we get the opportunity to work with them again.

This is my second time using Ray and Lisa as a buyers agent and not only has their service been phenomenal the property selection criteria, attention to detail in all matters can't be faulted. Ray is incredibly patient and always made himself available to answer every question asked. The guidance from Ray and Lisa dating back to 2015 has been a wealth of knowledge that has shaped our personal property journey and no price can be put on the value they have provided. Our 2015 property has more than doubled in value and we are equally as confident in our 2025 purchase. I can't recommend their services more highly.

Ray Chua is just fantastic. We hired him to help us buy our family home, and he made the whole process of searching, evaluating and eventually negotiating and purchasing pain free. By using his services we managed to avoid buying properties which looked good, but would have been a nightmare in the long run.
Not only did we secure a great property, we got it at a great price. We will be using him every time we need to purchase a property in the future.

Buyer Advocate Perth have made our investment property search an absolute dream!
Ray and the team put in countless hours inspecting property after property, making sure we found the perfect fit—and more importantly, a great deal. The entire process was smooth, professional, and stress-free. Communication was always clear and friendly, and nothing was ever too much trouble.
We highly recommend Ray and the team, and we’ll definitely be using them again for our next property purchase!

If you are considering whether to engage a buyers agent, I highly recommend Ray and Lisa from Buyers Advocate Perth. I have engaged Ray’s services on two separate occasions, and both times the experience has been exceptional.
From the carefully curated property shortlists and comprehensive offer strategies to the detailed property inspections, Ray consistently provided expert guidance that gave me confidence in making well-informed investment decisions tailored to my needs.
I am a firm believer that working with professionals like Ray and Lisa can deliver significant long-term value. Not only do they negotiate competitive offers at fair market prices, but their deep knowledge of the Perth property market ensures you are positioned in the right suburb to maximise your investment’s future growth.
I will gladly use their services again and highly recommend them to anyone seeking a reliable, skilled, and responsive buyers advocate in Perth.

As Perth residents currently on an overseas assignment, we faced the unique challenge of purchasing an investment property without being able to inspect it ourselves. That's where Ray Chua and Lisa Do of Buyers Advocate Perth truly made all the difference.
From the very beginning, they provided exceptional support as our buyer's advocates—communicating clearly, offering unbiased advice on short listings, and going above and beyond to ensure we felt confident and informed at every step. Their deep knowledge of the Perth market, thorough research, and transparent assessments gave us peace of mind despite the distance.
Ray and Lisa handled everything professionally—from inspections via walkthrough videos and due diligence to negotiation and settlement—making what could have been a complex and stressful process incredibly smooth and successful.
We’re delighted with the outcome and would highly recommend Ray and Lisa to anyone looking for reliable, trustworthy advocates—especially fellow expats or investors buying remotely.

If you’re looking to purchase a property and feeling unsure about where to start, I highly recommend Buyers Advocate Perth. Without their guidance, I’d likely still be searching blindfolded in an incredibly competitive market. All the glowing reviews you’ll find online are absolutely well-earned.
Ray and Lisa operate a boutique agency that caters to each client’s personal needs. They were with me every step of the way - from weekly shortlists of top properties, to in-depth research and analysis, inspections, negotiations, and contract handling, all the way through to settlement. Their approach is data-driven and all based on statistics, which really resonated with me. They prepared detailed Property Summary reports on each potential buying opportunity, which helped me feel confident and informed at every decision point.
As a first-time investor based in Sydney, I wasn’t incredibly familiar with the Perth market - but Ray and Lisa made the process seamless. I had done a fair bit of my own research, but Ray and Lisa helped me narrow the focus and secure an excellent property within budget. Ray also negotiated for me a strong price based on recent comparable sales, removing a huge amount of stress from the process. Their extensive real estate connections also opened up doors I wouldn’t have found on my own.
If you're on the fence about using a buyers agent - this is the team you want on your side! Thanks again for all your assistance on this journey 🙂

Working with Ray and Lisa was fantastic. Their attention to detail was second to none—the whole process was handled with care and precision. What really stood out was their deep knowledge of the local market. They clearly understood the nuances of each suburb and were able to offer insights that only come from real, on-the-ground experience.
What impressed me most was their strategic approach in sourcing the right property. They presented the right options, tailored to my SMSF needs. Thanks to their well-thought-out strategy, we were able to secure a fantastic property in a very short timeframe. I recommend them for anyone looking to buy in Perth.

I am Sydney based and used to travel to Perth for project work. I liked Perth and decided to buy an investment property there. I came across some good reviews of Ray and decided to work with him as I was interstate and the property market was very competitive which made it more challenging. Ray and Lisa helped me secure a great investment property.
Though I am not an expert but have good knowledge about property investment that I learned through some courses and online resources. I can confidently say that Ray is an expert in property investment.
Ray is great to work with and following are the things that impressed and helped me the most:
1. Ray knows Perth property market quite well as he has worked in Perth real estate for many years.
2. Ray is very analytical and detail oriented. He short listed properties using detailed analysis & research and provided the short list summarising important factors. He then provided detailed report for the properties that met my criteria.
3. Ray was very professional and helpful throughout the process. I faced some issues in getting my finance approval and had to request few extensions to final settlement. Ray patiently helped and supported me through the extensions.
I am happy that I engaged Ray to buy my investment property in Perth. I would recommend Ray to anyone who is interested in buying a property in Perth either for investment or PPOR.

We hired Ray Chua as our buyer's agent for the property we purchased, which will be our long-term home. Given the size of the investment, we felt like deer in headlights at first. However, with Ray's expertise, he made the process seamless, answering all our questions along the way. From our first interaction, we felt confident in his deep knowledge of the property market. Ray was always responsive, professional, and no question was ever too difficult for him to answer. He ensured we were well-informed and regularly followed up with us. His support was truly invaluable, making the entire journey smooth and stress-free. We couldn't have achieved what we did in such a short time without his involvement and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a property. Every penny spent on his guidance and advice was absolutely worth it. In the end, we found a beautiful property we can proudly call home, knowing that all necessary due diligence was done. A huge thank you to Ray for all his hard work—we love it!

As newcomers to Perth, we required local expertise in making good buying decisions. A mortgage broker friend from Brisbane recommended Ray and Lisa, and we were very impressed by their professionalism, transparency in the buying process, and knowledge of the Perth property market.
With a strict cadence of weekly listings and effective meetings, they kept us on track and provided moral support, warding off buyers’ fatigue which is common in a competitive property market.
Leveraging Ray and Lisa’s local network and market insights, we developed a well-defined bidding strategy (maximum bid price) for each shortlisted property. We then entrusted Ray with the negotiations, and he did a fantastic job ensuring we didn’t pay above market value.
In summary, we were well-informed, felt confident at every step of the process, and successfully purchased our dream property within 2 months. There were plenty of stress and uncertainties during the buying process but I believe we have made a wise financial decision by partnering with Ray and Lisa. I highly recommend their services to time-poor professionals, first-home buyer and seasoned investors.

We had no idea what we were doing when we started looking for a house. There were so many decisions to make, and we were very overwhelmed—especially when it came to figuring out what made a good investment. Ray and Lisa made the whole process so much easier. They took the time to understand what we wanted (even when we weren’t sure ourselves) and guided us through everything without any pressure, they also werent afraid to challenge us in our thinking and give real advice when assessing different properties.
Before finding them, I spoke to a few of the bigger buyers’ agencies, but something about them didn’t sit right with me. They felt super salesy, and I didn’t like the fact that the person you meet at the start isn’t the one who actually finds your house—you just get handed off to whoever’s available. Ray and Lisa are the total opposite. It’s just the two of them, and they handle everything themselves, which makes a huge difference.
It was a great experience from start to finish, and I’ll definitely be reaching out to them again when it’s time to buy another place. If you want buyers’ agents who genuinely care and know their stuff, I can’t recommend them enough.

Their deep understanding of Perth's real estate market, combined with their extensive industry connections, proved invaluable throughout the process.
What stood out was their up-to-date market knowledge and commitment to finding exactly what we needed. Their professionalism, trustworthiness, and helpful nature made the entire experience smooth and confident. Highly recommend their services for anyone looking to purchase property in Perth.

Before engaging Buyers Advocate Perth, house hunting was a frustrating and discouraging experience for us.
We initially doubted the value of hiring a buyer's agent to purchase a house in our own city (that is, not an investment property), but we were pleased to find those concerns unfounded.
Ray found a house that met all our criteria, in a location we hadn't considered.
The process was very systematic and quicker than expected, especially considering the market at the time. (A pleasant surprise!)
Ray's guidance in the offer and negotiation process provided real value, securing the house below the asking price—unexpected in this market. Additionally, we agreed on a settlement period that worked for both us and the seller, thanks to Ray's advice.
Some buyers in our price bracket might hesitate to use a buyer's agent, but our experience showed that the fees are more than justified by securing the right house at the right price.

We would highly recommend Ray and Lisa of Buyers Advocate Perth in purchasing your home or investment property. They have extensive knowledge and experience in Perth real estate which was very helpful to me and my husband in this challenging market. Both Ray and Lisa are friendly, trustworthy and were willing to go to extra mile during the whole process. Their responsiveness was outstanding, always quick to answer our questions and address any concerns always keeping us in the loop. Ray spent a lot of time in doing visits and kept communicating with other stakeholders to ensure the process ran smoothly, keeping us stress free!. They even provided us advice after settlement, which is so helpful when you move to your new home.
We would no doubt go back to Buyers Advocate Perth if we were to look for our next property. Thank you Ray and Lisa.

We have great experience with Ray and Lisa in getting an investment property in Perth. They have been in the industry for a very long time and have great insight in the Perth housing market. Due to our demanding careers and two young children, Ray has done all the legwork for us in finding the right property that ticks all the boxes for investment, conducting house inspection, submitting offer, negotiating with the seller, and finding the right property manager. We are very happy and thankful to finally able to secure the property that we want. Hopefully we will use their service again in the future.

Ray came highly recommended, and he absolutely delivered. With our minds preoccupied by overseas family matters, new jobs, and selling our property, we entrusted Ray and Lisa to handle the entire home-buying process. Ray is thorough, took the time to understand our needs, challenged us when necessary, and steered us towards properties that truly aligned with our requirements. With keen market insight, Ray even cut short his vacation to submit a well-timed offer on a rare property that closely matched our criteria. We also gratefully used his strong network of trusted professionals for Conveyancing, Inspections etc. Ray's ethical approach, professionalism, and calm demeanour made a potentially stressful home-buy a pleasure and with the best outcome.

We would highly recommend Ray and Lisa from Buyers Advocate who have given us a fantastic experience in purchasing a property in Perth. They have extensive knowledge and experience in Perth realestate which has been very helpful to me and my husband who are new to this market. Both Ray and Lisa are friendly, trustworthy and are willing to go to great lengths to ensure that we secure a nice property in a great location at a very good price. Their assistance in finding us a good conveyancer and a dedicated property manager is also very much appreciated by us. Lisa and Ray, a big thank you to both of you!

My wife and I recently used Ray & Lisa as buyers agents for purchase of an investment property. We loved the detailed insights provided on properties presented to us, their ability to find quality properties in desirable locations and their prompt responses through every step of the buying process.
Would recommend working with Ray & Lisa for your next property purchase in Perth.

Ray was professional, knowledgeable and gave great advice for every aspect of the sale, even plenty of things I wouldn’t have thought of. Ray spent plenty of time in doing visits and contacting other stakeholders to insure everything was taken care of.

We had an incredible experience working with Ray & Lisa. Navigating the competitive housing market while living in a regional town and trying to buy a house in Perth seemed daunting, but their expertise made all the difference. They were incredibly knowledgeable, providing valuable insights that helped us make informed decisions.
Their responsiveness was outstanding; they were always quick to answer our questions and address any concerns. Transparency was also a key aspect of their service, and we always felt like we were in the loop. Thanks to Ray & Lisa we were able to secure our dream home despite the challenges. Highly recommend their services!

We used Ray & Lisa from Buyers Advocate Perth for a recent purchase in Perth from overseas. We are very happy with the service! Ray took the time to really listen, understand and respond to what our needs were. We're confident that with their negotiating skills and experience in the industry, we secured the property at a lower price than we would have otherwise, making the fee more than worth it. They provided ongoing coordination, support and advice through to (and beyond) settlement that has been so helpful. Thank you!!

Ray acted as my buyers agent in downsizing in a very challenging sellers market. He was very professional throughout the process, and very responsive and communicative which was reassuring during what could have been a very stressful time. With his knowledge of the market and calm, friendly manner, Ray took the stress out of the process. We successfully found a place quite quickly.

Ray and Lisa were fantastic from the get go. Extremely knowledgeable about the Perth market and have the data to back it up. They went above and beyond in a competitive market - moved quickly and drew on their contacts to ensure we didn't get priced out of the suburb we wanted. They handled everything after purchase and provided us fantastic recommendations for conveyancers, property managers etc.... I felt very comfortable for them to inspect properties on my behalf and felt completely at ease to purchase without sight. Highly recommend Ray and Lisa if you're thinking of investing in Perth.

Extremely happy that we went with Ray and Lisa. I appreciated their approach to helping us select the right property. It was very thorough and grounded in the data on property prices. They have good relationships with local agents which was vital to us securing the property. Ray and Lisa are also incredibly lovely to work with - we never felt that they were pushy or that we were unsupported through the process.

We recently worked with Ray and Lisa to buy an investment property in Perth.
Never having used a buyers agent before, I wasn’t too sure what to expect. After looking around and speaking to Ray, I could feel that he really understood what we were looking for, and had data and local knowledge to help us feel confident in making the leap.
Throughout our property journey, it was honestly such a simple process with Ray and Lisa guiding us through each step. It wasn’t the first time that we had been through the process of looking to buy property, but it was completely different having local experts on our side. We were given shortlists of properties to look at, with detailed analysis for what makes the properties special, so we didn’t feel like we had to blindly follow what was given, but could feel confident in the properties we focused on.
Buying in the Perth market, especially in a hot market has its many challenges, and we really appreciate Ray and Lisa’s help in the negotiation process. We were able to constantly be across what the latest offers were at, which helped inform us to make competitive offers without over paying.
We were ultimately able to secure our property in less than a month. Honestly, any fee that it cost is far outweighed by the ability to confidently buy in the hot market, and between making competitive offers and property values rising month by month, it is well worth it to have Ray and Lisa helping us along the way.
Ray and Lisa went far and above expectations, they are very connected with property managers, tax agents, conveyancers and all the other steps involved in buying property, and was able to connect us with them.
I would highly recommend Ray and Lisa to anyone looking to buy property in Perth, and would no doubt come back to them if we were ever to look for another property here. If you're looking for a buyers agent, tee up some time to chat to Ray, and he'll be able to show you what makes them different, without comitting to going through. My advce is to trust their expertise and advice and be confident and decisive in making your next purchase knowing that you are in good hands.

Our experience with Buyers Advocate Perth has been nothing short of exceptional. As first-time property investors in Perth, we were initially overwhelmed by the complexities of the market. However, from the moment we engaged with Ray Chua and his partner Lisa Do, we knew we were in capable hands.
Ray and Lisa's extensive knowledge of the Perth property market, combined with their strategic approach and strong negotiation skills, proved invaluable. They took the time to understand our investment goals and preferences, and then meticulously shortlisted properties that aligned with our criteria. The detailed property summaries and research reports provided by Ray and Lisa were comprehensive and insightful, enabling us to make informed decisions.
Throughout the process, Ray and Lisa were responsive, professional, and always had our best interests at heart.

Ray and Lisa helped me greatly in my search for properties in Perth. I was not familiar with WA or Perth at all, and I hadn't bought a property in a long time before I talked with Ray. It was Ray's rich experience, expertise and professionalism demonstrated in the process that gave me the confidence to make my first purchase in WA. Ray knows so well about the market, and his local knowledge and connections placed important roles in helping me to achieve a good deal.
I would not hesitate to recommend Buyers Advocate Perth to my friends when they want to find a reliable BA in Perth.

Being in NSW and unfamiliar with the property landscape in Perth, we engaged Ray and Lisa to help us purchase our first IP in Perth. We just want to acknowledge the professionalism, dedication and communication that were provided for us throughout the entire process.
Ray and Lisa worked extremely hard, and are clearly passionate and diligent in sourcing out potential properties for us. We felt very supported and trusted them every step of the way (which is very rare when it comes to the property industry). Ray and Lisa managed to score us a property with high growth at a discounted rate. They have a wealth of strategies that will come in handy.
We felt very fortunate and blessed to be able to engage Ray and Lisa and will not hesitate to engage their services again. They went above and beyond for us. They are building a business not for quick bucks but to leave a legacy of their incredible work ethics and to share their wealth of knowledge and experience.
Thank you Ray and Lisa. All the best!

Very happy with our experience with Ray and Lisa in purchasing an investment property in Perth. Ray definitely has a wealth of knowledge of the real estate market in Perth and backed his confidence with clear statistics. Throughout the process, we were most impressed with them looking out for our best interest. They did not settle for less and just wanted us to get into the best suburbs within our budget. At the end, Ray's negotiation skill and good reputation among real estate agents helped us secure a property that we are very happy with. If you are looking to secure a property, we would highly recommend to engage Ray!

Three reasons to work with Ray and Lisa.
Being abroad and unfamiliar with the property landscape in Perth, we engaged Ray and Lisa to help us purchase our first house in Perth. There are many good things I can say about our experience, but I'll focus on three.
1. Informed Decision Making - Ray and Lisa are very data driven and logical in their thinking. This has been helpful in terms of keeping us from making emotional decisions. Every recommendation came with adequate research and data to back up. Risk factors were well thought out.
2. Negotiation - Ray is especially proud of his negotiation skills and our experience with him backs this up! In our case, after a few weeks of viewings, Ray and Lisa noticed that a previously viewed property was still on the market and took to investigating the reasons for a longer than usual duration on the market. Based on these findings, Ray recommended a negotiation strategy which we followed through with. The end result was that we got the property below asking price in a market where strike price tended to be above asking price. The savings here more than covered Ray and Lisa's fees.
3. Professionalism - we are in the advisory business ourselves and are quite demanding in terms of due diligence. In this regard, Ray and Lisa were absolutely professional. Communication was timely, concise and precise. Workflows were clearly outlined and roles were clearly assigned to the overall team. Ray was extremely familiar with every clause in the contract of sales we signed, which really impressed me. No stone was left unturned in the process. In fact, there was a small dispute on rent increase for the property being purchased. Despite the size of the prize being immaterial, Ray and Lisa pushed for a resolution.
Overall, we are extremely satisfied with our engagement with Ray and Lisa. If you're in the market for a property, definitely ring them up - nothing to lose, everything to gain.

Based in Sydney, I was keen to partner with a Buyer's Agent in Perth when recently purchasing an investment property in that location and chose Ray Chua over a competitive field! I'm happy to report that Ray exceeded my already high expectations going into the process and can highly recommend his service. Ray possesses all of the skills, knowledge and personal attributes necessary in his profession: he's well networked amongst suppliers/agents/developers/lawyers..., understands the nuances/idiosyncrasises of the Perth market, utilises the very latest analytics and data tools, possesses a tireless work ethic and has the attention to detail/follow through to ensure there are no surprises and that nothing is left to chance. Very importantly, he knows how to close! This was crucial in the 'white hot' Perth market as any vendor had multiple offers from which to choose at the time of my purchase and Ray's relationship with the vendor's agent was key to them accepting my offer over other, higher offers! Thanks again Ray for making the process so seamless and for helping me secure a wonderful house in a great suburb in Perth.
