Buying property is one of life’s bigger decisions. Financially, emotionally, and practically. Whether you’re buying a home or an investment, it’s not something most people want to rush — yet the process often pushes you to do exactly that.
At Buyers Advocate Perth, our role is simple: to slow the noise down, bring clarity to the decision, and help you secure the right property — at the right price — for the right reasons.
We take care of the searching, assessing, and negotiating, so you can move forward with confidence and peace of mind — from first conversation through to settlement and beyond.
A Calmer Way to Buy Property
Most people don’t struggle with property because they lack information.
They struggle because there’s too much of it — and not enough clarity around what actually matters.
Over the years, we’ve seen how easy it is for buyers to feel overwhelmed by:
— conflicting advice
— fast-moving markets
— pressure to “act before it’s too late”.
Our approach is deliberately different.
We focus on fundamentals, long-term thinking, and decisions you can live with, not just now, but years down the track. That means helping you understand why a property makes sense, not just what to buy.
Built on Trust, Not Transactions
One of the things we’re most proud of is that the majority of our clients come to us through referrals.
That only happens when people feel:
-
genuinely listened to
-
well guided
-
and confident in the outcome.
At Buyers Advocate Perth, you’re never treated as a number or a transaction. You’re supported as a person making a meaningful life decision, and we take that responsibility seriously.
What We’re Known For
Property Strategy
Every search starts with clarity.
We take the time to understand your goals, circumstances, and risk comfort — working alongside your mortgage broker or lender where appropriate — to build a clear target property profile before any inspections begin.
Rigorous Shortlisting
The quality of a decision is often defined by what you don’t buy.
We reject the vast majority of properties we assess, narrowing the field to a small number of options that genuinely align with your brief — not just what’s available that week.
Meticulous Research
We gather and assess the details that matter — from pricing and location fundamentals to condition, risk, and long-term relevance. You’ll also have access to our trusted network of inspectors and specialists, so every recommendation is evidence-based.
Skilled Negotiation
With over 20 years of buying experience and deep relationships across the Perth market, we negotiate with clarity and intent — always focused on securing the right property at the right price, without unnecessary pressure or emotion.

Ray Chua
Director & Licensed Buyers Agent
Ray has worked as a Perth buyers agent since 2008, helping home buyers and property investors make considered, long-term property decisions.
After beginning his real estate career as a selling agent, Ray made a deliberate shift to work exclusively on the buyer’s side. He was drawn to the independence of representing one party only, and to helping buyers understand what matters, what to avoid, and when to act with confidence.
Originally trained as an engineer, Ray brings a structured and analytical mindset to property. But experience has also taught him that buying property is never purely a technical decision. Whether someone is investing for the future or searching for their next home, the decision is often closely connected to their finances, family and longer-term plans.
Ray’s own property journey began in 2004 with his first home in Maylands, followed by his first investment property in 2005. Over the years, his experience has extended across property investment, renovations, subdivisions and development projects, giving him a practical understanding of both the opportunities and risks involved in owning property over the long term.
Having guided buyers through multiple Perth market cycles, Ray’s approach is grounded in quality over quantity. He looks beyond short-term market noise to the fundamentals that can sustain demand over time—including scarcity, land value, owner-occupier appeal, location and neighbourhood quality.
Just as importantly, Ray believes good buyer advocacy is often about knowing what not to buy. He is known for asking difficult questions, filtering out unsuitable properties and helping clients remain clear-headed when competitive markets can encourage rushed decisions.
Outside of work, Ray enjoys spending time with his family, exploring Western Australia, playing tennis and discovering new places to eat. He believes property should ultimately support the life you’re trying to build—not become the purpose of it.
At Buyers Advocate Perth, Ray’s role is simple: to provide clear, independent advice and represent his clients’ interests throughout the buying process, so they can make decisions they’ll remain comfortable with long after settlement.
Lisa Do
Licensed Buyers Agent
Lisa has worked as a Perth buyers agent since 2013, bringing precision, care and a quietly strategic mindset to every property decision.
Before moving into property full-time, Lisa built a successful career in pharmacy, holding leadership and management roles across major pharmacy groups. With a Bachelor of Pharmacy and experience leading teams of up to 30 staff, she developed a deep respect for detail, accountability and responsibility—qualities that continue to shape the way she works with buyers today.
Lisa’s own property journey began earlier, purchasing her first investment property in 2005 and building her experience as an investor through multiple Perth market cycles. That lived experience gives her a practical understanding of what it means to own property through periods of growth, changing market conditions and quieter years.
At Buyers Advocate Perth, Lisa is known for her meticulous approach. She has an exceptional eye for detail, a strong instinct for identifying potential issues early and a calm steadiness that clients value, particularly when decisions are complex or time-sensitive.
Working alongside Ray, Lisa’s strengths naturally complement his strategic and analytical approach. Together, they bring different perspectives to the same objective: clear thinking, thorough assessment and a shared commitment to buying well rather than simply buying quickly.
For Lisa, good buyer advocacy means taking responsibility for the details while keeping sight of the bigger decision. She believes clients should understand what they’re buying, the risks involved and why a property is—or isn’t—worth pursuing.
Much of Buyers Advocate Perth’s work comes from repeat clients and referrals, reflecting the trust built through careful advice, consistent communication and a genuine commitment to clients’ long-term interests.
Outside of work, Lisa enjoys spending time with Ray and their two boys, travelling as a family and discovering new places together.
At Buyers Advocate Perth, Lisa is committed to helping clients make considered property decisions with the care, diligence and confidence she would expect if making the decision herself.
