I wanted to say a huge thank you to the STRAND team for helping me find my off-market property. It can be a rollercoaster of emotions trying to find a property, but Josh, Tom, Holly and Michael were such stable forces throughout. As a local buyers agent, they have a wealth of knowledge of the area. They provided an abundance of on/off market options to look at, as well as excellent insights about suburbs, previous sale prices, future growth and developments happening in the area. Overall, I had a great experience working with STRAND and would recommend them to anyone looking for a buyers agent in the beaches.

We can’t recommend Josh and the whole team at Strand Property Group enough! After spending a long time doing the house search on our own, we looked to Strand for insight, guidance and maybe, even a little hand holding. Every member of Strand were a pleasure to work with and were consistently “on the job” during our time with them. They worked tirelessly to find our first home here in Australia and located a fantastic house, even working within an admittedly tight budget. From the beginning - all the way through negotiations and closing, we knew we were in good hands and that Strand always had our best interests in mind. We happily recommend them without reservation and look forward to working with them in the future.

This is the second time we have worked with Josh and we cannot recommend him more highly. He is thoughtful, honest and professional and his knowledge of the market and the northern beaches area is outstanding. He listens carefully to what you want; yet understands, sometimes you need to see other options as well. Nothing is too hard for Josh. We had multiple calls with him while we were overseas - usually at inconvenient times for Josh - yet he was always happy to speak to us. His advice and understanding of the market (and how quickly it can change) is so valuable and the reason we have our property. Josh works with a great team at Strand - Michael and all the team are lovely, helpful and there for you at all times. Do not hesitate to work with Josh and Strand Property Buyers.

Josh, Michael and the team were incredible to deal with during the entire purchasing process. They were a resource of knowledge on the areas we were looking, provided guidance and did not put any pressure on us to buy any place we didn't love. Very communicative throughout and would recommend if you are looking in the Northern Beaches.

I highly recommend Josh and his team if you’re buying on the Northern Beaches. I was initially sceptical about using a buyer’s agent, but after a friend's recommendation I spoke to Josh—and the difference was immediate. We'd been looking for nearly a year with no luck, but Josh found an off‑market property very quickly and negotiated an excellent price that kept us comfortably within budget. The process saved us a huge amount of time and stress, and their network and experience in the area enabled them to find the perfect beachfront apartment we wanted . Their guidance and steady advice meant I trusted them at every step to find the ideal place.

The bottom line

Fixed fees stated up front is rarer than it should be in this industry, and the explicit no-referral-commission position removes the quiet conflict that sits behind many "trusted mortgage broker" introductions. Narrow geography by design — brilliant if you are buying on the Northern Beaches, wrong firm if you are not.
