Lower North Shore Advisory

Precision Advice.
Harbourside Mastery.

  • Hyper-Local Intelligence: Acting as a specialist Lower North Shore Buyers Agent, we navigate the "Crown Jewel" suburbs, securing generational estates from Neutral Bay to the ultra-prime avenues of Mosman.
  • The Silent Market: Over 75% of our acquisitions are off-market, providing first-look access to harbourside holdings and deep-water jetties before they reach public portals.
  • Global Advisory Standard: We bring the rigour of the boardroom to the harbourside market. Our advice is backed by university-level expertise in Law, Economics, and Valuation, alongside AICD and REBAA accreditation.
  • Executive Rigour: We apply a high-stakes analytical approach (refined by Ex-Accenture/Military backgrounds) to protect your equity in a precinct where entry-level prestige starts at over $5M.
  • Harbourside Integrity: We distinguish between prestige facades and liabilities, acting as your Mosman Buyers Agent to filter out properties burdened by complex topography, sea walls, or restrictive heritage conservation.

Lower North Shore

strategic market intelligence

In a market as nuanced as the Lower North Shore, generalisations are the enemy of capital growth. We don’t just “walk the streets”; we deconstruct the data to find the strategic advantage.

A “one size fits all” approach no longer works. Success in this environment requires a surgical understanding of micro-market nuances—from the “Metro-fication” driving growth in Crows Nest to the extreme scarcity and trophy-asset resilience seen in Mosman and Kirribilli.

  • The Growth Anchors: Analysing the 9.4% house growth in Crows Nest and the vertical luxury surge in Milsons Point.

  • The Prestige Enclaves: Deconstructing the $6M median in Mosman and the unique supply-demand imbalance in Northbridge.

  • The Lifestyle Pivots: Evaluating the resilient family markets of Cammeray, Lane Cove, and Cremorne.

  • The Urban Evolutions: Tracking the multi-billion dollar transformations in St Leonards and the cosmopolitan energy of Neutral Bay.

We invite you to explore our strategic suburb profiles to filter real-time performance metrics and access each individual suburb profile.

The most prestigious harbourside holdings on the Lower North Shore rarely see a ‘For Sale’ sign.  As leading Lower North Shore Buyers Agent, our 20-year history in the North Shore corridor means our network of local principals and private vendors remains unparalleled. 

We don’t just read the market; we live it. Whether you are securing a family terrace in Neutral Bay or a trophy apartment in Mosman, our industry relationships open doors on the Lower North Shore that are closed to the public:

  • Mosman: Prince Albert Street – Navigating the heart of the “Golden Mile” to secure the region’s most significant off-market harbourside estates.

  • Cremorne Point: Milson Road – Accessing expansive, tightly held luxury penthouses positioned with direct, iconic Sydney skyline and Opera House views.

  • Neutral Bay: Kurraba Road – Securing your position in the quintessential “Harbourfront Heritage” precinct, optimised for privacy and long-term capital preservation.

  • North Sydney & Kirribilli: Carabella Street – Acquiring high-side trophy assets that perfectly balance architectural elevation with elite school proximity (Shore, Loreto, Wenona).

  • Crows Nest & Cammeray: Trelawny Street – Sourcing rare, turnkey luxury residences in the suburb’s most prestigious, village-centric pockets.

  • Greenwich & Wollstonecraft: Chisholm Street – Uncovering the “invisible” market within these character-rich garden enclaves and heritage conservation zones.

Mastery of the Lower North Shore Micro-Markets

Strategic Navigation Through the Lower North Shore’s Most Exclusive Harbourside Enclaves.

Mosman

The Pinnacle of Harbourside Prestige

Specialising in the “Crown Jewel” estates of the Golden Mile and ultra-prime avenues defined by world-class Sydney Harbour views and private deep-water jetties.

We focus on securing discreet, off-market holdings within the elite school catchments (Shore, Queenwood), prioritising turnkey luxury to bypass 2026’s high construction lead times.

Neutral Bay & Kurraba Point

Harbourfront Heritage

Identifying quintessential “Harbourfront Heritage” holdings and modern luxury penthouses that offer the ultimate balance of village convenience and city speed.

We target the exclusive pockets of Kurraba Point and Neutral Bay, focusing on capital preservation and assets with direct iconic skyline views for professionals and downsizers.

Cremorne, Cammeray & North Sydney:

Connectivity & Architecture

From the grand Federation homes of Cammeray to the “Connected Village” feel of Crows Nest and the high-side trophy assets of Kirribilli.

We help buyers find the best value in these diverse markets, balancing rapid CBD access with architectural integrity and proximity to the region’s most vibrant new village greens.

Longueville & North Greenwich

Generational Estates

Sourcing architectural significance and heritage-protected gems within these tightly held, family-centric garden enclaves.

We navigate complex topography and heritage conservation overlays to secure “blue-ribbon” assets on substantial harbourside blocks, often “re-opening” doors to properties closed to the general public.


Lower North Shore Buyers Agent: Our Principals –
Insider Advantage

Protective Advocates Rooted in 20 Years of North Shore Immersion.

We are the first-choice advisory for professionals seeking a monopoly on the Lower North Shore. Balancing harbour elegance with CBD connectivity, we target the waterfront avenues of Mosman, the village convenience of Neutral Bay, and the exclusive pockets of Cremorne.

This is a high-velocity market where blue-chip assets often trade silently between agents. We apply a commercial lens to these acquisitions, filtering out “A-grade marketing” on “B-grade” properties. Whether you are an executive requiring rapid city access or a downsizer seeking single-level luxury, we secure assets that offer both architectural significance and genuine long-term scarcity.

After years of refining our bespoke acquisition model into a high-performance advisory, we offer something truly rare.  A Partnership.  Not a Hand-off.  Director-led representation for families who demand the extraordinary.

Meet the principals who will be in your corner:

Mike Kaye: Deploying Global Partner Discipline to Your Family’s Largest Asset.

Mike brings a calibre of leadership to the Lower North Shore rarely seen in property advisory. As a former Global Partner at Accenture and Army Officer, he applies institutional-grade rigour to your personal acquisition. His insights—featured in the Australian Financial Review and AICD Magazine—transform the buying process from an emotional reaction into a calculated strategic move.

“I have advised on billion-dollar corporate decisions, yet I believe the family home is the most significant asset on any balance sheet. It demands the exact same level of strategic rigour.” — Mike Kaye

With Mike, you are not just hiring a Lower North Shore Buyers Agent; you are accessing high-level consultancy. He ensures that every Lower North Shore negotiation is backed by real data and the discipline of a career spent managing high-stakes outcomes. His objective is to ensure your capital is deployed with the same precision and foresight used in the corporate boardroom.

Sarah Kaye: The Strategic Advantage.  A 20-Year Legacy

Sarah is not merely a transaction coordinator; she is a protective advocate whose expertise was forged within the North Shore property industry. As a former selling agent and a 20-year resident of the North Shore corridor, she possesses a rare “dual-lens” perspective that volume-driven agencies cannot replicate. She doesn’t just navigate the market; she dismantles it to secure harbourside assets strictly on your terms.

“I spent two decades sitting on the other side of the negotiation table across the North Shore. I know the script before it is spoken. I use that insider privilege to dismantle sales tactics—ensuring you buy with the clarity and leverage of a professional, not just a passenger.” — Sarah Kaye

Deeply rooted in the North Shore’s most prestigious landscapes—from the quietest heritage estates to the ultra-prime avenues of Mosman—Sarah founded the firm to replace the ambiguity of the property market with absolute clarity. She operates with zero tolerance for “sales fluff,” ensuring that every Lower North Shore acquisition is driven by strategic foresight, genuine local mastery, and the peace of mind that comes from having a true 20-year insider in your corner.

The Private Portfolio

strategic acquisitions across the NORTH SHORE & northern beaches

Precision is the cornerstone of our acquisition strategy. From the oceanfronts of the Northern Beaches to the prestigious estates of the Upper and Lower North Shore, our results are the product of a signature methodology that prioritises risk mitigation.

We navigate the complexities of silent off-market transactions and high-stakes auctions with a singular focus: securing the right asset on the buyer’s terms. This gallery serves as a record of performance for our clients—delivered with absolute discretion and the technical expertise required to lead the North Shore market.

Asset Selection: Navigating Strata, Views & Risk

In the Lower North Shore, value is often hidden in the details. A “harbour view” that can be built out, a compromised strata report, or a poor floor plan can severely cap your asset’s capital growth. As your lower north shore buyers agent, we apply a forensic commercial filter to ensure you never inherit a liability.

We bring a multidisciplinary approach to asset selection. Drawing on the disciplined planning of an Army Major, Mike runs a forensic process on every potential purchase. We don’t just look at the view; we check the zoning of the building in front of it. We don’t just read the strata report; we interpret the capital works fund to ensure you aren’t buying into a “special levy” nightmare.

Whether you are debating between a semi in Cremorne or a luxury unit in Milsons Point, we identify the risks—from noise corridors to heritage restrictions—so you can sign the contract with absolute certainty.

Lower North Shore Buyers Agent: The Strategic Insider Advantage

Clinical negotiation and institutional rigour for Sydney’s
most tightly held prestige market.

Securing a legacy asset on the Lower North Shore demands more than just local knowledge; it requires an institutional-grade framework. As your trusted Lower North Shore Buyers Agent, we translate high-level strategic discipline into a high-performance acquisition model.

Our trusted process removes the emotional guesswork from the search. By combining Sarah’s advantage of having sat on the other side of the negotiation table as a former sales agent with the clinical precision of a former Global Accenture Partner, we identify off-market holdings and execute negotiations with absolute discretion, ensuring your capital is deployed with total market clarity.

Secure Your Strategic Advantage on the Lower North Shore

 Expertise: From the Bridge to the Spit

Comprehensive market coverage across the harbour peninsula.

As a leading Lower North Shore Buyers Agent, we cover the full spectrum of the market, understanding the distinct “micro-climates” of each village, from the cosmopolitan density of North Sydney and Milsons Point to the leafy, family-oriented streets of Mosman and Cremorne Point.

Buyers Agent Cammeray

The Quiet Achiever.

Often overlooked by buyers fixated on Mosman, Cammeray offers a strategic “sweet spot” of value. It combines the village convenience of Miller Street (Stockland) with significantly easier CBD access—often just one set of traffic lights to the freeway. We target the quiet, tree-lined avenues near Tunks Park for families, and the “walk-to-everywhere” semis for professionals who value time over postcode prestige.

Buyers Agent Cremorne

The Balance Point.

Cremorne sits perfectly between the frantic energy of Neutral Bay and the exclusive isolation of Mosman. It is defined by the Art Deco charm of the Hayden Orpheum precinct and the tightly held waterfronts of Cremorne Point. For downsizers and investors, this is a “blue-chip” yielding suburb. We focus on securing assets with “forever views” over the harbour that can never be built out.

Buyers Agent Crows Nest

The Future-Proofed Hub.

The arrival of the new Metro Station has structurally shifted this market from a “dining village” to a primary transport node. Crows Nest is now the logical choice for investors and young professionals requiring rapid CBD and Barangaroo access. The strategy here is high-density selection: finding quiet, rear-facing apartments that offer the connectivity without the noise penalty of the Pacific Highway.

Buyers Agent Kirribilli

The Jewel in the Crown.

One of Sydney’s most prestigious and tightly held enclaves. Kirribilli offers a “village by the harbour” lifestyle that is almost impossible to replicate. Inventory here is incredibly scarce. We advise clients to look beyond just the view; the true value lies in the “Federation” streets near the House and the ferry wharf. This is a legacy market where capital growth is driven by pure scarcity.

Buyers Agent Lavender Bay

The Artist’s Enclave.

Home to Wendy Whiteley’s Secret Garden and iconic views under the Harbour Bridge, Lavender Bay is tiny, exclusive, and silent. It attracts a specific type of buyer who values privacy and heritage architecture over the bustle of a high street. Opportunities here are rare; when a terrace or harbour-front apartment trades, it is often done off-market through private networks.

Buyers Agent McMahons Point

The Village on the Harbour.

With the Euro-style atmosphere of Blues Point Road leading directly to the ferry wharf, McMahons Point feels more like a separate coastal town than a city suburb. It commands a premium for its community feel and uninterrupted Opera House views. We help buyers navigate the “heritage vs. renovation” balance here, ensuring you buy a character home without buying a money pit.

Buyers Agent Milsons Point

Vertical Luxury.

The premier destination for high-rise harbour living. Milsons Point offers the closest residential proximity to the CBD with the most dramatic views in the country. The market here is dominated by luxury apartments and downsizers. Our role is strictly commercial due diligence: assessing strata levies, sinking funds, and noise mitigation (Luna Park/Train Line) to ensure the asset performs as well as the view.

Buyers Agent Mosman

The Sovereign State.

Mosman is not one market; it is several. From the “Balmoral Slopes” (beach lifestyle) to the deep waterfronts of Beauty Point and the convenient “Junction” precinct. It commands the highest prices on the Lower North Shore for a reason. We act as your filter here, helping you distinguish between a “prestige address” and a property that actually delivers the privacy and aspect the price tag demands.

Buyers Agent Neutral Bay

The Connected Cosmopolitan.

High energy, high convenience, and high demand. Neutral Bay is the engine room of the Lower North Shore, favored by professionals for its rapid bus links and legendary dining scene (The Oaks). The housing stock is diverse, from Federation semi-detached homes to modern infill apartments. We target the “quiet pockets” like the Anderson Park precinct, which offer the lifestyle without the relentless hum of Military Road.

Strategic Insights for Mosman, Cremorne, Neutral Bay & Kirribilli

How does your Director-led acquisition process work, and what is included in the fixed-fee engagement?

Summary. We operate on a success-based model that prioritises precision over volume. Every search is personally spearheaded by our Directors, involving a minimum of 100 hours of technical analysis, legal review, and off-market networking. This comprehensive service includes full access to our "silent" listing pipeline and the alignment of your financial and legal teams in real-time. We ensure that our clients move with absolute confidence and zero public disclosure.

A Commercial Approach to Prestige Acquisition. We believe world-class representation should be defined by discipline, not inflated commissions. Moving away from the traditional 2%–3% industry standard, we apply a commercially astute Fixed Fee model. By operating as a high-performance boutique agency rather than a high-overhead franchise, we deliver elite advisory skills—honed in top-tier professional services—at a cost that respects your investment.

The Engagement Structure. Our partnership begins with a $5,500 engagement fee (incl. GST). This retainer secures our full commitment to your brief and funds a rigorous search phase that includes significant dedicated Director-level time. This is not a "passive" search; it is an intensive period of property acquisition, forensic due diligence, on-the-ground inspections, and strategic negotiation.

Alignment of Incentives. Whether we are securing a coastal retreat on the Northern Beaches or a prestige estate on the Upper or Lower North Shore, our fixed-fee approach ensures our incentives are perfectly aligned with yours. You are never penalised for purchasing a higher-value asset; our focus remains solely on securing the best possible price on the buyer's terms.

Why do I need a specialist Buyer's Agent for the Lower North Shore?

The Lower North Shore is a high-velocity, supply-constrained market. Properties in Mosman and Kirribilli often sell within days, not weeks. As a leading Lower North Shore Buyers Agent, we provide the speed, access, and "micro-market" knowledge required to secure quality stock before it disappears.

Generalist advice is not appropriate here because the variables are complex. A street in Neutral Bay might be premium at one end and compromised by tunnel noise at the other. We use our local immersion and my engineering background to analyse these variables, ensuring you don't make a mistake in a high-stakes market.

L
K

Do you really have access to Off-Market properties here?

Yes. The density of the Lower North Shore lends itself to "Silent Sales," especially for apartments and prestige homes where privacy is paramount. As former Sales Agents, we have the direct mobile numbers of the key selling agents across the North Shore.

As leading Lower North Shore buying specialists, we leverage our agent relationships to get you through the door first. This "Pre-Market" access allows us to negotiate exclusively for you, avoiding the challenges of a public campaign.

House vs. Apartment: How do you advise on Asset Selection?

As leading buyers agents on the Lower North Shore, we focus on "Scarcity Value." In the Lower North Shore, an Art Deco apartment in Kirribilli with harbour views can often outperform a house in a secondary location. We assess the asset based on light, aspect, and "unreplicable features."

We apply strict due diligence. If it’s an apartment, we conduct a forensic check of the strata history. If it’s a house, we check planning controls. Our surveying, town planning and engineering backgrounds ensure this process is disciplined and exhaustive, protecting you from buying a "money pit."

L
K

How do you handle the negotiation to ensure we don't overpay?

As an experienced Lower North Shore buyers agent, we act as your "Commercial Firewall." We ignore the price guide and build a Shadow Valuation based on comparable sales data. We then execute a negotiation strategy designed to remove emotion and secure the property at fair market value.

Having worked as agents, we know how they create "Fear of Missing Out" (FOMO). We strip that away. Whether we are bidding at an auction in Crows Nest or making a pre-auction offer in Mosman, we control the pace of the negotiation, ensuring you transact on your terms, not theirs.

L
K

Do you work with Investors as well as Home Buyers?

Yes. The Lower North Shore is a prime investment belt due to its high yield and tenant demand. We help investors identify "Blue Chip" assets that attract premium tenants and offer long-term capital preservation.

We approach investment with the same strategic rigour as my time at Accenture. We model the numbers, assess the rental yield reality, and look for "value-add" potential. We ensure you are buying an investment grade asset that will perform for decades, not just a standard rental unit.

Certified Industry Specialists
