CLIENT SUCCESS GALLERY
20 RECENT PURCHASES. DIRECTOR-LED. ALL STRATEGY. NO DISCLOSURE.
Gallery Insights
Director-Led.
Strategy-First. Zero Disclosure..
- The Metric: Displaying 20 recent acquisitions from 5-bed family estates to beachfront apartments—often secured in the silent market before reaching the public eye.
- The Methodology: A rare fusion of global corporate strategy (ex-Accenture Partner) and insider sales tactics (ex-Leading Sales Agent). Every outcome is 100% Director-led.
- Financial Discipline: A track record of identifying silent "value-add" opportunities and securing properties significantly below asking price (including recent outcomes $200k under guide).
- Privacy & Scope: We practice Zero Disclosure on client identities. While deeply rooted in the Beaches, our acquisition discipline is now expanding into the Upper & Lower North Shore markets to bring this same strategic rigour.
The Private Portfolio
strategic acquisitions across the northern beaches & north shore.
Real estate is an asset class that demands discipline. Every outcome below was secured through our signature Director-led methodology—replacing the emotion of the search with the precision of parallel due diligence.
These results span silent off-market transactions and high-stakes auctions, united by a single principle: they were secured on the buyer’s terms. We present this gallery not as marketing, but as proof of performance—delivered with zero disclosure and absolute discretion

sYdney’s upper and lower north shore
As a Director-led boutique Sydney North buyer’s agency, we now extend our proven acquisition methodology from the Northern Beaches into the distinct micro-markets of the Upper North Shore and the Lower North Shore.
These regions demand the same principles our clients value most—discretion, parallel due diligence, pricing discipline, and uncompromising negotiation integrity. As our track record expands, our Northern Beaches buyers agent success gallery will continue to grow with it, providing transparent proof of our execution standards while protecting every client’s confidentiality.
Client Testimonial
the private client experience
This is more than a testimonial; it is a case study in precision. Watch how we translated a complex brief into a strategic acquisition across the Northern Beaches market. Lotta’s journey demonstrates our signature methodology in action: creating silent off-market access, managing due diligence in parallel, and executing with the discipline to secure the asset—quietly and on your terms
Trusted and Respected
endorsed by both clients and selling agents
We’ve had the pleasure of working with Sarah Kaye & Co, and we can confidently say they are at the top of their field. As local real estate agents, we encounter buyer agents of all calibres, and Sarah Kaye & Co stands out for their exceptional professionalism, market knowledge, and dedication to their clients.
Their ability to understand their clients’ needs and negotiate on their behalf is truly impressive.
Technical Mastery
THE RIGOUR BEHIND THE RESULT.
The acquisitions you see on this page are not accidental. They are the product of a disciplined, accredited process.
While many agents ‘dabble’ in buying, we operate as certified specialists. By voluntarily binding ourselves to the strict codes of practice of the Real Estate Buyers Agents Association (REBAA) and the Real Estate Institute of NSW (REINSW) – as well as the governance requirements of the Australian Instiaute of Company Directors (AICD) we ensure every negotiation is handled with absolute technical precision.
This is your assurance that behind every beautiful home we secure, there is a rigorous framework of consumer protection and specialist capability.
Our Acquisition Footprint
NORTHERN BEACHES. NORTH SHORE. EXPANDING TERRITORY.
Securing exceptional property requires more than a general overview; it demands deep, hyper-local immersion. We maintain active watchlists across 40+ micro-markets, covering both the oceanfront enclaves of the Northern Beaches and the heritage belts of the Upper and Lower North Shore. Our territory is defined by opportunity, expanding wherever we identify genuine value.

Our Advisory Framework
GOVERNANCE. ETHICS. EXECUTION.
In a market saturated with noise, we deliver clarity. As dedicated Uppper North Shore, Lower North Shore and Northern Beaches buyers agents, our intelligence goes beyond headlines to expose the off-market transactions and micro-shifts shaping real value. Select a topic below for unfiltered, Principal-led analysis—giving you the forensic data needed to purchase with absolute certainty.
What makes this Success Gallery different from typical buyers agent case studies?
Our Northern Beaches buyers agent success gallery proves outcomes without revealing client identities, locations, or prices.
Every tile reflects real acquisitions driven by disciplined negotiation, parallel due diligence, and Director-led strategy—not staged marketing or pie-in-the-sky stories.
Are these real client purchases or staged marketing examples?
Yes, 100% real outcomes. Every win in the gallery reflects a genuine purchasing strategy executed by our Directors in live North Shore and Northern Beaches micro-markets. No stock photos. No mock negotiations. No filler.
Why don’t you disclose addresses in this gallery?
We protect specific addresses to guarantee total client confidentiality. Since many of our acquisitions are negotiated off-market or quietly, discretion is critical to our strategy. We prioritise protecting our clients' privacy and asset security over populating our marketing portfolio.
How involved are your Directors in every engagement?
Our Directors lead the strategy and stay hands-on in every engagement. Yes, we have a strong support team, but key decisions, due diligence oversight, and negotiation guardrails sit with our Directors. This isn’t a delegate-and-disappear service.
It’s Principal-led advice shaped by Mike’s background as a Partner at Accenture, CEO of an international Property Advisory Firm a decade as an Army Officer, and a career built on precision, discipline, and accountability.
Do you only specialise in off-market property purchases?
More than 75% of our purchases are secured off-market.
That said, turning your back on on-market listings is shortsighted. Honestly, it hardly ever makes sense to ignore public campaigns. A buyer who only pursues off-market deals cuts out many of available opportunities - and, at the very least, it's a great way of establishing benchmarks and ensuring expectations are realistic.
In fact, without both pathways, you’re not accessing two-thirds of the market. And that means you may miss the best property simply by searching too narrowly. Bottom line, we combine both channels - because you just don't know!
Do Northern Beaches and North Shore markets require a different buyer strategy compared to the rest of Sydney?
Absolutely. Every suburb, street and building has its own buyer DNA. That’s why we tailor micro-market strategies instead of recycling the same formula across every postcode. The gallery reflects that discipline in action.
How does this gallery demonstrate your buying methodology in real terms?
It shows results delivered quietly, strategically, and responsibly. These wins reflect negotiation discipline, integrity, and Director guardrails applied end-to-end, without shortcuts. No fluff. Just proof.
Will you expand this gallery to include North Shore buyer outcomes too?
Yes. From 2026, our Northern Beaches, Upper North Shore and Lower North Shore acquisitions will all live in one expanded Success Gallery. The approach will remain the same—rich evidence of results, with zero client disclosure and full Director involvement.
