Our Buyers Advocate Services Get You the Best Result

Simplifying Your Property Journey

Finding the right property

We evaluate all on-market, off-market and direct properties. Our insider knowledge enables us to source off-market opportunities for clients.

Expert negotiations

We know when to push and when to wait. We control negotiations and if it’s an auction, we control that too.

Protecting your privacy

When it comes to a negotiation, the advocate knows more about you, the buyer, than you may realise. We protect your identity.

Insider perspective

We provide our clients with meaningful knowledge: expertly sourced and interpreted data and facts.

Streamlined processes

Time is a precious, non-renewable commodity. We value it and we certainly don’t waste it — yours or ours.

Here’s What Our Clients Have To Say

“I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from Helena. She was incredibly efficient and got the job done quickly without sacrificing quality. She was always available to answer my questions and kept me informed throughout the entire process. Her dedication and knowledge of the market were invaluable. I would highly recommend Helena to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.”
-Eric Lee
“Thankyou Tonya for your amazing skills and masterful negotiation tactics in helping us get our next stage/ forever house. Tonya was absolutely amazing, insightful and willing to listen to our wants and concerns. I had never used a buyers advocate before, but after my experience with Davidson Property Advocates, I wouldn’t think of buying a property without their help. Tonya is thorough, friendly and extremely professional. I highly recommend Tonya to anyone looking to purchase a property”
-Claire Brownfoot
“Being new to Victoria it was great to have such knowledgeable partners as Tonya and Claire working with us. They walked us through the buying process, gave us plenty of options to view and provided expert advice on everything from renovations, to transport links and best streets to buy in. Tonya in particular was so supportive when we went off and explored other areas that were outside the brief and never made us feel pressured into anything. I would highly recommend Tonya to help you in your next purchase.”
-Marilena Crevola
"Tonya Davidson is absolutely amazing! I had never used a buyers advocate before, but after my experience with Davidson Property Advocates, I wouldn’t think of buying any property without her. She is a master negotiator, who never stops working for her clients (even while she’s on holiday!) Tonya is thorough, extremely professional and just the best all round. She knows the market and all the players. It’s no wonder she has won the Advocate of the Year Award, and has been nominated again this year. A top operator on every level."
-Louise Carroll
"Tonya was a true delight to work with. Her warmth, professionalism and impressive network helped make our buying process much smoother. She knew exactly what we were looking for and ultimately helped us purchase the property we fell in love with. Her clear and transparent communication style meant that we always knew what was going on at every stage of the process. Tonya remained easily accessible throughout the entire buying process and worked tirelessly on our behalf. We have already recommended her to our friends, and will continue to do so."
-Carissa Chye
"Tonya is a pleasure to work with - she is highly professional, brings a wealth of experience and knowledge of the property market and genuinely wants the best for her clients. She works hard for you, is unfazed by challenges, talks through the facts and takes the stress out of any situation (she also has a wicked sense of humour!). There is absolutely no way we would have purchased our beautful family home without her and we can't thank her enough. We had been looking for a house for 12 months before we engaged Tonya. Absolutely recommend her services!"
-Joanne Briggs
"So efficient, knowledgeable, professional and easy to work with. In a difficult market Tonya got us an amazing outcome. Her advice was honest, informed and rational, her experience and market knowledge was second to none. Her determination and patience meant we were always confident and never felt rushed into any decision we weren’t comfortable with. We absolutely recommend Tonya."
-Jen Smith
"In the beginning we were unsure whether to utilise the services of a buyers agent. I think we all start by thinking this. Boy, are we glad we found Tonya and Claire and decided to run with them. The old adage that you don’t know what you don’t know proved correct in our case. We thought we knew enough to manage the process well enough and probably would have done okay, just. However, the twists and turns and our lack of local knowledge had us soon realise we would have definitely struggled to get our best outcome. Tonya and Claire, kept us informed, calmed us and had us comfortable in the knowledge that all required expertise was at hand. We have subsequently purchased and are very happy. Great job guys. You are very appreciated."
-Phil Usher
"There are Buyers Agents and Buyers Agents and then there’s Tonya Davidson. She is the best by a mile. Tonya has made our search for a property so seamless. She is smart, determined, professional, diligent and a joy to work with. We could not have found exactly what we were looking for without her and at a better price than we would have been able to negotiate. I’m happy to speak to anyone about how fantastic Tonya is."
-Kate Costello
