Geelong buyer's agent
A Geelong buyer's agent who shows you the data first
Geelong grew because Melbourne buyers priced out of the inner suburbs kept moving down the rail corridor, and that is a real driver, not the whole story. Barwon Health, the university and a growing manufacturing base employ Geelong independently of Melbourne, and we weigh both forces suburb by suburb rather than assuming one explains the other.

The Geelong market
Is Geelong actually its own economy, or is it just Melbourne overflow that will soften the moment Melbourne affordability improves?
We do not publish a median for Geelong because we do not hold a figure we can stand behind. We will give you the current numbers on the call instead of printing an estimate here.
What is driving it
- A diversifying economy across health, advanced manufacturing and renewable energy manufacturing linked to Victoria's offshore wind industry
- Population growth as Melbourne's affordability pushes buyers down the Geelong rail corridor
- Infrastructure investment including the Geelong Fast Rail upgrade, the Armstrong Creek growth corridor and the Avalon Airport precinct
Strong long-term performers: Newtown, Highton, Herne Hill. The current opportunity is rarely where the last cycle’s growth was.
Geelong is close enough to Melbourne that a soft Melbourne market can drag on sentiment, and far enough to have genuine industry of its own. We buy here when the local employment and vacancy data hold up on their own terms, not just because Melbourne is expensive that month.

Straight answers
The things people actually ask us before they sign
Every one of these came from a real conversation. We have answered them the way we answer them on the phone.
“How do I know you're actually data-driven?”
Fair to ask, given how often Geelong gets pitched purely as a Melbourne commuter play.
Geelong gets sold as a Melbourne commuter play more often than its own numbers get checked. We track vacancy and rental demand separately for owner occupier heavy pockets like Newtown against renter heavy areas near the university and hospital precinct, because a single Geelong figure blends two different markets.
Research is applied suburb by suburb, not at the whole of Geelong level.
“Buyer's agents aren't worth it at my price point.”
Geelong is more affordable than Melbourne, and that is not the same as lower stakes.
Geelong prices sit below Melbourne's, and buyers sometimes read that as a lower stakes decision. A poorly chosen property in Herne Hill still ties up capital for years; the lower entry price changes the amount at risk, not whether the due diligence matters.
The same 20-point due diligence process applies to every Geelong purchase.
“Is this just the founder's name on a brochure?”
Fair question, and Arjun is not personally sourcing Geelong stock.
Arjun is not the person inspecting properties in Highton or negotiating a Geelong contract; a strategist and the local research team run the file. What carries over from the founder is the process the award winning team was built on, not personal involvement in every Geelong deal.
REB Buyer's Agency of the Year, winner 2023, 2024 and 2026, reflects the system, not one person's Geelong workload.
“The last buyer's agent ignored my brief.”
Valid industry complaint, worth stating plainly for Geelong.
If your brief is Newtown or Herne Hill and the stock available on our list is Armstrong Creek new builds, we tell you that rather than pitching the growth corridor as a substitute for the established inner suburb you actually asked for.
We decline to proceed where a client's brief and available Geelong stock genuinely do not match.
“Communication drops off once you've signed me.”
Fair concern, and a Geelong purchase can genuinely go quiet for a stretch during due diligence.
A Geelong purchase can go quiet for weeks during due diligence on a property near the Armstrong Creek corridor while approvals and searches come back, and that silence reads as us going cold. We set the milestone cadence at onboarding so a quiet week is expected, not a surprise.
Update cadence is set at onboarding and tracked by milestone.
“The fee is a lot of money.”
Geelong sits at the price point where the fee is hardest to justify on the arithmetic alone.
It is neither Melbourne money nor a cheap regional town, so the fee is a real proportion of the purchase without the headline saving that makes it obvious. What it buys is the same negotiation and due diligence work behind a Highton purchase as behind a capital city one, which is the part that does not scale down with the price.
$2B+ in property value represented for 2,200+ clients on the same fee structure.
“You don't have an office here.”
Fair, we do not have a Geelong office and we say so plainly.
We do not have a Geelong office, and we say so rather than implying a local presence we don't have. What we run instead is a strategist on your file plus local conveyancers, inspectors and property managers who work Geelong and the Bellarine every week.
The model is remote everywhere except our Bella Vista, NSW head office.
