The Northern Beaches
property market
is hard work.
You watch homes you would have bought sell to someone who had better contacts, sharper negotiation, or a clearer read on price. You adjust your budget. You adjust your suburbs. The home you actually want keeps moving further away.
The market you can see is not the whole market
The homes that never reach a portal move through relationships built over years. Without them you are choosing from the same public list as everyone else, however much time you put into it.
Dealing with sales agents is not for the inexperienced
You are going up against trained professionals who do this daily. Under pressure you make mistakes, overpay, or miss out.
You don't know what a fair price is in each suburb
Comparable sales vary by street, orientation, size and condition. Without that context, every offer is a guess.
Northern Beaches
buyers agents.
For buyers only.
Directors Michael Ossitt and Josh Bryan, along with the team, all live locally. The STRAND office is located on Sydney Road in Balgowlah.
We only work for buyers. We do not list, we do not sell, we do not run open homes.
Property buying is what we do. That's why our service remains truly independent.
Working for buyers every day is also how we hear about homes before they are listed. You see more of the market than you could reach on your own.
The STRAND Property Buyers team
From brief
to keys.
Discovery
We sit down, understand the brief, map out suburbs, and set the search parameters. Nothing is committed at this stage.
We do the work
We search what is listed and what is not, inspect on your behalf, run comparable sales, and negotiate price and terms.
You get the keys
You see the whole list. You decide what to pursue. We help coordinate everything from offer through to settlement.
In their words,
not ours.
The best buyer's agent you can get.
“I am an agent, trading 55-plus homes a year on the Northern Beaches, and I come across at least 100 different buyers agents a year. I had never seriously considered engaging one before. Josh and his team ultimately helped us purchase our dream home, just three weeks after engagement. I honestly don't know how buyers go through this journey without someone like Josh by their side.”
Harry
Sales agent and home buyer
Saved us hundreds of thousands of dollars.
“Josh got us into an off-market property and secured us a private viewing. We negotiated and secured it before it went to market. If it had gone to market it would have flown above our budget, but through Josh and his team we secured our forever home.”
Karen & Nat
Forever home, bought off-market
Initially, I was hesitant about hiring a buyer's agent.
“I thought I could easily handle the house hunting process myself. After a strong recommendation, I decided to give Josh, Michael and the team a try. It turned out to be the best decision I could have made. What truly sets them apart is their ability to remain calm and collected, even in the midst of a hectic market.”

You may not need
a buyers agent.
STRAND is for you if
You need a home in the next six months, not the next five years.
You want one advisor from brief to settlement, not a committee.
You want to see more of the market, not less of it.
STRAND is not for you if
You want a guarantee on price or timing. We will tell you what is realistic, not what you want to hear.
You are shopping across Sydney. We only cover the Northern Beaches.
You are looking for the lowest fee, not the best outcome.
Where do
we start?
Tell us what you want and where. We will tell you what we think is realistic, and what we would do next.
