Its geographic coverage spans New South Wales (Sydney and its inner, eastern, northern and western suburbs, Sutherland Shire, Northern Beaches, Newcastle, the Hills District, Hunter Valley, Central Coast, Byron Bay and the Northern Rivers), Queensland (Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba, Logan, Moreton Bay), Victoria (Melbourne CBD and surrounding areas, Bayside, St Kilda, Redlands), the Australian Capital Territory (Canberra), South Australia (Adelaide), Western Australia (Perth) and Tasmania (Hobart). The firm markets itself on experience and recognition, citing 25 years of experience, more than 5,000 properties secured, 50+ industry awards and 315+ five-star Google reviews. Its awards include the National Telstra Business Award for Best Small Business in Australia (won in 2007, which it calls its most prestigious and most difficult award) and the NSW Real Estate Institute Award for Excellence in Buyers' Agents, won multiple times. It has also been named Best Buyers Agency of the Year 2025. Propertybuyer is a private company and is not listed on a stock exchange. Beyond transaction services, it publishes market updates, seminars and webinars, media commentary, a blog and podcasts, and offers resources such as suburb profiles, calculators, a buyer readiness quiz, free tools and e-books, and a "What's Your Property Worth?" tool.
