You don't have to buy where you live.

Rent the lifestyle. Invest where the numbers stack up.

"Why spend $2 million on an asbestos shack an hour from the city just to say you own something? Rent where the lifestyle actually makes sense; the suburb, the cafes, the restaurants, the commute, and invest somewhere you can afford to enter, in a market that's actually going to grow."
Yousef Iqbal, Founder

Every recommendation I make is backed by data. The numbers either support it or they don't. No gut feel.

My Story

Yousef Iqbal · Founder

I became a buyer's agent because I couldn't find one I could trust.

When I first started researching property, I couldn't find a single buyer's agent making decisions based on real data. So I built my own system: 15,000+ suburbs run through 84+ weighted factors to find where the opportunity was.

I knew where to buy. What I needed was someone to source the deal and negotiate it. So I hired a buyer's agent. A well-known one. What I got was property recommendations in flood zones. No data, no rationale, no sense that anyone was in my corner. I walked away, backed myself, and bought independently. That property grew 30% in a year.

In 2023 I launched CoBuyers. I'm now 27 with 5 properties across a ~$3M portfolio. Not luck. Not volume. Just the right picks. If that sounds like where you want to be, the next step is a call.

Why CoBuyers Is Different

Not all buyer's agents are the same.

One Person. Full Picture.

From the first call to settlement, you work directly with me. No handoffs to a junior who has never bought a property.

No Commission. No Conflict.

I don't take referral fees from selling agents or developers. My fee is flat, paid by you, with no incentive tied to any particular property.

I Buy in the Same Markets I Recommend.

I have 5 properties and a ~$3M portfolio across the same markets I source for clients. My own money is in the same places I send yours.

Boutique by Choice.

I'm selective with who I take on so every client gets the full focus they deserve. It's how I've built the results on this page.

The Process

My 6 Steps to Success

Discovery Call

I start with a call to understand your borrowing capacity, goals, and what's held you back. From there, I build a property strategy around your specific numbers and timeline.

1
2

Market Research

I filter 15,000+ suburbs through 84+ weighted data factors: stock levels, demand, affordability, and infrastructure. By the time you see a suburb, it's already cleared a high bar.

Property Sourcing

You see every property I've considered, with my pros, cons, and reasoning. Most of what I source never hits realestate.com.au, which means less competition and better entry pricing.

3
4

Offer and Negotiation

I form a strategic offer, walk you through it before submitting, then negotiate on price and conditions. I'll also push to list the property before settlement to cut your vacancy window.

Settlement

I coordinate your conveyancer, building and pest inspector, and property manager through to settlement. The goal is to settle on time with a tenant in place or the listing already live.

Portfolio Monitoring

Once you settle, I don't disappear. I keep an eye on your portfolio and flag when you're ready to pull equity or add the next property.

Before You Book

Is this right for you?

This is for you if…
  • ✓Sydney's priced you out and you're open to interstate, if the numbers actually stack up.
  • ✓You're done with the podcasts, YouTube channels and gurus all pointing you in different directions.
  • ✓You're not scared of investing. You're scared of choosing the wrong suburb.
  • ✓When someone says "good area," you want to know why. Growth drivers. Supply story. Data.
  • ✓You don't have 10–20 hours a week for suburb research, agent calls and inspections.
  • ✓You're here to build real wealth. You know this is a long-term play.

No pitch, no pressure. Just an honest conversation about where you stand.

Probably not for you if…
  • ✕Your investment advice comes from the uncle who bought his house for 50 grand and a carton of beers 20 years ago.
  • ✕You need a guarantee before committing. I'll give you data and honesty, not certainty.
  • ✕You and your partner aren't fully aligned. Off-market deals don't wait.
  • ✕You want a high-rise or off-the-plan property. I don't work with assets that underperform.
  • ✕You make decisions based on how a property feels, not what the numbers say.
FAQ

Questions worth asking

Most buyer's agents are salespeople with a licence who have never owned an investment property. I have 5, built on the same methodology I use for every client, in the same markets I recommend. Every data point and piece of research is shared with you directly. You see what I see, we decide together, and nothing gets pushed on you.
Most people who ask this have already tried. Months of research, three podcasts all pointing at different cities, a spreadsheet that looks convincing at midnight and makes no sense by morning. The information is not the problem. It is everywhere. The problem is knowing which numbers to weight, which signals are leading indicators versus noise, and how to read a suburb's supply story before the rest of the market catches on. The fee exists because one bad decision costs multiples of it.
Nobody can predict market timing to the day or month, but reading the right data signals gets you close. The markets I consider are filtered for genuine economic diversification, not cities reliant on a single employer or industry. From there, the search is shaped around your risk appetite. The strategy is tailored to each client. I am not pushing the same suburbs to everyone who walks through the door.
A retainer is paid upfront to begin the search. The balance is due on a successful purchase. The fee covers everything: strategy, research, suburb shortlisting, property sourcing, negotiation, and full coordination through to settlement. There are no add-ons for building and pest liaison, property manager introductions, or contract support. One fee, start to finish.
You rely on someone who has. I have personally invested in most of the markets I recommend. I know the agents, the streets, and the stock. Every suburb I shortlist comes with the full case: comparable sales, vacancy rates, yield history, population trends, infrastructure pipeline. You do not need to have walked the streets yourself. You need to understand why the numbers make sense. I will make sure you do before anything is agreed.
The retainer covers the work: strategy, research, shortlisting, and agent outreach. It does not buy a property. If nothing clears the brief after a thorough search, nothing gets pushed. Before I take on any client, I make sure the brief is actually achievable. If the budget, timeline, or market expectations are not realistic, I will say so before anything is agreed. I do not take on searches I cannot deliver. By the time a client engages me, we are already aligned on what success looks like.

Still thinking? That's what the call is for.

I'll tell you honestly where you stand, what needs to happen before you buy, and whether now is the right time for you specifically.
