Buying property on the Gold Coast can be tough – from finding the time and understanding the local market & agents, to making sure you’re paying the right price and to negotiating in confidence.
We’re the Gold Coast Buyer’s Agent that can help you find your dream home, renovator’s delight, development project, or investment property. We work with everyone from first-time home buyers, downsizers and seasoned investors to renovators and small-scale developers. Whether you’re a Gold Coast local or relocating to this beautiful part of Australia that we call home, we’ll take the time and stress out of your Gold Coast property search and help make sure you’re getting the right property for the right price.
A buyer’s agent is a licensed real estate professional who works exclusively for you, the buyer. We don’t sell real estate, and we operate independently of real estate sales agents. We’re local Gold Coast market property specialists. Our job is to find the best property that suits your needs and negotiating the best possible terms on your behalf.
Hi, I’m Matt Koch, Director of Hemko Buyer’s Agency. I’m a Gold Coast local based in Mermaid Beach. My wife Kathryn and I are the team behind well-known local renovation and development projects the Burleigh Beach Retreat and Kaari on Kiers, Miami.
I now bring this ‘skin in the game’ experience buying, developing and selling local properties to my work as a Gold Coast buyer’s agent. I also have more than twenty years’ experience as a professional project manager. As a result, I have a keen eye for detail and due-diligence, always prioritise communication, and am a skilled negotiator.
Buying property is a huge investment. I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
Heading to a property auction on the Gold Coast, or somewhere else in Queensland? Put yourself in the best position to win the auction at the right price with a strong auction strategy. We’ve developed this Queensland Property Auction Buyer Checklist in order to help you do just that.
The best Gold Coast buyer’s agent is more than just someone with a passion for property. With 20 years experience as a professional project manager, you can trust that Matt will meticulously inspect every nook and cranny of the properties on your shortlist, and assess every detail to ensure you’re making a good purchase. His custom client project management portal means you’ll never feel left in the dark or uncertain of the status of your property search.
Leveraging his project management experience, Matt has developed comprehensive processes for property inspections, due diligence, and price estimating. This allows him to give you an estimation that considers multiple factors including up-to-date local market conditions, recent sales, buyer demand, and seller discounting trends. For that reason, you can be confident in the quality and value of your purchase.
Buying property is a significant commitment, and you should never feel pressured to move too quickly – we know that proper due diligence takes time. We work as efficiently as possible without cutting corners so you can make an informed and confident decision. We also limit the number of clients we work with simultaneously and do not accept competing briefs. This allows us to guarantee dedicated service to each of our clients.
We have hands-on experience renovating and developing Gold Coast properties. This unique perspective helps us assist buyers to identify the best opportunities, conduct feasibility assessments, and negotiate purchases on existing homes or development sites. You benefit from our deep understanding of the local market and our track record of successful property transformations.
At Hemko, our measure of success isn’t how many briefs we have, how many properties we inspect, how quickly we find your property, or how many deals we close. Our measure of success is whether or not we helped you, our client, buy a quality property at a fair value that met your brief in the timeframe you needed. We never recommend properties that aren’t a good fit just to close a sale. It’s as simple as that.
We’ve lived on the Gold Coast for more than five years and spent many years in Brisbane prior to that. We’ve experienced life in Mermaid Beach, Burleigh and Palm Beach and have an intimate knowledge of the neighbourhoods and niche pockets in these and dozens of neighbouring suburbs. Our strong relationships with local real estate agents, developed over many years of property purchasing and sales, are a key asset. These relationships enable us to gain access to exclusive properties and private viewings. We encourage you to ask local real estate agents which buyer’s agents they recommend. Our extensive network includes conveyancers, solicitors, brokers, and building and pest inspectors, ensuring comprehensive support throughout your property journey.
