Buying property on the Gold Coast can be tough. From finding the time, understanding the local market, and making sure you’re paying the right price to negotiating in confidence, or just finding the property or development site that’s right for you.
At Hemko Buyer’s Agency, 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 and seasoned investors to renovators and small-scale developers. We 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.
We’re as picky about what buying projects we take on as we are about the houses and land we buy. We never take on more clients at any single time than we know we can genuinely offer the best service to. Our clients aren’t just a number to us, and we genuinely keep their best interests at heart.
We know firsthand the joys (and pains) of buying, renovating and developing property on the Gold Coast. This gives us some unique insights to help buyers identify, undertake feasibility assessments, and negotiate purchases on existing homes or development sites that offer the best opportunity for a renovate-to-live reno, flip, knock-down rebuild or small lot development such as duplex or triplex builds.
A great buyer’s agent is more than just someone with a passion for property, they’re passionate about the client experience, too. As a professional project manager, Matt is detailed, responsive, organised and a great communicator, ensuring you never feel left in the dark or uncertain of the status of your property search.
A great buyer’s agent is more than just someone with a passion for property, they have a passion for detail, due diligence and communication, too. With his 20 years experience as a professional project manager, Matt has developed a reputation for his professionalism, problem-solving skills, reliability, and process-driven approach. As a result, you can trust that he’ll meticulously inspect every nook and cranny and assess every detail to ensure you’re making a good purchase. His thorough approach means no stone is left unturned in the pursuit of your ideal property. You will 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. These processes are designed to assess the quality of inspected properties and at the same time ensure we can give you a comprehensive price estimation. This estimation 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.
We believe in providing a tailored and client-focused service. This means we’ll never rush you into making a decision. Buying property is a significant commitment, and you should never feel pressured to move too quickly. Compared to other Gold Coast buyer’s agents who may promote quick turnarounds, we know that proper due diligence takes time. We work as efficiently as possible without cutting corners, ensuring you 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 personal attention and dedicated service to each of our clients.
We have hands-on experience renovating and developing properties on the Gold Coast. Therefore, we know first hand the joys (and pains) of buying, renovating, and developing property. This unique perspective helps us assist buyers to identify the best opportunities, conduct feasibility assessments, and negotiate purchases on existing homes or development sites. We focus on finding properties that offer the best potential for a renovate-to-live renovation, flip, knock-down rebuild, or small lot development such as duplex or triplex builds. With Hemko, 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. It’s as simple as that. We’re not interested in setting suburb records with your property purchase. We take the time to assess your brief in detail and never recommend properties that aren’t a good fit just to close a sale.
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.
