ABOUT COREY STEVENS

A buyer’s agent who reads the property, not just the price.

I became a buyer’s agent because I kept watching buyers make expensive decisions without the information they needed. After nearly four decades assessing residential properties as a building designer, I knew I could help people buy better.

WHY A BUYERS AGENT

Who I help, and why it matters.

Most buyers inspect a property for twenty minutes, form an emotional impression, and make one of the largest financial decisions of their lives based on that. I help change that process.

I work primarily with time-poor professionals, business owners, established owner-occupiers and interstate buyers relocating to Brisbane. I also assist strategic property investors and SMSF buyers working alongside their licensed financial and taxation advisers.

What these clients have in common is that they want a well-considered acquisition, not just a quick purchase. They want to understand the property, the site and the longer-term possibilities before they commit. That is exactly what I am here to provide.

MY APPROACH

Independent representation. Evidence-based advice.

As a buyer’s agent I represent only you, not the vendor. I search for properties, assess them, provide comparable-sales analysis, develop an offer strategy and handle negotiation on your behalf. My role is to help you make a clear, informed decision, and then execute that decision as effectively as possible.

What I bring beyond the typical buyer’s agent process is a building-design perspective developed across nearly four decades of residential design and construction documentation in Brisbane and South East Queensland. I can identify visible construction indicators, assess layout and liveability, consider site conditions, and give you practical context about renovation potential and maintenance implications before you commit.

This does not replace formal building and pest inspection, engineering advice, trade assessments, legal or planning advice, valuation or financial advice. Those specialists are essential and I will tell you clearly when you need them. What my observations do is help you ask the right questions and make better-informed decisions about whether to proceed, and on what terms.

WHAT MY ASSESSMENT COVERS

Building-design observations as part of every acquisition.

Every property I assess through the acquisition process receives a building-design lens applied to the visible evidence. This forms part of the broader buyer’s agent service, not a separate inspection.

What I assess and provide

  • Building-design observations from visible evidence
  • Layout and liveability assessment
  • Site access and orientation considerations
  • Visible construction indicators and material condition
  • Maintenance implications and likely cost context
  • Renovation possibilities and upgrade pathways
  • Climate response and energy performance
  • Comparable-sales analysis and market context
  • Acquisition strategy and negotiation advice
  • Questions to raise through formal due diligence

What this does not replace

  • Formal building and pest inspection
  • Structural or geotechnical engineering advice
  • Electrical, plumbing or drainage inspections
  • Town planning or development advice
  • Survey or boundary advice
  • Legal or conveyancing advice
  • Registered valuation
  • Financial or investment advice
  • Taxation advice

QUALIFICATIONS AND LICENCES

Credentials that underpin the advice.

I hold the relevant licences and qualifications for both buyer representation and building design. These are not decorative. They reflect the practical foundation behind the assessments and advice I provide.
