Stay away unprofessional with over promising and not delivering !!!!

Unfortunately, my experience with this buyer’s agency was highly disappointing. Despite providing a clear and specific brief, the properties presented were repeatedly misaligned with my requirements.

More concerning was their consistent failure to negotiate purchase prices of properties in my favour. In at least three separate cases when speaking directly with the real estate agents it was confirmed they would have accepted significantly lower offers than those communicated to by the DDP represented. In one case it was AUD 35,000 less than what the agency recommended offering. This clearly demonstrated a lack of effort to advocate on my behalf as a client.

In the end, the property I eventually purchased was found and negotiated entirely without their involvement, as they had failed to deliver on their core service. When I raised these issues, instead of offering a partial refund or taking accountability, they merely proposed a free “strategic session” moving forward and referred to my CRM notes. Through several emails as my designated buyer’s agent would not return my calls or messages I requested, they share these ‘notes’ and there has been no response. Why would I continue working with an agency that has shown little regard for my best interests and appeared more focused on closing the case after collecting full payment upfront?

Based on my experience, I would not recommend this service. I wish I took the reviews more seriously before wasting all that money. Please do not fall for their sales pitch you are better off going with an agency that is upfront about their commissions and only collects full payment once they have sourced a property for you.

$7,000 Double-Charged – Still No Refund

DDP Property charged my SMSF $7,000 twice in April 2023 (buyer’s agent fee at purchase of a property in WA). Despite repeated requests and formal letters of demand in 2025, they still haven’t refunded the money or resolved the issue. Over a year later, no accountability, no resolution.

Awful experience and be cautious

Honest Review – Beware of This Buyer’s Agent

We had an awful experience with this buyer’s agent and feel completely misled. They showed us properties that were not legally compliant for dual rental income, and another property that had earthquake damage—none of which was disclosed upfront. When we realized the situation and requested a refund, they outright refused.

To make matters worse, this company is licensed/registered in Victoria, while we are in NSW. We have since lodged a complaint with NSW Fair Trading, where we learned that similar complaints have been filed against them in the past, indicating a poor track record.

We are now stuck due to their deceptive practices and feel completely blocked from moving forward. If anyone wants to hear more about our experience, we are more than happy to share. Please be cautious before engaging with them.

Hi Arabelle,

Thank you for the call and your response. As discussed, the pre-approval we previously submitted is no longer valid and the process will need to be restarted.
We plan to reinitiate it next month, and once we receive the new pre-approval, we’ll share the updated documents with you.

Thanks,

Chirag

Not everything that glitters is gold.

I purchased a block of land and consulted DDP about their offer where they will pay you to use their builder. After doing my due diligence, their choice of builder provided 20sq home and more expensive than a 26sq home that I was offered from another builder.

I would suggest people to be wary and cautious of the offer DDP makes and ensure that they are getting a good value. Always do your research, compare like for like and don’t be pressured by the push-sales tactic from DDP sales team.

Hi Fayaz

Thank you for your message. Upon investigation on this matter, we see that you were provided a DDP cashback of $20,000 in cash after completion of the property which would make it less than the quotes you were provided.

Very professional

DDP team was professional, friendly, funny, attentive throughout the entire process. The systems we used to sign documents, the tutorial videos were extremely helpful and made the process very easy. We will work with Zaki and DDP team again!
