Somebody had to be on the buyer’s side

Every seller has an agent working around the clock to get the highest price. Hunter Gather was founded in Brisbane to put someone equally committed on the other side of the table: a buyers agency that works for the buyer alone, takes no commission from anyone else, and hunts until the right home is secured at the right price.

Built by people who have sat on both sides of the table

Our founders came from sales as well as buyer representation, so we know how a listing is priced, marketed and negotiated from the inside. That is the view we bring to every purchase, and it is what wins in a competitive market.

The results come from trust-based relationships with selling agents and from negotiating well. Whether a home is quietly held off market, moving through private networks or sitting in plain sight, we get you in front of it. We do not settle for what is convenient; we keep hunting until we have the best outcome available.

While the seller has a representative working to maximise their result, we stand exclusively in your corner.

Our services

Full service

We take the whole search off your hands. Brief, search, inspections, shortlist, valuation, negotiation and settlement. You keep your weekends.

Assess and negotiate

You have found the property. We tell you what it is worth, what the risks are, and then negotiate the price on your behalf.

Auction bidding

We set the strategy with you beforehand and bid on the day, so you are not making a six-figure decision on the footpath under pressure.

Vendor advocacy

Selling as well as buying. We choose the selling agent, agree the campaign, and hold them to it, without the emotion.

“An outstanding experience with David Thomas”

Dave stood out for his exceptional communication. He kept us informed at every stage, always taking the time to explain things clearly. We never felt in the dark, and that transparency made finding our first home far less daunting.

“Secured me a home within weeks”

I searched every weekend for 8 months and had no luck. Dave and the team secured me a home within weeks. They have access to so much market intel. Wish I had done it sooner!

“Took care of it all in my absence”

They were very thorough and I have every confidence I made the right purchase. I bought at auction while away interstate, so Chavonne and Anna took care of it all in my absence.
