Property Development Specialist Buyers Agent

Company Description My Property Guy is a boutique buyer’s agency based in Sydney, focused on creating strategic property outcomes rather than simply buying property. We believe the value of a property is not only defined by what it is today, but by what the asset can become over time. Our approach focuses on land value, development potential, cash flow, long-term positioning and creating multiple future options for our clients. Rather than following trends or buying purely on emotion, we help clients make informed and intentional decisions based on planning controls, feasibility, market fundamentals and their broader property strategy. Our team works across residential acquisitions, investment property and development opportunities, giving professionals exposure to the full property journey from acquisition strategy through to development and long-term asset management. Role Description We are seeking a Property Development Specialist to join our growing Sydney team on an initial contractor basis, with the opportunity to transition into a full-time position as the role and business continue to grow. This role is suited to someone with strong residential property knowledge who naturally looks beyond the existing dwelling and understands what a site may be capable of becoming. You will work closely with clients to identify and acquire properties with development, investment and long-term asset growth potential. Opportunities may include duplexes, secondary dwellings, subdivisions, townhouses, redevelopment sites and other value-add strategies, subject to planning controls and feasibility. The role combines property acquisition, development analysis, client advisory, negotiation and stakeholder management. Key Responsibilities Source and assess residential and development-focused property opportunities across Sydney and surrounding markets. Review zoning, planning controls, site characteristics, frontage, access and development potential. Conduct preliminary feasibility assessments including acquisition costs, development costs, expected end values, rental returns and project margins. Identify opportunities for duplexes, secondary dwellings, subdivisions, townhouses and other development strategies. Conduct market, suburb and comparable-sales research. Inspect properties and prepare clear recommendations for clients. Advise clients on acquisition strategy, development potential, risk and long-term asset positioning. Undertake property due diligence and coordinate with solicitors, brokers, planners, architects, builders and other professional advisers. Build and maintain strong relationships with selling agents and industry stakeholders. Negotiate property purchases on behalf of clients. Prepare property assessments, feasibility summaries and acquisition recommendations. Maintain an organised pipeline of properties, opportunities and active client briefs. Assist in refining internal acquisition, feasibility and development processes. Maintain strong communication with clients throughout the acquisition process. Qualifications & Experience The successful candidate will ideally have: Experience in residential property, must have property development, buyer’s agency, acquisitions or investment advisory. A current NSW real estate licence or the ability to meet relevant NSW licensing requirements. Strong understanding of the Sydney residential property market. Experience identifying development and value-add opportunities. Ability to interpret zoning, planning controls, property reports and development information. Experience with property feasibility analysis and an understanding of development costs, margins and end values. Proven experience in property acquisition, due diligence and negotiation. Strong client-facing skills and the ability to build trusted long-term relationships. Excellent verbal and written communication skills. Strong organisation, attention to detail and pipeline management. A strategic, analytical and commercially minded approach. Confidence working independently across office, site inspections and remote environments. High standards of integrity, professionalism and accountability. Experience working with planners, architects, builders, developers or development consultants will be highly regarded. What We Are Looking For We are looking for someone who naturally looks beyond the existing house. You should be able to walk onto a property and immediately start thinking about the land, access, frontage, zoning, planning controls, rental potential, resale value and the different outcomes that could potentially be created from the site. This is not a traditional property sales role. We want someone who enjoys analysing property, solving problems and helping clients make decisions based on strategy rather than emotion. You will suit My Property Guy if you are commercially minded, proactive, client-focused and genuinely interested in property development and investment. Why Join My Property Guy? My Property Guy is not a traditional buyer’s agency. You will work in a business that looks beyond the transaction and focuses on what a property can become over time. That means exposure to acquisition strategy, development potential, feasibility, planning, negotiation, construction and long-term asset positioning. You will have the opportunity to: Work on genuine development-focused opportunities across Sydney. Gain exposure to duplexes, subdivisions, secondary dwellings, townhouses and other value-add strategies. Work directly with clients and play a meaningful role in shaping their property strategy. Collaborate with professionals across finance, legal, planning, design, construction and property management. Develop your skills across both acquisition and development. Work in a growing boutique business where your judgement, ideas and contribution matter. Build a longer-term career pathway, commencing as a contractor with the opportunity to transition into a full-time position. We are building a business around strategy, accountability, long-term relationships and strong client outcomes. If you want to do more than simply find properties and want to understand how to create value through property, this role offers that opportunity.
