Palm Beach QLD 4221, AustraliaGold Coast Buyers Agent for STR Yield
Looking to buy a property for Short Term Rental on the Gold Coast
Let’s Make Sure You Choose the Right One.
Investing in a short-term rental isn’t about guessing, hoping, or relying on agent hype.
You deserve real data, local insight, and an expert partner who understands how STR properties actually perform on the Gold Coast.
That’s where we step in.
Why Work With Us? (Simple: We Live & Breathe Airbnb Performance)
We manage 40+ Airbnbs across the Gold Coast, so we see the truth every single day — not estimates, not assumptions, not “industry averages.”
We know:
✔ Which suburbs outperform year-round
✔ Which buildings welcome STRs (and which secretly don’t)
✔ What realistic occupancy looks like
✔ Which styles, layouts and amenities drive bookings
✔ What agents forget to tell you
✔ Where hidden risk lives (bylaws, complaints, approvals, etc.)
If you want a short-term rental that performs, you need someone with real numbers, not theory.
Our Niche: Short-Term Rental Investment on the Gold Coast
There are plenty of buyer’s agents who try to cover every city, every strategy, and every type of property.
We’re not one of them.
Our core expertise is in managing Airbnbs and short-term rentals on the Gold Coast. That’s what we do every day. We know what works, what doesn’t, and where the real opportunities are.
When we support buyers, it’s not from theory – it’s from deep operational experience. We help you:
- Avoid compliance issues
- Understand real-world rental performance
- Buy into buildings that are STR-friendly and guest-ready
Whether you’re local, interstate, or overseas, we help you get it right the first time.
What We Help You With
We build a clear STR financial model for your budget:
✔ Expected nightly rate
✔ Expected occupancy
✔ Seasonal fluctuations
✔ Cleaning/linen fees
✔ Management fees
✔ Body corp, rates, insurance
✔ Renovation uplift value
You’ll know the real numbers before you buy.
Our Process
We keep things simple and transparent. Here’s how our Buyers Support service works:
Initial Consultation + Upfront Fee
We begin with a short onboarding process, including a paid briefing call where we define your goals, budget, and expectations.
Research + Sourcing
We identify properties that fit your criteria, assess short-term rental potential, and provide honest appraisals using our real-world insights.
Success Fee on Purchase
If and when you secure a property through our assistance, a success fee is payable. This ensures we’re invested in helping you find the right opportunity.
Optional: Full Airbnb Setup & Management
Should you choose to have us manage the property post-purchase, we can take care of everything from styling to listing and guest management. In this case, we waive our usual Airbnb onboarding fee.
In accordance with Queensland regulations, we operate as independent Buyers Agents. We do not receive commissions or kickbacks from selling agents or developers. Our fees are paid directly by our clients, and our advice is always in the buyer’s best interest.**
No free advice. No pressure. Just clarity and experience.
Property Sourcing
Once we understand your goals and you’re ready for us to start sourcing, we put our local expertise and deep connections to work.
This isn’t just about browsing listings, we tap into:
- Pre-market alerts & agent briefings — thanks to strong relationships with trusted local agents
- Off-market and developer-held stock — properties sold quietly through our agent and developer network, often before they’re advertised
- Our exclusive database of 2,000+ STR property owners many open to selling, directly with clean listing takeover.
- Insight into buildings that consistently perform well — drawn from our Airbnb management experience
- On-the-ground inspections and real-time insights
- We tend to avoid buildings with hidden compliance issues or short-term rental restrictions
- Listed properties with untapped potential — many on-market properties can become strong STR performers with a simple facelift, styling, or repositioning.
This is where our background in STR management gives you a real advantage. We’re not guessing – we know what works.

What We Don’t Do ..and Why That Matters
We’re not here to sell hype or quote unrealistic yields. We’re here to help you buy smart.
- We don’t promise miracle returns or “15% yields”
- We don’t hype every listing
- We don’t work for free
- We’re not chasing the next “growth corridor” – our focus is purely on high-yielding, short-term rental properties in proven, high-demand Gold Coast locations
We’ve seen the buildings with issues, the listings with fake reviews, and the overpriced underperformers. We’ve also seen the hidden gems where a simple spruce-up unlocks serious potential.
We specialise in catering to two key types of investors:
- Those looking to capitalise on the booming Gold Coast tourism market (over 12 million visitors per year)
- Those wanting a beautiful holiday property they can enjoy for a few weeks a year, while generating income the rest of the time
Bottom line: Our incentives are aligned with yours. That’s why we’re trusted by STR owners and investors alike.
Setup & Management (End-to-End)
Most buyer’s agents stop at the handover.
We take your property through to high-performing Airbnb listing.
You get:
✔ Styling & setup guidance
✔ Professional photography
✔ Listing creation
✔ Dynamic pricing
✔ Guest communication
✔ Housekeeping and maintenance
✔ Monthly performance reports
✔ A genuine hands-off investment for our clients.
Already Have a Property in Mind?
- Request an Airbnb Appraisal — If you already have a specific property in mind (whether listed or under contract), we can provide a standalone report that outlines STR suitability, income potential, and any recommended improvements.
- Use Our Buyers Advocacy Service — If you engage us to help you secure a property, we’re happy to discuss and explore properties you find along the way. If something catches your eye, we’ll take a deeper look and help you understand whether it’s the right fit for your STR goals..
Helping You Avoid Bias (This Is Where People Lose the Most Money)
It’s completely normal to get attached to a property.
You see the view, the renovation, the location, and suddenly it feels meant to be.
But we see this all the time:
❌ Buyers fall in love with the wrong property
❌ They overlook better-performing options
❌ They trust the agent “Airbnb potential” lines
❌ They underestimate rules, restrictions or costs
Our role is to remove that emotional bias and bring real clarity.
We look at your budget, your goals, your lifestyle, your risk tolerance –
and then we show you the best options available, not just the one you found online.
Sometimes the property you like turns out to be the right one.
But sometimes, after seeing the data, clients realise there are stronger, safer, higher-yielding choices they hadn’t even considered.
That moment alone often saves clients tens of thousands in the first year alone.
The Hidden Advantage: Properties You Can’t See Online
Because we manage 40+ Airbnb properties and deal with agents, developers, building managers and STR owners every day,
we hear about opportunities before they ever hit realestate.com or Domain.

apartments
Owners quietly selling
their Airbnb property

This is information you simply can’t access on your own, and it’s often where the best deals are found.
Many of our clients end up buying a property they never would have discovered without us.
