We have just completed buying our 2nd investment property with Janet Spencer of Buyers Solution, acting as our buyers advocate. Both experiences of purchasing property with Janet have been exceptional and extremely positive - Janet is a total real estate professional but one who make the process understandable for those of us who do not have experience in the real estate market. She is honest, ethical and a straight shooter - something of a rarity in the real estate world. You feel as though you have an expert working for you when Janet is acting for you as a buyers advocate and this is an extremely reassuring place to be when you are looking to spend many $100,000s. Janet's advice about property choice and what is essential in an investment property, her instinct for good buys and attainable purchase prices have been spot on & led us to the purchase of two excellent properties at extremely good prices and ones we believe (based on her professional advice & knowledge of the market) will appreciate extremely well in value. The cost of her involvement in our purchases have been wholly funded by her negotiating a price that I doubt we would have been able to achieve alone. Janet's after-sales service & support is extraordinary & a wonderful addition to the upfront buyers advocacy role.- Janet is available to discuss issues with the rental of the purchased property and has negotiated with the leasing agents on our behalf. I would wholeheartedly recommend Janet Spencer and have in fact referred both a family member and close friend. You will be in wonderful caring and professional hands if you choose to engage Janet Spencer of Buyers Solution.

I would never buy a house any other way!!!! We were first home buyers, unsure of everything. Although we only had a small budget we really needed some help to organise and focus our hunt. Having two small children and full time jobs meant that we couldn't spend every weekend looking at houses for hours on end! So we made an appointment to see Janet. Right off the bat she was fantastic! Janet is so professional and approachable. She answered all of our questions and asked the right questions of us. She seemed to really understand the type of house we were looking for. We were very worried that we would not be able to find a house as we had a small budget, VERY specific area requirements and lots of additional requirements regarding proximity to public transport, shopping centres, schools etc. None of this daunted Janet though, she just went right out each week and looked at every house that could fit our criteria. Early on we found a house that we thought was perfect but unfortunately we were outbid. It was disheartening but Janet was very supportive and got us right back on the hunt. And thank goodness she did! She managed to find a house for us that was off market, in an even better location, with more features and a nicer feel - and not only that, she managed to secure it for us for $40,000 less than the previous one we were looking at. Without her this would never have happened. Janet, or the team at buyers solution always answer the phone, always take the time to support you properly, and always give 100%. Thank you so much Janet!!!!!

We had spent several months looking for our first family home in Australia and got to a point where we were feeling dejected from the process - attending a number of auctions and missing out. It was then we sought the help of Janet Spencer from Buyer Solutions. From our very first meeting, she put us at ease - I was highly impressed with her professionalism and 'straight talking' style. And immediately felt like she was someone whom we wanted to work with. (For the record, we had also approached another high profile buyers' agent and found them to be obnoxious and full of jargon) We had given Janet a brief that was a challenge - we wanted to buy in a premium suburb but had a comparatively modest budget. It took several months of attending auctions, negotiating private sales before we finally found our home. Throughout the process, we absolutely felt that Janet was on our side - I respected that fact that she would advise against purchasing a property if she felt it wasn't right - proof that she wasn't just out to make her commission and move on. And that she truly wanted to ensure that her clients are happy in the end. If it wasn't for Janet's experience and contacts in the industry, the respect that she commands from selling agents and her assertiveness in ensuring a great result for her clients, I really do feel that we would still be looking. Thank you Janet and we do hope to work with Buyers Solutions in the future again.

Buying a house anywhere in Australia right now is hard, daunting, stressful and expensive! I wish we had engaged a buyer’s advocate like Buyer Solutions 2.5 years ago when we first started looking in Sydney and then ended up moving to Melbourne and buying here. As soon as we decided on working with Janet, life just got easier, weight lifted off the shoulders, and the search stopped seeming impossible. We talked to 3 firms before deciding on Janet. We did that bc Janet has a direct, authentic, and transparent style, the fees were competitive, and we wanted to support a women-led firm. She really takes time to provide information and helps you understand what the risks are, respects the boundaries required on what she can and can’t give advice on, and introduced us to the right other people to get things finalised. I mean 20+ yrs in the biz and you’ve got a stellar network. She went above and beyond including doing things we wouldn’t have even thought to ask for to check on a property viability. Janet was amazing at an auction (we didn’t win that one as it went over our agreed ceiling, but felt so confident and stress free with Janet taking care of it), and she handled the negotiation of the one we ended up getting in the same way. In less than 2 months we had our dream inner south east house in Melbourne in our price range. Thank you Janet and team. We absolutely would recommend Buyer Solutions!

  • Kyle Griffith

We were looking to purchase our first home and really didn't know what we were doing. Seeing as my wife and I both work full time neither of us had time to handle the process. We met with Janet at Buyer Solutions and discussed what we were looking for and the following weekend found a house that was better than we thought could be found. Without the team at Buyer Solutions help to get the purchase I can guarantee we would have missed this property just for lack off knowledge of what is involved in purchasing a property. The tactics of when to conduct building inspections, how much to offer and when added to the experience. When it came time to purchase we were at the upper end of our budget and really starting to wonder if we should push any further and the peace of mind we got through Buyer Solutions process of identifying purchase prices was invaluable. I really felt like my best interests were being looked after. In my mind it has been the easiest thing in the world to purchase our first home and don't know how anyone could manage it while working without some form of reliable and professional assistance. I can guarantee that come time to purchase my investment properties and lease them out I will be in contact with Buyer Solutions for assistance.

"Janet Spencer is by far THE BEST person to have on your side when you are looking to purchase real estate as your home or for investment. Don't waste your time and money with any other Buyer's Advocate or going out there on your own and dealing with real estate agents who are trying to maximise the profits for the property seller. Janet is the consummate professional in the field of representing you, the buyer. Janet practises with a level of integrity, experience and focus that I have not encountered with any other Buyer's Advocate that I have tried in the past. I am a long-term client of 11 years and her company, Buyer Solutions, has provided me with a premium and trusted service during that time. Your patience shown towards me, you bidding power at auctions, your negotiation skill during private sales with real estate agents, and your attention to due diligence during the pre-purchasing phase is SECOND TO NONE!! Janet has also been the winner of the Real Estate Institute of Victoria (REIV) Buyers Agent of the Year for 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2018...Need I say more !! Thank you Janet. You are truly a rare GEM in your field !!" Nicholas

  • Vince D

We can attest that when you retain Buyers Solutions as a buyer's advocate you will deal directly and continuously with Janet. And with that you'll gain access to her many years of experience in the field and her contacts. It seems she knows just about everyone in every corner of the business. So, if you need an accountant, a home inspector, a solicitor - she's got recommendations. And never did we feel pressured or pushed into using a particular resource. She simply offered them as options. As for Janet herself, she has a genuine interest in the marketplace and it shows. We had her running around a fairly large geography of Melbourne under difficult circumstances (lockdowns, a changing market with rapidly escalating prices and a shortage of supply) and she didn't bat an eye. We placed a great deal of trust and reliance on Janet, as we were overseas and making decisions based on pictures, videos and Janet's inspections and observations. We're delighted with the outcome, secured under battlefield conditions, and it couldn't have been done without Buyers Solutions.

  • Ingrid Savell

Buyers' advocate extraordinaire! Conscientious & thorough. Janet thought of everything that needed to be investigated to ensure the integrity of the house and neighbours' plans that would have affected land value. Friendly and helpful. Janet has such a warm and professional approach. Professional. Janet has years of experience and this is reflected in the connections and knowledge she uses to represent her clients. We saw first hand that she is honest and honourable which has gained her an respected and liked reputation amongst real estate agents. Timely & Active. We are absolutely positive that we would have missed out on the house we purchased without Janet's help! Early offers before the auction seem to be so common these days and if you're not connected and fast they're sold before you realise! This was the case for us but Janet was on the ball with a warning for us and we were able to counter offer to win the deal. Choose Janet from Buyer Solutions. We highly recommend Janet's services whether buying or selling for great advice and an honest approach.

  • Steph McRae

I would highly recommend Janet and her team at buyer’s solutions. I am a young female first home buyer (competing with downsizers and couples) and had previously felt very manipulated by real estate agents. Janet puts you first as her client and will go above and beyond- she is contactable at any time, friendly, honest and prompt with her service. She is detail orientated, ensuring you are fully informed before buying the property you want (she saved me from buying a lemon of a property that was incorrectly marketed earlier in the year). She saved me time, energy and stress by not only finding me my first home within a month, but organising all building inspections, conveyancing, researching surrounding areas and negotiating with agents on my behalf- saving me approx 15% compared to other sales in the area. She is worth every penny! I have and will continue to recommend her to my nearest and dearest.

  • Hamish Fawns

Appointing Buyer Solutions to source and buy an investment property was a great decision. Throughout the search Janet worked tirelessly vetting multiple properties each week. Using her exceptional knowledge of the Melbourne property market Janet was able to present me with a series of high quality investment opportunities: Extremely attractive properties that would draw top rental returns that were situated to achieve very high capital growth while falling under my budget. The search was a joy and after only the second auction I was able to secure an exceptional investment property and am thrilled with the final outcome. Without the help of Buyer Solutions I would have missed a lot of great opportunities and spent huge amounts of time attending auctions for properties that ended up being beyond my budget.

  • Andy -

We wanted to buy an investment property in Melbourne, but we were living in Perth, and could not spare much time away from work. After several months of trying to do the searching and inspection process ourselves, we found that we weren't getting anywhere. That was when we searched around for a buyer's agent. Janet stood out from the crowd by being direct and honest. The process was simple, and she inspected each property, providing us with bias-free photos - a must when most selling agents seem to photoshop their ads to hide the faults. She assisted us with organising the building inspections, and eventually won a bid at auction for a good price. I would recommend Buyer's Solutions as a solid choice in the Buyer's Agent industry.

  • Carrie Retallack

Does this company really exist? Shockingly poor service if it does. I have made many attempts to contact Janet Spencer regarding a property I found for lease on realestate.com.au – I've left my details and requested an inspection through the online form, I've called and left several messages on both Janet's mobile and through the company number, all with ZERO response. My partner has done the same. The property is still advertised online as 'available', though even if it's been leased already I would have appreciated a response to let me know. REPLY TO JANET: Yes Janet I most certainly did call your mobile, several times in fact as stated and so did my partner.

  • JN

We have had the pleasure of engaging Janet Spencer from Buyer Solutions for our investment purchase and we weren’t disappointed. This was our first time engaging a buyer’s advocate so we did not know what to expect and was a bit skeptical about the whole process. Within the first week of dealing with Janet, we knew we were in good hands. Janet was professional, knowledgeable and had great work ethic. Her understanding of the market is excellent. She had our best interests at heart. I am confident that my property will perform well and deliver the capital growth expected by us. Highly recommend Janet and her team.

  • Abaran Deep

Having been impressed with the level professional and friendly service in a recent purchase of an investment property through Buyer Solutions I thought I’d try out their rental management offering. The property was rented the day after settlement - a great outcome in a tough market. The thorough tenant selection process and the systematic pre-rental inspection made me feel that I have made a good decision. I would recommend Buyer Solutions to any property investor looking for a rental management agency with a professional yet personal approach.

  • Finlay Wilkins

We recently bought a house with a massive amount of help from Buyer Solutions. As first home buyers, the service was amazing and we could not have done it without them! Massive thank you to Janet specifically who responded instantly and worked non-stop to help us. She went to inspections while we were working and send detailed reports including photos, information on recent renovations, and up and coming changed to the neighbourhood. We also received advice on smarter investment opportunities that helped us make decisions. Thanks again!

  • boppaju

I have been a tenant in a property managed by Buyer Solutions for almost 5 years. From the beginning process of being accepted as a tenant who was a good fit, rather than the one willing to offer more money, Janet and her team were fantastic to deal with and have remained so, dealing with any maintenance issues promptly and efficiently and treating me like a real person rather than a “client.” Unfortunately, I have to leave my little haven, but I absolutely recommend Buyer Solutions for your rental/property needs.

  • Sophie McRae

Janet and her hardworking team immediately put our minds at ease throughout the buying process. As first homebuyers, we had become disillusioned with the buying process and the tactics used by certain agents, however once we engaged Buyer Solutions, we knew they had our interests at heart. Janet and her team found us a property within 2 weeks and saved us a considerable amount of money through the negotiation with the selling agent. We've already recommended Buyer Solutions to family/friends/colleagues alike!

  • Emma Ernst

As first time property buyers based in London wanting to purchase an apartment in Melbourne, we chose Janet after interviewing a number of other buyers advocates. We found Janet to always be available to take our calls whenever we had queries. She helped us secure a good investment property in Fitzroy, taking into account as well as managing our specific requirements. The transition to property management was also very smooth. Her team now helps us to manage the property and found us top rated tenants

  • Sue Ellson

I first met Janet Spencer of Buyer Solutions in 2001 and have been impressed by her constant commitment and passion for buying quality real estate on behalf of her discerning clients. She has maintained an excellent reputation for quality service (winning several awards) and has shown her desire for the development of the industry by sharing her expertise with the Real Estate Institute of Victoria (REIV). If you are buying or selling property, speak to Janet Spencer for expert advice.

  • Nicole Heales

As a financial adviser and mortgage broker, I understand the importance of buying the right property, not just any property. Janet has helped many of my clients buy the right property, at the right price. She takes the frustration, time and guess work out of buying property. She's a straight shooter and a tough negotiator, and I can't imagine anyone more accomplished to have on your team. Thank you Janet for all your expertise and care, I really appreciate it.

  • Damon

Long term client of Buyer Solutions - have worked with Janet Spencer and her team many times buying investment properties and used their services for management and leasing of rental properties. Our last task was the purchase, renovation and sale of a house with the Vendor Advocate services being very helpful. I recommend you speak with Buyer Solutions if buying or selling in Melbourne as it has been stress free and financially rewarding for myself

  • Chris de Silva

My wife and I engaged Buyer Solutions to purchase a townhouse for us in the Eastern suburbs initially as an investment but with a view to downsizing in the future. Mike McNamara of Buyer Solutions was very patient with us as we looked at close to 75 properties over nearly 4 months before we finally found the "right one". Buyer Solutions saved us a lot of time and money in the purchase of our property. I would never buy property any other way.

  • Chris Donnelly

We have leased a residential property from Buyer Solutions for over 3 years now. We have had a very good experience and really appreciate the level of communication with Janet and her team, and their responsiveness. I would not hesitate in leasing a property through Buyer Solutions in the future, and would strongly recommend them to family and friends. Thank you, Chris and Kate.

  • Marsha Watson

I can highly recommend Janet to assist with the purchase of a property. I wanted an investment property for my SMSF but had no idea how to go about it. Janet helped me to sift through many alternatives until I found the right one. She now manages that rental property for me and is always extremely thorough and professional. I would definitely ask her to help me again.

  • Jess F

As a first home buyer, I found the service from Janet at Home Buyer Solutions invaluable. Her experience and thorough research helped me secure my ideal property in a tough market. I don't think I would have got the property at the price I paid without her. I would recommend Buyers Solutions to anyone looking for expert guidance in the property market.

  • Shannon Neilsen

We found Janet and her team to be extremely knowledgeable, responsive and flexible in meeting our needs. We are Australians based overseas and used Janet to help us with the purchase of an investment property in Melbourne. We are very happy with the speed and diligence of her search and her insight into the market. We are very happy with our purchase

  • C F

Whilst initially apprehensive to engage a buyers agent, we can’t thank Janet enough. She exceeded our expectations. Her communication throughout was exceptional. She worked tirelessly and used her extensive knowledge to secure the perfect home for us and all within a timely manner. I would highly recommend Buyer Solutions to my family and friends.

  • jenny crameri

Janet Spencer at Buyer Solutions helped us to buy our family home in Melbourne as well as a duplex investment property in South Yarra. We recently sold the investment property after 18 years. It was a great investment and Janet was involved with the purchase and the sale, with great effect. I would recommend Janet if you are buying or selling!

  • Marita Evans

My experience working with Janet Spencer was from the beginning absolutely fantastic. I was very confident Janet would secure my property, Janet and her team kept me up to date with every aspect to achieve our amazing end result. Buyer Solutions have shown honesty, integrity and effiency and I have no hesitation in recommending them.

  • Chris Peschke

We have been dealing with Janet and her team for the past 20 years with the purchase of our current family home. Since then we have purchased investment properties with her help and have them rented through Buyer Solutions. Nothing but good advice and experience and we can highly recommend her and the team.

  • Darryl Finlay

Janet and her team at Buyers Solutions were fantastic. We were buying whilst overseas and in no time Janet and her team filled us with confidence. They were a real pleasure to deal with throughout and managed to find us the home we were looking for. A great experience and a wonderful outcome. Many thanks.

  • Andrew Howden

Janet and her team have been great. Janet helped us find a great investment property in 2016 which we are very happy with. And her team have been great in managing the property for us ever since. All communication has been fast and accurate, and Janet keeps us updated on the market. Highly recommended.

  • Roslyn Chandler

  • David Ellis

Janet acted for me in searching for and bidding on a Melbourne property in 2008. Her support was vital in my finding the right property. She was patient and supportive without being pushy. She has a deep knowledge of the market and selling agents. I would happily recommend her services.

  • Shaun Curtis

I rented a beautiful property from Janet Spencer for many years and I have to honestly say as an agent they were always so accommodating and prompt when I needed anything regarding maintenance to the property. Everyone who has worked at Buyers solutions were humble to deal with.
