Quick Answer
Buyers Club (buyersclub.com.au) is a property investment buyers agency with offices in Sydney and Melbourne. It helps investors buy established homes, new builds and commercial property using what it calls the AMAP Method. It says it charges a single flat fee per property, paid by the client, but it doesn’t publish the amount. Its site also says it secures rebates from developers for members. Its public review ratings are strong. Before you sign, get the fee in writing and ask exactly what, if anything, Buyers Club or anyone it refers you to receives from a developer or builder.

What Does Buyers Club Do?
Buyers Club describes itself as a buyers agency for investors. Its listed services include:
- Investment strategy and research
- Buying established property
- Buying new builds
- Buying commercial property
- Ongoing portfolio reviews after settlement
It says its AMAP Method uses a 50-point data check to choose locations and properties.
How Much Does Buyers Club Cost?
As at 4 October 2026, Buyers Club doesn’t publish its fee. Its guide to how buyers agents work says it charges “a single flat fee per property, paid by the client only”. It says the fee is confirmed in writing at your strategy session before you engage, and covers strategy through to ongoing reviews. Legal fees, inspections, insurance and stamp duty are extra.
A flat fee is a reasonable structure, because it doesn’t rise with the price you pay. Ask for the dollar amount, when it’s payable, and whether any part is refundable if you don’t buy.
How Does Buyers Club Make Money?
On its own description, from the flat fee you pay. But its About page also says it secures “exclusive $20,000 rebates” directly from developers for members.
That’s the part worth asking about. When a developer offers a rebate through a buyers agency, ask:
- Is the rebate paid to you in full, and how is it paid: off the price, at settlement, or as cash?
- Does the developer pay Buyers Club, or anyone connected to it, anything as well?
- Is the property priced the same as it would be without the rebate?
From the developer side of house and land, a rebate only helps you if the starting price is fair. A developer can fund a rebate by building it into the price. NSW Government guidance says buyer’s agents must disclose any rebates, discounts, commissions or other benefits they receive from third parties, so ask for that disclosure in writing.
Is Buyers Club a Buyer’s Agent?
Yes, it describes itself as a buyers agency. A buyer’s agent is a licensed real estate agent engaged by the buyer under a written agreement. Check the licence of the agent handling your purchase on the public register in the state where you’re buying.
Buyers Club Pros and Cons
Pros
- Strong public ratings: Birdeye shows 4.9 out of 5 across about 580 Google and Facebook reviews
- States a flat, client-paid fee, confirmed in writing before you engage
- Covers established, new and commercial property, not just one product
- Offices in Sydney and Melbourne
Cons
- The fee isn’t published, so you can’t compare costs before a strategy session
- Developer rebates are part of the offer, so you need to check the starting price carefully
- Its own client figures vary between pages
- No financial services or credit licence, so finance and strategy advice beyond property comes from referrals
Buyers Club Review Ratings
Google and Facebook reviews, as aggregated by Birdeye, average 4.9 out of 5 from about 580 reviews.
Trustpilot shows 4.1 out of 5 from 14 reviews, with most reviews 5 stars and a small number 1 star.
Ratings are a useful signal, but they don’t tell you whether a specific property is fairly priced. Check that separately.

Buyers Club vs REIN
Buyers Club is a buyers agency that finds and buys investment property for you across several property types.
REIN is a buyer-only house and land advocate, and we focus only on house and land packages. We review a package you’ve been shown, show you the builder commission built into the price, and rebate 100% (excluding GST) of that commission to you. A REIN service fee applies, and the rebate typically covers the fee and more.
If you want an agent to research the market and buy for you, a buyers agency is the kind of service that fits. If someone has put a house and land package in front of you, that’s where REIN fits.
