At Sarah Kaye & Co., we’re not just buyer’s agents—we’re strategic property advisors first. We’re redefining what it means to be buyers agents—placing sophisticated advisory expertise and strategic insight at the core of every property search. Unlike typical agents who rely solely on knowledge of real estate regulations, we leverage decades of high-level business advisory experience, blending analytical rigour and strategic foresight to guide discerning property buyers through critical decisions.
Our distinct approach combines the strategic depth of co-founder Mike, who has advised global CEOs and senior executives on complex investment decisions, with Sarah’s extensive real-world expertise in real estate sales which provides invaluable insight into market tactics, enabling us to negotiate powerfully and effectively level the playing field for our clients.
With unmatched formal qualifications—including property law, valuation, economics, and engineering from UNSW—and governance accreditation from the Australian Institute of Company Directors (GAICD), our credentials uniquely position us within the industry. Further bolstered by our respected affiliations with REBAA and REINSW, our professionalism and commitment to excellence set us apart from both inexperienced newcomers and long-established agents resistant to innovation.
Above all, we are defined by absolute trust and transparency. At Sarah Kaye & Co., we won’t hesitate to recommend walking away from unsuitable properties. No jargon, no inflated promises—just honest, intelligent guidance tailored solely to your best interests.
Who We Help:
- Owner-occupiers buying their dream home
- Upsizers, downsizers, and relocating families
- Professionals and executives seeking smart investments
- Time-poor buyers needing certainty, speed, and guidance
- Interstate and expat buyers wanting eyes and ears on the ground
What Makes Us Different:
1. Deep Advisory Background
Unlike most buyers’ agents, we combine two very different – yet highly complementary – backgrounds. Mike, our co-founder, has spent over 20 years advising CEOs, boards, and senior leaders on complex investment decisions. He brings that same strategic rigour and risk awareness to every property search.
Sarah, who founded the business, has extensive hands-on experience as a former real estate sales agent – meaning we understand exactly how selling agents operate and how to level the playing field for our clients. Together, we provide a unique combination of advisory precision and real-world property expertise.
2. Unmatched Qualifications
With formal university qualifications in town planning, valuation, property law, economics, land information systems and engineering (Honours and Masters), our insights go far beyond the surface. You’ll understand not just what to buy — but why.
3. Local Experience You Can Trust
We’ve lived on the Northern Beaches and North Shore for over two decades. We don’t just know the streets — we know the schools, the traffic patterns, the flood zones, the hidden gems, and the growth potential.
4. Personal, Principal-Led Service
You’ll always work directly with one of our directors from start to finish. While we have a capable team supporting in the background, we don’t delegate the important stuff — strategy, communication, and negotiation stay in our hands.
5. Impartial and Independent
We never accept kickbacks or referral fees. We’re proudly independent, and that means we’re accountable only to you.
Our Services:
- Full-service property search and acquisition
- Appraise and negotiate-only support
- Auction bidding and representation
- Off-market property access and advice
- Property investment guidance
We also assist with local referrals — from conveyancers and building inspectors to mortgage brokers, tradesmen and more — to help make your buying journey as smooth as possible.
You’re in safe hands with the Sarah Kaye & Co team.
