WHY USE A BUYER ADVISOR?
-
Trusted agent relationships:
Years of working alongside Melbourne's leading selling agents means we understand how they operate and are well-positioned within their networks.
-
Access to off-market opportunities:
Many of Melbourne's finest homes are sold quietly. Our connections open doors to properties you'd otherwise never know about.
-
Recognising quality real estate:
We know what defines a genuinely good home, and just as importantly, which compromises aren't worth making.
-
Informed, considered decisions:
Every property is backed by thorough research, market context, and clear insight, so you're never relying on guesswork.
-
Expert negotiation:
Whether at auction, expression of interest (EOI) or behind closed doors, we negotiate with composure, strategy, and a deep understanding of the market.
-
Measured approach to a personal decision:
Buying a home is personal. Our role is to bring clarity and calm to a process that's often anything but.
-
Saving you time and money:
We take care of the searching, inspecting, and shortlisting, and apply sharp market knowledge to ensure your favoured outcome.
Dave Oster
Director + Buyers Agent
Dave Oster has spent 32 years in real estate, including owning his own agency in Melbourne's eastern suburbs. That depth of experience gives him something most buyer advocates simply don't have: a firsthand understanding of how property is bought, sold and won. For someone who has always been driven by helping people, founding Oster & Co was the obvious next step.
That experience means he sees the full picture - how properties are valued, how campaigns are crafted, and exactly where the leverage sits in any negotiation. Buyers who work with Dave don't just get representation; they get an insider.
Working across Melbourne's inner suburbs, Dave takes the time to understand what each client is genuinely looking for, keeps them informed and well-prepared at every step, and draws on decades of auction experience to make sure they're in the strongest possible position when it matters most.
People and personal growth sit at the heart of everything he does. A father of two with a love of fitness and travel, he brings that same drive and dedication to every client he works with at Oster & Co.
Buyer - South Yarra
"Dave was patient and extremely honest - bluntly advised me to walk away multiple times when it wasn’t right, which ultimately gave me the confidence to trust in him when he found the right one. He helped me narrow down what was important to me and then bought me a home in an uncompetitive process that ticked all my boxes."
Vendor - Caufield
"Dave's expertise and support were invaluable throughout the whole process of selling my mother's home. In a tricky market and at a stressful time, he provided sound advice and guidance. We had a great result and he was an absolute pleasure to work with."
Buyer - Toorak
"Dave went over and above throughout our property search. He was responsive, pragmatic, and consistently had our best interests front of mind. His guidance on pricing, negotiations, and due diligence added real clarity at each step, and he made a complex process feel structured and manageable. Highly recommend".
