“It’s all about relationships and people skills. You’re always negotiating and inside a deal. That’s been really helpful with the buyer’s agent space.”

Damien’s background includes competitive bodybuilding, working as a chef, and building a hospitality empire where he bought and sold over 15 businesses before starting Buyers First. He now focuses on Sydney’s Inner West, where he secures off-market properties for frustrated buyers in a hot market.

“I’ve been able to develop some really good agent relationships. We do content together with key agents in Inner West and meet weekly to chat about the market.”

His approach centres on staying informed about market movements and leveraging strong agent relationships.

“Being able to commit to property one hundred percent has been amazing. If you deep dive and immerse yourself, you learn faster and get better at it.”

Looking ahead, Damien aims to expand his Inner West market presence while building his business.

“You have to adapt as the market changes and be open-minded on trying new ways to ensure you’re still getting results.”
