Meet the founder - Simon Loo
Simon Loo leads House Finder with a clear mission; helping investors purchase properties with instant equity and long-term capital growth. With years of experience sourcing genuine off-market opportunities, Simon and his team consistently secure assets around 20% below market value in Australia’s capital cities.
This short video shares insights into the House Finder investment process, how we identify undervalued assets, and the results achieved for clients. His data-driven, negotiation-focused approach delivers strong capital growth and cash flow for investors, building a secure path to financial freedom.
From humble beginnings and entering the workforce at an early age, Simon had always dreamt of creating enough passive income to quit his 9-5 job. Using property as his path, he achieved $100,000 a year of passive income within just 7 years of buying his first property, all whilst only earning approx.$100,000 per annum in his day job.
Simon soon became sought after on property podcasts and various media outlets, as well as many would-be property investors, to help educate/mentor others to achieve passive income as well. Combined with his well established talent and passion for negotiating the very best off market/below market value deals, House Finder was born!

Simon and his team were a pleasure to work with for my first investment property. They were able find me a great deal in the time constraint I had, answered all my questions and ensured a smooth process throughout. I highly recommend House Finder.
Simon and his team are super professional and efficient. We’ve bought 3 interstate investment properties with them so far and each one was a smooth and easy process and great deals.
Thanks to Simon, Ben and the team who made my investment journey so easy and manageable. We never felt pressured, and were given the opportunity to do our own diligence. They also recommended the solicitor and property manager. We would highly recommend Simon, Ben and the team!
Simon and his team were fantastic to deal with. The process was seamless and very easy. Best of all, Simon got us a property that increased nearly 20% in just 8 months. I will surely be coming back for another purchase with his team. Highly recommend it!
Simon provided excellent service and went about and beyond for our recent purchase in SE Qld. I’m quite methodical and did my own due diligence and the numbers and values he was providing stacked up. It was worth the experience as it provided valuable learnings and education for future purchases and the value comes through Simon’s knowledge and local networking/connections. Thanks again Simon.
I’ve recently used Simon Loo from House Finder for the purchase of an investment property in Logan City Council. I have used other Buyers Agents in the past but Simon is cut from a different cloth. Overall I have found Simon to be a really genuine and down to earth person. He is easy to talk to, always accessible and happy to answer any questions and share as much info as possible. He knows the Logan area very well, and is highly knowledgeable about growing a portfolio being an investor himself. We’ve already engaged him to start looking for our next one and as such, I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone looking for a Buyers Agent.

A buyer’s agent cannot guarantee a lower purchase price, but they are skilled negotiators with insider knowledge of the market. By leveraging their expertise, buyer’s agents identify opportunities to secure properties at below-market value, saving you money. Their ability to access off-market properties further increases the chances of finding the right home at a competitive price.
Buyer’s agents tap into their extensive network of real estate agents, private sellers, and industry contacts to uncover off-market properties. These connections often provide early access to properties not yet advertised publicly. Their proactive approach ensures clients gain exclusive opportunities in highly sought-after areas before the competition even knows the property exists.
An investment buyers agent is a licensed professional who specialises exclusively in searching for, evaluating, and negotiating the purchase of investment properties on behalf of an investor. Unlike a traditional buyers agent, our focus is purely on properties with strong capital growth potential and high rental yields, not on finding a client’s dream home. We use a data-driven approach to secure assets that align with your financial goals.
We achieve this through our extensive network and deep market knowledge, which gives us access to a large volume of genuine off-market properties. These are properties not advertised to the public, often from motivated sellers. Our strong relationships with real estate agents and a reputation for closing deals efficiently mean we are often the first to know about these opportunities. We then use independent bank valuations to verify the market price and our expert negotiation skills to secure the asset significantly below that valuation.
Off-market properties are assets sold without public advertising. They are valuable to investors because there is significantly less competition, which creates a better environment for negotiation. This often allows us to purchase properties below market value, securing instant equity for our clients. Accessing these deals requires a strong network and a proactive sourcing strategy, which is a core part of the service a specialist investment buyers agent provides.
The timeframe varies depending on your requirements, the market conditions, and property availability. On average, it takes 6 to 12 weeks to secure a property with a buyer’s agent. However, their market expertise and access to off-market properties can expedite the process significantly for well-defined criteria.
Your level of involvement depends on your preference. Buyer’s agents handle the heavy lifting—property searches, inspections, negotiations, and due diligence—allowing you to focus on other priorities. You’ll stay informed at every stage and be consulted on key decisions to ensure the property aligns with your goals.
While buyer’s agents don’t provide legal or financial services directly, they collaborate with trusted solicitors, conveyancers, and mortgage brokers to guide you through these critical aspects. Their recommendations ensure you have access to reliable professionals who streamline the buying process.
Buyer’s agents evaluate properties based on location, price, growth potential, condition, and alignment with your goals. They consider zoning, nearby amenities, infrastructure, and future market trends. For investors, factors like rental yield and long-term appreciation play a significant role in the assessment.
Aside from the buyer’s agent fee, you may encounter costs such as stamp duty, legal fees, building and pest inspections, and loan application fees. These are standard expenses associated with property transactions. Your buyer’s agent will discuss these upfront to help you budget effectively.
We focus on Australia’s major capital city markets, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide. Our team conducts continuous research into these markets to identify suburbs with strong growth drivers, such as infrastructure development, population growth, and economic stability. Our on-the-ground presence in these cities ensures we have the local expertise to secure the best investment opportunities for our clients.
Absolutely. A significant portion of our clients are interstate investors looking to diversify their property portfolio outside of their home state. We act as your expert representative on the ground, handling every aspect of the acquisition process from sourcing and inspection to negotiation and settlement coordination. Our detailed reporting, including comprehensive videos and photos, ensures you can invest with complete confidence from anywhere in Australia.
Our due diligence is extremely thorough. It starts with a market analysis of the location and its growth potential. For the property itself, our own team conducts an initial inspection, providing over 100 photos and videos focusing on any potential defects. We review comparable sales and obtain independent bank valuations to confirm the purchase price offers instant equity. Finally, we coordinate professional building and pest inspections to ensure there are no hidden issues before you commit to the purchase.
