Do You Need Us?

We act only for buyers. We specialise in finding and buying real estate and investment properties at the upper end of the market. Increasingly, those are properties agents don't see. "Because we find houses you can’t. Because we save money you can’t. Because we find faults you won’t." [more...]

The secret world of off-market sales ...

Sometimes it's a margin call or a divorce. Sometimes it's people who just don't want crowds traipsing through their houses. The secret world of off-market sales. At the top end, it typically starts with an agent's quiet call to us. It's all off-the-record. [more...]

What happens?

We start with you telling us every last thing that you can about the way you live, where you want to live, the architectural styles that attract you, the schools you need, the services you need, the... And how much you want to spend. [more...]

What we cost

We will save you more than we cost you. If we do not succeed, there is no charge. "No success? No fee. But we will succeed; and we will save your time, money and peace of mind." [more...]

Right house, right price

We don't cover just a handful of agents, we cover them all. We find many properties before real estate agents list them and many that agents never hear about. "You don't spend days hunting through real estate ads and weekends looking at properties you don't want. You're not dragged along to auctions by agents who suggest prices that are not realistic." [more...]

On-line Property Search

A questionnaire to help you start your property search on-line. "You can spend 10-15 minutes or more on this questionnaire. While it is long, the more detail you can give us, the more time we'll save later." [more...]

Our Town: Australia

We act as buyers' agents for clients throughout Australia. "We've made headlines in Sydney (and prompted a change in the law in NSW), we've spotted dummy bidders and gazumping and agents' games everywhere in this great land." [more...]

Expat/overseas clients

We have acted as buyer advocates for many overseas clients, for many years. "We'll inspect properties and provide you with reports and photos by email. Not just the stunning sunsets; shots of any faults we find, too. When your plane does land, we'll visit the properties on the short-list, then negotiate the purchase or bid at auction." [more...]

About Morrell and Koren

We were Australia's first specialist buyer advocates. We are clearly its most successful. At the top end, there is no-one else. "Some hard thinking later, Morrell and Koren decided that if they were to properly represent buyers, that's all they should do." [more...]

War Stories

Tales from the front lines during some memorable auctions and negotiations. "The auction got underway. Seemed to us we were the only genuine bidders. Which prompted one of our more widely reported interjections: 'Which one of The Three Stooges am I bidding against? Larry, Curly or Mo?' " [more...]

News archive ...

A Google search will show you how often we make news (mostly for tripping up agents). You'll find some of those items here. "At a recent auction in Sydney, Mr Morrell snatched a Birchgrove property ... for $225,000 under its reserve. 'They had no idea what hit them,' Mr Morrell told The Australian Financial Review." [more...]

Order a book or brochure

The brochure is free. The book is priceless. "The Estate Agent's Nightmare. A brochure which outlines why Morrell and Koren does what we do; and how we do it so well." [more...]

Why Morrell and Koren?

Our track record suggests that, if you're looking in the higher price ranges, no other buyers' agents come close. We find houses where others can't, we succeed in negotiations when others don't. We were Australia's first buyers' advocates. We've been doing it longer. We know more. And it shows. And that's just the start of our story.

Buyers' Agents?
or Buyers' Advocates?

If you're in Melbourne, you probably know us as buyer or buyers' advocates. In Sydney and points north, we're more likely to be known as buyer or buyers' agents. Either way, we're here to help you find and purchase the home that's right for you. Because we know what's out there. And we know how to see through real estate agents. And we work very, very hard to understand exactly what you need.
