We exist for you.
What we do
BuyWise specialises in transaction advisory services, we help our clients make wise decisions when buying property. BuyWise looks at property from a totally different angle, single minded in our pursuit of wise investments for the long term rather than speculation and short term thinking.
We have often heard people say “this will be our home, so it doesn’t matter if it’s a good investment.” This is a big mistake and one we want to help prevent. Owner occupied wealth represents the foundation of most people’s success and it is the financial cornerstone on which to build a life. We believe that if you make wise decisions today, you don’t have to worry about tomorrow.
We are not interested in greed. We are interested in balance, and not just balancing risks and returns or capital growth and yield; but balancing everything that matters such as, time cost, opportunity cost, family sacrifice and stress.
We are experts in all property types (residential, commercial, industrial), but our real passion is owner occupied residential property. We would love to help you find your next home.
If you’re buying property, any property - we can help.

Who we are
Josh Coleman
Josh founded BuyWise in 2020 after years of planning while working with major institutions. He has a unique skill set gained from multi-disciplinary tertiary education and experience in both the Property and Finance sectors. Over the last 10 years, Josh has built a successful career as a Generalist Property Valuer, Business Banking Manager, Buyers Advocate and Development Manager. The pinnacle of his career (until now) was being promoted to the Head of Buyers Advocacy - Australia with JLL, Australia’s largest property services firm.
Josh has a happy and relaxed disposition, and he doesn’t take himself too seriously (<—— it was sunny if you can’t tell). He’s a people person and has a knack for simplifying the complex with honesty and a smile. Naturally, he prefers spending time speaking with clients rather than buried in his keyboard writing overly complicated reports that few really understand.
Josh guides BuyWise clients through the property acquisition process by firstly taking the time to understand their needs beyond the obvious. Along the way, he ensures understanding at every turn to not only teach wise principals but provide peace of mind to his clients.
Underneath it all, Josh is a family man. He and his wife Nicole recently welcomed their first son, Benjamin into the world.
