Queensland buyers agency · Investors welcome from anywhere
A Queensland-based buyers agency for Australians who treat property as a multi-decade decision. We start with the data, narrow to two or three suburbs, and only then look at houses. One flat fee, agreed in writing, paid only by you.
Meet Coppick
I grew up on the Gold Coast, wondering why two suburbs forty minutes apart could feel like different worlds. Thirty years on, answering that question properly is my whole job. The video is the short version — the full story is here.
How it works
A predictable process where you always know what's next, what it costs, and what we're working on. Fifteen minutes to start. Walk away if it isn't a fit.
Fifteen minutes. We listen to where you're at, ask two or three questions, and tell you honestly whether property is the right move — and whether Coppick is the right help for what you're trying to do.
Borrowing capacity, suburb shortlist, full cost modelling on real candidate properties. You see every number, including the ones that don't flatter the deal.
We negotiate from a position of knowledge, coordinate with your broker and conveyancer, and walk you through to keys in hand. Or we walk you away from it.
Who we work with
The questions are different but the answer comes from the same place: the data, the strategy, the structure. We do the same work, regardless of where you are on the journey.
First-time buyer
Conflicting opinions from agents, family, podcasts, and the property ads in your feed. You want a clear-headed walkthrough of borrowing capacity, what a "good deal" actually looks like, and whether your timing is right. We start with the data, not the listings.
Scaling investor
You already understand yields, gearing, and the dangers of a poor first purchase. What you want is independent due diligence, a defensible price band on a specific property, and a structure that doesn't trap you on the next purchase. We work the numbers and stress-test them with you.
Free tools
Two calculators we built for our own use. State-specific stamp duty, full cashflow modelling, rate stress-tests, and a ten-year projection. No sign-up, no email gate.
Tool · Free
Cashflow, yield, rate stress-test, ten-year projection. Full analysis of any Australian property — every state and territory.
Tool · Free
All eight states. First home buyer concessions, foreign buyer surcharges, side-by-side state comparison — in one view.
The philosophy
The data does the work. We sit with you while it talks.
— Ryan Coppick
Most property advice you'll meet is paid for by someone other than you. That's not a moral failing — it's just incentive design. The advice tilts in the direction of the cheque.
I'm paid only by you. The fee is fixed, in writing, before any work begins. No commissions, no kickbacks, no surprises — paid by you, beholden to no one. That's the entire model, and it's why the numbers can be honest.
If a deal doesn't work, I say so. If your timing is wrong, I say so. If you're better off in cash for another year, I say that too. The only thing I sell is the analysis.

In their words
Coppick is new — so rather than dress that up, here is exactly what it is: honest reviews from people who have had a conversation with me. Some were told to go and talk to a broker first. That is the job too.
“Ryan offered me advice about borrowing power and the importance of speaking with a mortgage broker also. He was honest and gave clear answers to my questions around buying a property. I have a few steps to take for myself in the short term but I will definitely reach out to Ryan to help me with the process in the near future.”

“I reached out to Ryan for some advice on purchasing a home, he was full of so much knowledge and I found that so helpful. After a good chat about my goals he referred me onto a broker. When I am ready to purchase Ryan and I will be back in touch to work together on making my goals become reality.”

“Coppick Property Advisory helped me to make an informed decision on an area to look for my next investment. His knowledge of the market is very good and I have found him to be very helpful in advising me on where I should buy next.”

Every review above describes a conversation, not a completed purchase — because that is what has happened so far. When clients settle, their words will sit here too, and they will say so plainly.
From the professionals I work alongside
Buyers agents are easy to praise and hard to verify. So here are three professionals who have seen how this business actually runs — the solicitor who went through the engagement letter, the client documents and the compliance side before Coppick had taken on a single client; the mortgage broker who works alongside me on the finance; and the accountant whose firm acts for buyers agents across the country, so has a fair basis for comparison.
“We have dealt with Ryan and consider that he has a number of amazing qualities that set him apart from other buyer’s agents that we interact with. He has a strategic and methodical way of working — by walking clients through a clear step by step process that achieves the best outcomes for each client’s individual circumstances. On top of that, he won’t touch commissions or kickbacks from anyone, which says a lot about how ethical and trustworthy his advice really is. We have been involved with Ryan from the outset of his business and resonate with the reasons why he set up Coppick Property Advisory in the first place — being a client focused framework that works best for their personal circumstances.”

“Through working with Ryan, both as his mortgage broker and in our professional referral relationship, I’ve come to appreciate his honest, thoughtful and approachable manner. He takes the time to listen, understands that buying a property is a significant decision, and is committed to supporting the buyer throughout the process. We share a similar approach to looking after clients: clear communication, practical guidance, and no pressure. There are no referral fees paid in either direction, so when we connect clients, it’s because we believe they’ll benefit from the support. That’s a relationship I value and feel comfortable putting my name behind.”

“Praedium Partners acts for a number of buyers agents around the country, so we see how they tend to operate. Ryan is one of the few who sorted out the unglamorous parts of the business — structure, registrations, getting advice early — before he took anyone on rather than after a problem turned up.”
“He charges a flat fee, works the buyer’s side only, and takes no commissions and no referral fees in either direction. That last part matters more than people realise, because it is usually where the conflicts come from. He is someone I am comfortable keeping in mind for our own clients.”

None of the three is a client, and no money moves in either direction for referrals — Coppick pays nothing for one and accepts nothing for one. Andrew reviewed the documents behind this business before it took on anyone. Marie is my own mortgage broker as well as a two-way referral relationship, and she makes the no-fee point herself above. Praedium Partners are my own accountants, and act for a number of buyers agencies around the country.
Common questions
Two short guides that explain how the buying side actually works: The list price isn't the sale price — where to find what Queensland homes actually sold for — and Buyers agent vs selling agent — who is actually working for you at the open home.
