Amanda Conroy
Amanda came into buyers agency from development. Her career began in senior corporate strategy roles, including with L'Oréal, before she moved into property development and investment across Australia and internationally.
She has built, subdivided, developed, lived in and held property across multiple markets. That is a different apprenticeship from transacting it, and it shows at due diligence and at negotiation, where the risk a buyer is actually carrying has to be read off the documents rather than taken on trust.
Amanda relocated to Noosa herself and is building her own home in Sunshine Beach. She navigated the same contract law differences and market opacity that interstate buyers face without representation, which shapes how Vendee approaches every interstate engagement.

Buyers Agent
Sunshine Coast
Renovation, value-add and resale positioning
Based in Tewantin
Jo Yates
Jo covers the Sunshine Coast for Vendee. She has spent fifteen years as a property developer across New South Wales and Queensland, sourcing, appraising and developing units and houses for resale.
The useful part is what that work required. Securing property below market value, then running the project: scope, contractors, budget and programme, through to sale. She has been on the buying side of that negotiation and the paying side of that build, repeatedly, with her own money at risk.
So Jo prices the renovation before the offer goes in. What the fix costs, and what that spend returns, is settled at inspection rather than discovered after settlement. Renovation scope, design correction and resale positioning come back as numbers rather than as opinion.
Alongside that she has run production teams and an agency, which is where the discipline comes from. Deadlines, budgets and other people's money, delivered on schedule. An acquisition is a project, and it either runs to a programme or it drifts.
"Our agent Jo Yates saved us a huge amount of time and stress. We were exhausted and overwhelmed from running around to multiple open homes, only to find properties that didn't match the description or that were already under contract. Jo inspected properties on our behalf and sent thorough honest summaries, walking us through the pros and cons of each. Her guidance made a difficult process feel manageable, and we honestly believe we would still be looking if it weren't for her."
"I recently engaged Vendee to acquire an investment property and couldn't be happier with the service and outcome. Jo's knowledge along with attention to detail finding the right property overall made the process stress free and enjoyable."
Transaction administration
Inspection and search coordination
Ednalyn Cuervo
Edna runs the file. Search set-up, inspection scheduling, document control, the reporting cadence, and the follow-through on the small items that decide whether an acquisition runs to time or drifts.
She chases the agent before Amanda has to ask, and flags every critical date to the client and to Amanda ahead of when it falls due.
One side of the transaction. Yours.
Vendee takes no vendor commissions and does not act for both sides. Every person on this page is paid by the buyer, which is the only structure under which forensic due diligence can be honest about what it finds.
