The YPS Difference
A buyer's agent in Adelaide who works exclusively for you, not the seller
When you sell a property, the agent works for the vendor and is focused on achieving the highest possible price. Most buyers walk into that contest with no professional in their corner. Your Property Strategy exists to change that. We work only for buyers, never vendors, with your interests as our sole priority.
As property owners and investors ourselves, we know buying property is never one size fits all. It starts with understanding your circumstances, priorities and long term goals, and we stay beside you from first brief to settlement.
Why choose us
What you get when you work with us
We represent buyers only, from your first brief through to settlement day.
Fixed Fee, No Surprises
One transparent fee agreed upfront. Many buyer's agents charge a percentage of the purchase price, but we don't believe your agent should get paid more when you pay more. A fixed fee means our only incentive is getting you the best possible price.
Experienced and Local
David has been buying property in Adelaide since 2016 and knows the market street by street. From the northern growth corridors to the southern suburbs, inner Adelaide and the Hills, this is local knowledge you cannot get from a listing site.
Your Whole Property Network
When you work with Your Property Strategy, you gain access to a trusted network of brokers, conveyancers, accountants, property managers and building inspectors. Vetted professionals, ready when you need them.
REISA Buyer's Agent of the Year Finalist
David was named a finalist for Buyer's Agent of the Year at the REISA Awards for Excellence, one of the most prestigious industry recognitions in South Australian real estate.
What we do
Buyer's Agent Services across Adelaide
Most clients engage us for a full search, from brief to settlement, on one fixed fee agreed before we start. You can also take individual services on their own. Here is what we do, and who we do it for.
Market Research
Before you commit, know exactly what you are buying into. We analyse the council, the suburb and the street on real data, so your decision rests on evidence rather than a hunch.
Seen a property you love with no price guide? We appraise it independently, build an offer strategy for that specific property, and negotiate entirely on your behalf.
Independent expert appraisals. Don’t rely on price guides.
Offer strategies that are developed for individual properties
Expert negotiation, including proxy bidding at auction
Access properties that never reach Domain or realestate.com.au. We work directly through Adelaide agents to find unlisted homes that fit what you are actually looking for.
Sourced directly through our Adelaide agent network
Buying for returns rather than to live in. We build the strategy around your goal and your timeframe, and work alongside the professionals who already advise you on it.
We work alongside your accountant and financial planner
Buying in Adelaide from Sydney, Melbourne or anywhere else. We are your eyes on the ground, so you never have to buy a property you have only seen in photos.
Local Adelaide expertise, on the ground for you
Inspections on your behalf, with video and photos
Diversify your portfolio with South Australian property
A clear, structured process from your first conversation to collecting the keys and beyond.

If anyone is thinking of engaging the services of a Buyer's Agent, then look no further than David Ronson. From the very start, David's communication and commitment to us being able to purchase our first home was truly outstanding. In what can be a daunting and overwhelming experience, it is invaluable to have someone like David answering every question and following up with detailed information. Thank you so much David, for helping us find our home in less than two months.

Highly recommend. We have used Buyer's Agents before, and if you're considering one, David's service was outstanding and more than paid for itself. He consistently provided a solid stream of new properties every week, both on and off market. When our preferred property went to auction, his coaching and advice helped us secure it under reserve, which we were not expecting. The whole process felt smooth, with knowledgeable guidance and zero pressure.

David helped me every step of the way. He was supportive and reliable. Responded to every question I had promptly and efficiently. He found a home for me and my sons within 3 weeks! He helped me achieve my dream of re entering the property market after 2 years of trying on my own. He way exceeded my expectations. I cannot recommend his services enough.

We recently purchased our forever home, and we could not have done it without David. From our very first phone consultation, it was evident David had a wealth of knowledge, and he helped us every step of the way, right down to attending the auction. He was always happy to answer all our questions and gave us so much insight to each property presented to us. We would highly recommend him.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions Adelaide Buyer's Agent
A buyer's agent searches, evaluates and negotiates property exclusively on behalf of the buyer. Unlike a selling agent who represents the vendor, we work only for you. We access on market and off market listings, conduct inspections, analyse comparable sales, and negotiate the best possible price and terms on your behalf.
Your Property Strategy charges a fixed fee agreed transparently before engagement rather than a percentage of the purchase price. This means our fee stays the same whether we find you a $500k or $1.1M property. A non-refundable engagement fee is payable upfront to begin your exclusive search.
Off market properties are homes for sale that haven't been listed on Domain or realestate.com.au. We find them by maintaining active relationships with principals and agents across Adelaide enabling us to hear about properties before they're advertised.
Yes. First home buyers often benefit most from a buyer's agent because the process is unfamiliar. We guide you through every step what to look for, what to avoid, and how to understand your contract so you enter the Adelaide market with full confidence.
Absolutely. We assess each property from an investment lens rental yield, vacancy rates, capital growth outlook, and suburb demographics. We are particularly experienced in Adelaide's northern growth corridors and southern suburbs which offer strong rental demand relative to price.
Yes. Your Property Strategy operates under South Australian real estate law, Licence RLA 297515. We hold professional indemnity insurance and operate in full compliance with SA consumer protection requirements for buyer's agencies.
We cover all of Greater Adelaide from the northern growth suburbs (Andrews Farm, Craigmore, Blakeview), through the north east (Tea Tree Gully, Golden Grove, Modbury), inner Adelaide, the western beaches, the southern suburbs (Morphett Vale, Woodcroft, Reynella, Hallett Cove) and the Adelaide Hills.
Yes. Auction bidding is one of our most valuable services. Auctions are high pressure and fast moving. Emotion can cost buyers tens of thousands of dollars. We bid strategically on your behalf within a pre agreed limit, using knowledge of agent tactics and competing bidder behaviour to give you the best chance of winning at the right price.
A real estate agent is engaged by the vendor to achieve the highest possible sale price. A buyer's agent is engaged exclusively by the buyer to find the best property at the best price. The distinction is who they represent. Your Property Strategy represents only buyers, never vendors.
Not necessarily, but our pricing and negotiation service is available for buyers who have found a property and want independent expert assessment before committing. We can assess market value, review comparable sales, identify red flags, advise on offer structure, and negotiate on your behalf even when you found the property yourself.

About us
About Your Property Strategy
David Ronson
Founder and Buyer's Agent
"I'm passionate about helping buyers achieve their dream, whether that's stepping into the market for the first time or growing a property portfolio. Everyone deserves an expert who's entirely on their side."
Built on a simple belief: buyers deserve better
Every seller has an agent in their corner. Most buyers don't, leaving them at a disadvantage before negotiations even begin. David founded Your Property Strategy in 2016 to even the playing field and give buyers a true expert entirely on their side. We act for buyers only, never vendors.
Our fixed fee model means we earn the same whatever you pay, so there is no incentive to push you higher. We work by exclusive appointment, one brief at a time, with an off market network across Greater Adelaide that surfaces homes buyers never see online.
Every engagement is personal. You work directly with our team from the first brief through to settlement day, never a call centre, never a junior agent. Straight answers, independent advice, and a team that is entirely on your side.
