Scott's Business Principle
“When you are sick you go to a doctor... When buying a house you come to property searchers, we look after you exclusively.”
Introducing Scott McGeever
As the Co-founder and Director it gives me great pleasure to introduce myself and the Property Searchers team.
I firmly believe that the best results are achieved when you surround yourself with, positive, energetic and highly capably people, and the team at Property Searchers meets these requirements and more.
I have a strong respect for the property sector and throughout my 20 years of working within the industry, I have made it my personal business to remain current and have welcomed many leadership roles.
Through the vice President and Presidency roles of the Real Estate Buyers Agents Association of Australia (REBAA), and now as the elected Queensland State Representative, I have played an active role in promoting public awareness about the role of buyers’ agents. I have also lobbied government about tightening consumer protection laws and regulating the industry, something which I continue to be involved in on an ongoing basis at both a state and national level.
My experience as a Certified Practising Valuer has served me well when determining the ‘right’ purchase price a client should pay for a property. We regularly save or make thousands and tens of thousands of dollars for our clients. Over the years I have witnessed the ‘tricks of the trade’ which mitigate risk for and on behalf of all of our valued clients.
I value each and every client’s association with Property Searchers and will make it my business to ensure you always... Feel Right at Home.

Carolyn's Business Principle
“I enjoy helping people and absolutely love my job... I think if enthusiasm, understanding and knowledge count in the property market, then by working together, we’ll get a great result for you.”
Introducing Carolyn Campbell
Carolyn joined Property Searchers in early 2002 and it quickly became apparent that she is a natural people person, highly suited to working on many levels for her clients seeking properties, whether as an owner occupier or an investor. Carolyn's enthusiasm and thirst for knowledge was awarded with her elevation to senior buyers' agent and negotiator, then General Manager overseeing the daily coordination of searching for our clients.
Recent client feedback regarding Carolyn stated that: “Trust is very important... Carolyn was awesome right throughout the process and we trusted her ability to give us an expert valuation and sound advice.” Michael H. Rio Tinto Australia recently transferred to Brisbane.
This feedback on Carolyn is common and pays testament to the honesty, integrity and commitment Carolyn displays to ‘the cause’ of each of her clients. As a searcher Carolyn is excellent, as a negotiator Carolyn is superb. She has an immense practical knowledge and experience of valuation most valuers struggle with.
The skills Carolyn processes are vital to the successful completion of the Property Searchers Service Path process which is adopted to meet the needs of each client. There are few better operators than Carolyn; you’ll really enjoy working with her.
