It means a lot when clients refer the people they care about. That’s how we know we’re on the right track. Take a look at what they’ve had to say.
I’ve known Shane for over 30 years, and he’s always been someone you can count on. Laid-back, clever, and just great at making things happen. These days, he’s my first call for anything property-related — he’s helped me make some great moves. I trust him completely.
John Readshaw
ANZ Bank
I’ve worked with Shane for several years, and his professionalism and real estate knowledge are outstanding. Managing a Sydney portfolio, I’ve had many successful projects with him, and our relationship remains highly professional. Whenever I invest, Shane is my first call—his honesty and integrity are second to none.
John Muirhead
Property Investor
Shane helped me relocate from Sydney to Brisbane. I'm very grateful that he found the perfect house for my budget and simplified the moving process. I would recommend talking to Shane because his help was invaluable.
Jenene Huntingford
Shane bid at an auction for us while we were overseas, but more than that, he’s helped us build a solid investment strategy. His advice has been key to understanding the market, and he’s great at making complex stuff easy to get.

Our process
Our process
Our process
Over the years, we’ve carefully refined our approach—learning from experience and mistakes so you don’t have to. We focus on buying well and, when needed, identifying where we can add value to properties.

Each step is systematized to make sure you don’t skip important basics, giving you the confidence to move forward and the peace of mind to sleep easy at night. It’s a proven, safe path designed to deliver the best possible results for your unique journey.

What You Should Know
Buying a property is a big deal, and it’s natural to have questions along the way. That’s why we’ve put together answers to the ones we hear most often — to give you clarity and confidence every step of the way.
What’s a buyers’ agent?
Great question! A buyers’ agency works solely for you, the buyer. Our job is to find and secure the right property that aligns with your goals—whether that’s a dream home or a smart investment. Unlike traditional real estate agents (who are hired by the seller), we’re completely on your side. We dig deep to uncover the best opportunities, negotiate hard on your behalf, and guide you through every step of the journey—from search to settlement.
Who is Bourdain Property Advisory?
We’re a small, experienced team led by Shane Mills, here to help you buy the right home or investment property—whether it’s in Brisbane, across Queensland, or beyond. From the first chat to handing over the keys, we’ve got your back with everything from inspections to settlement. Think of us as your trusted property partner, offering a boutique, personalised experience every step of the way.
What types of properties do you buy?
At Bourdain Property Advisory, we help two kinds of clients: People looking for a place to call home in and around Brisbane Investors wanting to build wealth through property across Australia For our investors, we have national reach—which means we can identify high-performing properties that suit your specific goals and strategy. We buy both on-market and off-market opportunities, and we only recommend locations where we've done the research and have firsthand knowledge. Our mission is to find the right property, in the right place, at the right time.

How much do your services cost?
We keep it simple and transparent. For investment properties, we charge a set flat fee—so you know exactly what to expect upfront. For homes to live in, we charge a percentage of the purchase price, which reflects the extra time and care involved in finding the perfect place to suit your lifestyle. Our fees sit comfortably within industry standards, and we’re upfront about them from day one. At Bourdain Property Advisory, you're not just paying for a property—you’re investing in decades of experience, smart strategy, and a team that’s fully in your corner.
Do you buy properties for SMSF?
Yes, we do! Shane and the Bourdain team have personally invested through SMSFs and helped many clients do the same. That said, buying with an SMSF needs careful coordination with your financial advisor or accountant to make sure everything is set up correctly and working in your best interest. Once your SMSF structure is ready, we’re here to jump in and help you find the right property. It’s a powerful way to grow your investment portfolio—but working alongside accredited experts is essential. We’ll guide you through the process, drawing on our own experience and expertise to make it as smooth as possible.
Can you assist with negotiating the purchase price?
Absolutely. We understand that every client’s needs are different, so we offer a flexible negotiation-only service for those who just want expert help with that critical part of buying. Whether you’re handling the property search yourself or working with another agent, we’re happy to step in and negotiate on your behalf to get the best possible deal. It’s all about giving you peace of mind and confidence in one of the most important steps of the process.
