Manik at PBA was the most efficient buyers agent I have ever come across. He was never too busy to take my calls and would return my calls almost straight away if he ever missed them. His attention to detail was second to none. He made the entire pricess of buying an investment property very smooth. The best thing with working with Manik is at no point I felt like he was rushing the process in order to 'close the sale' so to speak. He always had our best interests at heart. Very professional I highly recommend PBA to anybody who is getting into the property market.

Manik is one of those rare buyer’s agents who actually makes you feel deeply calm. He’s professional, steady, and incredibly easy to deal with. We had him on the No BS Real Estate Podcast, absolute gun of a guest. Clear insights, explained simply and just highly valuable. Highly recommend working with him!Posted on Google Jamin STrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I highly recommend Manik as a Property Buyers Advocate. He helped us purchase our first investment property, and he’s been amazing from start to finish. From the initial brief and data-driven market research to find the best properties, to inspections of shortlisted options and going over the pros and cons of each, he ensured we secured the best property for the right price. Every step of the way, he made it much easier by communicating with sellers’ agents, conveyancers, building inspection companies, property managers, and even showing a prospective tenant through the property. He’s simply a wealth of knowledge and experience. We highly recommend engaging Manik, whether you’re new to property investment or have done it all yourself.Posted on Google Mario BoudewynTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

The professionalism and knowledge delivered by Manik was outstanding. Manik was always on top of everything, delivering ideas and suggestions with confidence, experience and warmth.Load more
PBA was founded by Manik Sethi after experiencing firsthand how difficult it is to navigate a property market filled with conflicting interests.
After migrating to Australia, Manik built his own property portfolio and quickly saw how poor advice, rushed decisions, and misaligned incentives could lead to costly outcomes. That experience shaped a clear belief — property decisions should be driven by clarity, structure, and independent advice, not sales pressure.
Over time, this perspective extended beyond buying. Supporting families through the sale of a loved one’s home — often to fund aged care — highlighted just how complex and emotional these decisions can be without the right guidance.
Today, PBA helps property investors and sellers make confident, well-informed decisions in high-stakes situations — providing independent advice, strategic clarity, and representation across both buying and selling.
