Lachlan Ramm
Director
Born and raised in Queensland, I spent the last three years working across property management and sales.
I founded Kestrel because I've seen firsthand how the right property decision changes someone's financial trajectory, and how the wrong one sets them back years.
If you're thinking about booking a call, I'm genuinely invested in seeing you succeed. Happy to have a straightforward conversation about where you're at and where you want to go.
Researched, negotiated and secured — on your behalf.
Portfolio & Strategy Planning
Before we look at a single property, we build your investment strategy. Goals, timeline, borrowing capacity, and structure — everything mapped out so every decision has a purpose.
Suburb & Market Research
We analyse hundreds of suburbs across Australia to find the ones genuinely worth buying in. Our research process goes deeper than the headlines — cutting through the noise to identify the markets with the right fundamentals before they're on everyone else's radar.
Property Identification
Once we know the market, we find the asset. We source on and off-market properties that meet your brief and stack up against the fundamentals — not just what's available.
Due Diligence
Every property gets stress-tested before you commit. Comparable sales, rental yield analysis, growth drivers, risk flags — nothing gets through without scrutiny.
Negotiation & Acquisition
We represent you at the table. Emotion out, leverage in. Our job is to secure the best possible price and terms on your behalf.
Settlement Support
We stay with you through to the keys. Building inspections, solicitor coordination, property management connections — handled so nothing falls through the cracks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be based in Queensland to work with Kestrel?
Not at all. Kestrel works with investors across Australia. We specialise in identifying high-growth markets nationally, so your location has no bearing on where we buy or who we work with.
How is a buyers agent different from a selling agent?
A selling agent works for the vendor — their job is to get the highest price for the seller. A buyers agent works exclusively for you. Our only interest is finding the right property at the right price in the right market.
What does the process look like from start to finish?
It starts with a strategy call to understand your goals. From there we build your brief, research the markets, identify suitable properties, conduct due diligence, negotiate the purchase, and support you through to settlement.
How much does it cost?
Kestrel charges a flat fee — not a percentage of the purchase price. That matters because a percentage-based model gives your agent a financial incentive to push you toward a more expensive property. Our flat fee means our only incentive is finding you the right property, not the most expensive one. Full details discussed on your strategy call.
How long does the process take?
t varies depending on the market and your brief, but most acquisitions are completed within 60 to 90 days from strategy call to settlement.
Do you only buy investment properties?
Yes. Kestrel is focused exclusively on investment acquisitions. We don't work on owner-occupier purchases — our research process, market focus, and strategy framework are built entirely around investment fundamentals.
