Miriam Sandkuhler – Melbourne Buyers Agent & Vendor Advocate

Trusted Expertise. Proven Results. Melbourne’s Leading Buyers & Vendor Advocacy.

Miriam Sandkuhler is the Founder of Property Mavens, a multi-award-winning buyers and vendor advocacy firm based in Melbourne. As a Licensed Buyers Agent, Accredited Property Investment Advisor (PIAA), Amazon #1 Bestselling Author, and multi-award nominated Buyers Advocate, Miriam is recognised as one of Australia’s most trusted property experts.

With over 30 years of experience, $2 billion+ in property transactions, and 180+ 5⭐ Google reviews, Miriam has built a reputation for integrity, transparency, and exceptional results. She is also trusted by leading referral partners — including financial planners, mortgage brokers, and accountants — who choose to work with her to protect their clients’ best interests.

With Diplomas in Property and Business Studies, Miriam is uniquely qualified in a largely unregulated industry. She delivers bespoke, transparent, and results-driven advice for home buyers, investors, and SMSF trustees seeking long-term financial security.

Why Choose Property Mavens?

Miriam’s vision for Property Mavens was born from her own experience as a property investor. Starting her portfolio at 23, she quickly discovered the risks of relying on selling agents who were neither qualified nor insured to provide investment advice. These costly lessons inspired her to establish a Melbourne buyers advocacy firm built on integrity, client-first service, and transparency.

“My clients place a huge amount of trust in me, because it’s their future security and happiness at stake. I am passionate about protecting buyers from overpaying or being misled and sellers from underselling, while ensuring they make smarter, more profitable decisions.”
