Experience is knowing
what to look beyond.
I’m Lawrence Zhu, the founder of Buyuhome.
With more than 15 years of professional selling-agent experience, I understand how properties are priced, brought to market and negotiated.
I founded Buyuhome to put that experience to work for buyers and vendors. We help you understand the market, assess your options and move forward with a considered strategy.
For Melbourne’s Chinese-speaking families in particular, clear communication in Chinese and English makes complex information easier to understand, and every step easier to navigate.

08 / GOOD QUESTIONS
Clarity before commitment.
A few useful questions before we start working together.
Can you help if I have already found a property?+
Yes. We can discuss property-specific value assessment, due-diligence coordination, offer strategy, auction representation or negotiation support. The scope is agreed around your needs.
How does a buyer’s agent differ from a selling agent?+
A selling agent is appointed by the vendor. A buyer’s agent is appointed by the buyer and focuses on the buyer’s needs, value assessment and acquisition strategy. Specific responsibilities and fees are set out in the agreed appointment.
How does a vendor advocate help me sell?+
We help you assess and choose a selling agent, compare fees, pricing advice and marketing proposals, and make decisions during the campaign. Service scope, fees and relevant working arrangements are explained before appointment.
Can we communicate in Chinese?+
Yes. Buyuhome offers communication in Chinese and English to help explain property information and the transaction process. Legal, lending, building and other specialist questions are coordinated with the relevant professionals.
