Hi, I’m Nick Esplin, the owner and director of Quantum Buyers Agents. I started my career as a builder, so I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about what makes a home work beyond the way it looks. These days, I bring that perspective to the buyer’s side. Whether you’re looking for a home for your family or an investment, I’d like to hear what you want the purchase to make possible for you.
Before moving into buyer’s advocacy, I ran a construction business building residential homes in Brisbane. That background still shapes the questions I ask when we look at a property together. A good first impression matters, but I also want us to understand the building, the work it may need and how well it fits what you’re buying it for. Specialist inspections and legal advice remain an important part of that picture.
I enjoy getting to the reason behind a purchase. You might be moving closer to family, looking for somewhere with less upkeep or planning the next step in your investment portfolio. Once I understand that, we can turn it into a practical brief and talk through the buying support you want. You’ll have room to ask questions and to understand why a property is worth pursuing.
Away from the property search, I enjoy being outdoors and spending time with my family. I know a home has to work for the people living in it, and that an investment has a real person’s plans behind it too. If you’d like to talk about yours, I’m happy to start there.

Before becoming a buyer’s agent, I spent twenty years working on the docks. Property had always interested me, but it was the chance to help people that made buyer’s advocacy feel like the right move. If you’re looking for your first home, a place for your family or an investment in Victoria, I’d love to hear your story and what you’re hoping to buy.
Changing careers was a big decision for me, so I understand that taking the next step can feel exciting and a little uncomfortable at the same time. What drew me to buyer’s advocacy was the chance to have someone looking out for the purchaser. I want you to understand the home you’re considering and feel comfortable asking the questions that matter to you.
I work with people buying homes and investment properties across Melbourne and the wider Victorian market. Some clients arrive with a clear shortlist; others are still working out where to begin. We’ll talk about the budget, the areas you’re considering and what the property needs to do for you, then agree the support that would be useful. I’ll explain the options as the search develops and keep you involved when a decision needs to be made.
Outside work, family and footy usually win, and I’m always happy to have a proper conversation over a coffee. The best part of this job is seeing what the purchase means to the person behind it. You don’t need to have everything worked out before getting in touch. Tell me where you’re up to, and we’ll take it from there.
\"},{\"name\":\"Olivia Gray\",\"image\":\"https://framerusercontent.com/images/LUKuSOW1Ny5mJe2zBBNrKQ1ZpUo.jpeg\",\"slug\":\"olivia\",\"role\":\"Buyers Agent\",\"bio\":\"Hi, I’m Olivia Gray, a buyer’s agent with Quantum in Melbourne. I enjoy helping people make sense of the Victorian property market and find a home or investment that fits what they actually need. Your reasons for buying are the place I’d like to start. Tell me about the move you’re considering, what matters in the property and the parts of the process you’d like someone beside you for.
I like to take a calm, methodical approach to a purchase. There can be a lot competing for your attention when you’re looking at homes, and a well-presented listing can make it difficult to step back. I’ll help you bring the conversation back to your brief and understand what makes one property a better fit than another.
My work covers residential homes and investment purchases in Victoria. We’ll look at the practical side of the property as well as the location: how it would work for you, what needs investigating and what the available evidence tells us. I’ll talk through the findings with you and coordinate the agreed buying work alongside your solicitor, broker and inspectors.
When I’m away from the search, I enjoy exploring Melbourne’s caf\\xe9 scene. Getting to know a neighbourhood is part of understanding why people want to live there, but your priorities will always shape our search. If you’d like to talk about the places you’re considering, I’d be happy to hear from you.
\"},{\"name\":\"Jasmine Lewis\",\"image\":\"https://framerusercontent.com/images/JN8xqQJMNmVKMt6w7t6S1P2IA.jpeg\",\"slug\":\"jasmine-lewis\",\"role\":\"Buyers Agent\",\"bio\":\"Hi, I’m Jasmine Lewis, a Quantum buyer’s agent based on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. I love helping people buy a home they want to keep or an investment that supports the plans they’re working towards. Family, travel, the beach, yoga and art are a big part of my life, and I bring that same grounded approach to working with clients. I’d love to hear what your next property would mean for you.
For me, a good property conversation starts with listening. You might be looking for a forever home, taking your first step into investing or considering a commercial property. I want to understand why you’re buying and what you need help with before we start talking about particular listings.
I enjoy the work behind bringing a purchase together, from identifying suitable opportunities to keeping the conversation moving with the selling agent and your advisers. When a client is buying from further away, the communication and organisation matter just as much as the search itself. You should be able to ask where things stand and understand the answer.
One of the purchases you can explore below is a Parkwood warehouse and showroom bought for an SMSF client working at a mine site in Western Australia. It took patient negotiation and close coordination through to settlement. That is the sort of behind-the-scenes support I care about: helping you stay connected to your purchase while the agreed work is being taken care of.
