Eastern Suburbs
Discovering Sydney’s Iconic Eastern Suburbs
Spanning the southern shores of Sydney Harbour from Woolloomooloo to Watsons Bay, and stretching along the world-famous Pacific coastline, the Eastern Suburbs is Sydney's most prestigious and globally recognised neighbourhood. Renowned for its unparalleled harbour and ocean views, legendary beaches, and a lifestyle defined by luxury, elegance, and coastal living, this area truly is a playground of the rich and beautiful.
Residents are drawn to its:
Harbour-edge elegance: Exclusive villages like Double Bay, Rose Bay, and Vaucluse offer stunning harbourside parks, secluded swimming coves, and waterfront dining, providing a sophisticated lifestyle that is minutes from the CBD.
Iconic beach culture: Home to world-famous stretches of sand including Bondi, Bronte, Tamarama, and Clovelly, the area offers a dynamic, year-round coastal lifestyle complete with cliff-top walks, ocean pools, and vibrant surf scenes.
High-end retail and dining: From the sophisticated boutiques and galleries of Paddington and Woollahra to the vast retail hub of Bondi Junction, the region is a centre for fashion, art, and fine dining.
Parks and grand spaces: The vast expanse of Centennial Parklands and Moore Park provides a huge green oasis for cycling, horse riding, picnics, and sports, contrasting beautifully with the dense urban pockets.
Seamless connectivity: Efficient bus networks, the Eastern Suburbs train line to Bondi Junction, and the new Light Rail ensure quick and easy access to the Sydney CBD, making the commute stress-free.
Every suburb in the Eastern Suburbs shares a commitment to lifestyle excellence, natural beauty, and prestige—qualities that turn seaside properties into homes, and views into everyday inspiration.

Area & Suburbs Serviced
Anthony Johnston (AJ) services Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs with a strong local focus on:
Queens Park, Clovelly, Bronte, Randwick, Coogee, Maroubra, Matraville, Kensington, Kingsford, Malabar, Centennial Park and Pagewood.
Connection to the Area
AJ has lived, bought, renovated, and sold homes across the Eastern Suburbs for nearly two decades, giving him an intimate knowledge of backstreets, lifestyle pockets, local builders, and market rhythms. His personal property journey — from raising a family to downsizing — provides practical insight into what buyers need at every life stage. That hands-on experience means AJ understands the subtle differences between streets, schools, and amenities that shape long-term value.
Background Prior to Buyer's Agency
AJ worked in IT corporate management until being retrenched in his 50s and used that pivot to pursue his passion for property and become mortgage-free. He has been actively buying, renovating, and selling homes since 2005 and turned that real-world experience into a business focused on helping others make confident property moves. AJ’s corporate background brings discipline in project management and systems thinking to every purchase.
What Sets Him Apart
Life-stage empathy: Firsthand experience with downsizing and raising two teenagers post-divorce means AJ deeply understands clients in transition.
Local network: Trusted connections with agents, brokers, and advisers provide clients access to off-market and pre-market opportunities.
Straight-talking service: No-pressure recommendations — AJ only suggests A-grade properties he would buy himself.
End-to-end guidance: Every client receives a customised brief and comprehensive support from search through to settlement.
Negotiation Approach
AJ combines rigorous data-driven research with timely local agent intel to identify true market value. He uncovers vendor motivations early and crafts offers that address those drivers, not just price. For auctions, he prepares a clear, client-aligned bidding plan so decisions are confident and controlled under pressure.
Staying Current with Market Trends
Agent and developer contact: Constant communication with local selling agents and developers to surface off-market opportunities.
Data monitoring: Weekly tracking of auction clearance rates, median prices, and suburb growth using PriceFinder and Stash BA.
On-the-ground engagement: Regular attendance at open homes, council planning briefings, and property events to spot zoning and development shifts early.
