About Waterman
Adelaide's original buyer's agency.
Founded in 2003 as the first dedicated buyer's agency in Adelaide, Waterman represents buyers and sellers, never the agent on the other side of the deal.
With more than thirty years in the South Australian market, we research, inspect, value and negotiate every step, so the result lands in your favour. We save you time, money and stress.

"Engaging Matt as our buyer's advocate was the best decision we made in the entire home-buying process. We simply could not have purchased our home without him."
Sarah GeorgeBuyer · Google review★★★★★
"I bought my first home with the help of Jess from Watermans. Her expertise was invaluable in securing the purchase, and in knowing it was a fair price. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone."
