NIALL GILHOOLY

BUYERS AGENT

Office: Sunshine Coast

Based in Sunrise Beach, Niall Gilhooly is a Buyers Agent with a deep, lived in connection to the Sunshine Coast and a clear focus on helping his clients find the right home, not just any home. As part of the Cohen Handler Queensland team, he works across the region, from the Noosa hinterland and Peregian through to Maroochydore, Caloundra, Buderim and beyond.

Helping Sunshine Coast buyers find the right fit

Niall works with a wide range of buyers, but a few situations come up again and again. Families relocating to Noosa or the Sunshine Coast from interstate or overseas, often without the time to spend months researching streets and school catchments themselves. Busy professionals who simply don’t have the weekends free to chase open homes and competing offers. Growing families looking to upsize into something that actually works for the next stage of their life, and downsizers ready to simplify without compromising on lifestyle. Noosa in particular draws a steady stream of relocating buyers looking for that change of pace, and Niall’s local knowledge of the area helps them move with confidence rather than guesswork.

What ties these clients together is the same problem: they know what they want, but not necessarily how to navigate a competitive local market to get it. That’s where Niall comes in.

Niall didn’t come into buyers agency from a typical sales background. He built his own property portfolio first, across both residential and commercial assets, which gave him a genuine, on the ground understanding of how the Sunshine Coast market actually moves, not just in theory but through his own decisions and his own money. That experience also means Niall is well placed to support commercial buyers and developers through more complex transactions, something not every buyers agent on the Sunshine Coast can offer.

Living locally means Niall isn’t reading the market from a spreadsheet. He knows the streets, the school catchments, the council development pipeline and the agents, and that local knowledge lets him move quickly and confidently when the right property comes up, including properties that never make it to the open market.

If you’re relocating to Noosa or the Sunshine Coast, upsizing, downsizing, or working through a more complex commercial purchase, get in touch with Niall directly.

Client testimonials for Niall Gilhooly

We couldn't recommend Niall highly enough. He's not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but also a genuinely good guy. We had a very specific brief with unique purchasing requirements, and within just a couple of weeks Niall presented us with several off-market opportunities. One of them was the dream property for us. Without him, we would never have known and would have missed out completely on this opportunity. His knowledge of the market meant we had a true professional in our corner throughout the entire process. His fees represented incredible value for the outcome we achieved, especially considering he helped us secure a property we honestly never would have thought possible. The time, stress and uncertainty he saved us alone made the investment worthwhile. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Niall to anyone looking to secure a property, and we can confidently say we'll never buy another one without him.

Charlie Mann

A highly professional and knowledgeable buyer’s agent. Niall's advice, market insight, and negotiation skills helped my clients secure the right property with confidence.

Natalie Williams

After not having the best experiences with buyer's agents in the past, I was initially skeptical about engaging another one. However, I couldn't be happier that we chose to work with Niall. From our very first conversation, he impressed us with his knowledge and engagement. Remarkably, it only took seven days from our initial call to purchasing our investment property, and we had plenty of options to consider. Niall handled all the groundwork meticulously, ensuring that every detail was addressed before we made an offer, which was accepted almost immediately. His keen understanding of our needs, along with the education and support he provided throughout the process, was exceptional. We are absolutely certain that we will work with Niall again for our next purchase, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had his expertise on our side as our agent!
