About
We Are Changing The Game
PMC Property was established to provide genuine and trusted representation for the buyer in the complex world of Real Estate.
Buying a property is a big decision, and buyers deserve to have an experienced and independent advisor to ensure they buy with confidence and buy well.
At PMC Property we are all about looking after your interests 100% and we believe the client experience and outcome should always remain number one. Transparency and trust are at the core of what we do, and our ultimate goal is to have a profound impact on the livelihood of every client we work with.
As a boutique Buyers Agency and Property Advisory business, specialising in holistic property advice, property and asset management for residential and commercial properties, we deliver quality outcomes for our clients and leave lasting impressions on their buying journey.
Our Story
PMC was founded by Will and James back in 2014 after working for a number of years in the industry witnessing so many people being taken advantage of on the buyers side of a real estate transaction.
Home Buyers are up against a vendor and their highly selling agent who is a highly trained, expert negotiator. Investors are constantly being spruiked to; off the plan units, house and land packages in remote areas, mining town properties with high yields or being convinced to buy in their SMSF when they didn’t really have the capacity to do so. There was and still remains a very real need for independent, uncompromised advice for home buyers and investors.
At PMC, our passion is property, but even more so, to see clients who want to purchase property go into the transaction with open eyes, an understanding of the process and have someone assist them to ensure the best possible outcome that meets their unique goals. Our team is dedicated to perform our role as Buyers Agents and Property Investment Advisors with the honesty and integrity that the property industry requires, yet often lacks.
Why Use Us?
We are very proud of our team and the culture that we have created at PMC. Each one of our team members operate with our companies’ values at the forefront. Being transparent, ethical and professional in everything that we do and always having our client’s best interests at heart.
Our team has extensive industry experience and qualifications including; valuations, Master of Project Management, qualified property investment advisors (QPIA), commercial and residential asset management.
We do not take on a client or project unless we believe that our combined experience can add genuine and measurable value to the transaction or client experience.
Who We Help
Home Buyers

We assist a wide range of Home Buyers from first home buyers to upgraders, downsizes and prestige Home Buyers.
Understand More
We assist property investors across the residential and commercial markets with differing growth and yield requirements.
Expats
Understand More
We are well versed at assisting expats with securing their future home back in Australia or adding to their property portfolio whilst they are working abroad.
Our expat clients have resided in Hong Kong, Singapore, Shanghai, London, Dubai, Boston and New York to name a few.
Medical Professionals
Understand More
We have assisted many medical professionals with securing their future homes and investments.
Typically, they are time poor by nature, so we have a synergy that enables them to focus on their profession whilst still achieving their property goals.
SME’s
Understand More
Business owners and entrepreneurs are often very time restrained, and they focus their attention on the day to day operations of their business.
We work with SME’s to assist their directors and owners with their personal and business property needs.
Relocation Services
Understand More
Australians are frequently being posted to different capital cities or regional locations for their line of work.
This can be a daunting process for someone who is unfamiliar with a market and often time restrained. We work closely with these professionals to ensure that their property requirements are met when they relocate to their new home.
Confidential Buyers
Understand More
In some circumstances buyers would like to remain anonymous to the agent, vendor or general public and we assist with ensuring this confidentiality is met with the highest confidence.

James’s goal of helping all his clients achieve success through property is evident from the very first conversation. He is devoted to his clients, has a passion for property and is transparent in all his dealings.
Property has been in James’s blood as far back as his Grandfather who was a commercial property developer, and since he was old enough to save a deposit, he has been in the property market himself.
One of the primary reasons he has pursued his career in property and furthered his study, was due to seeing so many property buyers enter a transaction with too much emotion having overlook the required due diligence to make an informed purchase.
James completed a degree in Property Economics, is a registered valuer and a qualified property investment advisor and since entering the Buyers Agency world in 2007, has been a State manager and National manager before forming PMC with his business partner Will Hosking in early 2014.
Outside of property, James loves getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city to the outdoors and “roughing it” by camping, hiking and 4-wheel driving. He also loves anything sport related and most of all, spending time with his wife and 3 kids.

Personable, authentic and with a steadfast commitment to achieve excellent outcomes for PMC’s clients, Wills drive to continue to improve the buying experience for Australians is rarely matched.
His personal property investment journey started in 2003 when he purchased his first investment property. Off the back of this purchase his passion for property grew and in 2009 he formally entered the Property Industry as a Property Advisor and Buyers Agent.
Having grown up and worked in a successful family construction business, Will completed a Bachelor of Business at UTS and went onto completing his Diploma of Financial Planning and Full Real Estate License. Will’s desire to “walk the talk” and build his own property portfolio opened his eyes up to how easily people can be taken advantage of when investing their own money in the property market. This fueled Will’s passion to lift the integrity and standards of the advice received on the buy side of a real estate transaction.
Since starting in the Buyers Advocate industry in 2009, Will has been a Buyer’s Agent, NSW State Manager of a National Buyers Advocate division for a Valuation firm before deciding to form PMC Property in 2014 with his business partner James Freudigmann.
In conjunction with his passion for property, Will is an active member of Collaroy Surf Lifesaving Club, a tragic sports enthusiast and loves anything to do with his family, friends and the outdoors.

Community Support
At PMC Property, one of our core values as a business is giving back to the community in our local and surrounding areas.
Through active involvement in various support activities and regular monthly contributions to the below charities, we hope to assist with improving the lives of fellow Australians and protecting the environment in which we live.
Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors
Cause: Wildlife Conservation
Why we support Wildlife Warriors: Population pressures and urban sprawl are putting considerable strains on our wildlife. The very industry we are involved with that houses the human population, often competes with the environment and it is our passion that we can all co-exist without being detrimental to the wildlife and their habitat.
Camp Quality
Cause: To Support Children with cancer
Why we support Camp Quality: Every child should be able to enjoy their youth without the challenges of a life threatening illness, and every family with young children should be able to see them smiling and enjoying being kids. We fully endorse the motto for Camp Quality that “Laughter is the best medicine” and we hope that through our regular donations, more kids that are suffering from cancer, can laugh longer and enjoy their youth.
Northern Beaches Woman’s Shelter
Cause: Helping women in crisis
Why we support NBWS: We are privileged to buy and manage properties for our clients, but there are many in our local community of the Northern Beaches that are not so fortunate. The Northern Beaches Woman’s Shelter are helping local women in crisis rebuild their lives and re-join the community. Run heavily on the time, talent and heart of wonderful volunteers and community networks which we are very proud to be a part of.
