I’m Rob Panetta, Director of Lux Buyers Agents. My journey began in construction, where I spent my career building homes for others while developing a passion for how property creates financial freedom.

We had a fantastic experience with Rob. He has strong relationships with agents and finds great properties – ultimately finding us a bargain deal.
With on the ground expertise and a thorough due diligence process – I could not have asked for a better outcome.
Thanks Rob
As novices in a competitive market, Rob helped us buy our house quicker – and at at a better price – than we would have without him.
He steered us away from bad decisions. He helped us speed up our search with video inspections of places we didn’t have time so see. And whenever it came time to negotiate, Rob’s experience made us feel confident in our position.
This was our first time using a Buyer’s Agent and we couldn’t be more thrilled with Rob’s help. What was a daunting task was made so simple with Rob guiding us each and every step of the way.
We are delighted with our investment property purchase and know that Rob had our best interests of heart throughout the entire process. Thanks so much!
As a fhb, I found the process of house hunting to be overwhelming and discouraging.
Rob took away the stress of house hunting and helped me find something that ticked pretty much all my boxes.
Rob was always quick to respond, hear out my concerns and be transparent with me. This was a time where having a middle man was 100% beneficial, 10/10 would recommend.
Wanted to take a moment to thank Rob for his tireless work in helping us find a property.
New to the market and in a region we weren’t familiar with, Rob gave us confidence and was the driving force behind us getting a great result.

Questions about how we work and what we can do for you.
What defines a buyer’s advocate?
A buyer’s advocate, also known as a buyer’s agent, is a professional who represents the interests of you, the property buyer.
They assist with the entire property buying process, offering services like property due diligence, inspections, negotiations, and helping secure the best possible deal. Our main goal is to provide objective advice and help you take the emotion out of buying. We utilise our market knowledge to find properties that align with your requirements.
We don’t sell houses; we protect buyers.
What if I lose at auction?
We don’t stop when the hammer falls. We help you find alternatives, negotiate off-market deals, or prepare for the next opportunity.
Do you work outside Melbourne?
Our expertise is Melbourne’s Inner North and surrounding suburbs. We know these streets inside out. That’s where our strength lies; however, we have worked with many interstate buyers and sellers who need expert feet on the ground to be their personal advocate.
How long does the process take?
It depends on your situation. A quick auction bid might take days. A full investment strategy could take weeks. We’ll give you a realistic timeline from the start.
Can you help with investment planning?
Yes, absolutely. With our Property Portfolio Game Plan, we build investment roadmaps tailored to your goals, budget, and risk tolerance. We look at cash flow, growth potential, and long-term wealth building. Get in touch to find out how we can help you.
