Our Expertise

More Than Property Agents, We're Your Local Perth Team

Independent Property Agents in Perth Since 1988

Bourkes was founded in 1988 with a clear purpose: to deliver genuinely localised property sales and property management services to South Perth and surrounding suburbs. Unlike many of the larger real estate companies in Perth, we are an independent agency, which means our focus is entirely on you and your outcome, not a national franchise model.

Today, our team of 20+ professionals spans sales, property management and leasing – all operating from our Como and Rivervale offices. We live and work in the same streets we sell and manage property in, which means you get real advice grounded in genuine local knowledge of the Perth property market.

Why Perth's Property Market Attracts Buyers, Renters & Investors

Perth’s coastal lifestyle, strong local economy and relative affordability continue to draw buyers, renters and investors to the city. South Perth, Como and Rivervale sit at the heart of this demand, being riverside suburbs offering easy access to Perth’s CBD, quality schools, a diverse mix of property types and a genuine sense of community.

Whether you’re searching for houses for sale, apartments for rent, or looking to grow an investment property portfolio in the Perth market, our local property agents are here to guide you through the process with confidence and clarity.

Houses, Apartments, Townhouses, Units & More Across Perth

Bourkes works across the full spectrum of Perth residential property. Our agents and property managers have experience with freestanding houses, townhouses, apartments for sale and for rent, units, flats, granny flats and riverfront properties across South Perth, Como, Rivervale and the surrounding suburbs.

Whether you’re buying, selling, leasing or seeking dedicated property management in Perth for any of these property types, our team has the local expertise and process knowledge to deliver the result you need.
