Buying in Melbourne's Inner East? We'll find it. Often before it hits the market.
Tomii is an independent buyers agency working 100% for you — the buyer. We've secured 500+ properties for our clients, and 56% of them never even hit the open market.
Quality customer service is a thing of the past in buyer's advocacy.
We're bringing it back.
In every Australian property transaction, the agent works for the seller. Until you walk in with one of your own, you're outnumbered — and you're expected to know how to read a Section 32, spot a dud building report, and outbid a room of strangers on a Saturday morning.
We work entirely for you. Search, inspections, due diligence, negotiation. The only side we're on is yours.
Six steps. No surprises.
From first call to keys in hand. We agree the brief in writing, we keep you in the loop the whole way, and we never push you into the wrong house.
We hear what you're after. No obligation, no sales pressure — just an honest read on whether we can help.
The suburbs, the non-negotiables and timeline. Let's create the plan.
Including off-market listings agents only show their network. 56% of our clients buy something most buyers never see.
We'll arrange building and pest, contract reviews, and complete our own comprehensive due diligence. We do the homework before we let you fall in love.
We represent you 100%. It doesn't matter if we are trying to buy before the auction, dealing with a private negotiation or turning up on Saturday to bid. We'll do whatever it takes.
Pre-settlement inspections, key collection, removalist recommendations, any handover questions — we're here to help.
All reviews. Five stars. No exceptions.
"Tristan was fantastic to work with in securing our home. After months of missing out at auctions, he was able to secure a property that fit our brief before it came to market, and at a great price."
"After missing out at two auctions I decided to reach out for assistance. Tristan's relationships allowed me to get into multiple properties off market where we were able to buy a property before it was listed."
"Tristan helped us find a property we wouldn't have come across otherwise, handled negotiations, and even spoke directly with the owners corp to get answers we needed."

Tristan Larkin
Tristan has been buying property across Melbourne's Inner East and South East for 20+ years. He's a specialist in off-market acquisition — the deals that never hit realestate.com.au, sourced through a network built one relationship at a time.
Tomii is boutique by design. We cap client numbers per month, because what we do well, we do thoroughly. If you're a fit, you'll work with Tristan directly — not handed off to a junior.
What people ask before booking.
If you don't see your question here, ask it on the call. We'd rather you raise it now than wonder later.
Do I really need a buyer's advocate?
You don't. Plenty of people buy without one. The honest question is whether you have the time to sit through 30 inspections, the network to see off-market listings, and the experience to negotiate against an agent who does this for a living. If yes, you don't need us. If you'd rather not, that's where we come in.
What does it cost?
Fees vary by property and engagement type. Once we understand what you're after, we'll customise a fee based on your exact requirements. No hidden percentages, no surprises at settlement.
Which suburbs do you cover?
Our core area is the Inner East and North including Stonnington, Boroondara, Yarra and Port Phillip. We can step outside this on request, but we know these streets best.
How long does it usually take?
Our average is 43 days from sign-up to exchange. Some are faster, some take longer. We don't rush you into the wrong house to hit a number.
What if I'm not ready to buy yet?
That's fine. Plenty of our clients book the first call months before they're truly ready. We'll talk through your situation, flag what's worth doing now, and check in when the time's right.
