About Mitch Keen, Central Coast buyers agent
I’m Mitch Keen, an independent buyers agent on the Central Coast. I’ve personally purchased over $100 million of property here, and I only ever work for the buyer.
One agent, one on one, from the first call to the day you get the keys. Based in Wamberal and buying right across the coast.
My story
I bought my first property at 23 and got hooked. The buyers who did well were nearly always the ones who knew the market and had someone in their corner. Most buyers never get that.
During the 2020 boom I watched good buyers lose out again and again. They’d open up to the selling agent about their budget and how much they loved the place, thinking the agent was there to help. They’d be told the property was as good as theirs, only to be played against another buyer and end up paying more or missing out altogether. After a few years as a buyers agent, I started Keen Acquisitions to even that up.
That’s still why I do this. The selling agent has the information, the relationships and the experience of doing it every week. Most buyers don’t. I give you that edge: the off market options, what a property is really worth, what to watch out for and how far to push. You get everything you need to make a calculated decision, not a rushed one, and to make the right call on the biggest investment of your life.
I’ve been buying property on the coast for the past six years, and for me it’s always been more than a deal. The people I work with get to know me, I get to know them, and a lot of the time my clients become friends. Keen Acquisitions is a family business that isn’t pushed by sales, it’s pushed by outcomes. That’s why it’s a bespoke agency and not a large team, and that’s by choice. I believe you get far more value from one highly skilled operator who knows your brief inside out than from a large team that treats you like a transaction.
Like a lot of people here, I moved up from Sydney with my wife and our two young boys. Finding schools, sorting out daycare and buying the right home all at once is a lot, and I’ve done it myself. It was the best decision we ever made.

THE FILMA short film on how I work, and why I love helping people buy on the Central Coast.
How I work
Honest advice, a small client list on purpose, and one agent who stays with you from the first call to the keys.
Honest advice
If a property isn’t right, I’ll tell you. If it’s overpriced, I’ll tell you that too. My job is to get you the right home at the right price, not to get a deal done.
Only on your side
The selling agent works for the seller. I work for you and only you, so my advice is never tied to getting a sale over the line.
Full attention
I limit how many buyers I take on at once, so every property gets checked properly and every negotiation gets my focus.
One agent
You get me, not an associate or a junior. I handle the selling agents, book the inspections worth your time and get you your Saturdays back.
Keys in hand. Recent Central Coast buyers.
Who I help
First home buyers
Your first purchase is the one with the most unknowns. I’ll help you work out what you can buy, where the value is and what to avoid.
Sydney families making the move
I’ve made the move myself, so I know the suburbs, the schools and the trade offs. I’ll do the legwork so you’re not driving up the M1 every weekend.
Prestige buyers
The best homes on the coast often sell quietly. My relationships with local agents mean you hear about them early, with someone discreet handling the negotiation.
Investors and interstate buyers
Someone on the ground who checks the property properly and treats your money like it’s their own. Regional and interstate purchases too.
“My wife and I were relocating from Sydney to the Central Coast and didn’t know the area. Mitch’s knowledge was second to none and his passion really shone through.”

Outside work
I’m kept busy with my two young boys. You’ll find us at the beach most sunny Sundays, or me on the golf course if my wife gives me a pass. My favourite thing is heading down to the Snowy Mountains to ski in winter with family and friends.
your property, my obsession
