Kevin’s civil engineering background shapes the way we work: test assumptions, do the homework, understand risk and negotiate with discipline. We help clients cut through the noise, avoid costly mistakes and buy the right property at the right price. The advice is clear, the buyer comes first and the decision still needs to stack up after the excitement fades.
Today, Kevin leads the Sydney home-buying service from Rozelle and oversees a national investment buying network supported by experienced local buyers agents in the markets where we buy.

Kevin Parker
Co-Founder & Director
Kevin co-founded Parker Hadley to give buyers something that’s surprisingly hard to find in property: clear advice, honest feedback and someone who’s genuinely in their corner. Based in Rozelle, he built the business around a simple belief that buyers make better decisions when the process is calm, evidence-based and free from the usual sales spin.
He still works closely with Sydney home buyers, particularly across the Inner West and surrounding markets, and continues to lead the business day to day. Alongside that, he helps guide Parker Hadley’s national investment strategy, making sure clients buying around the country get the same clear thinking, disciplined filtering and buyer-first approach the business was built on.

Lisa Hadley
Co-Founder
Lisa has been part of Parker Hadley from the very beginning and has played a huge role in shaping the business behind the scenes. From the early days as a small family-run operation through to the business it is now, she’s been a steady hand in the big decisions, the standards and the detail that help keep everything moving in the right direction.
She brings a thoughtful, analytical perspective to the business and has always had a strong interest in property, research and how good decisions get made. Internally, she’s our sounding board and sense checker, which means her influence runs through far more of the business than any title probably captures.

Gareth Woodham
Buyers Agent & Property Valuer
Gareth brings a seriously strong property background to the Parker Hadley team, with deep experience across valuation, acquisition and investment advice. His career started in valuation, which means he sees property through a slightly different lens to most people in the industry. He’s not just looking at what sounds good. He’s looking at what stacks up.
That’s a big advantage for clients buying in Sydney and parts of outer Sydney, where pricing can get emotional and the difference between decent and genuinely good isn’t always obvious. Gareth brings pricing discipline, local judgement and the kind of measured thinking that helps investors buy well, not just buy quickly.

For clients, that means clear advice, strong local judgement and a sharp understanding of what separates a property that simply looks affordable from one that’s actually worth owning. His approach is steady, experienced and grounded in the reality of the market, which is exactly what you want when you’re making decisions from another city.

Mitchell Bryson
Buyers Agent
Mitchell brings deep local knowledge and a genuinely calm presence to Parker Hadley’s Central Coast offering. He founded Bryson Buyers Agents in 2021 and has since developed particular expertise across the Central East, along with premium, acreage and hinterland properties throughout the wider region.
Those markets often require more than a quick look at recent sales. Many properties trade off market, while differences in land, location and lifestyle can make true value difficult to judge. Mitchell combines detailed product knowledge with strategic timing and a steady approach when the pressure rises. For clients, that means honest guidance, confident negotiation and someone who knows when to slow things down, cut through the emotion and keep every decision focused on the right outcome.
