Julian Khursigara

CEO & Founder

Julian has spent over 20 years in customer experience and loyalty, but property has always been his real passion. Seeing a gap in the market, he built Search Party Property with a data-driven approach, helping investors make smart, strategic decisions. Having worked across the Asia-Pacific region, he knows how insights and strategy can turn real estate into a powerful wealth-building tool.

At Search Party Property, Julian has created a culture of integrity, knowledge-sharing, and long-term success. He’s built his own portfolio, learned plenty along the way, and is passionate about helping others achieve financial freedom through property.

His philosophy is simple: life is no dress rehearsal, and smart property decisions can open doors to greater opportunities.

Outside of property, he’s a one-eyed Sydney Swans supporter, an avid vinyl collector (@vinyldepository on IG), and enjoys a fine single malt. On weekends, you’ll find him hiking deep in the bush, spending time with his wife and two daughters, or volunteering with Lifeline, giving back to the community.

Farrah Bana

Head of Operations

Farrah has been in property and client management for over 15 years, and she knows exactly what buyers need. As a former market research firm owner, she has a sharp eye for trends and helps clients navigate property investment with confidence. A dedicated investor herself since 2002, she understands how to spot opportunities and maximise returns.

At Search Party Property, Farrah runs daily operations, leading the Client Services team to ensure a smooth journey from contract to settlement and beyond. She’s all about the details and delivering top-tier service.

When she’s not deep in property, Farrah gives back – volunteering as a mentor and teaching ethics at her kids’ school. She also hits the netball court whenever she gets the chance.

David Mercieca

Property Strategist

David bought his first property at 21 and hasn’t looked back. Over the past 20 years, he’s built a solid portfolio, managed his own investments, and co-owned a property management business in Western Sydney. Now, as a Property Strategist at Search Party Property, he helps others make smart property moves.

For David, property is about security and having options in life. He’s not into flashy things—just setting up a solid future. When he’s not helping clients, he’s catching up with mates, keeping fit, or out walking his Pug-Jack Russell mix (who definitely thinks he’s the boss).

Emma Oliver

Buyers Advocate

Emma Oliver knows real estate inside and out – literally.

She’s a two-time REIWA Awards for Excellence winner, recognised for her outstanding service in real estate. With over a decade of sales experience, she now helps buyers make smart, strategic property decisions.

With a background in architecture, years of teaching, and a decade as an award-winning selling agent, she brings a sharp eye and strategic mindset to every property search.Emma makes the process smooth, stress-free, and even enjoyable.

When she’s not scouting great properties, you’ll find her admiring architecture, staying active outdoors, or enjoying time with family and friends.

Sharon Taylor

Property Strategist

Sharon, a Property Strategist at Search Party Property, has a decade of experience helping busy professionals build sustainable property portfolios. She removes the guesswork with data-driven strategies, market insights, and expert negotiation. Backed by SPP’s team, she streamlines the process for smarter investments. 

She’s worked with hundreds of clients to navigate market cycles confidently. Off-duty, she’s with family, three dogs, or chasing a new 1RM at the gym. After a stalled 2024, will 2025 be the year she beats her 77.5kg bench? Let’s see.

Nathan Fowler

Head of Research

Nathan loves data, economics, and making sense of market trends. With a background in investment analysis and real estate, he helps turn numbers into insights that guide smart property decisions. He holds a degree in Economics and is currently completing a Master’s in Data Science.

At Search Party Property, Nathan provides research, market insights, and data visualisations to help clients make informed investment choices. Whether it’s spotting emerging trends or breaking down complex data, he makes sure buyers have the right information at the right time.

Outside of work, he’s a big fan of football, hiking, and getting lost in a good book.

Mridul Joy

Property Strategist

Mridul is all about strategy—whether it’s business or property. With nearly 20 years of experience helping companies plan for the future, he knows how to make smart, long-term decisions. He’s also a dedicated property investor who helps others grow their portfolios.

At Search Party Property, Mridul works with first-time buyers to show them how property can be a powerful wealth-building tool. For seasoned investors, he helps fine-tune strategies to maximise returns and find the next great opportunity.

When he’s not deep in numbers and planning, you’ll find him on the cricket field, playing tennis, or enjoying any sport that keeps him moving.

Ava Khursigara

Administrative Assistant

Ava brings a mix of numbers, marketing, and a fresh perspective to Search Party Property. After completing her HSC in 2024, she earned a spot at the University of Technology Sydney to study Business and Public Health. Growing up in a household where property investing was a hot topic, she developed a natural interest in the industry.

At Search Party Property, Ava keeps the community engaged through social media, making sure clients stay informed. She also supports the finance team, ensuring everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.

Outside of work, Ava is a self-confessed foodie who loves discovering Sydney’s best eats. When she’s not out exploring new cafes, she’s baking sweet treats for family and friends.

Aaron Sanchez

Connector

Aaron brings a diverse background in customer engagement and operations experience to his role at Search Party Property. Throughout his career, which has spanned Australia and the U.S., he has developed a strong foundation in communication, relationship management, and process-driven execution.

In his position as a Connector, Aaron plays a critical role in initiating client relationships. He is responsible for engaging prospective investors, understanding their needs, and facilitating their first steps into property strategy.

Outside of his professional responsibilities, Aaron can be found on the football field. He is driven by a commitment to personal growth and community contribution—values that align closely with the culture at Search Party Property.

Jean Cuenco

Executive Assistant to CEO

Jean’s career started in the most unexpected way – working as a labourer on a banana plantation to put herself through uni. After graduating, she moved into sales but soon took a leap of faith, leaving the corporate world to become a Virtual Assistant.

Jean joined Search Party Property during the pandemic and has been a key part of the team ever since. Over the years, she’s learned the ins and outs of property investment, even taking the plunge with her first land purchase. Now, she helps keep things running smoothly by managing admin, organising leads, and supporting the sales team.

Outside of work, Jean loves nature and capturing it through photography and videography—always looking for the perfect shot.
