Our Story

Since 2016, Mercer & Cooper has helped people turn hard-earned income into lasting independence – the kind that lets you stop asking what you can afford and start asking what you want your life to look like.

We built our business at the intersection of financial advice and property to take the emotion out of investing in property. Every recommendation is built on the numbers, not gut feeling. It's why we look past the obvious suburb to the one about to move, and why we'd rather say no to a property than yes to a sale.

When we take on a client, we take them on for life. Our advisors build a strategy around your goals, your risk tolerance and your stage of life, then stay the constant thread through every part of that journey, so you're never navigating market noise, or someone else's advice, alone.

It shows in the results. Client after client, cycle after cycle, we've helped ordinary incomes become extraordinary independence by building the kind of equity that buys back your time. Because the goal is always to live life fully, on your own terms.

Our Mission

At Mercer & Cooper, our mission is to empower investors to build lasting wealth through strategic property investment. We do this by providing clear advice, tailored strategies, and expert guidance grounded in deep market insight. Our focus is on removing complexity and noise, so every decision is informed, deliberate, and aligned to long-term outcomes. We believe in long-term partnerships, helping our clients make confident decisions at every stage of their investment journey, from strategy to acquisition and ongoing portfolio management.

Our Commitment

At Mercer & Cooper, we are committed to building enduring relationships founded on trust, transparency, and expertise. We understand that property is a pathway to financial security, peace of mind and long-term prosperity. Our service and advice go beyond transactions; we offer ongoing support and detailed property strategies designed to evolve with your financial goals. We are with you every step of the way, delivering exceptional service to ensure your success.

Meet the Founders

Mercer & Cooper was founded in 2016 by directors Matt Mercer and Bernice Cooper, who bring three decades of experience in property and financial advice – Matt across 30 years in financial services and property acquisitions, Bernice across 29 years in project marketing and investment property aggregation.

Before founding Mercer & Cooper, the pair spent 10 years running a successful financial planning business, where the advice model behind our property investment strategy was first created and refined. That experience led them to establish Mercer & Cooper to help turn ordinary incomes into extraordinary independence.
