Your investment property

The team at Curtis Associates are professionals with combined property, law and banking experience across a variety of asset classes from passive investments in residential or commercial real estate to active development opportunities such as renovation projects, boarding houses, granny flats and strata conversions.

Our Principal is an Associate of the Australian Property Institute and a Certified Property Practitioner and we have a registered valuer on staff.

Engaging Curtis Associates as your buyers’ agent gives you access to this expertise.

Buying an investment property, whether residential or commercial, is a serious and increasingly risky business in the dynamic and frequently changing Sydney property market. Whether you are an individual, major corporation, institution or self managed superannuation fund, our aim is to see you achieve a cash positive yield as soon as possible whilst maximising long term capital growth.

Why do it yourself instead of engaging a professional not only to find that property but also to help you navigate through the chicane of economic, regulatory and other risks involved?

If doing it yourself, why enlist help from professionals such as a conveyancer and building and pest inspector but not on the purchase itself?

Analogies abound. Anyone for example, can prepare their own tax return without a trained professional, but how do you know you have mitigated your tax risk? Anyone can go to court without a lawyer, but why take the risks involved especially where the other side is likely to be represented by a full time professional whose job is to act against your interests?

The Sydney property investment market is no different.

In contrast to other professionals such as accountants and lawyers where you pay the fee whether or not you are happy with the outcome, approximately 90% of our buyers’ agent fee is for a fixed amount and charged only on success defined as exchange of contracts. This means that you only pay the success fee if you are satisfied with the outcome our services will provide.

No purchase. No success fee. It is as simple as that and means that you are in control of the value equation.

In return for our relatively small upfront retainer fee, you receive input from our team of property professionals as well as protection from the risks of the Sydney property market.

Sure, you can do it yourself. But why not do it better?

With Curtis Associates giving you more buying power that means:

• better choice
• better information
• better competitive advantage
• better yields and capital growth potential for a
• better return on investment.

And remember, if incurred for business or investment purposes, our fees are likely to be tax deductible.
