WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT US

“From Lynne and I, again our thanks and feel free to say you have acted most successfully for us in the whole matter.”

His Excellency General the Honourable Sir Peter Cosgrove AK MC (Retd), Governor General of the Commonwealth of Australia and Her Excellency Lady Cosgrove

“Chris Curtis is a strategist and a magician. He moves quickly and was with us every step of the way. He was always available, read situations clearly and gave us clear options and advice. He did everything he said he would do and more. With his help, we bought our dream house. We can’t recommend him highly enough!”

Camilla Block

“To achieve outstanding results at all levels when purchasing a commercial property in Sydney CBD, you must partner with the best in this space. Chris has gone above and beyond to get our firm the most satisfactory outcome in times of great uncertainty and fundamental changes in the market. We finally purchased a prime Strata Lot off-market in Sydney’s financial core, with no other competition during our negotiation with the vendor. It was truly inspiring to work with someone with such a high level of experience, precision, and expertise. Chris brings the due diligence process to the next level and has the network as well as the resources to execute promptly when required. It was an absolute pleasure to partner with him and his team on this assignment; and I highly recommend using his services whether you’re looking for a residential or commercial property.”

Edgar Deluen, Director | SideReal Capital Pty Ltd

“I have never met anyone like Chris Curtis. I spend my work life with smart, driven, effective and highly-trained healthcare professionals, but Chris is in a league of his own. He brings a whole new meaning to the word “due diligence”. In fact, he is the epitome of “due diligence”! We engaged him when disheartened by the lack of property stock on the market…Given Chris’ previous litigation and financial background, he was able to bring his substantial intellect and market experience to assure us regarding the integrity and value of the property of interest…
Time of initial enquiry to purchase of a blue-chip property that met all our stringent criteria was 21 days…and he secured the property for us at a discount to the market. This was extraordinary, considering our specific needs and the…global situation with Covid-19, which rapidly deteriorated during the time of our search. Chris impressed us with his intelligence, ability to synthesise and communicate complex information and provide astute advice that was evidence-based. But more importantly, he did so with the utmost respect, openness and integrity. We were deeply impressed…
[I]t gave us great confidence to purchase having Chris on our side. His service was invaluable…Knowing that someone of Chris’ calibre was working unceasingly for us (we would receive emails within minutes of our queries) gave us great comfort. We knew he had our best interests at the forefront. A heartfelt thank you to the best buyers’ advocate ever – we never want to purchase another property without you!”

Dr Karen Chia and Dr Peter Wong

“Chris did a great job in a tough market with prices rising quickly and limited stock. Once he found a target property, he moved rapidly completing a thorough due diligence which gave us the confidence on our price target. At auction, having his experience in bidding was invaluable where he won for considerably less than we had expected. Chris and team did a fantastic job and very happy with the process…”

Roshan Ganeshan

“Just wanted to say thank you again. We are just delighted – still don’t believe it’s actually ours…We do always talk very highly of the service we got from you – I think we have sent a few your way over the years – Kelly, Laura and Gary, Alex and Russel and am sure there are a few more in there, so good to see people are taking our advice.”

Dr Rob and Laura

“Chris Curtis was recommended to us and we couldn’t have been happier with the work he did for us. Chris is very diligent, responsive and highly experienced. He operates with great integrity and has a warm personality that is easy to work with. The due diligence reports and analysis he produced were first class and provided us with a lot of comfort. He brought great insight and strategy when it came to making an offer on the house we purchased and we have no doubt we would not have been able to do so without him.”

Tim Holden

“After a thorough search of buyers agents, my family asked Chris to assist us find a commercial property. We wanted an ‘A’ grade property in our budget in just a few, very popular locations…Chris warned that it will be a tough assignment…Lesser agents may have dropped their standards as the going got tough but we were able to rest assured that Chris only pursued properties of the highest quality. Most properties were off market and it was good to feel ahead of the game. In the end Chris found and helped us buy an off market property to which only we had access that ticked all of the family’s boxes and one that presents a low risk with many opportunities and a strong future. We would certainly not have found this on our own. Chris is the most generous and meticulous person I have had the pleasure of working with…[His] legal background and supporting team exposed and helped us solve various complex issues to reduce risk and even called in favours with specialists to get us answers…I would recommend Curtis Associates to anyone looking for a commercial property.”

The Muir Family

“Can’t recommend Chris highly enough. Chris was incredible through the entire process, helped steady our nerves when we felt stressed and when we doubted whether we would ever get a house, he was always available for any questions we had, and managed to get us our dream home for a great price! He really went above and beyond for us, and we will always be grateful. Thank you Chris!”

Lauryn Bae

“We first met Chris Curtis in 2008 when he successfully negotiated the purchase of our first apartment in Sydney in Dover Heights. 12 years later when we decided to buy a house in Brooklyn on the Hawkesbury River we contracted him again to represent us. In a tightly held market in which we had limited knowledge his experience and advice was invaluable. He managed to negotiate the purchase of our new home off-market which quite simply would have been impossible without his help. We would highly recommend Chris Curtis for anyone interested in an investment or owner occupied property in the Sydney region…”

Allana Sheard

“I was initially hesitant to spend the extra money on a buyer’s agent, but after having done so I can say without hesitation it was a hugely worthwhile investment and I would not contemplate buying another property without engaging Chris again. His background as a barrister and having been involved in large commercial property transactions for Macquarie Bank both give Chris the perfect mix of skills for this role. I negotiate deals every day in my business but still found it invaluable in this case to be ‘represented’ in such a large transaction by someone who is a former barrister, knows the local real estate industry inside out [and] is familiar with the selling agents…Chris was on-call to us 24/7 through the process, and was extremely proactive and completely professional throughout. His service is self funding in that I believe he would always save clients a multiple of his fee on the purchase price, this was certainly the case in our experience. I strongly recommend his services.”

Mark and Tegan

“Over the past few years we have worked with Chris and his team to purchase two eastern suburbs [investment] properties [the first in Surry Hills for $1.353 million and the second in Woollahra for $2.64 million].
They have saved us from auctions, bad investments, and all kinds of stress with smart, commercial advice, market insight and a complete focus on what we wanted to achieve. We cannot imagine and would not want to, or want our friends to imagine buying a property without them.”

Margaret and Justin

  • ESSENTIAL BUYERS AGENTS FAQs

    There are hundreds of buyers’ agents, how do I choose a decent one?

    You have to find a local buyers’ agent you can trust and one you feel has understood your property buying goals. Look at their online reviews to make sure you are dealing with a credible and professional buyer’s agent. Give them a call or meet with them in person to see if they measure up to your standards. Ask them to give you a few case studies and examples of what they have achieved for their past recent clients and especially

    i) the percentage of the properties they have shortlisted and bought for their clients in the past six months that have been off-market and

    ii) how did the price their client paid for the property they bought compare to the price someone else paid for a comparable property within the six months after they bought for their client. Did they make or lose money for their client? And make sure they back both answers up with hard evidence. Also, don’t be shy to ask for contact details of past recent clients you can call to discuss how those clients felt about them after the buying dust had settled. Make sure they also explain their systems and processes for working with you. Remember, you are about to embark on one of the most significant financial commitments of your life, so you have to trust them 100%.
