We do this by reviewing both properties on and off the market and investigating all potential risks. Known and unknown risks, such as future structural or development changes, can drastically change a suburb’s financial potential.

What our Investor buyers say about us

“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 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

“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

“Thank you for all your help. It was a major investment for us, buying into a part of Sydney we knew nothing about. Your depth of knowledge of the location and everything else including proposed developments, transport, air quality, lifestyle, schools and future public infrastructure was of enormous help to us. Being armed with your expert appraisal of the value allowed us to enter the auction with a well-informed bidding limit. Your command of the entire theatre of the auction placed us at a great advantage over the other three bidders.
I recommend that anyone who is serious about purchasing wisely and winning should engage your services.”

Peter K

“We have bought 3 properties through Chris over a 13 year period.  Focussing on the investment properties, most critically Chris was able to help us focus on this as a pure business decision with no emotion and remove a tremendous amount of stress from the process.  This is critical, because what we may or may not want to live in bears little relationship to what a good quality investment property looks like.  Chris helped us devise a strategy around appropriate suburbs and then once agreed he was able to identify suitable properties and discard dozens of unsuitable properties, meaning we only had to view a few properties and not waste valuable time on a Saturday running from one unsuitable property to another.  When buying out of area one needs local expertise and understanding to know which are poor locations – looking at a map rarely helps and even attending the site does not help without additional information.  Chris was able to provide all the required associated information – not just simplistic comparable information, but detailed comparables with positives and negatives (including information about busy streets, contamination, noise risks, local amenities, aspect, airflow, light) across a range of properties in the area.

We ultimately only had to view 4 properties and consider perhaps 4 more on paper to find 2 investment properties both of which have left us completely comfortable that we have found quality properties in quality locations.  In the case of both properties, this was borne out by being able to rent each of them at the very first showing despite there being many similar sized (but inferior) properties in the areas available for rent.  In the case of the one property, which needed some renovation and was found off market, Chris’ due diligence (through his appointed advisors) into the work required has proven accurate and estimated costings for the work have proven accurate.  What is more, Chris’ valuations on the properties proved remarkably accurate – on one which went to auction he was within 0.3%, on one which we decided not to bid on he was within 4%, such that on the one we bought on private treaty we are very comfortable that his estimate was accurate.

Chris was crucial in both closing processes.  On the auction he kept his cool through dozens of bids against a determined opponent – we were very pleased we were not in the room and could not show any emotion.  On the private treaty Chris managed a tough negotiation through a full Saturday with the counterparty re-trading on agreed positions on several occasions, ultimately closing late into the night.”
