1. Is it a good time to buy property?
If an investment in direct property is appropriate for your personal circumstances, and you are educated and are able to find value in the right areas for capital growth potential, then yes, now and anytime is a good time to buy quality property as a long term asset.

2. How much will it cost me to use your services?
There is no fee for using our service. We are paid via a portion of the standard marketing fees that are priced into the property value of new developments. This amount is normally sufficient for us to pay our advisers and run the business profitably.

3. What about buying in other states?
Our research partners do consider properties outside of New South Wales and if great projects are identified out-of-state, we will recommend them.

4. Why shouldn’t I just use a local agent in the area I have in mind?
The disadvantage of using a local agent is that they represent the interests of a small number of vendors that have listed their property with that agency. Instead, we look to find a property that best achieves your objectives and is not restricted by vendor listings.

5. What is so special about your investment properties? Won’t any property do?
Put simply, no, any property will not do. We apply a range of proven selection criteria to our properties that means your downside risk is significantly reduced and your chance of investment success is significantly increased. Fewer than one in 10 of the properties we research find their way into a client’s investment portfolio.

6. How do you select properties?
Our research unit spends around 1,000 hours per year on the road and phone talking to developers, real estate agents and councils. The majority of the properties we recommend are inside the 15km circle to a major city’s CBD – close to where people work, and very easy to rent and/or sell again.

We look for properties that are attractive to owner-occupiers because that’s where over 80% of the buying market is. This means that when our clients want to sell there is a large market to sell to.

7. What is your relationship to developers?
For those projects that we decide to take on, we have a marketing agreement with the developer that ensures we are paid for the work that we do.
