Five properties at 33, two of them with us. Bank valuation three months after settlement came back about 5% up. Results differ by brief and market.
Who this is for
A deposit, finance in motion, and a decision inside the year
- Investors buying their first, or adding to what they've got
- Anyone replacing a property that has done nothing, with one picked off data
- Anyone who'd rather read the terms than sit through a pitch
Who it isn't for
Anyone shopping on price
- If the fee is the deciding factor, there are cheaper agents and one of them will happily take you on
- If you want a growth number promised, we don't do that, and nobody honest does
- If the suburb the data points at is the one you were already buying in, don't pay us
Five terms, in writing
What you're agreeing to, and what I am
These are the terms in your engagement letter, in plain words. Nothing on a call changes them.
- The price is in the ad.
$20,000 including GST. Same at $450k as at $1.4m. If the price is the issue, there are cheaper agents and one of them will happily take you on. No hard feelings.
- You pay as we deliver.
$5,500 when you sign. $14,500 only when your purchase goes unconditional. No property, no balance, ever. The $5,500 buys the portfolio session with Tom and the research that narrows roughly 15,000 suburbs to five for your brief.
- Five clients at a time.
One brief per seat, so two of our clients never bid on the same house, and you get me on the phone, not a secretary. The industry body's own red flag is more than four or five clients per agent.
- You see the rejects, and the comps, before you pay for a house.
The five suburbs and the ones that lost, with the reasons. The written comparable sales file before any offer number. And every referral arrangement we have, listed in your engagement before you sign.
- A check-in every year you hold it.
A written check-in on the property and its market, every year after settlement. It never sells you anything. That is a rule, not a courtesy.
Two clients, in their own words
Real clients, first names, with their permission
Two of the five with us. Bank valuation three months after settlement came back about 5% up.
Eight years in the family home, then two investment properties, both bought before they went to market.

How it works
Four moves, and what you get at each one
Phone first, to see if it fits. Then the 45 minutes with everyone who's deciding, where you see the plan and get asked for a decision.
A CPA who ran 1,500 of these a year at one of the biggest agencies in the country. Your numbers, your hold period, what the purchase has to do.
Industry and jobs first, then people, vacancy, rents, supply, prices last. You get the five and the rejects, with the reasons.
The comparable sales file before any offer number. Building and pest used to cut the price, not to walk. Contract to settlement handled.
Apply for the fifteen minutes
Four questions, then pick a time
One question a step. Your answers decide whether the call is worth both our time and let me turn up prepared. Kate reckons I answer the phone like it owes me money.
Fair enough, and thanks for the straight answer.
If the fee's not for you, the free tools are, and they cover a good chunk of the first job: picking the market. Every council in the country is written up, 20 years of prices, rents, vacancy and what's being approved.
If your situation changes, the terms above don't. Come back any time.
Josh, client · his second purchase with us · 1 min 59 · results differ by brief and market
"It never felt like a 'service.' It felt like having someone genuinely in my corner. The property he sourced not only fit perfectly, but came with over $200k in equity."

What happens after you apply
Fifteen minutes by phone, inside a few days. Where you're at, where you want to get to, and whether it fits.
A short form, in your words, so the 45 minutes is about your numbers, not generic ones.
Forty-five minutes, everyone who's deciding. You see exactly how we'd run your purchase, the five terms are read back, and I ask you for a decision. A no is fine.
Straight answers
The questions people ask before they ring
What if you find nothing?
Then the $14,500 is never billed. The $5,500 buys the portfolio session and the research, and you keep both. Five clients at a time is what makes the search a real one.
Who pays you, apart from me?
Every referral arrangement we have is written into your engagement before you sign, in the form Victorian law requires. You read it before you pay a cent. Bring your own broker, accountant and property manager if you have them.
Haven't got a borrowing number yet?
Then that is step one, and it is not us. After the call we introduce you to a broker we use, investors themselves, some of whom have bought three properties through us in the last 12 months. Their number, then our search.
Can't I do this myself?
Yes. Four jobs: pick the market, pick the asset, price it, negotiate it. The 486 council pages on our site cover the first one, free. If you're confident doing the other three at a professional level, you don't need us.
How do I know I am not overpaying?
The comparable sales file exists before any offer number does, tiered by street, not a radius. The building and pest is read as a negotiating document, not a reason to walk. One of them took $20,000 off.
What happens on the two calls?
Fifteen minutes by phone first: where you're at, whether it fits. If it does, we book the 45 minute portfolio session on Google Meet for a few days later with everyone who's part of the decision. You see exactly how we'd run your purchase, and I ask you for a decision. A no is fine.
If the terms fit, the call's fifteen minutes.
If they don't, you've lost two minutes of reading and gained a free set of tools. Either way, no hard feelings.
