This is what Anne-Marie and Helen wanted when they came to us to help them build an investment property portfolio that put them on the path to financial freedom.
For Anne-Marie, it was important that we took care of the entire process without much involvement from her. All she had to do was decide on a property from our selection – we did the rest.
Helen appreciated that all of our communication happened via the phone, skype, email and online. She didn’t even have to travel down to the Sunshine Coast to purchase a property there.
Outstanding customer service is crucial for many of our clients. They want to know that we take their interests seriously.
Why Our Process Matters
Before you’re willing to trust us with finding you an investment property, you may want to know more about our process.
How can we promise you an affordable and low-risk investment? And what makes our customer service stand out?
Here are the main steps that we take in order to give you the best possible results.
When you invest with us, you get more than a great property investment.
What are your property investment goals?
When you invest through us, you get more than a great property investment. We help you look at the big picture. We start with analysing why you want to invest in property and what results you are looking for.
Once we have established your end goals then help you choose the right first, second or even tenth investment property to ensure you reach them.
What are your property Goals? Most clients when asked haven’t got a clear end goal in mind, they often just know they want to get ahead, or retire comfortably so know they need property investments to help with that plan.
We take this one BIG step further, and help you work out what exactly you want, for example – if that is a comfortable retirement, we can help work out how many properties you would need, and what type would best suit to achieve the amount of income to achieve what a ‘comfortable retirement’ means to you.
There are many other facets of goal setting we can help with, a comfortable retirement with income from investment properties is just one. Have a chat to us today to see how we can help you with your goal setting.

If you are looking to add to an existing investment property portfolio, we will start by doing a health check of your current portfolio and use that insight into working out the best next step for your Property Investment Roadmap.
For investors who already have one or more investment properties, stability and money management are key when it comes to future investments. We can help these clients leverage equity to make smart investments.
At this stage, we also discuss your preferences regarding the location, type and style of investments. If you have done some of your own research, we can review your choices and give our expert opinion of your options.
Over the past 15 years we have assisted our clients in investing in more than 2500 properties.
We have the tools to make thorough judgments in any situation. Once we have evaluated our client’s situation, we can provide a personalised, customer-oriented service.
Our in-house research team helps you to invest with confidence. Our cutting edge research and data analysis strategies combined with our experience and knowledge to stay ahead.
What type of property and where should you invest?
Following the evaluation, our team performs the necessary research that allows you to make a smart investment.
We dedicate a great deal of manpower to researching market trends across Australia with a focus on South East and Central Queensland. This means keeping in touch with infrastructure shifts. By keeping a close eye on innovations and developments, we pinpoint areas that are likely to experience a growing need for housing development.
When we take an area into consideration, we generally spend about a week doing the research from our office. Then we rate our research to make sure that we’re making the most objective assessment possible
If we rate it highly enough, a team would go out to visit the location in person. There are facts that you can only learn by showing up.
So we assess noise levels, and we observe the streetscape during the day and the night. If there are any unusual issues, such as powerlines overhead, we make a note of it.
We consider everything from your future tenants’ point of view. Here are a few of the questions that we ask:
- Are there good schools nearby?
- What is parking like on the block in question?
- What about public transport?
- Is the phone reception working correctly? What about internet options?
- What are the current demographics of the neighbourhood?
- Are the local businesses doing well or are they struggling?
To get a really clear picture of the neighbourhood, we talk to the town planner and the council officer. We also make sure to visit the local information booth for more on-the-ground knowledge of the area.
All of this information helps us prepare a selection of potential properties for you. But location isn’t everything.
Data-driven insights to help you research, buy and manage your investment property
We help you choose the right builder or developer and manage the entire process for you. Our project management team will be there for you every step of the way.
What support will you need through the construction and settlement process?
If this isn’t your first investment property, you already know how much paperwork is involved in making the acquisition happen.
Taking care of that for you is a significant part of our service.
We’ll keep you in touch throughout the purchase process and build phase with everything that’s going on, making sure you have easy access to the information that you need.
Our qualified builder monitors the entire build process for you which means that you don’t have to. As well as keeping you informed with photos and inspection reports, our team will also arrange for you to have regular site visits yourself should you wish to.
Most of our clients have said that our approach was a significant relief. We have helped a number of investors shoulder the burdens that come with buying property.
But our service doesn’t end there.
The right builders and developers
Our team also devotes a great deal of effort into finding the best builders and contractors to make our clients’ vision a reality.
We have great relationships with a number of builders and contractors who do amazing work on schedule and budget. But in some cases, it’s important to find new builders and establish new connections.
Our research allows us to choose the very best in builders and developers to work with you on your investment property. We interview and help you choose the perfect property managers.
