Are you buying the right property?

The right property has a good street scape, good floor plan, is well built and readily rentable if for investment purposes. We are experienced at recognizing what is the right property and also what is the wrong property.

Are you paying the right price?

The right price can only be determined by analysis of up to date comparable sales of similar properties. Our vast valuation experience ensures the right price (or better) is paid.

Do you know how to work the property investment cycle to maximize your investment?

We know that the property market runs in cycles. We know when the bottom is near and when the top is near. Investors who buy and/or sell against the cycle trend (sell at the top and buy at the bottom) are the most successful.

The next 12 months will prove to be an outstanding opportunity for investors to buy carefully selected properties at reduced prices. Those properties need the essential elements to deliver a positive investment outcome. A significant part of our business is about getting those elements in place.

Is timing as important as location?

Location is important, but timing is critical to short term and long term investment strategy. Those who buy in a depressed market take full advantage of timing and these conditions normally come around only once in each 5 to 10 years.

Do you understand the strategy and process of property negotiation?

Buyers agents trained as valuer’s offer a distinct advantage for their client.

Question: If a buyers agent is not a trained valuer, then how can they correctly analyze value and then advise his client at what level to effectively and accurately negotiate

Answer: They can’t!

Our Strategy

As valuer’s we deal in exact analyzed values whilst the selling agents and our competition deal in broad price ranges.

The process

These conclusions then determine how we pitch and control an offer to the maximum extent.  It also helps us establish when to walk away if the price is too high.

Who gains from a rising rental market?

Holders of rental properties – that’s who! Conditions for a rising rental market have rarely been more prominent than at present.

Lower sales volumes and less housing development and incoming population growth from overseas of 50,000 p.a into Melbourne all adds up to a rental market spinning out of control.

High rentals coupled with constant depressed values = opportunity for astute investing resulting in capital growth.
