Frequently Asked Questions
In short, our property advisors are professional consultants who are paid by our clients to pursue the purchase of their ideal property. A property advisor is a dedicated expert who can provide clients with services such as property analytics, purchasing guidance, real estate research; all whilst leveraging their knowledge and expertise of today's market.
Complementing advisory, a property consultant can provide thorough step by step property coaching, analysis, and guidance to ensure clients achieve their desired outcome. This journey typically includes providing information about where to buy, property zoning research, suburb assessments, budget and development scenario reviews, financial return and projection evaluations, along with property negotiation, bidding and final purchase. Having our consultants partner with you ensures you receive the complete end to end experience from initial research, right through to the acquisition of your target property.
All elite property professionals should arm their clients with all the facts, relevant information, professional network, and experience available before they undergo any important decisions regarding real estate.
When you are seeking to purchase your ideal property, and competing against other buyers, wouldn’t you prefer an Independent Property Professional on your team rather than on theirs?
Simply put – anyone seeking to purchase property should be leveraging the professional services of a property advisor. The scenario is no different heading to court, and noticing one side has legal representation and the other does not. This would be seen in the courts as totally unfair, however nobody actually warns or advices the purchaser to seek their own professional advisor or representation. Since 2013, The Real Estate Institute of Victoria actively encourages ALL purchasers to engage the services of REIV real estate professionals whenever they consider their first or next property acquisition.
Some of the many advantages Independent Property Professionals provides clients include:
- Arming our clients with independent property research, knowledge and experience that is not linked to a specific selection of properties. Therefore, all outcomes are based on the client’s requirements, all whilst reducing the pressure implied with a traditional commission-based sale.
- Independent coaching and experience continues to guide our clients through the daunting task of their (potentially first) property purchase, ensuring there are no unpredictable surprises or interruptions.
- Leveraging the data and information available, and providing clients with access to independent performance reviews of all agents within their targeted areas area of choice.
- Experienced negotiating can also increase your chances of success at auction day if you are not comfortable communicating directly with real estate agents under auction conditions.
- A property expert at your fingertips enables independent, unbiased and thorough research to be conducted to ensure you have all the information available before making critical life decisions on a potential property acquisition or sale - Information overload and time wasting can also be eliminated here.
- A CPA and former CFO on hand to review your financial scenario planning and development modelling can rigorously test your property planning to ensure the steps you undertake increase your likelihood of success.
- Providing our clients with access to an experienced network of friendly experts in their relevant fields such as law, wealth advisory, mortgage broking and property zone planning, is designed to specifically support each of our key services.

Feedback & Testimonials
Joe
EppingJohn was such a pleasure to work with. He is a strong communicator, a thorough property analyst and advisor, always letting us know the latest listings that would work for our development project. John also gave us a lot of insight on the area and made us feel really comfortable and confident with our final decision. I have referred John to many family and friends and would highly recommend using him if you are looking for a future development site in the area!Martin and Samantha
YarravilleFrom the very beginning, John was immediately responsive and attentive to our wants and needs during our home buying process. He listened to what we wanted and provided us helpful information on a range of properties that might interest us. John figured out early on that we were very particular, and didn't waste our time showing us houses that didn't fit our wish list. John’s thorough knowledge and research of the inner west property market meant that he was able to advise us well about pricing, as well as future planning and government spending in the area that would impact our family.
John’s honesty, responsiveness and knowledge is invaluable in such a competitive and fast-moving real estate market. We enthusiastically recommend him!
Monica and Chris
FairfieldMy husband and I decided to speak with John regarding a potential investment property, as we have very little experience with the market. John was always available and quickly developed a shortlist of properties for us to consider. In the end, he helped us find the right investment in a short amount of time. We are both very busy and John made the process as seamless as possible. His advice, financial modelling, and property reporting on the local market was very much appreciated.
John’s positive attitude and honesty throughout what is sometimes a stressful process, made it that much easier. I highly recommend that you use John for your next real estate transaction!
Dean and Barbara
HighettThis was our first time purchasing a site for property development, and John walked us through the entire process. John is timely, knowledgeable, direct and honest which was super important to both of us. We leaned on him for guidance and ideas of development types in the area, and relied on his research and insight into the area regarding transportation, safety, schools, shops and future property values of new townhouses and units.
Thankfully, John was also able to connect us with our new mortgage broker and solicitor to better prepare us for this new and exciting purchase.
