Summary
After nearly a year of on-and-off searching, our first-time investor clients came to us with a clear deadline: secure a quality investment property within 6 weeks. With full-time jobs and suburb uncertainty, they needed a strategic approach—and a fast result.
The Brief
Our clients had been casually searching for an investment property for close to 12 months without success. With full-time careers and limited time to inspect or research, they needed expert guidance—not just on property selection, but also on suburb choice and timing.
– Investment-grade property with rental appeal
– Good long-term growth potential
– Purchase completed within 6 weeks
Our Approach
We began by considering a wide range of suitable investment suburbs across Sydney’s north and west. After evaluating key drivers like yield, infrastructure access, and owner-occupier demand, we narrowed the search to a tight shortlist of areas that aligned with the clients’ goals.
In the end, they inspected just one property with us before identifying the right opportunity.
The Property
– 3-bedroom townhouse in a boutique Thornleigh complex
– Quiet, tucked-away position with proximity to arterial roads
– Renovated kitchen and bathrooms
– Private outdoor space, appealing to long-term tenants
It was a strong match for their brief—offering low maintenance, tenant appeal, and a solid yield profile.
The Result
– Property secured within 6 weeks of engagement
– Clients inspected only one shortlisted property—saving time and stress
– Strategy, search, negotiation, and due diligence managed end-to-end
– Post-settlement support under way, including trusted property manager referral
– Strategic negotiation allowed us to act swiftly and submit an offer aligned with fair market value the same day the property was viewed
– Based on comparable sales, we secured a well-renovated home at an excellent price, without other competition becoming involved
