Frequently asked questions
To help you understand more about our services, we’ve provided answers to the following common questions. Of course, if you’re still not sure about anything, simply send us an enquiry and we’ll answer your query as soon as possible.
I am a registered nurse. I earn $63,000 a year. Can you help me build a property portfolio?
The answer is ‘yes’. Of course we can. We take enormous pride in working with ordinary, hardworking Australians from all walks of life who want to actively take control of their wealth creation. We can advise on the right strategy to build a property portfolio for financial independence.
My accountant said I should buy a property. Can you help do this?
Definitely. In fact, many clients come to us when they realise they could do more to generate wealth. Often, after we find a property, and clients can see their wealth growing every year, they entrust us to buy more property to add to their portfolio.
I’ve got $500,000 to invest. What are my options?
You’ll have plenty of options if you have $500,000 to invest. From buy-and-hold growth properties with that extra twist to add-value properties to fast-track your wealth. Of course, we’d really need to sit down and talk with you before coming up with any definitive recommendations.
I want a wealth strategy for my retirement? Can you help?
Absolutely. The power of ‘bricks and mortar’ to generate long term wealth is extraordinary, and there are lots of strategies we can recommend depending on your circumstances, your time frames and your ultimate aims.
What is the difference between a selling agent and a buying agent?
There’s a huge difference as a matter of fact. Real estate agents (selling agents) look after the interests of sellers (vendors) which they must do by law, so it’s impossible for them to act impartially. They are trying to sell the property for the highest possible price. Our goal as a ‘buying agent’ is to buy property on behalf of our clients, for the lowest possible price, and with terms and conditions best for the buyer, not the seller.
What’s more, selling agents simply cannot give you the dedicated time and attention needed to find and buy the property that’s right for you, and you can waste valuable time only to be disappointed at the results.
As a buyer’s agency, our business goes much further in understanding and serving your needs, and giving you expert advice that’s got only your interests in mind.
Aren’t all buying agents the same?
No they’re not. Whilst all buying agents are acting exclusively for buyers, you really need to consider the experience and reputation of each company. For example, the team at Real Estate Buyer’s Agents has bought hundreds of properties turning many clients into wealthy property owners.
What are the different strategies for property wealth creation?
They range from yield-based strategies to capital growth strategies. They include ‘add value’ strategies to fast-track your property wealth or advanced strategies to develop your portfolio at wholesale prices and not pay retail plus. It depends on your aims, your time period and your financial situation. We can help you design and tailor the right strategy especially for you and your circumstances.
Can I have maximum capital growth AND yield?
The answer is both yes and no. And there is a way to create this dynamic strategy for yourself. To move forward, we will need your Getting Started form and a financial assessment.
What is the best way to work with Real Estate Buyer’s Agents?
For us to be able to help you, we need information from you to advise and guide you, and then to recommend strategies that will work for you. Our aim is to help you to put into place a long term property portfolio building strategy.
What is the next step?
To help you in the most professional way, we’d like you to complete our ‘Getting Started’ Form (link to this page) that is simple and straightforward. With this, we can review your aims and objectives, and then contact you to discuss the best possible strategy for you to achieve your property wealth.
If I don’t live in Sydney, how can you help me?
We work with clients from all around Australia and the world. In fact, with many of our clients, we never meet them in person. We can work by phone, email, fax and Skype, and we have a lot of experience in understanding what you’re looking for using these methods.
Often we’ve bought clients homes and investment properties ‘remotely’, and importantly, we’ve found exactly what they wanted and taken care of everything, invariably exceeding our client’s expectations.
