Engaging a Buyers Agent will save you time, money and stress. Most Australians will only ever buy one or two properties in their lifetime. For this reason, the learning curve is very steep and the lessons to be learned can be extremely costly.
What will often happen with DIY investors is that they will purchase a property from a sales person without a proven process or success formula or they will react to a news article or internet search and after months of half-hearted searching will simply jump on the next property that comes along just to get the job done.
We have the experience and expertise to help you play the advantage without getting ripped off.
The main difference is who they represent. A Buyers Agent is a real estate agent that specifically works on behalf of the buyer to locate and negotiate on a property in line with the buyers specific instructions. A Selling Agent, on the other hand, works specifically for the seller (otherwise known as the ‘vendor’) to achieve the best price possible for the property being sold. It is against the law for an agent to work for both parties in the sale of a home.
*Note – A Real Estate Agent (selling agent) will only have a certain number of houses for sale in a specific geographic area, (their listings).
A professional Buyers Agency (me & my team), will help you to explore the entire market for great opportunities that are just right for you!
This gives you, the investor, much greater choice and control over your purchase decision and your financial future.
I’m a qualified real estate Buyers Agent
- Member of the Real Estate Institute of NSW and also REIQLD
- An accredited Investor Friendly Agent

WealthKey Property does not and will not ever do the following:
- Present you with off-the-plan or developer stock
- Take commission from vendors or their agents for a purchase
- Buy property sight unseen or without proper research and due diligence.
We will only ever represent your best interests in the purchase.
We act exclusively for real estate investors only. Buying a family home is very different to looking for an ideal investment property. When searching for an investment property we pay particular attention to areas that have capital growth drivers, good rental returns, tenant appeal and access to employment, transport, schools and shops to name a few.
We identify growth markets predominantly on the East coast of Australia including capital cities and certain regional areas.
- Sydney
- South East Queensland
- North Coast
- South Coast
- And more.
We only ever discuss specific areas with active clients that we are working for at the time. This eliminates the risk of people trying to act on a ‘hot tip’ and potentially getting things very wrong. It also protects our clients’ interests at all times.
Our research never stops. As well as buying property that is in line with our current investors needs we are constantly monitoring where to next. We understand that property moves in cycles and the only way to be on the leading edge is to understand what drives growth and also how to see the signs when a market is reaching maturity.
Some of the research tools that we use and subscribe to are as follows:
- SQM
- DSR
- Ripe House
- APM Price Finder
- RP Data
- Residex
- Hotspotting
- Australian Bureau of Statistics
- Local Council websites
We set up google alerts for areas that we are actively investing in for our clients. We also monitor the mainstream media and other investment publications with a cautious eye.
Yes, we guarantee to find you a property and successfully close the deal. It is our job to match up willing buyers with specific needs to willing sellers. It is important to understand that there is no such thing as the ‘perfect investment property’. There is however, in all markets a property that is just right for you.
We are property buyers on your behalf so we have a thorough understanding of your property search criteria and budget. We are always aiming for successful purchase on your behalf but will also encourage you to walk away from the wrong deal if needed.
The time taken to secure your next ideal property will vary due to market conditions and other factors. We aim to secure you a property within 90 days. This sounds like a long time but is actually a reduction in time and risk. Having someone with an experienced eye who is actively working for you gives you the advantage of targeting the right deals sooner and eliminating risk.
Due to our experience and connections we have an extensive list of professionals that you may choose to use. This includes
- Leasing agents
- Building and Pest Inspectors
- Solicitors and Conveyancers
- Mortgage Brokers
- Accountants
- And Financial Planners.
These contacts are local, regional and interstate. Part of our process is to become a local area expert on your behalf and this usually means finding good people on the ground and who to avoid when assessing local professionals.
You are free to use your own advisors at any time and we will happily work in with your team.
Working with WealthKey Property is a partnership to help you achieve a successful outcome. Finding a property is only one part of the process. If you find something you absolutely have to have and it ticks all the boxes we will help you to secure the deal. We understand that although you’ve engaged our services to find a property, you want to keep an eye on the market at the same time. We encourage open communication in order to best understand your preferences and dislikes in relation to specific properties.
Once you have engaged WealthKey Property, the fee is payable as per our agreement helping you to make the best possible decisions.
Our aim is always to get it right the first time. When you engage our services we take great care to tailor a property brief that is just for you. This includes discussing different markets, areas, prices and property types. If you do happen to change your mind, there may be an additional fee to cover additional time spent to research and develop a new property brief. The chances of you changing your mind are extremely unlikely due to the level of care we put into our initial discussions with you.
