Buyers’ Agent comment:
I met Julie and she was looking for her first investment property however was daunted at the prospect of what & where to buy.  I took her around areas of Western Sydney and showed her examples of properties I had purchased for other clients and she become more comfortable with the process.  Not long after that an agent called me with an exceptional property, fully renovated 3 bedroom home on a 600m2 block with a garage for $220,000 achieving $320 per week rent.  We moved quickly to secure the property and I assisted Julie through the process.  The major benefit to the client is that the agents call me when a good deal is available as I have buyers ready – we do not need to search through traditional methods like websites.

What our clients say:
Having no knowledge of the property market and a working full time single parent, I did not have the time nor energy to investigate all potential options open to me.  On meeting Stewart Fraser, who kindly guided me through the process involved in property purchases and the benefits from investing, by the time the morning was over I felt empowered and excited that finally a dream that I had would become a reality.  The property that Stewart negotiated on my behalf is a great little investment property and return for what I could afford.  The process was stress free and exciting.  A huge ‘thank you’ to Stewart who is one of the nicest people I have ever met.

  Buyers’ agent comment:  Matt Corbett

Liz and Mark are living in Armidale and wanted to buy a second investment property for their self-managed super fund. Earlier in the year, I purchased one for them in Manly and then suggested they buy one on the lower north shore. After a few weeks we secured a lovely 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment in Neutral Bay, only 200m from Hayes Street Wharf. It was in a small block of 4, in excellent condition and full of character. There was an offer accepted just over $1.1m, but the purchaser had second thoughts and although Liz was happy to match this offer, I moved quickly to secure the property for $1.075m, based on the high motivation of the vendor to get it done that day.

What our clients say:

We are thrilled with our second super fund property purchase in Aubin Street. So a big thank you for your commitment to securing this one for us. You certainly earned your fee on this one – negotiating a price we were comfortable with and dealing with the vagaries of the selling agent! Thanks Again.

Propertybuyer were very professional and efficient. Matt knew the market well and quickly assessed our requirements and tastes. The whole process saved us time and money and prevented us making mistakes through lack of knowledge of the differences between the NSW real estate purchasing process and that which is used in QLD.

Having been working overseas for a while, I found it very hard to get into the investment property market in Sydney.  After two years of searching online and in person everytime when I was back in Sydney, I decided to use a propertybuyer agent.

My experience with Matt Corbett and Melody Perpic of propertybuyer from search to sales agreement was great.  I was clearly informed on the process and sufficiently provided with professional advice in the purchase negotiation.  Melody showed great patience in finding the best matched properties for consideration and diligence in providing market price for comparison.  Matt also provided great negotiation tactics to conclude the deal at the preferred price and referral of a high quality lease agent.

I was very pleased with the outcomes achieved.  I would also be happy to recommend their services to other property buyers.

As soon as David was assigned to our case, our experience was very good.  He didn't pressure us and his calm and confident demeanour put us at ease re our purchase and gave us confidence in his negotiation.

He did very well to 'mentor' the selling agent into advising his client re our position, and got us in front of the other parties and kept us there.

We were thrilled to have him work for us and think any other clients will be delighted with his service.

I engaged propertybuyer as my Buyers' Agent to bid on a property auctioned whilst I was overseas and out of contact.

Complete integrity and confidentiality was maintained throughout the process by propertybuyer and Anna Rorke.

My adult son attended the auction and is convinced it was Anna Rorke's expert bidding that unnerved rival bidders and secured the property for me well within my budget.

My husband and I just purchased our third investment property through propertybuyer.  We decided to use their services again after realising how quickly we could finalise the process.  Our property was purchased and settled within approximately eight weeks and this included searching and short listing the property.  Our new tenants were renting the property within two weeks of settlement at exactly the rental estimate we received from propertybuyer which allowed us to have the appropriate budget and plans in place.

We would like to personally thank Matt Corbett for his exceptional service and prompt response on any query we had.  His valuable input and presence whilst viewing the properties made this decision for us so much easier as the Sydney market is quite challenging.

I would like to thank Matt for doing a most wonderous job. I appreciate the work Matt did to support us as an advertiser and supporter of the whole searching and buying process. Engaging propertybuyer has proved to be a good and worthy investment. Keep up the good work!

Ling

This is our second property purchase with propertybuyer. Because of our experience the first time we asked them to do it again. Could not be happier. David chaperoned us all the way. Thanks Dave.

It has proven to me that engaging propertybuyer's services is a sure fire and cost effective way of negotiating and securing my investment property.  I am particularly thankful to propertybuyer for their swift and professional services throughout the process.

propertybuyer had to work with an extremely tight time frame to negotiate and secure the property for me.  Without propertybuyer's services, I would not have been able to secure the unit myself with the limitations that I confronted at the time, once they took over the process, a huge stress was lifted off my shoulders.  The team at propertybuyer is very efficient and they provided understanding and human touches along the way, creating in me an impression that the company operates in a highly professional manner and is highly client focused.

I would have no hesitation to utilize propertybuyer's services again in buying my next property, or to recomment its services to others who would like to take the stress out of the process through having a dependable and effective team working on their behalf.

We went to propertybuyer because we wanted to try a service where they worked for us rather than a developer. We are pleased with the result, David indeed worked for us. He was very patient as we went through a few options and at all times remained very professional. Never did David ever try to pressure us into buying a particular property. David's main aim was to ensure we were comfortable with the property and that we got a good deal in a high growth area.

After going through a few properties, we were very happy with the purchase.
