Buyer Advocate Client Testimonial Case Studies

Here are some extracts from letters of thanks that we have received from past clients, we have been given permission to publish them as case studies to demonstrate that our Melbourne buyer advocate service can assist in many different real estate purchase strategy's.

"Bottom line, you saved us money!"

Hi mate, what can I say - your were fantastic! I never thought we'd be able to get a property under 300K in a blue chip area with all boxes ticked!

Each time we meet I always felt you were working on our behalf and in our best interest and we were so impressed with the background work you did on the properties we were interested in and as you know your opinion helped not only refine search, but also what we'd pay. Whenever we set a limit after talking with you, even if it meant missing out, I felt good about the decision and had no regrets.

Your opinion I always passed onto Marg and she always said, "Yep, that makes sense". Finally, when it came to negotiations I was so impressed. Bottom line, you saved us money! It was tempting to offer a bit more for Johnstone St, but you called their bluff and it worked. When you said to agent we'd keep offer where it was I was surprised but I also had confidence in you and your experience that I felt OK with it. Honestly we never considered an advocate until David mentioned it and even then I wasn't sure. But, from our initial meeting both Marg and I felt good about you and we look forward to working with you again and have no hesitation in recommending you and your service. Thanks again.

Cheers Alan,

"I couldn't stand the real estate games any longer ..."

I and my wife really wanted to live close to work and had partially identified a location of Melbourne that we were really attracted to for lifestyle benefits. Finding an apartment that would suit us best and then trying to negotiate the purchase became a nightmare.

We very often found the agents would never provide clear advice on expected selling prices. We also felt that the agents were vague and sometimes misleading when answering specific questions about the construction quality and maintenance history. The worst of it was that we really struggled to get the confidence to bid at auction as we never felt like we were in a position where we were making a completely informed decision.

Then we realised that’s why some buyers get their own agent, a buyer advocate. We used Jason at Real Estate Angel as he specialises in buying apartments. Within 3 weeks, he had found our perfect apartment. My wife and I were very happy with the price we paid and since settling in we are still extremely happy living here.

If you want to avoid the games agents play and enjoy the confidence of having a licensed estate agent work to find your dream apartment at the right price, I highly recommend you give Jason Wier a call.

"A Nervouse first time property investor ..."

At first we were worried that if we purchased an investment property on our limited budget, that we would be forced to buy in the poorer quality areas where the risk of rental loss and property damage from tenants is greater.

Jason first explained the difference between a good quality apartment and a bad one and then he showed us the benefits we could obtain by purchasing a quality apartment in a blue chip location.

The property that suited us best required a few cosmetic updates (which Jason helped organise). It has also been very pleasing that recent sale results in the area surrounding our apartment have improved more than around our own suburban home.

We proved to ourselves that it can be a simple process if you get the right people helping you – thanks Jason.

"I just don't have the time to spend weekends apartment hunting ..."

I already have a couple of investment properties, I found after living in an apartment myself that apartments were a good fit for my investment strategy, I like to be sure that I will always have a tenant paying rent, I don’t like dealing with maintenance issues and I like being able to invest in the best locations that I can afford.

The problem with building my investment portfolio is time, to find the right apartment takes time, diligence and an eye for detail that I can’t muster the energy or patience for, particularly on weekends. My career is very important to me and so is making the best use of my weekends.

Meeting Jason has been a real boost to the growth of my property investment portfolio, he uses his contacts to source apartments that are in superb buildings and that have proven capital growth of an excellent standard. It doesn’t matter which agent has the apartment for sale Jason tracks it down. This is great because there are some agents that I just don’t enjoy dealing with.

He has a great eye for spotting a bargain and when an opportunity to good to refuse requires minor renovation he organises the trades in first class fashion. I like these apartment’s a lot as we normally increase the rental return and the makeover he does increases the apartment’s value. I get to live my life without hassle and enjoy my career.

If you want to build a property investment portfolio that is easy to manage with great financial returns but you don’t have the time or real estate expertise then I would highly suggest you give Jason Wier a call.
