Buying an investment property in Victoria is one of the biggest financial decisions you will make. The difference between a well-advised purchase and a poorly-advised one can be tens of thousands of dollars in lost yield, overpaid purchase price or poor capital growth. A Collings Investment Property Advisor gives you independent analysis, investment strategy and professional negotiation at a fixed fee of $4,500 + GST.
What Makes Investment Property Advisory Different
A traditional buyers advocate searches for the property on your behalf. A real estate agent represents the seller. A Collings Investment Property Advisor is independent — you find the property, we analyse it and negotiate on your behalf. No search fee. No percentage commission. Just expert advice and negotiation for a fixed $4,500 + GST.
