Property investors are often more experienced than first home buyers — but that doesn’t mean they don’t benefit from expert guidance. Whether you’re buying your second investment property or your tenth, Collings Property Advisory gives you independent market analysis, investment assessment and negotiation support at a fixed fee of $4,500 + GST.
The Problem Investors Face
Most property investors use the same data everyone else uses — Domain, realestate.com.au, CoreLogic. Few have access to the kind of independent analysis that separates a good investment from a great one. Buyers advocates charge 1.5–2.5% of the purchase price, which on a $900,000 investment property means $13,500–$22,500 in fees — money that directly reduces your cash flow and return on investment.
What Makes a Good Investment Property vs a Bad One
- Gross rental yield vs net yield after all costs
- Capital growth potential based on infrastructure, population and demand signals
- Vacancy rate and rental demand in the target suburb
- Property type — house vs unit vs townhouse for investment performance
- Depreciation potential and tax efficiency
- Proximity to employment nodes, transport and lifestyle amenity

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a property advisor worth it for investors?
On a $900,000 investment property, a 1.5% negotiation saving is $13,500 — three times the advisory fee. For investors making multiple acquisitions, the compounding value of consistently better negotiation outcomes is significant.
How is Collings different from a buyers advocate for investors?
A buyers advocate searches for the property on your behalf and charges a percentage of the purchase price. Collings Property Advisory is for investors who have already identified the property and need expert analysis, assessment and negotiation support at a fixed fee.
Can Collings help with off-market investment properties?
Yes. Collings operates an off-market portal with access to pre-market and off-market investment properties across Melbourne and selected NSW suburbs. Advisory clients get access to this network as part of the service.
Why Collings?
Independent. Fixed fee. GeeVee-powered investment intelligence. Collings Property Advisory gives investors access to professional analysis and negotiation support without the commission fees that eat into your returns.
