Who are your clients?
In my Buyers Agency clients are typically professionally employed people who want the benefits of property investment, but recognise they do not have the time required to buy an outstanding investment property which will perform the way they expect it to or they do not live local to the area they want to invest in.
I also work with busy home buyers and first time home buyers who are busy, feel overwhelmed by the process of buying, feel intimidated by the thought of bidding at auction or just feel better about hiring a professional to take the task off their hands.
Most of the clients I work with are employed as;
- Senior Executives & Managers
- IT Professionals
- Bank Employees
- Risk Analysis, Engineers and Project Managers
- Dentists
- Doctors
- Business owners
My clients are local buyers, interstate buyers, expats and people who live in regional areas wanting to buy property in metro Melbourne.
what types of personalities do you work with?
Over our many years of experience we have identified the traits of people who are a perfect fit for our team and process.
Investors who work perfectly with Parker Buyer’s Advocates;
- Want to invest in property is a safe, steady and strategic fashion
- Want to buy for the long term (buy and hold investors)
- Like low risk deals or deals where risk can be calculated with accuracy
- Have a strong financial foundation (ie equity, savings and an ability to hold the property while it is negatively geared)
- Have a minimum budget of $450,000 to invest
- Are able to work collaboratively and are responsive during the search phase of our work
- Are really serious about getting a result
- Really want to work with an advocate they can respect and trust
We are known to work best with people who want to invest in property safely and strategically.
Meaning that the decision making process comes down to;
- Which properties make the most financial sense
- Match clients risk profile and
- Fit within their property investment strategy
Home buyers who work perfectly with Parker Buyer’s Advocates;
- Are really ready to buy their new or first home and would love to have a professional on their side
- Want an expert eye to look over and assess their property to make sure they are buying a real gem
- Have a desire to short-cut the process, saving months of trying to develop a realistic brief on their own
- Are focused and committed to achieving a successful outcome
- Want to ensure they pay the right price for a property and avoid costly mistakes
- Love the idea of accessing off-markets for consideration and avoiding the competition from regular buyers
- Are decisive decision makers
- Value expertise and quality over a cheap solution
We love working with clients who feel comfortable with us and are willing to trust our guidance and expertise.
for whom will your service not work?
There are a few types of people for whom our service does not work well for;
Price Shoppers
If you are looking for the cheapest buyers advocate, we are not it. We believe in the old adage “You get what you pay for”. When you choose us, you will be getting our very best work along with substantial experience which is worth the investment.
Discounts-Are-Us Types
Want a discount on the service because it makes you feel great buying a product or service for less than the advertised price. Trust me, asking for a discount won’t work here. I’m a tough negotiator and won’t discount my fees.
When it comes to buying your property I’m going to negotiate equally as hard for you and your money to keep as much money in your pocket as possible. In fact, what I’ll save you in negotiating is even more than the fee you’ll pay us.
I stand behind our pricing and when we meet I will demonstrate why we it’s worth paying for a true professional. After I show you our results and how a cheaper advocate lost their clients multiple opportunities and cost others an additional $40K-$80K due to bad buyer advocacy work, you will WANT to pay the right amount to get the right service.
Investors looking to Flip Property
Our investing philosophy work best for people who are looking to grow a portfolio of property steadily, one property at a time in a safe and strategic manner. (We do assist investors with more advance strategies like buying for subdivision, renovation and future development, but clients must be looking for a longer term project not a quick flip).
Investors looking for very high or positive cash flow investment properties
They do not exist in Melbourne, however we know which areas and property types to target to get you the highest yielding, growth asset we can.
WHAT PRICE RANGE DO YOU TYPICALLY WORK WITH?
We work with clients with budgets of $500,000 up to $5,000,000.
