Property Investment in Australia

I've been in this Property Investment industry for over 16 years and I'm often asked this question, "How do you actually spot a Property?” Lots of people talk about property but what actually is it? In my view, there's actually three, I guess, people that you can take your information from in this property investment industry. The first person is the Salesperson who is not pretending to be anything other than a salesperson that's being employed by the developer to sell their product. They sit typically in the sales office, they invite enquiry and they try to sell one of the developer's product whether it is an off the plan apartment or a house and land package, they are very clear on what they do. On the other side of the equation, you got the advisor.

The true property investment advisor who has no stock list, no agenda, they want to find out exactly what is going on for the investor so they can work out what tailored solution they need to provide on behalf of the property investor. And then you've got this grey area in between. Because the sales person is not pretending to be anyone they are not and the property investment advisor is not trying to pretend to be anyone else that they are not but this person in the middle often masquerading as an advisor but they really are salespersons. That's the property valuer brisbane.

The reason they are doing that is because there's extraordinarily high income on offer for any salesperson that can actually get a transaction done in the real estate part. So the challenge I have is not whether you are buying it for one of this three people but it's about masquerading something that you are not. Property really preys on ignorance, fear and greed. That's their tool kit to try enticing you into buying one of the products that they are going to be paid very handsomely on if you facilitate or they facilitate the transaction.
