Which Buyer’s Agency of the Year awards has InvestorKit won?

InvestorKit won REB Buyer’s Agency of the Year in 2023, 2024 and 2026. The awards recognise the agency; they are not a guarantee of investment performance.

How should I compare buyer’s agencies?

Ask each agency to explain its research, the markets it covers, who will work with you, its fees and conflicts of interest, and what happens after settlement. Request examples of the work and confirm the agreed scope in writing. The right choice depends on the support you need.

What does InvestorKit mean by strategy first?

We start with your goals, budget, borrowing position and existing portfolio. That informs the buying brief, market research and property selection. A discovery call is an initial conversation about fit and next steps; it does not deliver a completed investment strategy.

Do you buy Australia-wide or only in certain cities?

InvestorKit researches markets across Australia. The search is narrowed using your brief and the market evidence, rather than assuming your home city is the right place to invest.

Is an off-market property automatically a better investment?

No. Off-market describes how a property is sourced, not its quality or value. A property still needs research, comparable-sales analysis and due diligence, whether it is advertised publicly or sourced through agent relationships.

How do you assess the risk of buying the wrong property?

We assess the market and the individual property against the buying brief, including price, rental conditions and property-specific issues. Your solicitor, building inspector and other qualified advisers have their own roles. Research and due diligence help inform a decision; they cannot remove investment risk.

What are the fees, and what is included?

Ask us to explain the fee, when it is payable and the service inclusions for your situation. Compare the written scope as well as the price, including research, sourcing, due diligence, negotiation and ongoing support. Your engagement agreement sets out the services you are buying.

Who is InvestorKit best suited to?

We work with people seeking help to plan and execute a property investment, including busy professionals, first-time investors and existing portfolio owners. You can discuss a single purchase or a broader portfolio goal. The first call helps establish whether our service fits your needs.

Can you help with commercial property or an SMSF purchase?

InvestorKit offers residential and commercial buyer’s agency services. If you are considering an SMSF purchase, discuss your situation with appropriately licensed financial, tax and lending advisers first. The discovery call can clarify the property acquisition support we provide.

How long does buying a property take?

Timing depends on your readiness, finance, the buying brief and suitable opportunities. We discuss the process and expected timing with you before you engage. A faster purchase is not a reason to skip due diligence or buy outside your brief.

What do the client stories tell me about likely results?

They show individual decisions and experiences at the time each story was published. They do not establish a typical return or predict your outcome. Read the context and the process behind each story, as well as its headline.

What happens after I book a discovery call?

Enter your details and buying position, then choose an available time. On the free call, we discuss your goals, budget and timeline, explain how we work and agree on a sensible next step. There is no obligation to engage.

Compare buyer’s agencies

The difference is in
the decisions before the keys.

A busy week should not force a rushed property decision. Get clear on how an agency does the work, what it takes off your plate and where you stay in control.

What to look out for

A purchase without the bigger picture.

When you compare buyer’s agencies, ask what sits behind the property recommendation.

A property before a plan
You see a promising listing, but cannot explain how it fits your budget, cash flow or longer-term goals.
A postcode before the research
The search starts in a familiar suburb, without comparing the alternatives or testing local supply and demand.
An off-market label instead of evidence
Access sounds impressive. The price, rental assumptions and property risks still need to stack up.
No clear next step after settlement
You get the keys, but have no agreed way to review the property or decide what comes next.

The InvestorKit approach

Your goals. A connected property strategy.

Research, acquisition and ongoing support work together around your situation.

Start with your position
Understand your goals, borrowing position and existing portfolio before defining the buying brief.
Compare markets nationally
Assess supply, demand, rental conditions and affordability, then narrow the search to markets that suit the brief.
Make the recommendation explainable
Combine market research, property due diligence and comparable sales. You understand the reasoning and keep the final say.
Keep the portfolio in view
Use ongoing portfolio support to revisit your position and discuss future decisions. Confirm the inclusions in your agreement.
