By understanding and identifying the exact needs of our clients, we can seek out the most profitable property investments in Australia; handpicked carefully to align with their personal goals. We believe passionately in our property selection. The Positive Real Estate “Creed” sums up our commitment and belief in our stringent selection of the investment properties we offer our clients.

THE POSITIVE REAL ESTATE CREED

We at Positive Real Estate know that we have the ability to achieve the definite purpose in business; therefore, we demand excellence of ourselves that is a persistent, continuous action towards its attainment and we here and now promise to render such action.
We fully realise that no wealth or position can long endure unless built upon true goodwill; therefore, we will engage in no transaction, which does not benefit all whom it effects.

We never stop striving for the top, to always keep moving forward, to always be the very best a company can be.

About The Professional Property Acquisitions Team
Our experienced Acquisitions Department is constantly kept up-to-date with property news and trends occurring throughout the whole of Australia from trusted knowledgeable and well researched sources such as Residex and RP Data, PDS LIVE and various Economic and valuation reports. We ensure that the only properties we acquire fulfils a high rating for a strong financial outcome.

Positive Real Estate analyses over five hundred different properties every week and spends time assembling the best properties in market places for our clientele.

Much of what Positive Real Estate does to acquire a property listing is never widely publicised nor sceen by our clients.  We understand that buying real estate often involves a sales hungry real estate agent and this combined with an often eager (however mostly uneducated)  investor can often lead to a toxic disaster that takes years to unfold.

Buyers often don’t realise that the most trivial and innocent of actions, like buying in the wrong suburb, town or market can add years to their wealth creation plan!

Real estate agents should be judged by what they have done along the way and more importantly, how their followers have performed along the way.

The Positive Real Estate property deals have been judged and the results are in; performing at around 15% better than what is available in the broader market place and we have helped thousands of buyers get out of the rat race with a well thought out investment plan and carefully selected properties. The reasons our investments perform so well is that Positive Real Estate has an extraordinarily intense and rigid screening system for properties.

So if you really think about it, time is costly – how much time do you have to research real estate? How much time do you have to spend putting in offers?
If you spend all day every day in the real estate market (networking and negotiating with key players) do you think you are going to find a better deal? Of course you are! The more you do something the better you get at it!

However the problem with many unsuccessful property investors is that they go out on a weekend, scour websites and papers (in their minimal amount of time off) and spend five to ten minutes looking over a piece of real estate and then…..BANG, they buy it! It’s impulsive, it’s emotional and potentially it’s very very costly!

The Benefits of Accessing the Positive Real Estate Buyers Agency & Acquisitions Team
Most investors don’t have the right team surrounding them. Many people simply get a broker and then a lawyer to exchange on a property deal …..and that’s it! People wander around the market, thinking they know what they are buying or doing – yet really they are investing their hard earned money on a whim. In truth, they are buying emotionally; it’s just what they think is right to buy – and it’s an ideal in their head.

Too often than not, people spend too much money on real estate and realistically they should have bought it for much less…Or even not at all. This is where a full service buyer’s agency behind you to assist you in making the most secure and profitable decisions is crucial when making financial and property investment choices – simply because it’s their job to know the market and where will be the next money making hotspot.

Who do we pay for research? Due diligence costs money but is extremely important so we consider it an investment. Positive Real Estate spends $250,000 a year on due diligence. This is made up from, economic reports from leading economists, reports from leading property strategists, live market data including – RP Data, PDs Live and Residex reporting. Additionally the Buyer’s Agency offers due diligence to unparalleled standards for clients – leaving no stone unturned to seek out the most profitable deals in the market. Through thoroughly saturating ourselves in the Australian real estate markets we are masterful at our craft. We provide a valuations for all properties; these can include reports from Australia’s leading valuation firms such as Herron Todd White. We will often also provide building reporting, to ensure the second hand properties we broker are structurally sound.

What types of research do we accumulate? At Positive Real Estate, we recognise the importance of knowing your numbers when considering an investment opportunity. For every property we source, we compile a comprehensive Property Investment Report; a 60 page report on each and every property that contains a culmination of the following data:

• An extensive property overview surmising strategies, growth drivers, Government infrastructure approvals and much more
• Price details
• Tenancy terms, details and precise rental returns
• A detailed description of finishings, fittings and inclusions
• A breakdown of the location and surrounding details; such as locality to schools, shops, transport etc
• Comparable sales of the suburb
• Official valuations
• Meticulous breakdowns of property financial details
• Cashflow analysis
• Highly detailed site and floor plans
• Capital growth rates
• Demographic breakdown charts and analysis for investments
• Investment report and media coverage on the area
• Complete explanation of lending criteria
• Economic forecast of the location zeroing in on macro investment particulars

What types of industry relationships have we built and who with – over how many years?

The relationships Positive Real Estate have established over the years are a result of the “closed market” relationships that are forged through a decade of trading; these are the benefits our clients can tap into. The “closed market” deals far exceed the sum of the “open market” transactions and relationships we forge. An “open market” deal means our buyers agency has to fight other investors in the market to get the deal. Deals we enable through our “closed market” abilities are far more exciting and far more highly predisposed towards results than what a typical buyer can find on the “open market” – meaning real estate websites or newspapers. Drawing listings from the “closed market” requires the use of our specialised knowledge in leveraging networks of investors and marketing mediums targeted specifically at sellers.

What services do we provide as a buyer’s agent? Positive Real Estate has recently expanded its acquisition ability, by implementing a project management department to oversee specialised client renovations. This allows buyers to renovate or add-value to a property interstate and conduct a renovation or even add a granny flat for profits without ever having to set foot on the property. This service is unique, as we have been able to combine our researching, negotiating and action skills to take old worn properties and turn them around on behalf of buyers.

Positive Real Estate Buyer’s Agency has extensive experience navigating the many challenges a property market delivers and is indignant (wrong word choice) in selecting exclusive deals in the right markets. We use proven investment strategies to achieve the varying finance goals and needs of our clients.

All properties we source for our clients meet our extremely strict financial criteria. The property team pre-negotiate the purchase price of the properties and secure terms that favour the investor. Unlike other real estate agents, we provide clients with the comprehensive documentation and research required to make an informed decision about an investment property.

For every 10 deals we are presented with each week by willing sellers we may select just one deal that we feel is suitable to present to our clients. We adapt the philosophy of John West and we only select the very best!

“It’s the fish John West rejects, that make John West the best.[1]”.

Multiple factors contribute to a successful investment and our team can tell a good property within minutes.
