Rupinder and Jaspreet had a great experience building their own home, and it inspired them to invest with a mind towards developing. They met with a few Buyers Advocates, and eventually appointed us – partly because they wanted to deal with the Director of our business throughout.
We considered their budget and objectives, shared data explaining capital growth history, drivers, and projections, and suggested a few properties in a suburb that they’d never heard of.
R&J ruled out the first couple opportunities. It became clear that they didn’t want a big block; they weren’t interested in a 3+ townhouse site; they don’t like busy roads or any other with obvious ‘warts’. What they wanted was a property that would comfortably rent for years, and one that they could safely develop into 2 townhouses for future capital growth and rental return – eventually.
Andrew managed the search, planning and design, and build documentation process. They got along so well that Rupinder decided to work with us as a Client Relationship Manager.
