YOUR BUYER’S AGENT
WHAT IS A REGISTERED BUYER’S AGENT AND HOW CAN ONE HELP YOU?
HOW WE CAN HELP YOU
Every property buyer is different. Everyone has their own goals, strengths, weaknesses and fears. As your Buyer’s Agent, we form a team with you to ensure that you are on track to achieve your specific goals and that any weaknesses or fears you have are covered by our skill set.
We give you back time (hello Saturdays!), we liaise and negotiate with real estate agents on your behalf, whilst providing our expertise in the planning, research and selection process that you’d otherwise be missing out on - saving you money.
WHAT WE DO
The property purchasing process has always been skewed heavily in favour of the vendor. When you work with Investify as your Buyer’s Agent, we redress that imbalance.
Hamada Alameddine, along with his 18 years of property investment experience, is in your corner in the research, selection, negotiation, settlement and post-settlement process. In short, he holds your hand throughout the entire real estate purchase process, allowing you to get the best result possible.

BUYING YOUR DREAM HOME
SECURING YOUR IDEAL HOME WITHOUT PROFESSIONAL ADVICE
CAN BE COSTLY, DIFFICULT AND TIME CONSUMING
HEAD OVER HEART
In addition to re-gaining your time and saving money in making the right property selection, another key benefit of working with a quality Buyer’s Agent is the layer of analytics and negotiation that is put between you and the vendor’s real estate agent.
No doubt about it, buying a home is an emotional decision. There are a lot of factors that go into identifying that new house or apartment where your family will create memories. Despite this, all reason doesn’t have to go out the door.
Having Hamada on your side means that he can take into account your selection requirements and use them to find the ideal home, free of the distortion that comes with emotion.
When it comes time to negotiate on price, or bid at an auction, many home buyers find themselves paying above the odds, due to both inexperience and an understandable inability to separate their emotion from the very analytical decision-making process of a purchase of this magnitude.
As your Buyer’s Agent, it is our job to ensure that your head makes the right decisions to secure the home your heart will love.
GET BACK YOUR SATURDAYS!
We all know of people who have given up a year of Saturdays at open homes and auctions and still don’t feel any closer to securing the home of their dreams. In fact, it’s been so long, they’re not quite sure what that mythical home looks like any more.
The property search, inspection and selection process is a time-consuming and complex one. You can’t be expected to step straight in and be an expert. The pitfalls of getting it wrong can amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost cash, along with the ongoing stress and time sacrifices that put strain on families and relationships.
Hamada understands these challenges all too well and founded Investify with a burning desire to give families back their Saturdays - stress free!
As your Buyer’s Agent, he does all of the research, visits potential properties and provides you with reports on your options, before taking things to the next level. He knows all of tips and tricks and importantly, puts you in a position to calmly choose between your options without the strain of rushing between hundreds of properties.
PROPERTY INVESTMENT
WEALTH CREATION IS BUILT VIA STRATEGIC DECISIONS AND QUALITY RESEARCH
WORK SMART, NOT HARD
Smart investment strategy comes down to analytics, research, patience, relationships and years of experience. Unless you’re a professional real estate investor, you’re forgiven if you don’t possess all of these attributes.
Hamada uses his depth of experience in property investment, in combination with his access to the latest data and market analysis, to take the heavy lifting out of your property search. As your Buyer’s Agent, he is driven to seek out the options that will best fit your investment strategy.
When it comes time to inspect the property, negotiate on price, or bid at auctions, we can take care of all of that for you - even if your ideal investment is interstate.
In working with Investify as your wealth creation partner, you get to sit back, strategically assess the options put in front of you and flip the switch to go ahead when you feel comfortable that we have ticked all the boxes toward your investment goals.
Let’s have a chat about taking the next steps toward your wealth creation strategy.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR GOALS
Every investor has a very unique set of circumstances that ladder up to their wealth creation ambitions. Before we dive headlong into a property search, the first step we take with you is to intimately understand your personal circumstances right now and where you want to be in the future.
Property investment without a plan is like setting out on a driving holiday without a roadmap; it’s going to make for a long and bumpy ride, with an uncertain and possibly disappointing destination. At Investify, we much prefer to inject as much certainty as we possibly can into your financial future.
Wouldn’t you agree?
Some investors are seeking a short-term capital gain, others have long-term views toward retirement. Some want to ensure a dependable yield from their property portfolio, to create a passive income stream. We sit down with you from the very beginning, to ensure that we are going down the right path toward the right investment property for you.
Then we can start planning for the next one after that.
HOW WE HELP YOU
OUR END-To-END PROCESS
Investify Buyer’s Agents can assist you at every step in the property purchase process. No matter what your needs, we are here to ensure that you source the right property, get the right research and negotiate and settle effectively. The relationship doesn’t stop after settlement either - we make sure that you are on track to continue building your property portfolio.
SOURCE
/01 SOURCE: Once we have sat down with you to understand the finer details of your property requirements - whether that be as a residential home or as an investment property - we get to work on sourcing the ideal property for you.
In a location that suits you;
At a price that works for your budget; and
With the attributes that we agree you’re seeking.
We provide you with a shortlist of properties as we source them, allowing you to determine if you’d like to go further.
RESEARCH
/02 RESEARCH: Armed with our well-curated shortlist of properties, we get to work on researching their finer details, using:
Market research and analysis tools and data;
Our expertise and experience, built upon years of investigating similar properties; and
Time spent on the ground, inspecting the properties to identify their potential strengths and risks.
The attention to detail that we engage in, combined with our industry knowledge, results in a pin-pointed result that suits your requirements and that will ultimately please you as a buyer.
NEGOTIATE
/03 NEGOTIATE: For over a century, real estate agents have existed as a profession, with the purpose of promoting the interests of property owners in selling their real estate. Importantly, whilst vendors have had these professional negotiators working on their behalf in the sale process, most buyers on the other end of the equation have tended to have no representation.
This lopsided equation leads to inequality of outcomes when it comes to price, terms and conditions and long-term outcomes. In short, failing to have a buyer’s agent can cost you tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in poor negotiating or auction bidding strategy.
We assist you with the negotiation of everything from price (whether that involve our attendance at the auction or via private treaty sale) to terms and conditions. The goal: getting to that all important exchange of contracts.
SETTLEMENT
/04 SETTLEMENT: You’ve won the property, you’re elated. Then comes the realisation that the settlement process is a whole new beast to tackle!
We are here to ensure that this process is a relative breeze for you, as we work to achieve your ideal outcome. Firstly, we take care of the pre-settlement inspection with you.
Many buyers wouldn’t have the first idea (outside of google) on how to find the right solicitor or conveyancer. This is where our experience and connections can come into play to help find the right one, or work with your existing legal team to drive the entire process to completion.
POST SETTLEMENT
/05 POST SETTLEMENT: Congratulations on your property purchase. Whilst you celebrate, we are already thinking about how we can assist you in terms of:
Liaising with property/strata managers or your finance broker
Strategically planning the logical next step in your wealth creation strategy / property portfolio
Providing you with professional advice and answering any ongoing questions or thoughts you have
One of our guiding principles is that we are not simply transactional in our relationships with clients - we are in it for the long haul, with the intent of working with you over the course of many decades into your retirement and financial independence.
“Vendors have real estate agents, buyers have buyer’s agents.”
