Our Strategy
STAGE 1: SITE SOURCING
We source sites of all sizes and then match the seller to our database of developers. Finding hidden sites is our speciality due to the excellent rapport and long established relationships that we have with local residents, mums and dads and past clients. We offer home-owners an obligation free appraisal of their property’s development potential irrespective of whether they are considering selling now or in the future. This service provides home owners with an understanding of the true value of their allotment in the current market.


STAGE 2: DESIGN FEASIBILITY ASSESSMENT
With links to every facet of the real estate industry and an established network of related service professionals including designers, conveyancers and solicitors to assist you with every aspect of your project, we have the knowledge of market demand and current trends to maximise commercial success. We can confidently assist developers in the design process and provide a report that discusses the projects viability in the current market.
STAGE 3: MARKETING AND SALES
A key advantage that we offer is our ability to procure sales off the plan and obtain pre-sales for builders and developers prior to the commencement of construction.
- We prepare a report updating prevailing market conditions.
- We match and market product to our database of prospective unit buyers.
- We co-ordinate the creation of all marketing collateral including, rendered images, sketches, floor plans and elevations.
- We co-ordinate advertisement placement in print and electronic media.
- We are innovators in the provision of video presentations to illustrate the building concept and lifestyle opportunities.
- We prepare rental appraisals so you can assess return on investment.
- We understand the difference in our buyers and how to manage them. With our extensive experience, we recognise the importance of identifying the right project for the right developer, the right investment for the right budget. We know that a site that may be worth $500,000 requires a purchaser that has a spending capacity of $1m for development and construction. Our network of contacts is filled with suitable purchasers that understand and meet these requirements.
- We can organise marketing material that best represents the finished product to make “off the plan” sales more attainable.
