We look for items of the home that were removed or damaged which the contract exclusively included as part of the contract of sale. We ensure the state of the home has not drastically changed or been left in a poor condition from previous owners and tenants.

Our Adelaide buyer’s agents will also ensure their clients arrange insurance on the property upon exchanging contracts to cover any risk that can arise leading up to the settlement date.

Analysing the performance of your property portfolio is essential to ensure your goals for building long term wealth and passive income. We can assess the rental return and capital growth of each property and compare with comparative listings and suburbs to determine which properties are under performing.

With this information we can make recommendations as to how to re-strategise your property portfolio and improve its performance, whether that means, adding value via cosmetic renovations, revaluing the property and using equity to secure another or even selling a property to free up capital that can be worked harder in a better suburb.
