I’m just going to say it. Some buyer’s agents are I’m just going to say it.
Some buyer’s agents are straight-out horrible.
Some of them genuinely don’t care about you.

And I know this because I see the properties they buy.

I do the tax depreciation schedules on them.
I do the investment property reviews when clients are in tears because the property is an absolute lemon.
And I used to value properties for the banks — so I know what a quality property looks like… and what is absolute rubbish.

You need to be very careful who you engage.

Because if you’re treated like just another number,
they’re going to treat your finances like just another number.

You’ll spend more time choosing a toaster than you do choosing a property.

And here’s a big red flag:
If you’re dealing with two or three different people in the process, chances are… they don’t care about you.

I will die on this hill:
Buyer’s agents need to be held more accountable for the quality of what they buy.

Now — I know some amazing buyer’s agents.
I happily refer to them.
But if I know someone is terrible, I will tell you straight.

And I tell my clients every day:
Do not settle for crap.

Agents need to take more accountability —
but you also need to pull your head out and make sure you’re not just hiring a buyer’s agent for the sake of it.

I wish you all the best,
and I genuinely hope this video helps.

But please…
be careful out there.
I know what adds value to your home. And I know wh I know what adds value to your home.
And I know what wastes your money.

Because I’m a Valuer.
It’s what I’ve studied.
It’s what I’m paid to do.

So if you want to know what really adds value.
Don’t guess.
Ask a Valuer.
Ask me.
This is one TAX change I’m not a fan of. Not just This is one TAX change I’m not a fan of. Not just because I work in property, or because I invest myself, but because I don’t think it solves the real problem.

Sure, it might make a small, immediate difference, but smart property investors adapt quickly. They’ll find loopholes, change strategies, and work around the system. This won’t fix affordability.

What we need is better solutions. We’re in a housing shortage. We need more properties. Maybe we rethink how investors buy properties, limit numbers, then introduce tax changes, but applying this across the board with no grandfathering? That’s shortsighted.

I want this to be an open discussion. How will this affect you? Do you have a better idea? Agree? Disagree? And if you’re someone with influence, please read the comments and share your thoughts. I’d love to hear them.
It’s not about what your home is worth after a ren It’s not about what your home is worth after a renovation. 

It’s about what you make once you subtract what you spent.

The only number that matters is the gap between the money spent and the money made.

There’s no point spending $1 million to add $1 million in value.
That’s not a profit that’s just hard work for zero return.

The real skill is knowing how to spend the least amount of money to add the most amount of value and finding that sweet spot.

And it’s not just money you need to count.
You also need to factor in:
• Time
• Rent if you have to move out
• Living in a construction site
• The inconvenience to your life
• Moving in with family 💛

Renovation isn’t a simple equation.
It’s a strategy.

Always understand the gap between what you spend and what you make.

Hope this helps and if you want to work with me, slide into my DMs ✨
