Azure Buyers Agents

Taking inspiration from my grandfather, who built residential homes, I started investing in property in my early 20s, generating wealth through six investment properties I purchased over five years. After a few years of carefully buying and selling homes, my wife and I were able to sell three investment properties from our portfolio to purchase our family home. 

As an experienced property investor, I know how to diversify portfolios. I have purchased property both local to me and interstate. Taking the time to analyse the yields and growth trajectory of homes ahead of making an offer, I held homes in Sydney, Dubbo, Queensland and Tasmania. 

Today, my specialism is finding homes for others in southeast Victoria. There is where I grew up, and it’s where I am raising a family. My knowledge of the suburbs, streets, and lifestyles on offer makes me the best buyers agent to engage in unearthing the property gems across Bayside, Kingston and the Mornington Peninsula.

Director & Buyers Agent

Empower Wealth

Working in this high-volume buyers agency, I averaged 60 to 80 homes purchased yearly. Working alongside ex-selling agents, valuers and mortgage brokers, I became a fully-fledged buyers agent after only 12 months as an associate. I then worked my way up to become the team manager, providing training and development to new associates.

Finding that perfect property is like finding a gemstone. There’s a buzz to being a buyers agent, from unearthing your dream home to navigating the complexities of the property deal. 

Property in southeast Victoria is in strong demand. There are many affordable houses, and the lifestyle on offer is truly enviable. The schools are excellent, and the transport infrastructure allows residents to reach Melbourne City easily by car or train. 

As a well-known buyers agent in the region, I’ve bought homes from Elwood to Mornington. My speciality is finding investment-grade properties (even if clients will live in them themselves). With an extensive network and 1,000+ property professionals in my database, I hear first about off-market properties and can give my clients the first-mover advantage. I am also well-connected with mortgage brokers, selling agents, accountants and financial planners. 

As a buyers agent, I love helping clients refine their strategy and get into a position to move quickly when the right property comes along. I need to understand the client’s budget and price ceiling, and I always advise people to be finance ready (pre-approved for a loan) before making an offer. 

It’s essential for my clients to feel part of the journey, but ultimately, I know my skills and knowledge guide and educate them about an area they often lack expertise in and give them the confidence to move forward with a property purchase.

Everyone can put themselves in a robust financial position and build wealth through property. Engage me as your buyer’s agent, and I will work tirelessly to find the very best property for your budget.

Founder & Buyers Agent

Australian Property Home Loans

As an ex Accountant moving into the role of Director and Mortgage Broker of Australian Property Home Loans, I initially managed the APAC operations of the business, which was founded by me in Singapore in 2015.  The business was set up to cater to non resident borrowers, who were buying Australian property off the plan.

It was when I moved back to Australia that I then moved into the local market and the hands on mortgage broking area of the business, focusing on educating clients about financial literacy and independence, while providing quality, bespoke home loan solutions to consumers.  

Catering to first home buyers, next home buyers and investors, Australian Property Home Loans has a panel of over 40 lenders to choose from when it comes to aligning policies, products and borrowers to their overall goals and objectives.

With personal, first hand experience of buying my first home at a young age - as well as owning multiple investment properties - Australian Property Home Loans prides itself on having an informative, sophisticated approach with clients and providing consultative solutions.  

Every customer receives detailed, relevant guidance while developing a plan to get them to their overall goal - with no less than 5 star customer service.  And that is the APHL difference., serving all of Australia.

At Australian Property Home Loans, I help cut through the confusion, hesitation, and stress that often surrounds getting a home loan - and with an Accounting background, can offer a different level of strategy.  

Whether you’re a first-home buyer, upgrading to your next property, searching for your dream home, or building an investment portfolio, my focus is on education, strategy, and delivering outcomes that give you back your time... and your confidence. You don’t need to be perfect to get started, my role is to translate your current scenario into a successful result, using data, experience and a commitment to your goals.

With access to nearly 50 lenders and hundreds of loan products, I offer plenty of choice, as well as a tailor made strategy based on our discussions.  Every loan strategy is tailored around your needs, as opposed to the view of one bank and their limited product range.  I crunch the numbers, design a plan, and guide you through every step of the process, so you’re not left guessing or overwhelmed.  It’s ensuring that you understand your options, feel prepared, and are in a position to make confident property decisions.

Having bought my first property in my early 20s, the lack of education and support in that space was very evident - and my business has been set up to address that gap.  I understand know what it takes to build a property portfolio foundation, and grow from it. 

That’s why I believe the secret is always in the numbers.. and the structure of your home loan.  When you are able to see clearly, you can act with certainty - and more importantly, feel empowered.  And that’s where success starts!
