Buy your own property.
With an experienced guide.

For your next purchase

A clearer brief.
A better buying process.

The search is easy to start. The harder questions come later: does this property suit me, does the price stack up, and what have I missed?

Use a repeatable process to sort the options, test your assumptions and prepare your next step.

• Write your buying brief: needs, trade-offs, locations, timing and a budget checked with your broker or lender.
• Compare properties consistently: use an inspection checklist and shortlist scorecard.
• Test the asking price: learn to compare relevant recent sales and explain the differences.
• Find the questions that need answers: property records, flood and planning checks, body corporate documents and specialist reports.
• Prepare an offer or auction plan: evidence, limits, questions for your solicitor and a clear next step.

Learn with Andrew Allen

A working buyer’s perspective.

Andrew has operated Allen Real Estate Buyers Agents since 2009. He brings practical experience as a buyer’s agent and mortgage broker to the questions buyers face before they commit.

The focus is useful preparation: understanding your brief, investigating a property, checking the evidence and recognising when to get specialist help.

Who this suits

First-home buyers, people moving home and buyers of an existing residential investment who want to manage their own purchase. The initial programme focuses on Brisbane and South East Queensland.

You should be willing to research, inspect and complete the exercises between sessions. Buyers planning a purchase in the next 3–12 months are the best fit.

If you need someone to find, inspect or negotiate a property for you, ask about Allen Real Estate’s separately quoted buyer’s agency services. Mentoring does not replace your solicitor, building inspector, broker or tax adviser.
