Buy a profitable NZ rental — without leaving your couch.
We're a buyers agency built for time-poor Kiwis. Many of our clients buy for the first time, or where they don't live.
Our local specialists hunt on-market and off-market, facilitate the due diligence, negotiate, and connect you with a team — you give feedback as we go, and otherwise relax and enjoy the thrill of buying well.
NZ markets Served
The first investment property is usually the hardest to buy.
Most Kiwis who start looking never buy. Not because the deal isn't out there — but because buying well takes time, connections, experience and access to deals, it's hard when you're new at this, far away, and busy..
Open homes are weekend-only.
By the time most first-time investors get to a property worth buying, active local investors have viewed and got their offers in.
You often don't know what 'good' looks like.
Yield, cashflow, reports, potential — a bad deal will set you back, but it takes time and experience to develop a gut feel in your target area.
Some deals never list.
Most off-market deals move through agent networks before they ever hit Trade Me. If you're not in the network, you're bidding against people who are.
From day one to settled — usually 8 to 12 weeks.
Five stages. This is the process we have followed with hundreds of Kiwi investors to keep them safe, while helping them buy well. You get your weekends back; we do the heavy lifting.
Map your goals to real criteria.
After your free strategy call we introduce you to a broker and accountant. Goals become a one-page brief: budget, yield, region, deal-killers.
We hunt on-market and off-market.
Our agents work full-time to cultivate local agent networks. We see properties before the listing photos go up.
Numbers crunched. Risks flagged.
Yield, cashflow at today's rates, Healthy-Homes, inspections, LIM analysis. We put together an offer strategy based on the upside in a deal.
Negotiate, due-diligence, settle.
We negotiate on your behalf, coordinate building reports, valuations and information for your own team. You stay informed without doing the legwork.
First becomes second becomes portfolio.
We're in for the long haul. Most of our clients come back for property #2, #3 and beyond.
We are not pushy.
We keep you safe through the process.
We've watched the investment buying industry build itself around urgency, hype, and image. Not our style, so we took a different turn — and have pretty much stayed this way for 17 years.
Rush, rush, rush.
- Listing agent paid by the vendor — incentive is to sell, not to fit you.
- "Sign today or lose it." The deal that had been sitting there is now a multi-offer, and you're under pressure.
- Generic property suggestions — same shortlist every client gets.
- You are left to find your own property manager, inspectors and trades.
- Once you sign, the relationship ends.
Calm, strategic, on your side.
- We work for you & only you. Our job is to get you the best possible deal.
- If the deal isn't right we tell you to pass on it.
- We make a plan for offer, negotiation, due diligence and (when applicable) later upgrades.
- We introduce the property manager, inspectors and trades that we work with ourselves. .
- Most clients come back for their second, third and fourth property.
Kiwis we've helped buy their first, second and fifth rentals.

"We were a little hesitant on working with buyers' agents. From day one, Dean made the whole process feel less overwhelming. His honesty is rare, and we appreciated it so much."

"I purchased my first property in December, and Leanne was the property finder who supported me through the entire process. Without Leanne and the iFindProperty team, I genuinely do not believe I would have been able to secure this property."

"Stephen was incredibly professional, knowledgeable and approachable. He saved us a huge amount of time and stress — we were very grateful to get our weekends back. Our only regret is not using this service sooner."
