We're a buyers agency built for time poor investors, often buying for the first time. 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 investing.
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, or both.
By the time most first-time investors get to a property worth buying, active local investors have viewed and got their offers in.
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.
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.
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.
We introduce you to a broker and accountant. Goals become a one-page brief: budget, yield, region, deal-killers.
Our agents work full-time to cultivate local agent networks. We see properties before the listing photos go up.
Yield, cashflow at today's rates, Healthy-Homes, inspections, LIM analysis. We put together an offer strategy based on the upside in a deal.
We negotiate on your behalf, coordinate building reports, valuations and information for your own team. You stay informed without doing the legwork.
We're in for the long haul. Most of our clients come back for property #2, #3 and beyond.
We've watched the investment buying industry build itself around urgency, hype, and image. Not our style, so we took a different turn — and stayed there for 17 years.
Hand-picked from 200+ written client testimonials at ifindproperty.co.nz/testimonials.
"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'm in the real estate industry myself. Early on Dean said "my job is to keep you safe" — and he did. He kept me out of flood zones and properties that looked good on the surface."
"The result speaks for itself — a 7.2% return in a popular rental area. On my own, I'd have struggled to find an investment that ticks all the boxes."
We'll talk through your goals, your budget, and your experiences. We will share some approaches to investing we think will work for you including location, type of property and strategy. If we're the right fit you'll know by the end of the call. If not, the strategy we share is yours to run with.
