It's Tiff from You&Me Personalised Property Services, the buying agency for you. I'm the director of acquisitions in Queensland, and I'm here today to tell you a little bit about our process, how we work with our clients and what exactly it is that we do.
00:00:25:09 - 00:00:48:21
So our first step is to sit down with our clients and do what we call a discovery meeting. It gives you a really good opportunity to get to know me, to ask lots of questions, to have all your questions answered, and to walk away from that meeting really understanding exactly what our services, what our value proposition is, and how we'll be helping you.
00:00:48:23 - 00:01:13:13
From there, if you decide to move ahead with us, we'll send you out your engagement documentation and get you all signed up with the legalities. We'll book you in for a deep dive. And that's where all of the excitement starts. So what is a deep dive? A deep dive is an opportunity for us to get deep into your brain and extract all the information about what you're looking for in a property.
00:01:13:15 - 00:01:37:22
So we'll sometimes have investors that come forward and say, I'm not really sure what's good. That deep dive session is an excellent opportunity for us to collaborate with you, to provide you with some feedback and insights about what's happening in the market, where we see value based on the price point that you're working with. If you're an owner occupier, you might have really strong ideas about what you're looking for.
00:01:37:23 - 00:02:15:06
We need to be in this suburb. We are looking at this school catchment, we need this many bedrooms. So that deep dive is where we set a brief for you. And that brief will inform all of the work that we do. From there. So once we've all agreed on a brief, we get started with our work. So we cast on net wide and we search for as many properties as we can find on market, off market through our various opportunities and channels, so that we can give you the maximum amount of properties to consider that meet your brief. We will take comprehensive videos of the properties.
00:02:15:09 - 00:02:35:12
We'll give you reports. We will give you really, really good information so that you can see exactly what the property is, what the condition of the property is. What I like to do with my clients is when I'm walking through a home, I'll point out any little bits and pieces that I want them to see. So, for example, we should look at replacing the carpet.
00:02:35:17 - 00:02:58:13
And that just gives you an excellent idea about the condition of the property and any potential work that you might need to do. Once we get to a point where there's one or multiple properties that you're interested in pursuing we will commence on negotiations. So we will get into the thick of it with the selling agents, will work on our due diligence.
00:02:58:13 - 00:03:24:02
We'll get our reports together and across to you, and we'll have all the conversations about what our strategy is going to be to secure that property. Once we've taken things through that negotiating phase, and we've secured the right property for you at the right price, will arrange your building and pest inspection. We will get all of those kinds of things going for you will get your contracts across to the financier.
00:03:24:02 - 00:03:45:03
If you're using finance to purchase, we'll get the contract across to the conveyancer. We'll make sure you know exactly what you need to do, what's expected of you, and we'll run around and do the rest for you. Once we have got your finance and all of those kinds of things happening and valuations, audit and whatnot, we've got our building and pest inspection done.
00:03:45:06 - 00:04:05:13
If there's anything that comes up on the building inspection, we'll talk to you about those things. So what would be the cost to remedy these items? Are they so serious that we might want to terminate the contract? Or do we want to talk to the seller about potential reduction in price so that you can make those things good after we've taken occupation of the property?
00:04:05:15 - 00:04:32:10
So we'll do that process for you as well. And then we'll take you right through to settlement. So anything that pops up, anything that happens, we are absolutely across everything. And the day before or the day of settlement will conduct your pre settlement inspection, which is a really integral part of the process to ensure that the property is being handed over to you in the same condition that it was in at the time that you bought it.
00:04:32:12 - 00:04:54:12
So that's generally what the process looks like. Where the most time is spent is in that property search phase, reporting phase and that negotiating phase. So that's where we do a lot of the work. And we find for our clients that we get them from the time that we complete a deep dive, we get them into a contract between 2 and 6 weeks.
00:04:54:12 - 00:05:35:12
So the process can move really, really quickly. Because we're very efficient. We make sure that we have taken a good comprehensive brief from you at the deep dive session, which then enables us to port properties to you that are suitable and that meet your needs. So instead of you being frustrated and looking at listing, after listing and so many different things that actually don't meet any of your needs, you can just go to one place where you've got multiple properties, many opportunities, many different things to consider that all tick the boxes so you get the luxury to choose the perfect property instead of just a property that will do.
00:05:35:18 - 00:05:57:01
So if you're looking for a buying agent, if you have been searching and searching and searching for six months and haven't found the right home, if you're living interstate and you're an investor looking to invest in Brisbane but you're not too sure about this market, you're not really sure where you should be buying. If you're a business owner or somebody who's time poor, we are the agency for you.
00:05:57:03 - 00:05:59:22
So please give us a call.
