Every Penny Was Worth It: Our Client Imtiaz’s Review

Imtiaz lives in Western Sydney and has been there for more than ten years. He works as a project management consultant, and his wife is a GP. He and his wife were looking at property as an investment, and they were open to buying anywhere in Australia that gave a good outcome.

He bought a property in Mildura, Victoria, using his self-managed super fund (SMSF).

Imtiaz says that with his limited knowledge, he wanted to understand how a property would hold its value in the future, what the rental income would be, and what the cash flow would look like. His biggest fear was whether he was choosing the right place to buy, wherever in Australia that might be.

The problem was data. He says they did not have the knowledge or the data source to prove that the decision would be correct. That is why they decided they could not do the research themselves and needed a buyer’s agent.

Imtiaz was shopping around for a buyer’s agent when he came across Prime Pursuit Properties. He says he had also had strategy calls with other buyer’s agents before choosing us. Looking back, he calls going with Prime Pursuit one of the best decisions he made.

Asked what the strategy call was worth, Imtiaz did not hesitate. He calls it a game changer. His call with Zaeem was the best of the ones he had, because it was informal, not a formal pitch. Zaeem showed him the ins and outs of the process without any contract in place.

Imtiaz is honest about the cost question. He says a good majority of people still do not know what a buyer’s agent does, and that those who do are often afraid of the cost and ask whether it is worth the money.

His own answer has changed.

He says the pre-sales and post-settlement service he received is what made the difference.

For Imtiaz, the service did not stop at the purchase.

His summary is that, for now, he does not have to worry about his property anymore.

Imtiaz and his wife signed the contract during the Christmas break, while they were overseas. Settlement was in March. He says that was a couple of months before a decision came in that, as he describes it, stops an SMSF buying residential property with a bank loan.

He says he feels blessed, because they did not know what was coming.

When asked what he would say to someone sitting on the fence with their savings, Imtiaz’s message is that you should not simply hold on to your money. In his view, you should invest it and let it grow.
