What are you looking to invest in?
Step01

We do not teach this.
We live it.

Fewer than 1% of Australians will ever own more than five investment properties. Between the two of us we own 19, worth $16m, producing $910k of rent a year. We built that on salaries, in the same market you are buying into.

Step02

You do not run out of money.
You run out of capacity.

Almost nobody stops at one or two properties because they ran out of deposit. They stop because the bank stops saying yes, and nobody warned them it was coming. We model your borrowing ceiling, cashflow and equity for 25 years before you buy anything.

Step03

The team who will actually buy for you.

Two directors who own what they recommend, and three buyers advocates who have personally transacted more than 170 properties between them.

Step04

Population. Income. Infrastructure.

Every suburb passes a four-lens screen before a single property is considered. Twenty nine checks, grouped into three pillars. All three must clear their thresholds. One failure removes the suburb from the shortlist.
View our full due diligence checklist → Suburb screening is layer one. Every property then runs a physical, legal and financial filter.

Step06

Four guarantees, written into your engagement.

Not conditions. Not aspirations. These are contractual commitments written into your engagement, on the packages shown against each one.
All packages

Guarantee one

Finance protection

If you lose finance approval and cannot proceed with a purchase, we refund your retainer in full.

Care + Wealth Packages

Guarantee two

Property satisfaction

If you are not satisfied with the properties we present after three months, we refund your retainer.

Care + Wealth Packages

Guarantee three

$15,000
Below bank value

We only source deals that can be secured at least $15,000 below a Big 4 bank valuation at the time of contract. You are in front from the day you settle.

Wealth Package only

Guarantee four

10%
Capital growth in 12 months

Your property will deliver 10% capital growth within 12 months. If it does not, we refund our fees in full and we buy the property back from you.

All guarantees apply to residential properties only, and to the packages shown against each one. Terms and conditions apply.
Step07

From this call to a
tenanted property.

Thirteen stages, and you are standing at the first one right now. Nothing here is a surprise, and nothing happens without your sign off.
Step08

Options to engage.

Every engagement is $3,000 upfront, with the balance payable at settlement. Strategy is included in every package at no cost.
Step09

Lock this price in for multiple properties.

Commit to more than one purchase within the first 24 months and the price per property drops by $1,000 for every additional property. Upfront is $3,000 per property, with each balance payable at that property's settlement.
Package
How many properties in 24 months?
$1,000 off the per-property price for every additional property. The locked price applies to every purchase made within 24 months of your engagement date.
Price per property$14,000
Properties1
Total, excluding GST$14,000
Payable upfront ($3,000 per property)$3,000
Balance, paid at each settlement$11,000
Standard pricing
Volume pricing applies to residential properties only.
All figures exclude GST. The discount applies to the Priority, Care and Wealth Packages, on purchases up to $1,000,000. Commercial transactions are priced per transaction.
Step10

The top 25 purchases.

Every client purchase we made in 2025 or earlier, ranked by the dollars of capital growth created. Click any row to see the property and the full breakdown.
Purchase price and current bank value as published on handle.properties. Time held is derived from total capital growth divided by capital growth per month. Past performance is not an indicator of future performance.
Step12

Two steps to kick off.

That is the whole onboarding. Sign the agency agreement, pay the engagement fee, and we book your strategy call within 48 hours.
1
Sign the agency agreement

Two agreements, one for each asset class. Pick the one that matches your strategy. Two minutes to review and sign electronically.

2
Pay the engagement fee

$3,000 + GST per property. The balance is payable at settlement, not before.

Pay $3,000 + GST →
Once both are done we book your strategy call, issue your portal access, and start the search.

Step03

Property and Location.
The Lease. The Tenant.

Forty two checks in three groups, every one run before you go unconditional, and every finding landing in a data room built for you. One failure can kill a deal, and often does.
Download the full commercial DD checklist → The same 42-point workbook we run internally, including the yield sensitivity model.
Step04

The NEST Strategy.

Net Escalating Secured Tenancy. Retail, industrial, office, medical and mixed-use from $500k to $10m, bought on tenant covenant, lease term and land value. Net leases put most outgoings on the tenant.

What it is

You are buying a contracted income stream with a building attached. The covenant and the lease matter more than the paint.

Who it suits

Established investors, SMSFs and trusts chasing income rather than growth, with 65% LVR lending in mind.

What you end up with

  • Materially higher net yield than residential
  • Rent reviews contracted into the lease
  • Most outgoings carried by the tenant

Step05

Our due diligence,
on a real deal.

Two deals we have run end to end. The card gives you the numbers, the live report gives you all eleven sections behind them: property, snapshot, tenant and lease, income and yield, cashflow, price analysis, comparables, location, risk register, diligence status, and our own view.

Step06

Three reasons this is
an easy yes.

We are newer to commercial than we are to residential, and we are not pretending otherwise. So we have written better terms than anyone else in the market and taken the risk off you.
Fee certainty

Term one

$25,000
Maximum fee, plus GST

Our fee never exceeds $25,000 however large the transaction. Every other commercial buyers agent scales on a percentage with no ceiling. On a $6m asset that difference is not small.

No lock-in

Term two

Non-exclusive

Keep looking yourself. Keep another provider on. Our agreement does not tie you to us, so engaging us never costs you a deal you found on your own.

Refundable

Term three

$3,000
Retainer, refundable

If we have not bought anything for you through Handle within three months, ask for the retainer back and we return it.

Step07

From this call to a
contracted income.

Ten stages, and you are standing at the first one. Nothing happens without your sign off, and the entire diligence file stays visible to you throughout.
Step08

Options to engage.

$3,000 upfront, balance payable at settlement. One scope, three fee tiers, and a hard cap at the top.
Step09
