Wangaratta, VIC · Buying Australia-wide
Build a portfolio without becoming a property nerd.
I find and negotiate investment properties for people who are good at earning money but don't have 20 hours a week to burn on realestate.com.au. Over a decade of buying with my own money first, then for clients.
- Flat $20k fee, known on day one
- Free 15 minute discovery call
- You're the only one paying me
The problem
Everyone in this industry is selling you their thing.
Before you pay anyone in property, work out how they get paid. It explains almost everything they'll recommend.
Pitch 01
"Our fee is just two percent of the purchase price."
So the more you spend, the more they make. Have a guess whether they'll ever talk you down to a cheaper property.
Pitch 02
"This suburb's about to boom. Get in before everyone else."
Said to 200 other people the same week, usually because a developer is paying them per sale. That's not advice, that's distribution.
Pitch 03
"Trust me, I've got a feel for this market."
A feel. No workings, no sold data, no filter. You wouldn't accept "trust me" from a sparkie about your switchboard. Same rule here.
So here's the difference
I charge one flat fee, I get paid by you and nobody else, and I've been buying with my own money for over a decade. When the person advising you has nothing to gain from your budget going up, the advice changes. Funny that.
One flat fee, same at $450k as at $900k. I've got no skin in talking you into spending more.
Bloke you deal with, start to finish. I'm the whole team, so nobody's handing you off to a junior.
Kickbacks from developers or agents. If someone else was paying me, you'd be right to wonder whose side I'm on.
How it works
Three moves. I run all of them.
-
The strategy call
Fifteen minutes, free. Where you're at, what the portfolio needs to do, whether you're ready. If you're not, I'll say so and tell you what to fix first.
-
The hunt
Every market in the country goes through the same filter: sales volume, vacancy, yields, what's being built that isn't housing. Then I inspect, shortlist and negotiate in the handful of suburbs that pass.
-
Keys and beyond
Due diligence, contract to settlement, property manager, tenant in, rent flowing. Then we talk about the next one. One property was never the plan.
G'day, I'm Dan
Tradie first, buyer's agent second.
I spent years on job sites watching blokes earn serious money and park all of it in a ute and a boat. I put mine into property instead. More than a decade later, the portfolio works harder than I do.
Buyers First exists so you can skip the expensive lessons I paid for along the way. I do the research, the inspections and the negotiating. You keep running your business. Fair warning though, once I get going about property I'm hard to stop. Ask Kate.

Real purchases, real numbers.
I'd rather show you actual buys than a wall of five star reviews. Where clients give me the nod, I publish the lot. What we paid, what the data said, how it's gone since.
The sparkie who wanted out of the bank
Bought under asking in a suburb the data flagged months before the market caught on. Full numbers on the results page.
The builder buying number three
Third property, second state, zero weekends lost to open homes. Full numbers on the results page.
Ready when you are.
Fifteen minutes, free, no sales script. If you're ready to buy, I'll tell you what happens next. If you're not, I'll tell you that too, and exactly what to fix first. Straight answers are the whole business model.
