When this savvy young couple engaged us, they were looking for a home with great natural light, a flow of indoor/outdoor living, and ideally a great outlook. Through our off market network, we secured a free standing home facing due north to the rear and with district views right over the top of their rear neighbour. Even better, it had a fantastic DA to create a high-end designer sanctuary including pool, entertaining space, and a parents' retreat. Future proofed. Done.

I overheard someone say it doesn’t matter if you overpay for a property because it will go up in the end anyway.

Let's see how that plays out in the following example.

Consider two people, Jake and Dylan, who each buy a property for $10m.

Suppose Jake overpays … and pays $10m for a property that is worth $9m.

And suppose Dylan gets a great deal … paying $10m for a property that is worth $11m.

Now assume they sell many years later, when the market has doubled, and they both sell at fair market value.

Jake’s property will be worth $18m … an $8m profit.

Dylan’s property will be worth $22m … a $12m profit.

Yes, they both made profit … but the one who bought well-made 50% more profit than the one who overpaid, which in this case is $4m. Four. Million. Dollars.

Of course, if you’re buying the property for yourself to live in, then it is not purely a financial asset. In that case, if you really want the property, you might be willing to overpay for the same reason you might buy a Ferrari. As long as you’re under no illusion about the fact that neither is an optimal wealth creation move.

"Trying to purchase your dream house that one day will be home to our family without seeing it sounds crazy! However, Ryan's local market understanding, thorough review of council and building plans, along with his detailed videos of properties and commentaries made this experience seamless.

Not to mention he is a master tactician, timing things perfectly, he managed to save us around 10% of the house value. Worth every cent of his fee - we would certainly use him again."

For many years, Ryan has been advising people on buying prestige property in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs.

Having bought hundreds of millions of dollars of property, Ryan combines a knack for property and deals with strong analytical rigour to ensure his clients achieve superior results. His background is unique in the buyer’s agent space: a qualified actuary who accumulated many years of experience in private equity and growth businesses before ultimately following his passion for property.

A genuine local, having lived in Bellevue Hill, Bondi and Dover Heights with his wife and three kids, Ryan takes every opportunity to enjoy the world-class lifestyle on offer, whether that’s running up Heartbreak Hill, walking the dog along Rose Bay, or swimming at Bondi.

"From day one, we knew that Ryan and Lisa were batting for our team. They listened to our brief and understood exactly what we were looking for.

Ryan's advice, which he freely gave throughout our journey was invaluable. Being new to the Sydney property market, he really helped to guide us and assess opportunities.

Ryan's patience, positivity and availability throughout ensured that after a long search by Eastern suburb standards, we ended up buying well - a property within budget that is a far larger stake in the ground than we first imagined.

For those considering the services of a buyer's agent, Ryan enabled us to balance busy family and professional commitments to triage opportunities and ultimately secure a property in a way that would not have been possible had we been on the journey ourselves."

These Aussie expats in Qatar needed an expert on the ground to lead the property journey from start to end. They wanted a place near the beaches for when they return home in coming years. After considering many properties and sharing detailed videos we identified the winner and secured it at a fantastic price. They've since leased it out for premium rent so it can start paying the mortgage off while they're away.

Agents tend to promote a low number of days on market as a good thing.

Cynics say they sold too quickly, could have got more, and a lazy agent took advantage of an unambitious vendor. Note that those same cynics question a property that has been on the market for a while, thinking there is something wrong with it, the agent can’t get things sold, and why does nobody want it? You can’t win with cynics.

The time taken for a property to sell is influenced by multiple factors.

Circumstances that result in lower days on market:

1.Desperate seller – will take the first offer they get, often a discount to what they could get with more patience.

2. Desperate buyer – offers a premium price very quickly in order to secure the property even though they might have got it for less if they were patient.

3. Multiple strong buyers and an agent decides it's worth bringing it to a head early, while these buyers are at the table – the agent will run a quick process (“auction before the auction”) and close the sale.

Circumstances that result in higher days on market:

1. Stubborn, greedy vendor – wanting an unrealistically high price often won’t sell and then becomes stale and lingers on the market until the “market catches up” ie. the market moves up and the vendor can get the price they wanted. Sometimes the vendor moves the goalposts up as the market is going up, resulting in even higher days on market and/or no sale.

2. Problematic property – if the property has issues, buyers who are initially interested may change their mind as they undertake more due diligence.

3. Patient strategic agent – waiting for the right buyer for whom the property has the most value.

The reality is there are many factors at play, and you shouldn’t jump to conclusions based on the days-on-market alone.

"After 18 months of unsuccessful searching on our own, we engaged Ryan with a very detailed and specific brief, focused heavily on accessing off-market opportunities. Over the next six months, he completely validated our decision to hire him.

He demonstrated a rare level of professionalism, consistently showing us only properties that either met our precise criteria or were strategically aligned with our long-term goals. His approach was highly discerning—he was organised, reliable, and patient, always offering invaluable, insightful commentary during and after viewings.

His deep network proved to be the key to our success. He eventually negotiated and secured a fantastic off-market property that we would never have accessed without his connections. Crucially, his skilful negotiation ensured the final price was within a comfortable range of our budget. The whole contract review and settlement process was seamless with his input and guidance, navigating this aspect of buying a property.

We are extremely happy with the service he provided and the outstanding result he managed to achieve. We highly recommend him to anyone serious about finding their perfect home."
