A real estate agent mostly lists available properties and then look for buyers, charging a real estate fee to the vendor. Our process is very different. We partner with a select group of developers, often at ‘green fields’ stage, to identify properties that will make great rentals. Our acquisition strategy varies depending on each project; in some cases we have secured an early release of stock directly from the developers, in some cases we are the developer. In all cases you will be buying the property directly from one of the companies in our group.
We use our experience as property managers to deliver the type of properties that tenants are looking for, assessing the overall area for future growth opportunities. We complete a large amount of due diligence on our developers and also work closely with our legal team to ensure the final contract that you sign is negotiated so that it’s not all in the developer’s favour.
Staircase was set up by investors, for investors. While property investment might seem fairly simple, there are actually a lot of things that can go wrong if you don’t have the right advice.
Our team have been through several property cycles. Ups and downs, different governments, different lending rules, different tax rules, different tenancy rules, a global financial crisis and a global flu pandemic. No matter what’s happening in our country, or even our world, we are here to help you create, manage and grow your rental portfolio. We have hundreds of clients that have been working with for over 20 years, and are now realising their dreams of a comfortable retirement. This is because of the trust they placed in us, and most importantly the confidence they had in our advice. Let us help you do the same.
