Not all property investors wear a suit and tie.
Some of us prefer board-shorts and a morning surf.
I’ve never quite fit the mould of a typical ‘finance expert’.
It’s not that I don’t have the networks or the experience.
I’ve got both in spades. And I even donned the suit and tie for many years.
But I think the world of finance and property investment can be pretty exclusive.
People want to convince you that building wealth takes
20 degrees and a truckload of industry jargon.
And in my experience, that is not how it needs to be.
When done right, property investment can pave the way to a secure financial future.
It means more choices for your family.
I’ll be honest in telling you that it takes:
discipline
using available data to find the most suitable opportunities
the ability to bring in the right professionals at each stage of the process.
It’s not the get-rich-overnight strategy that some people want to sell you on.
You can trust that I’m speaking from experience.
I've been passionate about property for my entire adult life.
But property investment still isn’t rocket science. Everyone should be able to access the knowledge they need to make it possible.
After getting my Bachelors Degree Commerce (Property),
I worked as a property valuer for six years (across Australia and the UK).
From there, I worked with some of Australia’s largest property investment firms.
I’ve been the Head of Property Research and Acquisitions,
sourcing investment properties for 1,000+ clients nationwide.
Now I’ve operated my own business for 8 years,
being a trusted referral partner for these same firms.
I’ve established strong relationships with
speciality investment builders, developers, mortgage brokers,
property managers and industry professionals.
But I knew I could help people
in an even more direct way.
That’s how The Swell Investor came to be.
Here's what The Swell Investor stands for:
Transparency
I’ve been exactly where you are, purchasing my first property
at age 30 (before going on to invest in 10 more).
And even though I was already working in the industry at the time,
it still felt pretty overwhelming!
I want to help you avoid the confusion and make confident,
informed decisions for you and your family.
Authenticity
I didn’t get into this industry to hide behind fancy jargon or stroke my ego.
I did it to genuinely help people.
I’d rather play the long-game, for my clients
and my own integrity as a property professional.
I’m realistic about your budget, the options available to you,
and the timeframe you can expect.
Approachability
As soon as you talk to me, you realise I’m not a posh guy.
I’m honest, genuine and I don’t do pretension.
That’s why I wanted to step out from behind the scenes of investment firms
and show you exactly who I am and what I do.
I show up this way because I want people to know that property investment success is accessible to you too!
And I never want to be all sizzle, no substance.
