About Property Comet

Who we are, what we do and how we help.

A buyer's agent works exclusively for the buyer. We research the market, source properties (on and off market), assess whether they stack up, negotiate the price and terms, and manage the contract through to settlement. Sellers have an agent working for them, and we make sure you do too.
We're research-led and integrity-driven. Every recommendation is backed by data, not opinion or hype. We search across multiple states to find the strongest opportunities rather than pushing one location, and we're property investors ourselves, so we approach every purchase as if it were our own. We're also boutique by choice, focusing on the quality of each result rather than the number of transactions.
We work with clients Australia-wide and purchase right across the country. Where we buy is driven by the data and your strategy, not a fixed patch.
Yes. Property Comet is fully licensed to act as a buyer's agent and holds the appropriate insurances, so you're protected at every stage of your purchase.

The Process

How it works from start to finish.

Our 10-step process takes you from initial consultation through to settlement and beyond. We start by understanding your goals and financial position, build a clear strategy and client
brief, then search, assess and negotiate on your behalf. Once secured, we manage the contract, due diligence and pre-settlement, and follow up after settlement to make sure the property is performing.
It varies with your brief and market conditions, but our average purchase time is 18 days. We never rush a decision to hit a timeline. The right property matters more than the fastest one.
Yes. We've built a trusted network of mortgage brokers, accountants, financial planners, insurance brokers, conveyancers, building and pest inspectors, property managers and trades across every state we buy in. You're welcome to use your own team, but if you need someone, we'll connect you with professionals we know and trust.
We assess every property based on comparable sales, rental demand and yield, cash flow, local supply, and growth drivers. Once under contract, we coordinate building and pest inspections and work closely with your broker and conveyancer to protect your position through the finance and inspection periods.
We negotiate from data. We know what comparable properties have sold and rented for, so we can anchor offers to evidence rather than emotion. We also structure the terms, such as finance and building and pest clauses and settlement timing, to protect you while keeping the offer competitive.

Fees & Services

Our fee structure and what's included.

We charge a flat fee, not a percentage of the purchase price. That means we have no incentive to push you to spend more.
You pay the engagement fee when you sign on, with the balance due once the contract goes unconditional.
Our core service covers the full acquisition process from strategy to settlement. We also offer optional add-ons for clients who need them, including granny flat approval support and project management for major post-settlement renovations.
You pay standard purchase costs directly to third parties, not to us. These include stamp duty, conveyancing, building and pest inspections, lender fees and insurance. We'll help you understand these upfront so there are no surprises.
No. We are paid only by you. We never accept commissions, referral fees or kickbacks from sellers, agents or developers, so our advice is always independent.

Property & Investing

General property questions and investment guidance.

We buy all types of residential investment properties, including established houses, new builds, townhouses, units, and higher-density properties. There's no one-size-fits-all approach. We tailor what we buy to your goals, budget, and strategy, whether that's prioritising growth, cash flow, or a balance of both.
We use data to identify markets with strong fundamentals: population and infrastructure growth, low supply, tight vacancy rates, affordability and rental yield. We choose locations based on evidence, then narrow them to suit your budget and strategy.
Yes. We connect you with trusted property managers in the area you've purchased and help coordinate the handover so the property is tenanted as quickly as possible.
Our job doesn't end at settlement. We follow up to make sure your property is tenanted and performing as expected, and we're here to help plan your next move as your portfolio grows. Many of our clients return for subsequent purchases as their financial position and investment goals evolve.
