Our Difference

Why Most Buyer's Agent's Simply Fail To Measure Up

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KORNAD BOBILAK BUYER’S ADVOCATE & THE REST

Most Buyer’s Agents are young and broke, with limited or no real personal investing experience. Many Buyer’s Advocates claim to be experts on property investing, but many have not even purchased their own first investment property and have little practical knowledge on the mechanics of large property portfolios.
Most Buyer’s Agents are transactionally focused on sourcing one property for their client, rather than developing a holistic all-encompassing investment wealth strategy tailored specifically around their client’s needs. Many Buyer’s Advocates have no real experience in structuring property portfolios for their clients beyond their first property acquisition. A substantial percentage of Buyer’s Advocates fail to understand the lending and tax implications of buying and holding investment properties in trusts versus personal name, or SMSF, just to name a few.
Most Buyer’s Agents have very limited experience in the financial services sector, beyond the required Agents Rep Certificate which can be obtained online in two weeks. Therefore, they lack the ability and understanding of process of assessing an investment property from a financial perspective, i.e. Loan to Value Ratios and Lenders Mortgage Insurance premiums applicable to certain types of investment properties, rather than just the one-dimensional real estate capital appreciation-based investing perspective.
Many Buyer’s Agents are overly reliant on software for sourcing investment properties for their clients and therefore end up with client advice that is solely based on technically driven due-diligence and research, and don’t understand the process of conducting on-the-ground, real-time, research based on market growth factors that are driven by fundamentals. When it comes to property investing, fundamental analysis will virtually always outperform technically based analysis. As Warren Buffet put’s it best; - “Beware of geeks bearing formulas”.
Most Buyer’s Advocate rely solely on on-the-market properties listed by mainstream Real Estate Agents. Very few have access to off-market properties or are even fewer are aware that some of the very best investment grade properties never list on the mainstream real estate market or get advertised on www.realestate.com.au .This sole reliance on the current listings-at-hand can severely limit the volume and quality of investment properties that the Buyer’s Advocate can access and assess for their respective buyers.
Many Buyer’s Advocates who are relatively new to the industry and their working life lack the time-in-the-trenches and access to a network that will prove instrumental in your success. They say, “Your Net-Work will determine Your Net-Worth”, and this is very true for those clients that want to build substantial property portfolios. When it comes to property investing and building large property portfolios your ability to implement your investment strategy will be largely determined and limited by your imagination, your ambition, and your access to leading industry experts and consultants. Many new Buyer’s Advocates lack access to the industries best consultants and experts. Here we are referring to consultants such as Finance Strategists and Private Bankers, Property Accountants, property savvy Financial Planners, Property Managers, and Sourcing Specialists.
Many Buyer’s Advocates don’t offer any ongoing support, ongoing portfolio reviews, or mentoring beyond the first transaction. This leaves their clients to ‘figure it out for themselves’, rather than offering them a clear pathway and strategy to succeed. The reality is that a lot of younger and inexperienced Buyer’s Advocates don’t actually understand how to build and structure large property portfolios. And as the saying goes, ‘you cannot teach what you don’t understand’. This single reality, of a Buyer’s Advocate lacking exposure to finance and accounting principles, specifically in understanding how the lenders assess an individual’s serviceability and the amount of money one can borrow, as well as a lack of understanding the implications and advantages of buying investment properties through corporate trustees and trusts, can severely limit their client’s ability to build substantial property portfolios. Ultimately, this may lead to failure in their ability to fulfill their financial objectives.

By working with the team at Konrad Bobilak Buyer’s Advocate you will soon appreciate the truism that ‘property investing is all about finance, the property itself is simply a wealth creation vehicle’.

Whilst many Buyer’s Agents are overly reliant on software for sourcing investment properties for their clients, Konrad Bobilak Buyer’s Advocates we focus on Fundamental property analysis, backed up by technical analysis.

Historically, especially over the 20 years where technology and software development has evolved to a high level, we have witnessed firsthand that most academics relying on software algorithms, to pick suburbs or hot spots, ultimately end up achieving average results at best, or get this completely wrong at worst.

That’s why at Konrad Bobilak Buyer’s Advocate we have developed our unique 50 point due-diligence property criteria that allows us to literally eliminate 96 per cent of all properties, and identify, with laser like-precision, investment grade properties, that are most likely to outperform the market medium to long term.

Most Buyer’s Advocate rely solely on on-the-market properties listed by mainstream Real Estate Agents. Whilst most property investors believe that all property listings appear on realestate.com.au and www.domain.com.au, many are not aware that there is a an entire multi-billion dollar industry driven entirely by off-market property listings; only a few industry experts and those in-the-know are aware of its existence and more importantly how to access this market. In fact, there are three different types of listings and markets that exist in the vast Australian Real Estate Market;

  1. On The Market Listings – whereby the property is being actively marketed and advertised to the general public, including on real estate portals, via emails to other agencies, agencies data bases, and in print media.
  2. Pre-market / advanced listings – whereby one agent or agency has been given an exclusive listing to sell a property, but the property hasn’t been advertised yet. During the time prior to advertising; usually around two weeks, where photographs are being taken and the marketing materials are being prepared, the real estate agent may give a few short-listed buyers, or other agents a chance to get in first.                                  
  3. Off-Market Listings – A transaction that occurs when a property hasn’t been – and likely won’t be – advertised in any way shape or form. The vendor doesn't want the property on the market or has established a relationship with an agent who can sell his property without advertising or mainstream advertising.

At Konrad Bobilak Buyer’s Advocate we have spent literally decades carefully cultivating key relationships in the Off-Market Listing domain, enabling us to access some of the very best investment properties before they become accessible and advertised to the general public. This unique accessibility to Off-Market Listings is the reason why many clients have made Konrad Bobilak Buyer’s Advocate their go-to investment property sourcing, buyer’s advocate.

Many Buyer’s Advocates who are relatively new to the industry and their working life lack the time-in-the-trenches and access to a network that will prove instrumental in your success.

There is an age-old saying: ’Success Leaves Clues’. Behind every successful property investor or self-made millionaire there is a team of experts that has been that person’s catalyst for success. The most successful property investors are themselves not necessarily experts in every single field of property investing, rather they become generalists, relying on their Mastermind Team of Experts, from whom they will draw expertise and knowledge.

These include, but are not limited to the following:

  1. Your Property Solicitor,
  2. Your Mortgage Broker or Banker,
  3. Your Property Accountant,
  4. Your Quantity Surveyor,
  5. Your Property Valuer,
  6. Your Property Manager,
  7. Building and Pest Inspector.
  8. Your insurance Broker or Financial Planner, and
  9. Your Property Mentor.

The key distinction to appreciate here, is that your success as a property investor will, to a large extent (especially from the practical execution of your property strategy), be based upon the skill, experience, and knowledge of your team.

At Konrad Bobilak Buyer’s Advocate we have spent decades carefully cultivating long-term relationships with some of the very best real estate agencies, mortgage brokering companies and financial planners in the industry just to name a few. As they say, ‘your net-worth will be determined by your network’.

Many Buyer’s Advocates don’t offer any ongoing support, ongoing portfolio reviews, or mentoring beyond the first transaction. Choosing your first investment property can be a daunting task, typically with much uncertainty. However, it is perhaps the most important step in your property investing endeavour, as you will learn tremendously from acquiring, settling and managing your first investment property which cannot be learned from books and live events.

Perhaps the most important aspect of your investing journey is ‘to start’ investing; too often first-time investors become overwhelmed and overloaded with due-diligence and suffer paralysis from analysis. I’m sure that in the past you’ve had the experience of having attended a seminar, read a book, or listened to a podcast and felt all fired up with so many phenomenal ideas in your head…ready to change your life! But you soon found yourself overwhelmed to the point of being frozen - unable to put your new ideas to work, unsure of which direction to take.

Having a mentor eliminates this frustration; if you have any questions they are answered. If you need a path illuminated, it will be done. If you need an extra incentive to get motivated, you’ve got it!

The world’s most successful athletes attribute much of their success to having a great coach. Should you now tap into this ‘secret’ and start working with your own mentor to help you reach your real estate investing goals?

What if the only thing preventing you from finally achieving your income, financial independence, and life goals, was simply, NOT having a coach or mentor?

Building and structuring a multi-million-dollar property portfolio, that will eventually free you from work, or in the very least, supplement your current job income, is based on a specific process much like a recipe for baking a cake.

When you want to bake a cake, you locate that special recipe you want to prepare. Then it’s a simple matter of sourcing quality ingredients, adding them in the correct sequence, and following the rest of the directions until you arrive at the finished product.

The key is, to make sure that you get quality ingredients, in the correct order, or your cake will not be a success.

Building wealth through property is basically the same.

The key is to conduct research, find out how other successful property investors have built and structured their property portfolios, who and what they have sourced, how they have made their money work for them, and for you to do the same.

Once you have found the winning recipe or plan that has worked for other successful investors, then it becomes a simple matter of repeating the process until you have built and structured your investment property portfolio correctly.

To fast track the process further still, you can leverage off the experience of a coach or mentor. This should be someone who has real life experience and has personally achieved and exceeded the very same financial goals that you want to achieve by building wealth through property investing.

That’s why the buyer’s advocates at Konrad Bobilak Buyer’s Advocate, are all seasoned property investors themselves. With the principal founder; Konrad Bobilak being a Reale Estate multi-millionaire himself.
