At Melbourne Property Advocates, we follow a simple, proven approach: Future 1st. This philosophy ensures our clients make smart, sustainable property decisions that secure their financial future. Unlike traditional buyer’s agents who focus solely on transactions, we take a long-term view, helping expats and remote buyers secure their future home first, pay it off quickly, and then leverage equity for future investments.
A Proven Approach:
No Regrets, No Complaints One thing we can confidently say? We’ve never had a client regret paying off their home faster. In fact, every expat we’ve worked with has thanked us for guiding them towards financial security instead of short-term speculation. We’ve had clients return to Australia years later with their home fully paid off, completely debt-free, while their friends were still renting or struggling with high mortgage repayments. Take James & Sarah, for example. They were living in London and wanted to buy an investment property in Melbourne. Instead, we advised them to secure their future home first, a well-located house in a desirable suburb. By the time they moved back, their mortgage was significantly reduced, and they could use their built-up equity to purchase an investment property with confidence. Now, they own multiple properties and have set themselves up for long-term success.
This Future 1st strategy works because it’s based on sound financial principles:
✅ Buy the future home first – Lock in a quality property before the market moves further.
✅ Pay it down quickly – Reduce financial stress and build equity faster.
✅ Leverage equity for smart investments – Once the home is secured, invest in properties with strong future potential.
Why We Use a Fixed-Price Fee Model
Unlike commission-based agents, we charge a fixed price for our services. This means our advice is always in your best interest—there’s no incentive for us to push you into a more expensive property or unnecessary upgrades. Traditional buyer’s agents charge a percentage of the purchase price, which can create a conflict of interest. The more you spend, the more they make. We don’t work like that. Our fixed-fee structure ensures:
✔ Total transparency – No hidden costs, no surprises.
✔ No pressure to buy more than you need – We focus on what’s best for your financial future.
✔ Aligned interests – We work for you, not the deal.
Beyond the Purchase:
A Smarter Path to Wealth Buying a home is just the first step. Once your mortgage is under control, we help clients move into Phase 2, smart property investments designed for long-term capital growth and tax efficiency.
🏡 Subdivision-Ready Investments – Instead of just buying any investment property, we focus on future development opportunities. These properties allow for subdivision down the line, maximizing value appreciation while minimizing tax liability.
📈 Strategic Portfolio Planning – We help clients grow their wealth in a structured way, ensuring they own assets that work for them, rather than just accumulating properties without a clear strategy.
🎯 End-to-End Support – From purchasing and managing your home to structuring your investments, we guide you through every stage of the journey.
