| | CAN YOU PLEASE TELL US MORE ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS? |
| Pure Property Investment represents the investors in the real estate process. We are a fee for service company. Our research, industry relationships and distinct negotiation skills truly give us a distinct advantage within a busy market place. We are a small team with a true bespoke focus on each client’s specific goals and objectives. Our service and company mission ensure that we employ a zero compromise on the overall quality we provide, and the end customer experience. From our initial consult to formulating our client’s specific strategy and objectives, defining their search criteria, sourcing and negotiating the correct property at the right price and managing the entire settlement process. We are a true end to end service for our clients. |
| | HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A PROPERTY INVESTMENT PROFESSIONAL AND WHAT WAS YOUR PATHWAY INTO THE PROFESSION (INCL. OTHER CAREERS)? |
| My career and journey to this point has been initially as a student of architecture over 22 years ago now, then graduating with a Bachelor of Education. I’ve been a student of property and the fundamentals ever since (in which I will always be). My career has also been exposed to some of the biggest corporate companies in the world where I held a variety of positions and ultimately learning the fundamentals of research and processes in which we implement on a daily basis within Pure Property Investment. Over the past decade, I personally have applied my skills and knowledge to build a property portfolio with a focus on a wide range of property types and locations. |
| | HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A MEMBER OF PIPA? |
| I’ve been a member of PIPA since 2015. |
| | HOW DID YOU FIND OUT ABOUT THE ASSOCIATION? |
| I first learned of PIPA through the Sydney Property Buyers Expo and after doing some further reading and investigation on the association, it was apparent that PIPA represented the investor within the industry and this was something I had a strong belief in. |
| | WHAT WERE THE MAIN CHALLENGES OF BECOMING A PROPERTY INVESTMENT ADVISER? |
| Truly, the challenge for all property investment professionals is the ongoing dedication to learning. This is actually a very enjoyable part of my role, however, there are dozens of hours each month in which myself and my team must continue to allocate to our ongoing research and education to ensure we are as up-to-date as possible on all facets of the property industry. |
| | HOW DOES THE PIPA SUPPORT YOUR BUSINESS AND ITS GROWTH? |
| PIPA supports Pure Property Investment with ongoing education and regular market/industry updates, PIPA also supports property investment professionals by way of consistent lobbying of government and industry bodies to ensure the true voice and rationale of all property investors is heard. |
| | HOW DOES THE QPIA QUALIFICATION HELP YOU TO ATTRACT NEW CLIENTS OR DEEPEN EXISTING CLIENT RELATIONSHIPS? |
| QPIA is the current benchmark in the property investment industry and will give confidence to all investors, knowing that we have undertaken current and rigorous upskilling to maximise our offering. |
| | WOULD YOU RECOMMEND OTHER PROPERTY INVESTMENT PROFESSIONALS TO BECOME MEMBERS OF PIPA? WHY? |
| Most certainly, I would strongly advocate all investment professionals to become PIPA members to be part of the movement to set industry minimum standards and expectations. It’s vital to the growth and legacy of the property industry that all property professionals align themselves with a strict industry code and framework, which PIPA provides, to give the end client (property investors) confidence in the service our industry provides and ultimately grow our young industry as a whole. |
| | YOU WERE ON THE PIPA BOARD. WHAT MOTIVATED YOU TO BE ON THE PIPA BOARD AND WHAT DID BRING TO THE ASSOCIATION? |
| My passion for education and desire to want to be part of something bigger is what motivated me to put myself forward for the PIPA board. My experience in both the property industry, and as a teacher, will allow me to bring a distinct ability to drive the ongoing education piece and help develop education opportunities for both new and current PIPA members. |
| | WHAT’S NEXT FOR YOUR BUSINESS IN THE NEXT 12 MONTHS AND BEYOND? |
| Within Pure Property Investment, our focus is on bettering our internal systems and process to maximise our outcomes. We have also recently invested in some state-of-the-art technology to increase our client’s overall experience using the services of Pure Property Investment. We have also recently launched our Owner Occupier Buyers Advocacy arm with our immediate focus to service our Sydney-based clients who want to buy their own home. If the past 12 months is anything to go by, the next 12 months will be very busy and our team are welcoming the challenge. |
