Don’t buy the property. Buy the outcome.

Property can still change what your future looks like. We turn your income, equity and goals into a conservative, evidence-backed buying brief: one that holds up with your partner, your accountant and a quiet market.

The market right now

The rules changed in May. Most buyers froze.

New investor tax rules landed in May. Prices softened, the headlines turned to collapse, and most buyers stepped back.

But Australia isn’t one market. It’s dozens, moving at different speeds.

Our job is finding the few where supply, demand and demographics line up with your budget, then modelling them conservatively.

A quiet market suits a disciplined buyer: less competition, and vendors who need to sell.

Jake has bought through every cycle since 2008. The method doesn’t change when the mood does.

Client // five purchases

“It’s just the level of trust, Jake… Without that trust, I wouldn’t have actually gone this far, to be very honest.”
Noor, client. Five properties in under three years; individual results vary.

Track record

We publish every purchase.
All of them.

The good, the great, and the 4 that went backwards.

If an advisor won’t show you their track record, that tells you everything.

Here’s ours, on a public map.

The misses are on there too.

A record you can only see the good half of isn’t a record.

How these numbers are counted

Three numbers, kept separate. Jake has helped around 550 clients buy since 2010, at MOGL and earlier agencies (approximate). Every purchase since 2017 is tracked properly: that’s the 266 on the map. Fifty are MOGL’s own, since 2023. Values are Domain Insight estimates (June 2026), not valuations. Growth is gross on purchase price, before buying costs, holding costs and interest.

Past client // soft market

“Jake, our Buyers Agent, really hustled to secure us an off market property at a below market price.”
Rob & Christel, past clients. Soft-market buying, in practice.

Client reviews

In their words, after they bought.

Review 01 // investment grade

Shane
“Looking at an investment property is a huge financial commitment and making sure the right property ticks all of the boxes to meet our circumstances, and that the property was investment grade, was crucial. Jake Milne and the team executed this perfectly and our expectations were exceeded.”

Review 02 // two weeks to secure

Michelle
“Working with Jake to find an investment property made the whole process fun and painless. The properties presented in the shortlists were all suitable, and we secured our property within 2 weeks of it being presented to us at a reasonable price.”

Review 03 // stress free

Craig
“Trusting someone to guide you into a big financial commitment is a stressful/nerve racking decision to make. Now that we have made the purchase I feel totally confident that the investment we have made will be great for our wealth generating goals. Jake made the process for us stress free at every step.”

Common questions

FAQs:

What does a Buyers Agency actually do?

We get to know your situation and goals, work out which strategy fits, and buy anywhere in the country without bias. Then we keep reviewing the investment so returns and lifestyle stay in balance.

The difference: selection is data science first, then 16 years of human vetting. No gut feel, and no postcodes we’re paid to push.

Can you guarantee results?

Nobody can guarantee market movements, and be wary of anyone who says they can. What we offer is accountability: the work is visible at every stage, every purchase is published, and a written guarantee sits in the service guide for purchases that underperform.

How much money do I need?

Approved properties start around $300,000. The floor moves with lending conditions, but as a guide: about $70,000 in savings or equity, and a household income of $70,000 or more.

Where do you find properties?

Anywhere in Australia the numbers stack up. Data and investment algorithms shortlist suburbs and towns. Every one is then vetted by human experience before it reaches you.

How long does it take to purchase?

Once you’re pre-approved and we’re searching: anywhere from two days to about three months. There’s no minimum or maximum. Getting the best available asset matters more than speed.

What are the fees to purchase an investment property with a buyer’s agent?

Fixed flat fees, known upfront. No hidden charges, no percentages inflating with the price. Suburb Research $3,300, Investment Analysis $9,900, both including GST. Full Buyers Advisory is quoted per engagement.

What happened to Shrewdy?

We renamed. Same founder, team, service and fees. MOGL fits where we’re heading: a buyers’ agency with an investment app, education, market reporting and a vetted partner network built around it.

Land appreciates. Buildings depreciate.

That asymmetry drives most of what we buy. Book a call and we’ll show you how it works in today’s market, with real numbers and no sales pitch.
