Don’t buy the property. Buy the outcome.
A conservative, evidence-backed buying brief, built from your income, equity and goals. 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 ready to deal. Jake has bought through every cycle since 2008. The method doesn’t change when the mood does.
“Jake, our Buyers Agent, really hustled to secure us an off market property at a below market price.”
Track record
We publish every purchase. Including the four that went backwards.
If an advisor won’t show you their track record, that tells you everything. Here’s ours, on a public map: what each purchase cost, what it rents for, what it’s worth now. The misses are on there too. A record you can only see the good half of isn’t a record.
Three numbers, kept separate. Jake has helped around 500 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.

Which one is you?
Two ways in.
Turn your equity into your next move
Couples in their 40s with a home in Melbourne or Sydney usually hold more usable equity than they realise. We model how to recycle it into an investment you can hold comfortably, with a clear weekly cost ceiling. SMSF and trust purchases included.

Start investing without guessing
No equity yet? Many clients start in their late twenties with savings, a solid income and sometimes a parent as guarantor. Rent where you live, buy where the numbers work. We’ll tell you plainly if you’re ready, and what the gap is if not.

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.
