STRAND Property Group

Michael is very professional in his business dealings and helped us save thousands of dollars off the purchase price. Once we settled and had tenants move in, we were so happy and had Michael to thank for it. When we purchase our 2nd investment property, we will certainly use your help again!

Working with Michael from STRAND Property Group was an absolute pleasure. He took the time to understand our needs and in the face of a heated Northern Beaches market, looking for an entry level family home, with an entry level budget, he came through with a winner! Before meeting Michael we had heard about his wealth of real estate knowledge. After working with him we have learned that not only is he incredibly knowledgeable about the market and industry players, but he is also an endless source of ideas to maximise the potential of your property. He leaves no stone unturned, is thorough, measured and responsive and always operates with your best interests at heart. You have the best possible team in your corner with STRAND and they make a stressful process enjoyable!

We had originally hesitated with the idea of using a buyer's agent. We interviewed a few others that included area specialists and 'TV celebrities'. Michael couldn't have been a better choice - he is clearly in a league of his own. All through the journey

Working with a buyer's agent has the potential to remove the personal approach to property purchasing and incurs a risk of procuring a home that does not meet your specific needs. There is also the additional cost on top of the purchase price, stamp duty and legal fees etc.Living overseas we were keen to engage a local expert who could guide us through the huddles of first home buying. Having a local resource who could attend viewings, take photos, arrange inspections and provide detailed market data was vital. Particularly when we operate in a different timezone and were trying to purchase during a global pandemic!Michael was a very personable and helpful agent who listened very clearly to our direction, but also had the confidence to provide his expert opinion and guide us in the right direction. STRAND Property Group's data collation was important in helping us understand the true value of a property (not the auction guide price) and the volume of inspections completed provided great context of what was available in our location and price range. Having an independent expert on our side helped remove some of the personal involvement in the auction process and allowed us to stay focused on achieving a good market buy.We would recommend STRAND Property Group to new home buyers, overseas purchasers or busy professionals. Having independent advice on all aspects of home-buying is invaluable and takes the stress off finding that first/next property.

We hadn't worked with a buyer's agent before, and were at times unsure about how they would add value to what was a significant purchase.First and foremost Michael is someone who has been there done that". But also upon our first meeting he came across as someone who takes a holistic approach towards a property purchase. There was no hard sell or "spins". Instead facts & numbers

The service Michael provided to us in facilitating the purchase of an investment property went above and beyond our expectations. It was our first time using a buyer's agent and, being very time poor, we felt that Michael helped make the whole process seamless and reduced the administrative burden on us to almost nil. Michael was able to navigate all issues that arose with confidence and expertise and recommend other professionals where it was appropriate. The value Michael brings to his clients far exceeds what he charges. We wouldn't hesitate to go back to Michael again if we needed help in buying another property.

Michael from STRAND Property Group played an invaluable role in our property search. In Michael, we found a support and partner in our search who was always available, always professional and who above all else, always trusted.Michael provided firm and fair feedback when he felt properties weren’t up to scratch, encouraged us to reconsider on properties that we initially looked past, and at times, pushed us to keep on going when buyers fatigue set in. His architectural background was hugely helpful in seeing potential in homes, and his attention to detail at inspections gave us a huge amount of confidence. The result, after a 6 month search, was a property which we genuinely couldn’t be happier with.We would recommend Michael and STRAND Property Group to anyone who is considering buying on the Northern Beaches. This was our first home which we believe could very well be our last, and we wouldn’t be sitting here without Michael by our side on the journey.

I would like to thank Michael Ossitt and STRAND Property Group for their help and guidance getting me into property investment. Michael has been nothing short of amazing! As a first time investor, I was after a program that would provide education and guidance that was tailored to my financial circumstances rather than a generic one size fits all approach. Michael’s strategy and education program did exactly that. Prior to engaging with Michael, I was a nervous investor however I now feel like I have the required knowledge to make educated property investment decisions. Michael’s mentorship has been absolutely invaluable and I wouldn’t have gotten started on my property investment journey if I hadn’t engaged him. I cannot recommend Michael and STRAND highly enough.

Michael answered all our questions and guided us through the entire process. Michael educated us around his proposed strategy for us, which was based upon extensive knowledge and research. We really appreciated Michael's support in buying our first investment property, and would recommend him highly.

We had been considering an investment property for a number of years but never had the time to do much about it. Michael helped us formulate our investment strategy and advise on locations, price and future cash flows. He identified a number of properties and once we decided to move forward then Michael managed the whole process for us. He was extremely thorough, negotiated an excellent price pre-auction and subsequent to exchanging contracts he liaised with potential property managers so that we had a tenant in place at settlement date and were earning rental income from day one. We are extremely pleased that we used Michael and would have no hesitation in recommending him to other potential property investors.
