【💎 From Home to Investment: A Smart Choice】
🏥 This client is a Travel Nurse who often works shifts and travels between hospitals in Logan and Ipswich. Holding PR status, his goal was to purchase a modern and conveniently located one-bedroom apartment, with good transport links and, most importantly, a secure living environment.
🏙️ In Brisbane’s red-hot property market, finding a quality one-bedroom unit is no easy task. I inspected many apartments for him, even older ones without views were already asking around $580,000. But this apartment stood out: both the living room and bedroom enjoy open, pleasant views, and the complex offers gated entry and on-site security, ensuring peace of mind. Even better, the Body Corporate fees are only $5900 per year, which is quite reasonable.
🤝 My client was impressed with every aspect of this property, so we decided to submit a $600,000 best-and-final offer. During negotiations, the seller repeatedly pushed for a higher price of $603,000–$605,000. However, based on my market analysis and strategy, I stood firm. In the end, we secured the property for exactly $600,000.
💰 Originally, he intended to live in the apartment himself. But since his hospital employer provides staff accommodation, he chose to convert it into an investment property instead. Now, not only does he own his first property in Australia, but he also enjoys a steady rental return of $620 per week.
💡 Buying property is more than just choosing where to live, it’s a life decision. Moving from “buying for yourself” to “investing for the future,” every step is filled with wisdom. For me as a Buyer’s Agent, the most valuable part is helping my clients hold the right price, seize opportunities, and secure a home with confidence.
【💎從自住到投資的智慧抉擇】
🏥這位客人是一名 Travel Nurse，因為工作需要經常輪班，並往返 Logan和Ipswich 等不同醫院。他持有 PR，理想是購買一個新淨及地點便利的一房 Apartment，既要有良好的交通連接，更需要安全的居住環境。
🏙️在熾熱的布里斯本樓市裏，要找到質素好的一房單位並不容易。我為他看過不少 Apartment，即使沒有景觀，也已經叫價$58萬。而這一間 Apartment 不但擁有開揚景觀，無論客廳或睡房都能望到舒適的景色，加上屋苑設有閘門出入與保安，安全感十足。更難得的是，這個屋苑的 Body Corp 費用每年只須 $5900，屬於合理範圍。
🤝客人對這間屋各方面都非常滿意，於是我們決定以$60萬的Best & Final出價。在談判過程中，賣家多次要求調高至 $60.3–60.5萬，但我憑經驗與市場判斷，堅持不加價，最終以$60萬成功購入。
💰原本，他是打算自住。但由於醫院能提供員工宿舍，他最後決定把這間 Apartment 轉為投資物業。這樣，他不僅擁有了屬於自己的物業，更能同時獲得每週$620的穩定租金回報。
💡 買樓，其實是一場人生選擇。從「為自己而買」到「為未來而投資」，每一步都充滿智慧。能為客人守住價錢、把握機會，讓他安心擁有第一間屬於自己的澳洲物業，就是我作為 Buyer’s Agent 最有價值的地方。

In the second week of the new year, I have already helped three clients secure their dream properties! Today, I’d like to share the success story of one of them, a client from Sydney!
Like many others, this client was keen to make a long-term investment in Brisbane. Her goal is to purchase two investment properties either for rental income or future capital growth. With her extensive experience in property investment, the client already owns rental properties in Sydney and experience in buying land, building homes, and renovating. But since she is not familiar with Brisbane’s suburbs, she was being cautious about diving in and risking her hard-earned fund in the wrong areas. She has been following my YouTube channel for a while. She felt confident I was the right Buyer’s Agent to help them navigate Brisbane’s market. She decided to work with me as the local expert to guide them, which I was truly honored to do! Throughout our discussions, we were often in sync about whether a property was suitable and what price to offer. Initially, the client focused on finding properties that could accommodate a granny flat, aiming to generate dual income. But in today’s market, most of these properties are in the Logan area, where prices have been pushed pretty high. After weighing up the time, money, and effort needed to build a granny flat—and the risks involved—they decided to explore other options.
由於客人始終不了解Brisbane的各個區，即使在投資物業市場已有不少經驗和見解，但對投資仍然謹慎，不想錯放資源
！能夠幫助到這位客人在Brisbane買屋實在是非常榮幸！每次當我和客人去討論這間物業是否適合？應該出什麼價？我們很多時都很有默契地得出同一想法。客人在篩選初期，都比較集中能夠找到一些能夠興建 Granny Flat 的投資物業，實現兩個收入來源。但是在現時的市場中，能夠符合這個條件的地段多數集中在 Logan 區，而且價格亦被推得很高
在考慮到Granny Flat 會存在一些不確定性，而且還需要考慮除了金錢，還有時間和精神上的投入
