What a strata report should tell you — and usually doesn't
The lines I look for before recommending any apartment purchase in Sydney, and the buildings I quietly steer clients away from.

The Practice
Real estate, done properly, is not a transaction. It is a series of considered decisions — who to trust, when to act, what to spend, how to negotiate, when to hold the line and when to move.
I have spent more than three decades selling, advocating and advising across Sydney's Eastern Suburbs. I have watched the market through booms, corrections, interest rate cycles and the rise of digital marketing. The fundamentals have not changed.
The right strategy, executed personally by an experienced agent, still produces the strongest result. That is the only thing I offer — and the only thing worth paying for.

In Their Words
Alan was honest when honesty cost him a listing, patient when speed would have suited him, and present at every moment of the sale. We came to him as clients and left as advocates.
