“We had been looking for a suitable property for a year before we met Paul. After missing out on a few houses we were beginning to feel frustrated with the process and worried that this might lead to an irrational investment decision. We consulted Paul to help bring some clarity to the situation. Paul was a pleasure to deal with. He is very personable, knowledgeable and generous with his time. The advice he gave us helped us to be more confident in our communication with the seller’s agent, who we found to be intimidating. Paul also strongly encouraged us to negotiate which resulted in $10,000 off the contract price.

We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Paul’s services to anyone looking to purchase a home or investment property. We were thoroughly pleased with his services and will be seeking them again in the future.”

“We recently used Brisbane Buyers Agency when my husband and I were looking to buy our first home.  Paul made the process of looking so much easier with his expert knowledge and experience in the field.  We wanted someone to help guide us with honesty and that is exactly what we got.  

Paul met us at all the open homes we went too, and because we had someone we trusted helping us it was a much less stressful process. We would highly recommend Paul to anyone looking to buy a property. When we are in the position to buy again we will surely use his services again.”

“I used Brisbane Buyers Agency in 2014 when I was looking for my first property to buy on my own. Having previously bought properties with other people I was a little nervous this time as it was my first solo adventure. It was very comforting and reassuring to have someone on my team who was knowledgeable across all areas of property buying. I have found it challenging in the past to find people in the real-estate business you can trust and who genuinely have your best interests at heart. This was not the case with my interactions with Paul.

I was always 100% confident with his advice and ideas and that he had my best interests in mind. Paul walked me through the process of buying a new property from beginning to end and this gave me peace of mind knowing I wasn’t on my own. Paul provided me with honest advice and support I could trust. His approachability, friendliness and understanding of my needs and preferences made the acquisition smooth sailing and stress-free. His research process into the body corporate was quite detailed and very reassuring.

I would highly recommend Paul’s services to anyone looking for assistance in the property market. 100% happy customer.”

Why I developed Smart Buyers Kick Start to help first home buyers get started

My name is Paul Palella and I’m Principal of Brisbane Buyers Agency. I developed this coaching program because I know what it’s like to be a first home buyer – it can be a big, stressful, time-consuming task that most people have no training or experience in. In fact most people only buy or sell two or three times in their lives.

This really concerns me as buying your first home is the biggest financial commitment of your life – one that can set you up for future financial success. On the flipside, if it’s not done properly it can mean losing ground in the property market and in the worst case, financial hardship. 

When I purchased my first home I was very lucky as I had the best property coach of all …My Dad … who had bought and sold countless properties. He was great.  When I started looking and showed him the first home I liked he told me “keep looking – you need to inspect at least 1000 homes before you buy your first home.”. I said to him “1000! Surely you do not mean that?”. I am here to tell you he certainly did. 

I can’t tell you how daunting that was – but being the good son I spent two years looking before I purchased my first home. When I was ready to buy I was extremely confident about my asking price, the quality and value of the home.  I didn’t know it at the time, but at the end of two years I no longer needed my father’s help. He’d taught me – by getting me to look constantly – to be a smart, informed buyer who knew what to look for, where to look and what was a good buy financially.

Now a lot has changed since I purchased my first home and I have many more years experience in the property industry. As a buyer’s agent I do the hard work for my clients so you don’t have to inspect 1000 homes – as I know most people don’t have two years to look and can be very overwhelmed by the property data available now. In fact too much data can be a hindrance – people can get caught in analysis paralysis. Even building and pest inspection reports can be overwhelming, some of them written in way that scares buyers and has them running for the hills when they may be a simple solution to resolve the problem found.

Buying a property is an extremely emotional event and you really cannot afford to make a mistake. I have seen some buyers make a round peg try to fit in a square hole because they get caught up and lose sight of their property and financial goals. I’ve seen people who want something so badly they will interpret the data incorrectly or force a situation to work despite the reality.

When you are starting out you need to make your money work for you and you want to make sure you are buying right the first time. This is important because circumstances can change.  You might be with a partner and suddenly decide you want to start a family sooner or, a baby might unexpectedly come along which means you must upsize. You should always buy with the view that you can recoup your money should you need to sell sooner than you planned.

I put this program together so other people don’t have to go through the same worries, fears and frustration that I and many others have been through. This program is a shortcut for you as it distills more than 20 years of property experience into five simple steps. It will give you an incredible advantage at a very important time in your life. 

Oh – and despite all my years of training and experience, I miss my Dad’s valuable opinion. He was a great teacher.
