Client Stories

Advantage Property have been my “real estate saviour”! My old property management company were not collecting rent and put tenants in there without proper reference checks.

Advantage Property took swift action and not only spent time recovering all the back rent I was owed, but in the 9 years I have been a client, I have never lost a day’s rent – this is why I am still a client today! Thank you so much for all of your help.

Having moved interstate from Melbourne, it was important to find a property manager who I could trust to look after my two bedroom rental property in St. Kilda. Frank and Michelle Valentic, Brant Williams and the whole team at Advantage Property Consulting proved themselves to be very reliable and proactive with my property.

They helped me find the right long-term tenants, give me realistic advice on market rental returns, give me multiple estimates from tradepeople to do repairs, and were able to gain my trust and run my property for me.

Quickly I was able let go and only hear from them when the rent was banked, results of a property inspection came through on CD and what my end of year statement was for tax purposes. I would whole-heartedly recommend Advantage Property to other property investors

KINGSTON & SHANNON

I must take this opportunity to thank you for the wonderfully appropriate, really 'switched on' service that you have provided our family at a very difficult time for us.

Your diligent and very focused approach to selling our East Malvern unit and then pursuing another property could only be given ten out of ten! I want to thank you for your especially professional behaviour in dealing with situations that needed a real element of 'gutsy' performance.

Each time I deal with Frank and the team at Advantage I come away more and more impressed with the quality of service the company offers. In my case, I bought then leased and finally seven years later, sold my property all with the guidance and help of Advantage. Their professionalism and efficiency make it easy- When I'm ready to buy again, I will be giving Frank a call.

I would like to thank you for the great service you provided in helping me source two apartments. I would highly recommend Frank and Anna for any property consulting required. I found them to be very knowledgeable, efficient and honest. They quickly found me properties, did the negotiating and settled the deal, saving me a lot of time and money, Thanks guys, you did a fantastic job.

Leon

My wife and I were looking for a CBD apartment as a home. Frank and the team at Advantage went above the call of duty time and time again to not only find us a great property, but also to get us a great deal (well below the listed price). Frank was even negotiating and locking in the deal on our behalf on Christmas Eve! I would have no hesitation recommending Advantage Property to act as buyer's agents for anyone from first time buyers to seasoned real estate investors.

Dear Thomas, Not sure where to start this. Today is the day - no more sleeps, the keys to the front door. It all happened so quick really. I do want you to know that I appreciate everything you have done for me - you really did go out of your way and for this I'm truly grateful. I've also made a great new friend along the way and have enjoyed the chats and laughs. I will never forget what you have done for me. So today l say Thank You from us. Kind Regards, Graeme H.

I am thrilled with the professionalism and skill of the team at Advantage Property Consulting, especially Tom Georgiou. I love my new investment and look forward to the next one.

Money well spent – I have the right property and learned a few new skills along the way. I was previously dealing with a wealth creator to buy a property off the plan. Looking at what l have now, I can see what a mistake that would have been! I’ll have much better growth and rental income with the apartment Tom purchased for me.

Helen R

You beat me to it, but l was planning to send you a note to say thank you. I hope I can convey in writing what I feel, but as l was driving home from Phillip Island on Saturday, I felt really grateful for all the help you have provided me. Doing everything solo is often a great burden but l feel that I have had some great guidence and you were really looking out for my best interests. You have spent a lot of time researching, negotiating, building contacts and meeting me in Phillip Island and I really appreciate it. Thank You....

Louisa

My whole experience with Advantage was a positive one from beginning to end. Tom was my consultant and he handled my 1st investment purchase in a highly professional manner. Of course I had many questions and these were answered clearly. I found him most helpful and friendly when contact was made on a regular basis.... I felt l was guided through the whole process and had full confidence with the Advantage team. I would highly recommend family and friends to use their services.

I was looking to upsize my home and didn't want to go through the rigromal of searching. I know Frank is extremely passionate about his job and l knew l could trust Advantage. I decided to go the full service, so every Friday l would meet Frank and we'd visit about five properties to get a feel for the market. It was great as l didn't have to combat the general public with stock standard open for inspections.

Each week we would fine tune what l was after and since Frank knew every agent, he was getting the heads up before properties were even going on the market. The support of Frank on auction day was outstanding, his plan of attack text book and l secured my dream home under budget! Overall a great experience that l would recommend to anyone.

Mellisa F

After months of searching the market, we chanced upon a winner! As the auction promised to be popular we sought out Frank Valentic at Advantage Property Consulting for advice. Within hours of meeting, Frank was on the case. Within days he had organised a building inspection and placed an offer. Within a week Frank had secured the sale leaving the rest of the field behind and us with the keys.

Frank exceeded our expectations by listening carefully to our needs, acting quickly and decisively while maintaining attention to detail and keeping us informed through the whole process in an open and upfront manner. I would recommend Advantage to anyone who is looking at buying a property.

Michael

We have been with Advantage for several years now, after they brokered a great deal on the purchase of a rental property in St Kilda. They now manage this property for us in Melbourne and they are by far the best property managers we have used. Easy to deal with, efficient and professional. We have no hesitation in recommending them.

Nicole & David L

I appreciate your help in securing the purchase of our property well below the estimated market price, at least $20,000, maybe even $30,000. You worked diligently and efficiently from the first moment, when I called you at home on a Saturday night. Not many people would do that. This is already the second property I have bought with the help of Advantage and I can only recommend their services at the highest level.

Peter & Eva

Thank you so much. From the very first moment I met Julie, Advantage have been nothing but friendly, professional and sincere in their actions. Julie is professional, totally honest, knowledgeable, thorough and diligent, with regular updates, even over weekends. She took the stress out of finding a new property and made the experience an enjoyable one. I can't recommend Advantage enough and will be using their services again in the future, if the book I am currently writing becomes a best seller!

Rob

If it wasn't for Frank Valentic and the team at Advantage l wouldn't be where l am financially today. Frank helped me purchase my very first property when l was 21 years old and he was just starting out in the industry. He has provided me with personal service still to this day even though his business has expanded. The team have helped me purchase, sell and rent many properties over the years and l can't recommend them enough.

It's a rarity that such emphasis is put on the customer in the real estate industry and Frank and his team do this exceptionally well. Thanks for all your support, advice and assistance to help me achieve my personal goals.

Roberto P

What incredible, enthusiastic service and a truly exceptional team. Your competitors should be scared of you guys...you are better than most put together.

Vanessa

Having been aware of Advantage Property and the Group Block Strategy for a period of time via acquaintances, we decided to approach Frank and his team to discuss our specific goals.

My partner was initially sceptical prior meeting Frank thinking this was another “get rich quick” property spruiker, but after one meeting he was convinced this was a legitimate strategy with obvious financial benefits.

We are about to settle on our first block purchase and are already discussing our next.

Frank and the entire team have been an absolute pleasure to deal with and have made the process from start to finish effortless. I could not recommend them more.

Christine

I would like to express my gratitude to you and thank you on being a fantastic property manager. From a tenant!

I have sadly had many lacklustre property managers over the years in my rental history. So when one such as yourself comes along I feel the need to pass on feedback. People are quick to complain and not compliment.

Sarah

It takes a special person with the right organisation and human relation skills to handle an Owners Corporation such as ours which has 920 apartments with a vast population of diverse characters.

Philip

I had previously purchased through Advantage Property and had great success in securing a property well below asking price. Five years later I have now sold through Advantage and made $30,000 over the reserve price. Frank, thank you to you and your staff for excellent customer service and a focus on getting a great result. You and your teams advice, whilst both buying and selling, has enabled me to be one step closer to financial freedom.

Just wanted to take the time to say a quick thank-you for the Investor Club that you put on last night.  Highly informative, and a great chance to meet a few more of the Advantage team as well as to hear from other Advantage property investors.

 An ideal opportunity to learn a little bit more about Advantage and their strategies within the property market- I can certainly say I feel confident in talking about your business to potential investors. 

Will certainly be chalking down some time in my calendar for the next event in November.

B. Leembruggen (Finance Broker)

Just wanted to say thank you for all your help with the purchase of the property in Walsh St South Yarra. You made the process very easy and your manner and professionalism is outstanding.

As we are from Sydney the two markets could not be more removed from one another and you made our decisions much easier. We have been looking in Melbourne for 6 months  and within a month of engaging your services we had a property and sighed on the dotted line.

To Crystal and Arpita thank you for your professionalism also, you got back to us when you said you would and you had the answers for us when you said and never left us waiting.

So overall would we recommend you to others? yes and we already have.

We are also more than happy for you to give our details to others so we can recommend your services.
