Investors
We guide our clients on where to buy, the streets to buy in and the property to buy to achieve their investment goals. Our sophisticated tracking system and network of top agents ensures we identify investment grade properties as they come onto the market, so our clients never miss an opportunity. We then manage the entire process from acquisition to settlement.
Homebuyers
Through our customised service we’ll work in partnership with you to ensure you buy the Melbourne home of your dreams. We will sit down with you to determine your ‘must haves’ and ‘would-be-nice’ before we commence an extensive search of the market. Or you might choose to identify a property and have us bid at auction on your behalf or negotiate a winning deal.
As Melbourne’s premier vendor advocate, we can provide independent, impartial advice on how to analyse your property investments or home, select and manage the selling agent and protect your interests throughout the selling process.
A property portfolio needs to perform consistently above inflation and the wider market to ensure your plans for financial independence are on track.
To help ensure you stay on track throughout your investment journey Wakelin can help with a comprehensive review of your property portfolio. This is a complimentary service for existing clients or available on a fee for service basis.
Clients trust us to act in their best interests and that trust translates into long-term relationships, word-of-mouth referrals and repeat engagements.

The property you assisted my son Ryan with will settle in the next few days. I would like to place on record my thanks for your assistance and the professional manner in which this assignment was undertaken. This was no “quick fix” by money grabbing agents but a measured and well thought out plan which was geared towards satisfaction for Ryan in his first foray into the property market.

Thank you to the Wakelin team for once again purchasing an excellent investment property at well below the estimated selling price. Sue and I never thought we would ever be able to buy into an area such as Armadale, however the Wakelin team made that possible. We look forward to using your services again in the near future.”
