Weeks 1 to 2: Market Intelligence Phase

• Identify three to four target suburbs based on your goals, such as inner east prestige or bayside lifestyle
• Receive weekly market reports covering what is selling and what is sitting
• No property inspections yet, this stage is purely about strategic positioning

Weeks 3 to 4: Shortlisting

• We inspect eight to twelve properties on your behalf across your chosen suburbs, for example Richmond, South Yarra, Prahran, Hawthorn or Elwood
• Video walkthroughs sent within twenty four hours
  
• We narrow the list to two or three serious contenders

Weeks 5 to 6: Due Diligence

• Building and pest inspections, strata reports and feasibility analysis
• Comparable sales reviewed and pricing strategy set
• Discussion on whether to pursue auction or private treaty
• You fly in for final inspections if possible, otherwise we proceed remotely with full representation

Weeks 7 to 8: Execution

• • Auction day or negotiated offer
• Conveyancing begins
• Settlement usually falls within thirty to ninety days

Total timeline
Roughly sixty to one hundred and twenty days from first conversation to keys in hand. The overseas clients who succeed are not the ones who rush. They are the ones who let the first month be about education instead of transactions.

Buying from abroad requires more patience at the beginning, but significantly less stress at the end.
