Why Australian Property? A Foundation for Lasting Wealth.

Australia's property market stands out as one of the most stable and secure investment environments globally, offering remarkable long-term benefits:

  • Consistent Growth & Stability:

    Over the last 30 years, Australian property prices have grown an average of 7% per year, largely unaffected by global financial crises. This proven track record offers a level of stability unrivalled in other asset classes.

  • Rapid Population Growth:

    Cities like Melbourne are experiencing significant population booms, driving robust demand for housing and ensuring low rental vacancy rates (as low as 1.8% in Melbourne).

  • Strong Rental Yields:

    Enjoy consistent passive income from properties in highly desirable areas known for strong tenant demand.

  • Transparent & Secure Legal System:

    Australia's legal framework, based on the UK system, provides a familiar and secure environment for foreign investors, with clear government approvals through the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB).

  • Access to Financing:

    Major Malaysian banks like Maybank, CIMB, and OCBC offer financing options for Malaysian investors, simplifying the purchase process.

  • Exceptional Liveability:

    Melbourne and Perth consistently rank among the world's most liveable cities, attracting strong talent pools and sustaining property values.

Jolene 帮助我在海外的亲戚成功购置了澳洲的投资房。我们非常感激她的经验、专业、细心和耐心。我的亲戚是第一次海外置业又不熟悉澳洲情况,几个月内问了无数问题,前后考虑了十几处房产。Jolene 一直都是悉心回应,甚至还主动指出很多我亲戚没有意识到的弊端。从购房、交割、租赁,Jolene 给了我亲戚一条龙的服务,帮我们省下了很多操心事。房子现在顺利地租出去,价值和房租都呈健康增长态势。 多谢Jolene! Highly recommended! 👍

I had the pleasure of working with Jolene recently when I was looking to buy a property in Melbourne, and I have to say, she was an absolute star. From the moment we first connected, Jolene was friendly, approachable and professional. She took the time to really understand my needs and preferences, and worked tirelessly to find me options that ticked all the boxes.Jolene's knowledge of the Melbourne property market catering to the needs of a foreigner is second to none, and she was able to guide me through every step of the buying process with ease. She was always quick to respond to my WhatsApp, emails and phone calls, and was happy to answer any questions I had along the way.What I appreciated most about Jolene, however, was her honesty and integrity. She never tried to push me towards a property that wasn't quite right for me, and was always upfront about any potential issues or challenges with a property. This made me feel confident that I was making the right decision, and I ended up finding a unit that our family absolutely love.Overall, I can't recommend Jolene highly enough. If you're looking for a property agent in Melbourne who is knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cares about finding the right choice for you, then Jolene is the one to choose. Thank you, Jolene, for all your hard work and support!"

Jolene is an absolute gem of knowledge. From the get-go, she’s displayed adept skills in listening to her clients’ needs prior to selecting locations. In the search for luxuriously affordable apartments located near University via public transport, Jolene smoothly helped both my partner’s and own parents (from Indonesia & Malaysia) set up investments for us. This has helped built a strong foundation of our property ventures, which we plan to dive deeper in the future. Being kind, easy to communicate with and mindful when listening, I highly recommend Jolene to anyone who’s just began searching for properties, especially foreign parents planning for their children. Lastly, to Jolene, thank you again for the wonderful service you’ve provided us with.

I invested two overseas properties consecutive through a property broker. I didn’t receive my expected services from the broker, and Jolene stepped up providing her best knowledge and support professionally. After the handover, it was unfortunate for the poor Lettings management. Again, Jolene picked up my concerns and dealt with it from all her networks. I would highly recommend Jolene to you if you are a property investors. I am sure that you will have a peaceful mind and security from Jolene’s support!

It’s great to deal with professional advisers who are themselves successful and invest in what they recommend. Dealing with ARE gave me and my clients great confidence because they have a presence in Australia and Malaysia and have been helping investors for two decades. Investors have seen great results with their property portfolio and continue to return for reviews and to expand their investment portfolios which is a testament to their delivery of sound advice. ARE take the time to understand us and handpick properties to suit our needs and apply thorough due diligence. Many thanks to the team.
