We strive to inspire you to hit your financial goals
Our mission at Property Principles is to provide our clients with investment grade properties with strong capital growth prospects, positive yields that are purchased under market value. The properties we buy will NEVER be brand new or off the plan, these are not investment grade properties, our purchases are focused on the best returns for you, we do not work for anyone but our clients.
We are a full service buyers agency who bring transparent, fiercely researched, unbiased and professional property data and market analytics to our clients.
This means that we are able to provide solutions that are both comprehensive and objective. Our aim is to provide independent advice to anyone who is looking for expert guidance regarding their property portfolio (existing or not yet started).

Take action while saving your weekends
Purchasing a property is one of the largest financial decisions you will ever make, which can bring along with it a very emotional and stressful experience……along with large consequences for messing it up.
The major advantage of using our service is that we do the hard work for you, we have been buying property for years and you can leverage that experience, so you can get your life back (along with a quality property at the best price).
We understand that our clients lead busy lives and don’t necessarily have the time to spend hours researching properties, or staying up late on Realestate.com.au and Domain.com.au, nor flying to the location (we do that for every area we buy), going to countless open homes and all that running around.
The outcome of a quality property is all you want.
With our independent research and state of the art property tools, we do all this on your behalf, coming up with tailored options which are specifically chosen to work for you.

Our Team
We are passionate about property and we like to think that this passion is about so much more than just property and investments, numbers and spreadsheets, it is also about the relationships we build with our clients.

We are exceptionally privileged when we are asked to assist our clients to help grow their investment property portfolios or even kick start their first purchase.
Our goal is not only to find the ultimate solution for them, but to do so in a manner which ensures continued success by choosing locations primed for capital growth.
Our business has grown from word of mouth recommendations and referrals of happy clients who have used us, those who swear by our commitment to delivering excellent service, coupled with solid advice!

He was such a wealth of knowledge and information, super professional and completely invaluable to us in our property investment journey.

We are so grateful for everything you did for us, we can't thank you enough Joe!"
Sam and Nat W
"Joe and his team are amazing to deal with, can’t recommend them highly enough. I have known Joe for a while now through the community and knew that his knowledge and negotiations skills were great, and that they would help me find my property. I reached out with a plan and a tight time frame to purchase in, not only did they deliver in finding me a great property but they managed the whole process from start to finish."
David W
"We’d like thank Joe, Kat & the team for all their help securing this property for us. Not only did they make the entire process much easier but they were always there with help and advice. Through the buying and renovating process they were awesome to deal with and not only found a property to add value to, we also bought it well under market value, allowing us to build equity to continue growing our portfolio."
