We engaged with Search Property after…
We engaged with Search Property after discovering their content on YouTube and were immediately impressed by the clarity and consistency of their communication.
From our initial consultation to being presented with a property, the process took around three months—an efficient turnaround we felt was quite reasonable.
The property offered to us was in Mildura for $495,000, with Search Property advising a comparable market value of $516,000. Based on the images and reports shared, the home appeared dated but in generally sound condition, so we trusted the process and proceeded (despite seeing that realestate.com.au had a property valuation of $445,000). However, we now acknowledge that we made a rushed decision—agreeing within a few hours and without conducting our own due diligence or requesting updated photos or videos.
After signing the Contract of Sale, the building and pest reports revealed the property was in below-average condition and required thousands of dollars in repairs. While the issues weren’t sufficient to legally void the contract, we did negotiate a $8,000 reduction with the seller, which we appreciated, as they were not obligated to do so.
We found that Search Property had done strong due diligence on the location and projected rental returns, but it’s likely they were misled by the selling agent—who had previously managed the property and was aware of its true condition. The selling agent (not search property) appeared to target interstate investors who were unlikely to inspect the home in person and would rely heavily on reports.
In terms of property management sourcing, this was one of the more disappointing aspects. The original recommendation from Search Property was the selling agent’s company, which had previously underreported the property’s condition – we opted to not use them. The second contact provided by Search Property did not respond for over a week. Ultimately, we sourced our own property manager and are pleased with that decision.
Despite the unexpected issues, we are grateful for Search Property’s support throughout the process. They helped simplify what could have been an overwhelming experience in a new market. Our property does need significant TLC, but it is currently achieving a solid rental yield, and we remain optimistic about future capital growth, in line with Search property’s projections.
Our Advice to Future Clients:
• Always request recent photos or videos with a visible date stamp.
• Have an trusted party – independant from Search property and their network (e.g., a trusted mortgage broker or conveyancer) review the property to give you an unbiased perspective.
• Unless the property manager sourcing process improves, we strongly recommend doing your own research to find a property manager who aligns with your expectations for long-term support.
In summary, Search Property delivered on communication and area research, but our experience highlights the importance of doing your own checks—especially when it comes to property condition and property management.

Buying well is everything
We considered to choose SP based on what we saw Ravi’s say on his YouTube channel. Having completed the purchase of our new investment property we can say that we were not disappointed. Ravi has built a robust team who are very passionate about helping clients to build a strategic and best performing property portfolio. We will be back when we find funding for our next project.

A team that has it all!
We approached team at Search Property to assist us in finding property for our SMSF investments. They had an entire team to help with set up, finance and buying the property. They were full of knowledge and always available to help us with any questions or updates. We plan on using Search for all of our Investment Property purchases in the future.

Highly recommended using search property
Highly recommended using search property as your buyers agent. Just bought my second investment property with the help of Ian from search property. The team at search property are the go to when it comes to answering any of my enquiries, there response time is fast. They where there to help with every part of the journey and make me fill confident when buying my first investment property, and have done an even better job the second time. From contacting me with a mortgage broker, to finding me a solicitor, sorting out the building inspection and even organizing the property manager. The have made the buying process super easy. Ian was my go to person for any questions and concerns I had thought out the intier process. The team at search property were able to find me my first investment property with great rental yield and after 12 months have high capital growths. I have no doubt that the second property they have just help me perches for me will have similar returns. I would not have been able to find such a great properties on my own. Im very happy to have there team helping me build my property portfolio. Hugh thanks to ravi, Ian and the team at search property.

Our assessment after analyzing reviews
Below are the analyze and conclusion of us about above reviews
The initial statement “Written by the website’s owner” is clearly a marketing piece, highlighting the company’s supposed values and expertise. It’s a self-promotional piece, and thus should be taken with a grain of salt. It presents a positive view of the company but provides no independent verification.
Bryce Allen’s Review: This review is highly positive, awarding a 5-star rating. Bryce highlights the team’s effectiveness, particularly praising Ian Dusmore. The review emphasizes good communication, responsiveness, and the reviewer’s intention to pursue further investments. While positive, the language is fairly generic (“great to deal with,” “no issues”), which could suggest a less detailed and potentially less authentic experience. However, the specific mention of Ian Dusmore adds a touch of credibility.
Andrew Nguyen’s Review: Another 5-star review, this one focuses on the supportive and responsive nature of the Search Property team. It’s brief but positive, recommending their services. The succinct nature of the review makes it difficult to assess its authenticity definitively; it could be genuine, but more details would lend greater weight.
Jemma’s Review: This review is the most detailed and balanced. While ultimately giving a 4-star rating, it provides a lengthy account of their experience. It acknowledges Search Property’s strong communication and research, especially regarding location and rental returns. However, it also details a significant issue with the property’s condition, which was not fully apparent initially, leading to unexpected repair costs. The review highlights the importance of independent due diligence and suggests improvements in property management sourcing. The detail and honesty, including both positives and negatives, significantly enhance the review’s credibility. The specific advice to future clients further adds to the impression of a genuine experience.
Gary Harley’s Review: A 4-star review describing a generally easy process for first-time investors, with helpful assistance from the team. The mention of “teething issues” adds a touch of realism. The intention to use the service again suggests a positive overall experience, despite some minor problems. The brevity makes it hard to determine authenticity, but the realistic acknowledgement of minor issues adds some credibility.
Shivakumar Hiremath’s Review: This 5-star review mentions choosing Search Property based on their YouTube channel and expresses satisfaction with the purchase. The language (“robust team,” “passionate”) is positive but somewhat generic. The intention to return for future projects is a good sign. Mentioning Ravi’s YouTube channel does add specificity.
Luke Webb’s Review: A brief and enthusiastic 5-star review highlighting a smooth and low-stress experience, specifically praising Emma. The lack of detail makes it difficult to assess its authenticity definitively, but the mention of Emma lends a bit of credibility.
Christie Bonny’s Review: This 5-star review highlights the availability of an entire team to help with setup, finance, and buying, especially for SMSF investments. The mention of full knowledge and availability to help inspires confidence.
Kev’s Review: A glowing 5-star review that emphasizes the team’s exceptional service, particularly highlighting Emma and Deepak. It mentions a recommendation from multiple friends and the team’s expert guidance, leading to a successful first investment. The enthusiastic language (“Run don’t walk!”) suggests a very positive experience, but could border on being overly effusive.
Heath Clayton’s Review: This 5-star review focuses on the supportive nature of the team and their industry knowledge. It praises the feeling of being informed, prepared, and supported. Special thanks to Emma is mentioned again in another review, potentially indicating Emma’s a popular team member, or a standard line.
Harika’s Review: A 5-star review praising the knowledgeable team and their ability to make the investment property buying process feel easy. Specific mention of Lauren’s guidance and prompt responses is noted. The reviewer acknowledges being new to property investment and a busy person, which adds some context to their reliance on the team.
Luke’s Review: A brief and positive 5-star review, stating they’ve purchased two investment properties through Search Property and are happy with the portfolio’s growth. The short nature of the review makes it difficult to assess its authenticity definitively.
Sri’s Review: This 5-star review expresses gratitude to Ravi, Jonathan, and especially Ian, and their team for securing their first investment property. It acknowledges a long process due to job changes, but praises the team’s kindness, patience, and responsiveness.
Jenna Sexton’s Review: A 5-star review commending Lauren and the team for making their second investment property purchase possible. It highlights their attention to detail, clear communication, and organization of all parties involved. The intention to use the service for future investments is a positive indicator.
