Questions & Answers
Investment Grade Property helps investors identify and secure investment-grade residential property across Queensland and Victoria. Below are answers to the questions clients ask most often about working with a buyer's advocate, the IGP Investment Index and what to expect throughout the purchase process. If your question isn't covered here, contact Andrew directly for a confidential conversation.
A buyer's advocate (also called a buyer's agent) represents the purchaser in a property transaction. Unlike a selling agent, who works for the vendor, a buyer's advocate searches for, evaluates, negotiates and secures property on behalf of the buyer. At Investment Grade Property, this includes developing an investment strategy, identifying properties that satisfy the IGP Investment Index, conducting due diligence, negotiating price and terms, and managing the purchase through to settlement.
Investment Grade Property purchases exclusively in the Queensland and Victorian residential property markets. Andrew Vasiliades has built his own multi-million-dollar portfolio across these states and understands their markets, infrastructure pipelines and growth corridors in detail. Focusing on two states allows IGP to maintain deep, first-hand knowledge rather than spreading attention thinly across the country.
The IGP Investment Index is a proprietary framework of more than 50 independent investment criteria used to evaluate every property before it is considered investment grade. It covers economic fundamentals, infrastructure investment, demographics, housing supply, rental demand, owner-occupier appeal, scarcity and long-term capital growth potential. A property must satisfy the standards of the Index before it makes the shortlist. If it doesn't, it simply isn't recommended.
Buyer advocacy fees vary depending on the scope of the engagement and the complexity of the purchase. Investment Grade Property provides transparent pricing during your initial strategy session, so you know the cost before committing. The value of avoiding a single poor purchase, or securing a property at the right price, typically far outweighs the fee. Contact Andrew to discuss your goals and request a quote.
Investment Grade Property's vendor advocacy service comes at no additional cost to the seller. IGP is paid through a shared commission arrangement with the selling agent, so you receive expert guidance and independent representation throughout your sales campaign without paying extra fees. This includes selecting the right selling agent, negotiating commission, managing the campaign and supporting you through to settlement.
Yes. Unlike many buyer's agents who rely on third parties or remote assessments, Investment Grade Property inspects and videos every property it purchases in person. First-hand inspection is a critical part of the due diligence process. It ensures the property meets the standards of the IGP Investment Index and gives clients confidence that the recommendation is based on direct evidence rather than assumption.
