Home Buyers Testimonials

 

"I highly recommend Frank Russo’s services.

He is professional & very knowledgeable of the Eastern Suburbs property market."

Maria
Home Owner

 

"From the initial sit down conversation about service Frank provides to closing a contract was under 2 weeks!

Our initial requirements in what we were looking for, were all met.

Within a week we were briefed on 20 properties and physically saw 10.

Frank delivered well above our expectations and was extremely professional and a pleasure to work with.

He delivered the perfect property and probably saved us in the region of $150-250,000.

We would highly recommend Frank for anyone looking for a home or investment property and would definitely use Frank again if purchasing again in the future."

Peter
Home Owner

 

"My husband and I worked with Frank a few years ago to secure our first apartment.

It was such a fantastic experience, so when we were ready to upgrade to our first house we knew we had to work with Frank again.

We had been out of touch from the property industry for a few years, so Frank’s insight was extremely valuable as we navigated what we could get within our budget.

With limited stock coming to market on Domain and REA, Frank was able to connect with his network of agents and got us in to see a perfect off market property that ticked every box for us.

Even better – we were able to secure it below asking price in a rising property market too! Can’t recommend highly enough, and he’ll hear from us when we’re ready to do it all again in the future.

Thanks again Frank!"

Alison and Peter

 

"Having Frank in our corner during the process of buying our first property has given us comfort that one of the biggest decisions we will ever make was a good one.

Frank’s professional demeanour, thorough and realistic appraisals and honest communication has made him a pleasure to work with.

In this current “seller’s” market, Frank made us feel like we were on an even playing field, and in the end we secured a fantastic property at our initial offer that fell easily within our budget.

My wife and I said, on a number of occasions, 'we are so happy Frank is on our team'.

Thank you for all of your help and the peace of mind you provided, Frank!"

Pierce and Britta

 

"Highly recommend engaging Frank!

He has been a huge support for us particularly as we are not located in Sydney (based in Singapore) and were looking to invest in a property in the Eastern Suburbs.

All our interactions were done remotely but with open and timely communication so we didn't feel we were missing out by not being physically present.

We heavily relied on Frank's advice and his knowledge of the market and local connections. This trusted partnership paid off for us as we were able to secure a property within 3 months of engaging Frank's services at a competitive market price without physically seeing the property.

We are both very grateful to Frank for his support and guidance through this process and are very satisfied with the outcome. Thank you!!"

Liana & George

 

"Frank had a clear auction strategy and showed experienced negotiation skills post auction.

We can't thank you enough for helping us secure a great property in a fantastic location."

Marc & Avie
Sydney Home Buyers

 

"Exceptional.

Frank helped us secure a wonderful home in the Eastern Suburbs within two weeks of engaging him and under budget.

To say we were delighted by the experience is an understatement. Having Frank in your corner is a great advantage when navigating the Sydney property market.

His knowledge of the market, ability to access property, the short list he collates for you, his negotiating skills and professionalism make buying property a pleasure. I highly recommend engaging his services."

Betsy
Eastern Suburbs Home Buyer

 

"Frank Russo’s industry expertise and approach throughout our property buying experience was exceptional.

Frank took the time to get to know us and listened to our needs effectively as we went on our property buying journey with his skillful analysis of the market.

Frank was available, a great communicator and was able to intuitively understand the deeper reason behind the questions we had.

Frank’s expertise of the property market combined with his previous experience in the building trade meant that not only could he offer expert advice to secure a great home, but also was able to see past some of the cosmetic requirements of the inspections we made to judge the level of extra investment that would be required.

It was evident that Frank had excellent relationships in the industry and demonstrated skillful negotiation to secure our dream home.

In addition to all of the above, Frank had great connections for all of the services we needed post-sale making it so much less stressful.

I would recommend Frank unreservedly."

Eve
Eastern Suburbs Home Buyer

 

"Best customer service I have experienced since I can remember.

Frank is dedicated, committed, honest, transparent, and operates with a very high level of integrity.

I would highly recommend Frank to anyone looking to buy a home or investment property. We exchanged today and I have already recommended Frank to close friends and family.

Frank successfully navigated, guided, negotiated, and executed on a home acquisition for my wife and I in less than 2 weeks. Is this a record Frank?

He is an expert negotiator and saved us significantly more than what we may have otherwise paid for a property, in an incredibly short amount of time."

 

James K.
Bondi Home Buyer

 

“We used Frank to buy an investment property and were very happy with the whole experience.

Frank put together a good shortlist, did thorough due diligence and got us to a place where we had two properties we liked.

He then negotiated on each and got us a purchase price we were very pleased with.

Everything was very smooth.”

 

M. Abbott
North Bondi Property Buyer

 

"I would like to thank Frank for helping me navigate the challenges of buying a home in the Sydney market.

His expertise and guidance made the process so much easier and I would highly recommend his services."

 

Charmaine
Lane Cove Buyer

 

“Frank provided a five star service from engagement until settlement.

He went above and beyond to find my dream home.

I would recommend Frank to anyone seeking a high-quality buyer's agent that specialises in the Eastern suburbs."

 

N. McGuire
Eastern Suburbs Home Buyer

 

"We were looking to buy our first property in Sydney and wanted to purchase in an area that was both very liveable and would provide higher than average capital growth. We've spent several months looking for our first home and probably inspected around a hundred of different properties in different suburbs before finally deciding to get help from a buyer's agent. Thanks to Frank, in just three weeks we were able to secure an off-market property that we wouldn't be able to purchase otherwise. Frank's been a great mentor and we've learned a lot about what makes a good property choice and how to find the best investment opportunity. It's not just as simple as buying whatever you like.

If you are still hesitating about hiring a buyer's agent, I would tell you that hiring Frank is the smartest financial choice you can make. His professionalism will help you save time, money, and achieve the best outcome."

 

Kateryna
Home Buyer - Randwick

 

"Frank Russo is a real professional, he understood what I was looking for and wasn't afraid to speak his mind.

I can see he's very experience in the market and his advice was valuable in helping me deciding on my first investment property.

Even though my property value is small compared to some of the work he does, at no times I felt rush or push to make a decision and Frank made me feel important.

He's always available at all times, he's also generous with his advice in other aspect of property investment even though he's not paid for it.

Having Frank's help really took away a lot of the potential stress and making the entire experience much more positive."

 

Steven T.
Investment Property Buyer

 

"The Eastern Suburbs Real Estate market is vicious for a buyer, good properties often sell within days and there is no time to research to make sure you are buying the right property. I was struggling to buy in Bondi Beach, I was feeling overwhelmed and alone. I had a limited budget and very specific location requirements. I realised that a Buyer’s Agent would give me the help I really needed.

I met with the first 2 buyers agents, and found one local buyers agent was dishonest to me, the other didn’t specialise in the area.

I was then referred to Frank Russo, by a very well respected person in the eastern suburbs real estate industry and after we met, I knew I could trust him.

His knowledge of the local market, and his background as a builder, along with his strategies for finding off-market properties was definitely the combination of skills and knowledge I needed.

Frank worked hard to get me into off market properties, was balanced and honest with his recommendations and relentless with his negotiations. His assessment of strata reports, contracts and the complex selling and negotiating methods used by Bondi real estate agents was spot on.

He was calm and reassuring when I felt down, and didn’t give up when things looked grim.

Unbelievably I ended up in the driver's seat to choose between 5 properties at great prices and did not waste money on strata reports for properties I was never going to get.

He ended up securing me my favourite property, working extra hard to get me the best price. The final price he negotiated was well below the amount I had authorised him to bid to. I was amazed.

I really wish I had engaged Frank when I bought my previous property. He would have saved me a lot of money and heartache and would have identified the well hidden building defects.

I am very happy with the result!

He definitely saved me way more than his fee.

I highly recommend his services to anybody looking to buy property in the Eastern Suburbs. He is a fantastic buyers agent and an honest and wonderful person."

 

Lynne
Home Buyer - Bondi Beach

 

"After we spoke with Frank and he explained his process, methods and demonstrated his knowledge of the property and construction market and what to look for in an investment property; we knew we had made the right choice.

We thought we had a reasonably well defined brief with a few challenging variables, like the location was not fixed and that we would not be inspecting the property as we were living overseas. Frank gave us the immediate confidence to trust him and even prior to being formally engaged, he was looking for options out in the market.

Frank was consultative, professional, diligent and took the time to explain in detail the pro’s and cons for each property; and importantly not to deviate away from the "must haves" in our brief. Frank was always available and adjusted to our time zone which made the process very easy for us and we felt well informed all the time.

Within 2 weeks, Frank had shortlisted two different properties, been though our exhaustive list of questions and requests, completed the due diligence and were ready to negotiate and close. Frank clearly explained his strategies in the final stages and worked tirelessly over a few days and finally negotiated a great deal for us.

We would not hesitate to recommend Frank and look forward to engaging him for our next investment property!"

 

Ross
Home Buyer - Coogee

 

"What a great experience - signed on Sunday and bought the following Saturday! Frank helped us look past cosmetics and buy a place that was great value in a great location. The value that Frank brings far exceeds the initial outlay."

 

Michaela
Home Buyer - Bondi Beach

 

"After almost 7 years of looking for property in Sydney by myself, I decided that I had better get a buyer’s agent and I was recommended to see Frank Russo.

I have had the pleasure of working with Frank to buy a home in Sydney. I met him in February and within a month, we looked at so many places and he found what I wanted. I found Frank to be very passionate about what he does.

He took the time to listen to what I wanted and we saw many places and discussed all the advantages and disadvantages. His building background was very important in assessing each place we saw and he gave me an insight as to how much renovations would cost if required as well as the likely return on a potential property.

Frank was accessible and he made himself available at all times. He gave me a full appraisal on selected properties in a timely fashion. His customer service is outstanding.

His negotiation skills are excellent. He managed to achieve a price that I would not have been able to achieve myself. I have no hesitation in recommending Frank for his professionalism, his work ethic and his knowledge of the Sydney property market. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Thank you so much Frank!"

 

Michael
Bellevue Hill - Home Buyer

 

"Frank is the reason we ended up with our dream home.

His earnestness, professional integrity and domain expertise are unrivaled. From our first meeting, my husband and I were struck by Frank's genuine commitment to getting the right result for us at fair market value. That did not change throughout the process; he was patient, diligent and always had our best interests at heart.

It's clear why Frank is so well regarded in the industry. His appraisals are thorough and reveal decades of experience in the Sydney property market. Frank intimately understands the market; it's dynamics, politics and potential.

Ultimately, he stewarded us into a property in a great location, for a great price, and we could not be happier.

I cannot recommend Frank highly enough to any prospective buyer."

 

Jessie
Waverly St, Randwick - Home Buyer

 

"My wife and I were looking for our first home for about 8 months before we decided to engage Frank.

Within a couple of months we had purchased a home we never believed was within our scope. We couldn't be happier.

Frank works with the highest level of professionalism and guides you through what can be very stressful and emotional process.

He went above and beyond in finding our home and has given us the confidence and peace of mind that we bought a high quality property at a fair price.

I cannot recommend his service enough!"

 

Dan
Waverly St, Randwick - Home Buyer

 

"From our first meeting with Frank, we got a strong feeling that he understood our drivers for a purchase and our boundaries. Frank did a great job from there helping us with all aspects of our purchase, and I looked forward too all of our viewings and interactions. In some ways we wish the process had gone on longer! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend you."

 

Andrew
Home Buyer - Park Ave, Mosman

 

“If we could give Search Find Invest +6 stars we would. We can’t recommend Frank Russo highly enough as a buyer’s agent. Thank you Frank.

We chose you for your local knowledge and decades of experience in property as a buyer and builder. This expertise complemented everything we lacked in our property search.

Within 2 weeks, Search Find Invest had equipped us with the confidence to make an informed choice on a property that is not only right for us now, but a smart investment for us to grow into for the future, and in a perfect location.

Armed with a winning strategy and a genuine desire to achieve the best outcome for us he then negotiated the best property buy in the suburb all year!

Frank, we can’t thank you enough for being in our corner.”

 

Adeline
Eastern Suburbs Homebuyer

 

“Frank is a Superstar!!

We have been looking for a sydney property for the last 6 months and after alot of stress we were getting ready to just settle.

Frank was recommended to us and he immediately gave us confidence that we would find our dream home.

He is clearly dedicated to the industry, and his professionalism and attention to detail again gave us confidence in a very trying time for us.

2 Weeks later we have our dream house!! and while he was realistic and told us we may have to wait until next year, his hard work paid off including negotiating the DEAL OF A LIFETIME!! ( Thanks again Mate!)

We saw houses we never had access to, he kept us focused on what we wanted!

He approached every property professionally with pros and cons, He never rushed or pushed us on a property, telling us “if it’s not perfect I will find it for you”! And most importantly gave us confidence in a market that is tough!

Thank you. I really cannot Thank him enough!

We have our family home in Sydney, and will be using Frank for Every future purchase!”

 

Adam
Eastern Suburbs Homebuyer

 

“Frank helped us secure an investment property at a price we were happy with and minimum fuss.

He worked diligently and professionally to get the job done.

A pleasure to meet and work with!

We recommend him wholeheartedly.”

 

M. Richardson
Eastern Suburbs Investor

 

“Working with Frank took a lot of the intimidation of navigating the property market in Sydney.

As a first-time buyer it gave me the confidence I needed to make a big decision.

I felt that Frank really listened to what I was looking for in a home and financial investment and was able to balance both of those with a result I'm happy with, and he continues to help even after I've moved in.”

 

R Kumar
Coogee Homebuyer

 

“We engaged Frank after meeting with two other buying agents. We chose Frank because we wanted to buy in Maroubra/Matraville area and being a Maroubra boy himself he came across as highly knowledgeable in terms of market movements in the area.

Being in the building industry before was a great help too as he was able to look at properties and be able to provide recommendation on potential renovation options.

After three weeks of searching, we ended up buying the first house that we inspected (dream house that was beyond our reach). It was through Frank's tenacity that we were able to secure the property.

Throughout the process, Frank has been professional, consultative, diligent, highly knowledgeable, sincere, trusting and honest.

He is very passionate about what he does and that comes through. We have really enjoyed working with Frank and hope that we will have the opportunity to work with him in future."

 

Fabien Chuilon
Eastern Suburbs Homebuyer

 

“That's the second time that Frank helps us securing a beautiful property in the Eastern Suburbs.

Frank is extremely professional, experienced and helpful, a pleasure to work with.

With our first property he negotiated for us securing the place before auction, this time he managed to find an off-market unit that ticked all the boxes and more.

Thank you, Frank!”

 

Giulia C
Eastern Suburbs Homebuyers

 

“I’d like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Frank for recently helping us to purchase our dream home, which we would never have bought without him.

After searching for the perfect home for over two years with no luck, we realised we needed professional help to get through the rather stressful and intimidating experience.

We were very nervous about the whole auction/negotiation process and had been through a few bad experiences with a number of underquoting, being lied to by sales agents and losing out on properties at auction.

After engaging Frank’s services, we were happy to find someone who was passionate about helping us, would listen patiently to our needs and gave us candid and impartial advice at all times.

Importantly, we always felt that Frank was working on our side and looking after our best interests, and it was extremely comforting to know that we had him representing us to professionally negotiate with sales agents or bid at auction on our behalf.

Frank’s enthusiasm, drive and assertiveness gave us confidence that we would find the right house at the right price. With the property we loved, which we didn't think we would be in the running for given the pricing feedback, Frank was somehow able to make it ours within a few hours at a great price.

This outcome was no doubt due to his superior negotiation skills and business savvy. The speed and efficiency with which Frank worked to ensure that the sale was completed in such a short amount of time was nothing short of amazing.

I have no hesitation in recommending Frank to anyone who is serious about buying a property. We wish we had used him sooner to save us all those months of going to property inspections every weekend… thank you so much for everything!

 

Emma and Jayben
Sydney Homebuyers

 

“We’re very grateful to Frank and would absolutely recommend him.

Frank bid for us, gave us good analysis and advice on the price range to expect and had a very effective bidding strategy.

Very friendly and professional, we felt well supported on auction day.”

 

Matt – Alexandria

 

“Frank Russo is fantastic! After close to two years of searching we finally decided to engage a Buyer's Agent and Frank did not disappoint.

At our first meeting Frank said we should have something locked in within 3 weeks (which we thought was agent talk). Within 2 weeks of signing up with Frank we had exchanged contracts.

Frank is responsive. He kept us up to date on a daily basis of the listings and his analysis in respect of each property using a very user friendly portal. Not being from the Eastern suburbs ourselves and being very time poor, Frank inspected a number of properties on his own on the weekends and gave us a shortlist of properties that matched our criteria. He then picked us up, drove us to each appointment and back again.

He made all relevant enquiries during the due diligence phase and did all the liaising with agents, negotiating the price, etc. His knowledge of real estate in the Eastern Suburbs and his calm and calculated approach (not to mention his background in building) make him very valuable in the buying game.

Frank also produced a couple of property reports that helped us to see the investment potential of the properties that we were considering which we found very useful.

I highly recommend Frank.”

 

Eva and Dimitri
Bondi Beach Investors

 

“We had been looking for 10 frustrating months before we engaged Frank. 2 months later we bought our home and couldn't be happier.

It was one of the multiple off market opportunities he found for us, is beyond what we thought was achievable and for a great price.

Frank was great to deal with, very hands on and attentive (we spoke most days over the two months) and took the time to get to know us and really understand our needs.

What’s more, Franks background as a builder was invaluable to point out what changes were and weren't feasible to the properties we were looking at and the approximate costs.

Couldn't recommend Frank more highly.”

 

Anthony O'Byrne
Eastern Suburbs Homebuyer

 

“Frank found my dream home off market, almost ticked all my boxes and within my budget.

Frank was very thorough and gave some good tips and advice about adding value and improvements to my property.

Highly recommend Search Find Invest to help you find your next property.”

 

Sue Williams
Bondi Beach Homebuyer

 

“When the situation arose and we begin the process to find a new property, we were informed that a person with all the right credentials to help us find a new and suitable residence was a Buyer’s Agent named Frank Russo.

After being introduced to Frank and outlining our requirements to him, it was obvious from initial contact that he was totally conversant with all aspects of the property market.

In our subsequent dealings with Frank we always found him to be professional, friendly and courteous, and nothing was ever too much trouble to him, in his endeavours to find exactly what we required.

Within a relatively short period, Frank found the perfect home for us and we became aware of all the work, research and time-consumed, that had been taken by him to come to this stage.

We cannot thank him enough for all his help and guidance throughout this stressful time in our lives and his continued assistance is greatly appreciated.”

 

Dennis and Frances Lawrence
Eastern Suburbs Homebuyers

 

“I cannot speak highly enough of Frank. He is amazing at what he does and is second to none.

Just over a week after engaging Frank, we have already secured a property that we had fallen in love with.

Not only was Frank able to get us a better price than what we could have ever imagined, he has taken the stress and anxiety out of a process that is normally rife with uncertainty.

Frank is so genuine and his service is impeccable, his attention to detail and transparency throughout has been fantastic.

My partner and I have trusted Frank and let him guide us and I truly believe that the outcome we have received was only possible because we had a true master of his field on our side.

We cannot thank you enough, Frank!”

 

Laura and Dan
Inner West Homebuyers

 

“Wow, what a star! I can't speak highly enough about Frank and the value he added to my purchase process.

He made it stress free, enjoyable and very quick to find the unicorn of Bondi Properties (2bed, balcony, car park, ocean views at a very good price).

No one knows Bondi and the market as well as Frank does and his experience and relationships are invaluable in the end to end process of search, find, negotiate and process the purchase.

I highly recommend Frank's services to all that are looking for a property in Bondi”

 

Kat Percy
Bondi Homebuyer

 

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Frank to buy us a home. We engaged him in early January 2018 & within two months he had found what we wanted, where we wanted in our budget.

I found Frank to be very professional, friendly and honest. He was clearly passionate about it, making us feel comfortable with the process.

He took the time to be a great sounding board about the decisions we were making & before we knew it, we owned a new home!!

Look forward to working with you again some time Frank!”

 

Matthew and Catherine Bradd
Clovelly Homebuyers

 

"Absolutely fantastic service. Frank is extremely pleasant, efficient and so knowledgeable. I'm very happy with the way he managed my purchase and would not hesitate to recommend his service"

 

Colleen Kauter
Randwick Homebuyer

 

"We have recently bought our family home with the support from Frank.

We simply could not have bought this house without Frank.
We really enjoyed his experience, his hard-work to find us the right properties and his talent for closing the deal and getting us to the finish line.

All this in record time. Many thanks Frank."

 

Rosemarie and Andre
Eastern Suburbs Buyers Agent Clients - St James Rd, Bondi Junction NSW 2022, Sydney

 

“It was an absolute pleasure working with Frank. His focus, integrity and efficiency is exceptional and he truly wants to achieve the best result for his clients.

As soon as we engaged Frank he made himself available 24/7, answering emails and calls on the spot. He drove us to inspections, promptly answered any questions and gave us a full appraisal on our selected property (including detailed comparison analysis) within 24 hours.

His work ethic and customer service is outstanding. He also proved to be an invaluable sounding board and provided us with lots of ideas in helping us narrow down our search. His background as a builder was also very useful in determining how easy changes and renovations would be in a potential property.

His negotiation skills are excellent. He managed to achieve a price that we would not have been able to get ourselves, negotiating all of the conditions of the contract we requested.

We always had completely open and honest conversations and he always knew when something wasn't quite right. His background as an elite sportsman also means he reads people extremely well and is a very good judge of character.

We both have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Frank and will definitely use him again for our next property. He is the consummate professional and has a profound knowledge of the Sydney property market.”

 

Amanda and Peter Ewing
Randwick Buyers Agent clients

“I had been searching for a specific type of home for some time, with frustration and disappointment my only result.

I was referred to a Buyer’s Agent named Frank Russo, as a buying specialist in the Eastern Suburbs area.

Frank was a great assistance in the whole buying process, very professional and gave excellent advice.

I would highly recommend him to anyone searching for a property!”

 

Sally Thomson
Bondi Junction Homebuyer - Allens Parade, Bondi Junction NSW 2022, Sydney

 

“If you’re thinking of using a buyer’s agent, you NEED to use Frank Russo!

My husband and I had been looking for a year for our first apartment in Sydney’s East, though were always outbid on offers and at auctions, mislead by sales agents, and exhausted after a full Saturday of driving between inspections, and we were just over it.

Frank took all the stress out of the process, and within 24 hours of meeting him he had a shortlist of great relevant properties for us. On the list was a property we loved, but we were worried we might not afford it.

Frank developed a strategy for how we would approach our offer, and in under 2 weeks we had contracts exchanged on a beautiful 2 bed, art deco unit in Bondi! 100% recommend Frank!”

“I highly recommend Frank Russo.

He secured a fantastic Bondi property for me within a fortnight.

Prior to this I had been searching for close to two years. Frank is diligent, trustworthy, proactive and great at what he does.

His knowledge of the market and comparables helped remove uncertainty from the process, and most importantly he helped me find the best property in my price range and in my desired location.

Thanks Frank for a great experience”

 

Samantha
Homebuyer - Wellington St, Bondi Beach NSW 2026, Sydney

"Frank's speed, diligence and care towards his clients shone through immensely during our short period of working together.

Finding a property in the difficult market that is Sydney's eastern real estate proved to be far more achievable with Frank's expertise.

I would absolutely recommend Frank Russo for anyone considering purchasing.”

 

Ben Herro
Homebuyers - Forsyth St, Kingsford NSW 2032, Eastern Suburbs, Sydney

"We hadn't used a Buyers Agent before and were initially unsure of how much value a Buyers Agent was going to bring to the table.

After buying our home with Franks help, we have no hesitation in recommending him.

His experience, contacts and advice were extremely valuable and we feel we've made a great purchase in a short time frame with ease and very little stress.”

 

Supriya Ruparelia
Homebuyers - Ritchard Ave, Coogee NSW 2034, Sydney

 

"For 3 years I've tried to buy a property, always getting outdone by other buyers dealing with sellers agents and their games, so I decided to try to get a Buyers Agent.

Once when I met Frank I found out right away he was honest and down to earth and looking only after his customers, I found a unit I loved and was going to go to auction in 3 weeks ... Frank within 1 week got it for me for cheaper than I thought it would cost!

I could not believe it !!!! It didn't go to auction, I had tears in my eyes as this is my first property.

Frank Russo has been right there for me holding my hand through each step, really caring for me, I can call him anytime and he is always there to answer 100 of my questions and he also calls me to see how things are going as well.

Frank from the bottom of my heart thank you!!!!

If you are looking to buy property you need to get Frank by your side.

He is honest, down to earth, professional and cares, really, really cares about you and your needs. Again thank you, Frank !!!!"

 

Sasha Sinozic
Homebuyers - Tempe, Inner West, Sydney

 

“When I set out to work with a buyers advocate, I was looking for someone who was thorough, smart and was committed to securing me the best possible property within my price range.

Frank Russo was this and more. He exceeded my expectations at every turn.

His hard work, background knowledge, network and good sense of judgement were essential in securing me a property that I am delighted with.

I would not hesitate to recommend Frank to those who are buying their first (or tenth) property and who are struggling to get a read on the highly competitive and expensive suite of options in the eastern suburbs.

I am already looking forward to working with Frank when the opportunity next presents itself."

 

Alex Alderson

Adam Courtney
Double Bay Property Investment - Manning Rd, Double Bay, NSW 2028, Sydney

 

"We would wholeheartedly recommend Frank Russo as a buyers agent.

He found us an investment apartment within a few weeks of signing up. We are absolutely thrilled with the result.

Frank was very personable, professional and knew his 'stuff'!

He was a master negotiator and knew when to hold back and when to show his hand.

Frank's contacts with all the real estate agents in the area we were looking was invaluable in finding the right property.

We were initially hesitant as we hadn't used a buyers agent in the past but will now be using Frank for every purchase we make in the future and have already recommended him to our family and friends.

He managed to secure us a brilliant buy below market value and did all the research and foot walk for us. We both work full time so this too was invaluable.”

 

Mary McManus

"Frank Russo was a pleasure to work with!

He truly understood our needs and what we were looking for and persisted until he got the best outcome for us.

It was a smooth and enjoyable process from beginning to end and he took all the hard work out of searching and buying a home. Also Frank is very knowledgeable on all suburbs in Sydney which is bonus when your search criteria is rather large.

I will definitely be working with Frank again when we need to look for our next home!"

 

Jenny V
Investor - Penkivil St, Bondi, Sydney

“Frank Russo provided thorough and well thought out recommendations from which I ended up with my first investment property

All the recommendations were taken through a strenuous process before they were presented and were suited to my preferences which were explored during our catch-ups.

The amount of value that Frank provided was invaluable and everyone should speak to him before making any moves in the real estate space. Thanks Frank.”

 

John Warda
Investor - Brisbane Investment Property

"I'm one of those people and I have gladly referred Frank Russo to others before. He helped find 7 properties in Brisbane that met my key criteria to review and I bought one.

Frank did a great job and took the time to understand what I wanted and kept me well informed along the way.

I moved from Brisbane over 5 years ago and didn't have the time to fly backwards and forwards so I found the service invaluable in making a good investment."

 

Nick Munro
Investor – Chermside, Brisbane

"Frank Russo successfully delivered on a tough brief in an extremely competitive market much quicker than I thought was possible. Would be very happy to recommend."

 

Aaron Georgeski

“Working with Frank Russo and the team was simple, easy and exceptionally professional.

We would recommend the engagement of Search Find Invest to any buyer who would like to get a heads up in a very difficult market the right guidance to secure a property."

Jodi York
Homebuyer - Ashton St, Queens Park, Sydney

“Frank Russo achieved in 3 weeks what we had been trying to achieve for years.....a house for our family. (if only we had found him sooner)

Aside from the essential buyers agent traits; outstanding negotiator, vast contact list, good rapport with all local agents and inside knowledge, we particularly liked Frank for his genuine and non-pretentious nature.

He was incredibly patient whilst we deliberated over various options and provided sound advice backed up with facts, when necessary providing full property appraisals.

He also put up and assisted with the children on the occasions they were subjected to viewings!

I would definitely recommend Frank and hope to use him again in the future”

Anna Elvin-Jensen
Bondi Beach Homebuyer

“We were looking for a family home in Sydney's Inner West, had a limited budget and very tight requirements on the style of property and location we wanted; in short, it was a tough brief :)

6 weeks after we signed on Frank Russo successfully negotiated a pre-auction bid on an amazing place and we’re getting ready to move in.

Frank is dedicated, tenacious, strategic and brings with him a depth of knowledge and experience about the property market that gave us, as first home buyers, a competitive edge.

Frank manages the entire process end to end, searching for and refining properties to suit your brief, attending inspections and providing insights and analysis on the logical value of a property so you don’t put yourself in the position of becoming emotionally invested and overbidding.

Ultimate question: If I were looking to buy another property, would I use Frank again? Absolutely – he would be my first phone call.

I honestly believe we would have had zero chance of securing the right place without him”

 

Chris McInnes
Homebuyer - Mallett St, Camperdown, Sydney

“I cannot recommend Frank highly enough! If you are wondering whether to go with a buyers agent or not wonder no more.

Frank secured our place after just two weeks to the day of looking, as opposed to the months and months we spent on our own.

He is fantastic, gets on with your search immediately and provides great advice along the way. Myself and my partner are over the moon!!!

The list of specifications I gave Frank have been met, 100%.

As I said at the start of this review I absolutely cannot recommend Frank highly enough. Totally amazing!!! :)!!”

Janine White
Randwick Homebuyer

“Following a period of personal trauma, my family home was sold and I was facing a countdown to moving out with nowhere to go.

I was working full time, single parenting, house hunting, packing up my old life and wasting time and money as I missed out at auctions time and again. A close friend recommend a buyer’s agent, specifically Frank Russo.

At a time in my life when I was fragile, Frank was kind.

At a time when I needed advice, he was practical.

He listened carefully to my needs, visited my home and met my family to understand my lifestyle. Together we assessed scores of properties before eventually securing my future home.

Frank's background in trades meant he could offer suggestions to enhance the space further; as a savvy investor himself, he could explain the risk and opportunity my choice presented.

Against the odds we found a place I believe my family will be happy in, under budget thanks to Frank's superior negotiation skills and ability to secure pre-auction! We even managed to meet the deadline of my imminent settlement.

The property I selected was not off-market, a benefit I suspect many people predominantly associate with buyers agent services; but regardless the engaging, expert service I received was worth every cent.

Frank saved my sanity and changed the experience from traumatic to fun. From now on I shall always think of him as a friend.”

Zoe
Randwick Homebuyer

“Having Frank on our team was the best decision we could have made.

Within a week, we purchased our first investment property in an outstanding CBD location well within our budget.

We're convinced that this property would have been well beyond our reach if it weren't for Frank's fantastic negotiating skills

He was always quick to respond to any questions we had and his advice was invaluable.

Highly recommended”

Robert Perez
Darlinghurst Investor

Frank has purchased me yet another off market gem of a property in Bondi Beach to add to my portfolio. This property is so desirable that I have decided to move into it and enjoy for myself.

There is absolutely no way I would have been able to secure on my own.

Frank found the property and expertly negotiated the purchase, showing yet again he has mastered the skills of his craft.

Thank you Frank. ”

Nathan Moss
Home Buyer, Bondi Beach


“After a lengthy period of research and open days we found a property in a very popular area that ticked almost all of our boxes. We anticipated significant competition and decided to use a Buyer’s Agent to improve our chances of success. We interviewed various agents and felt most comfortable with Frank. This was without doubt the best decision we made.

Frank met with us after hours, listened to and heard all our concerns and came back to us with an estimate of the property’s value that turned out to be very accurate. He was available at short term for inspections and meetings. You can imagine our surprise when we decided to visit the property at 9:30 pm on a Friday night and found Frank standing outside doing the same.

Throughout the process, he was an incredibly stabling influence. He developed a strategy and was military-like in its implementation. Most importantly was the way he timed the execution to a successful pre-auction purchase.

This was the first time we had used a Buyer’s Agent and we initially thought this was expensive. Having completed the process, we can honestly say this was worth every cent. We are so pleased to have met Frank. We cannot recommend him highly enough.
Thank you so much Frank.”

Alan and Nicci
Home Buyers, Clovelly

 

“Vittoria and Frank were recommended to me by a friend to assist us in finding a new property for my fiancé and I.
We had been looking unsuccessfully for months and were becoming frustrated by the whole process! While we ended up finding the property on our own we enlisted Franks help for the auction process.

Despite engaging him late in the piece Frank immediately made himself completely available to us. He was available night and day via phone and replied extremely promptly which is invaluable when needing to make important decisions quickly.

I was feeling stressed and overwhelmed by the prospect of the auction process but Frank was magic in keeping the situation calm and explaining the whole process start to finish. His depth of knowledge and experience in the industry was extremely reassuring.

On auction day Frank's work was priceless! He secured our dream home on the first bid in a move that I have no doubt saved us over $100K! I literally cannot recommend Frank and his team highly enough. Thank you so so much! :-)”

Jay Bee

“Frank exceeded all of my expectations, saved me time and saved me money...my only regret was not engaging him sooner! Upon meeting Frank, I was impressed with his knowledge of the property market, his deep understanding of the buying process and his genuine interest in helping me to secure a property for a great price.

After spending a day inspecting houses with Frank, I was confident that he would not only meet the brief on my behalf, but that he would go out of his way to ensure he would exceed my expectations. Within less than a fortnight, Frank had secured a property before auction that ticked all of the boxes for me for a price that was well below what I had expected to pay (particularly at auction).

Throughout the process he listened carefully to my needs, prepared excellent detailed reports, followed up promptly and provided sound advice on my options without any pressure at all. The thing that stood out most for me was Frank’s passion to deliver an exceptional outcome for me. Frank genuinely cared about my needs and worked tirelessly to help me secure the right property at a fantastic price.

He also operated far beyond my expectations in his role as a buyers agent - I learnt so much through Frank offering some great advice and sharing some insights from his wealth of experience in building and investing. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and I have already recommended him to other people I know who are in a similar position to myself. My only regret is not engaging him sooner!”

Inner Sydney Home Buyer

 

After months of searching and failing at several final negotiations, I contacted Frank Russo. Frank outlined a thoroughly professional approach to the purchase of a two bedroom unit, and advised me on his approach to obtaining a property.

He was clear and confident of the pending success. Within 48 hours, I was viewing properties carefully targeted to my requirements.

Frank is diligent, and worked tirelessly to deliver a property better than my expectations given my limited budget. Within 2 weeks, I had succeeded with Franks expert advice and skills of negotiation.

My thanks to Frank Russo and his service. I highly recommend Frank Russo, a professional who delivers results, in this challenging market, in a timely manner, ”

 

Sincere thanks,
Dr. Maree Johnson


“We are very happy with the service Frank provided us and if you are planning to buy in the Eastern Suburbs we totally recommend him. His timeliness and experience have been pivotal in securing our property in just three days!”

“I met Frank Russo when he acted as a Buyers Agent for a family member.

I was impressed by his professionalism, and engaged his services for an investment property.

He has fulfilled all expectations to the utmost. He is loyal to me as his principal, seeking our properties, researching overheads and current market prices.

Readily available, and finally negotiating a satisfactory purchase price.

I can wholeheartedly recommend him.”

Royle Crooks
Investor – Eastern Suburbs

 

“Frank Russo was very professional, understanding, and patient through the entire process of our house search.

He was able to take our inputs and provide many options and ideas on how to proceed with securing a property. He gave us information on multiple suburbs and provided options that were suitable and appropriate for us in those suburbs.

Frank follows up promptly and was able to arrange inspections, private inspections, provided detailed valuations and comparable properties report when necessary.

Frank has the right negotiation skill.

We would definitely recommend Frank to secure the right property for you”

Arvind
Home Buyer – Lower North Shore

 

“I recently used Frank to purchase a property which I would not have otherwise known about as the property was an off market opportunity.

The house met every single criteria on my list. Until that purchase, I had never understood the benefit of a buyer’s agent as I had a good knowledge of houses for sale in the area.

Frank was so professional and made the whole experience stress free from start to finish and even after the sale process was completed.

Frank provided me with a comprehensive list of comparable sales in the area so that I knew if the property was priced well, arranged private inspections, prepared his own floor plan of the property, arranged a building and pest report within hours and even attended the auction and bid on my behalf.

I highly recommend using Frank as a buyer’s agent."

 

Luma Sherif
Home Buyer – Eastern Suburbs

 

“I have just successfully purchased a property using Frank Russo as my buyer’s agent.

“Frank's determination to find us the perfect investment opportunity was outstanding!

He kept us informed throughout the process, and didn't give up!

Thank you Frank for making it a pleasurable, and memorable experience! ... now... let's find the next one ;)"

Kim Wethmar
Home Buyer – Inner West

 

“I can't recommend Frank Russo highly enough.

We had never considered a buyer’s agent before and thought it to be too expensive or unnecessary but he has proved us wrong.

The market has been tough with very little stock and Frank's input was invaluable and very much great value.

He was always available, a great communicator and most importantly took the time to get to know us to refine what we were looking for.

What I liked about Frank initially was that his retainer was very low compared to the others we'd spoken to so he was willing to back himself to get us a result with a low risk to us.

He's a skilled negotiator and brings more than that with a background of building experience and a wealth of property knowledge that gave us confidence in his ability.

On top of that he's a genuine person who clearly has a passion for what he does.

We really enjoyed working with him and I'd strongly recommend at least talking to him to see how he could help your property search.

It's a tough market at present and our purchase was achieved on a very desirable property with a lot of competition in a timely manner. Many thanks Frank”

 Gerard and Genevieve
Home Buyers in East Willoughby, Lower North Shore

 

“I am glad I used the expertise of a buyer's agent like Frank.

He helped with the inspection and valuation of a property I was interested in.

He assisted in the negotiations with the seller's agent highlighting some important tactics that are employed in such process.

I eventually secured the property with a pre-auction offer which I don't think would have been successful if I were to do it alone.

I highly recommend his use”

"I had been looking to buy an investment unit for 2 years without success.

After meeting with Frank and briefing him, he found the type of unit I had been looking for within 1 month of our first meeting, an off market investment in Bondi of the Eastern Suburbs

Frank presented a number of properties in a short time frame, and negotiated successfully late on a Friday afternoon to secure my preferred property at a price below market value.

Frank saved me time in my search which in this rising market = money saved and gains made.

I am in the process of signing another agency agreement with Frank so I can get my next one as soon as possible”

"We spent many months trying to purchase a suitable property for our family, with no success.

Then we found Frank.

His calm, measured approach was just what we needed and within a matter of weeks he had located exactly the kind of property we had hoped for and secured it for us, hassle free.

He was encouraging, positive and professional the entire time and truly made it an enjoyable, stress free experience.

I can't thank Frank enough, I know we would not have found our new home without his help."

 Laura G
Home Buyer in Queens Park, Eastern Suburbs

 

"Frank made the whole process easy. Within 2 weeks we had a property that exactly matched what we were looking for, which was something to renovate and at a great price point. Having a builder's background was of huge benefit.

Extremely down to earth, Frank always had our back which is a rarity. Plus Frank also ended up getting us a great price for the property.

My first experience using a Buyers Agent and would highly recommend Frank to anyone in the future."

 Justine McKell
Home Buyer in Rose Bay, Eastern Suburbs

 

“I am a new houseowner and I can wholeheartedly recommend Frank Russo without reservation.

He made the entire process stress free. (and I was very stressed)

From our first meeting to today, Frank kept me informed every step of the way AND negotiated an amazing price for my purchase.

I cannot thank him enough. From viewings to arranging a lawyer to final negotiation Frank was outstanding!!

11/10 and a truly nice guy. You are safe in his hands.”

 Philip O’Donnell
Home Buyer in Carlton, Inner West

 

“I bought a property today after engaging Frank Russo whom I have known for a number of years. When I first started looking for a new home I simply wanted a bigger house, the ability to entertain friends and a car parking space. I was not prepared for the journey I was about to embark on and I learnt so much more than I expected about taking risks, trust, openness and being self-aware. I also learnt about being happy with my choices, acting quickly and taking chances in order to be successful.

Frank has been a mentor, guide, facilitator and master at his trade.

He is also a genuinely kind person who cares about the well-being of his customers and he never let me down.

I would highly recommend Frank. Today is great turning point for me. I hope it is also a great achievement for Frank, anyone who can help you see the future is definitely worth having on your side”

 Susanna Ianni
Home Buyer in Drummoyne, Inner West

 

“What a pleasure! Frank helped us secure our first home and we couldn't be happier. He is a family man with family values and our trust in each other was cemented from our first meeting together.

His helpful advice was offered for free on a number of occasions before we committed to enlisting him as our buyer's agent.

We are so happy we found Frank and SFI and would gladly recommend them to anyone else looking for assistance on the property market and securing a property. Feel free to ask Frank for my phone number if you'd like to discuss our experience further”

 Jeremy Kinstlinger
Home Buyer in Bondi Beach, Eastern Suburbs

 

“On the basis of my experience, that is to say, in finding for me an apartment that suited my fairly difficult requirements, Frank Russo has all the qualities required of a good Buyers’ Agent; and above all that of knowing when to look on and wait, and when to move.

And when he moves, he moves quickly, and with imagination and precision.

For me he has done very good works indeed!

 Mr. Ken Whisson
Home Buyer in Elizabeth Bay, Inner Sydney

 

"Having never used or contemplated using a buyer's agent before, I found Frank to be an invaluable asset in the whole stressful search process. Where I had previously spent up to 12 months looking for a property and been outbid on more than a few occasions, I found a very good property at a very good price within a few weeks, operating within a very tight budget, thanks to Frank's skill & determination.

Frank showed great skill in navigating every step of the process, from market research & scoping out suitable places, to expertly negotiating with the selling agents. He is calm, patient, thorough, knowledgeable, hardworking & generous, combining a great knowledge of the real estate industry with impressive building expertise & financial knowledge & judgment.

I would highly recommend Frank to anyone wanting to take the time & stress out of the buying process." 

Gillian Clyde
Home Buyer in Elizabeth Bay, Inner Sydney

 

“I recently purchased a property in Cammeray. I engaged a buyer’s agent after a few failed attempts of purchasing a property. I had spent a year driving around looking at properties that were gradually getting out of reach of my budget.

I was recommend by a real estate agent to Frank Russo. He introduced me to Sonia Jacob-Farr. We met on a cold dreary Friday night at her spectacular home.

Sonia and Frank gave honest feedback on how and what I could purchase and gave me options to make this affordable. It is a sum of money but in the long run this turned out to save money. I chose the option of finding the properties and Sonia assisting in the purchase.

Sonia met us promptly on the Saturday and then drove me around for the day looking at properties.

Sonia has an eye for potential! She could see how a negative could be turned into a positive.

I found a property I liked, and Sonia went about working out a strategy for how I could purchase this within my budget. There was issues with the property but Sonia turned these issues into a bargaining chip. This enable me to purchase the property within my budget.

She gave me confidence to bid (she will do it for you) for a property that in theory should have sold for more than I could afford.

I successfully purchased the property at auction!

Sonia then assisted with helping me measure up for wardrobes and the like. Suggested a handyman to assist. She liaise with the agent re accessing the property for Valuers and the like.

It is a great service. It isn’t cheap but it is worth the money.

I didn’t believe I would get off the renting merry go round. I am very relieved and thankful”

Strephon Billinghurst
Home Buyer in Cammeray, Lower North Shore

 

“The process of searching for property is never a painless one. The unending weekends lost to house inspections on top of an already crowded and busy work week.

However upon finding Frank and securing his services the process became significantly easier. The search was curtailed into a short list of potential candidate properties that met our criteria.

Frank proved invaluable in his understanding of the process and leveraged his contacts in bringing about a mutually successful close prior to the auction date.
Frank is patient, trustworthy and extremely knowledgeable. We will be recommending Frank to our friends and colleagues and will certainly secure his services again as the opportunities arise”

Nicholas S
Property Investor in Beaconsfield, Inner West

 

“Thank you so much Frank for securing us our new home, we are thrilled with the property and the location is absolutely ideal for us. We really appreciate the way you dealt with everything, and showing us the many Off Market options that we wouldn’t have known about really gave us a broader array of properties to choose from.

The way you were able to negotiate with the agents and get us an even better outcome than we could have hoped for was nothing short of brilliant, especially in the competitive market we were buying in. I must admit I was a little nervous of using a Buyer’s Agent when we first started with you, but I am absolutely convinced that securing your services was the best property investment we ever made”

Michael E
Home Buyer in Double Bay , Eastern Suburbs 

 

Frank where to start? You have such a vast and vital knowledge of the property industry. In our short time together (this is how quickly Frank gets things done) Frank secured us our chosen property before it went to auction and we could not be happier!

At the first meeting, Frank took the time to understand our requirements/wish list and it all snowballed from there. Frank came to all the inspections with us and to be able to have firsthand his real-estate and building knowledge gave us a step above the rest. Frank is a highly skilled negotiator - actually scrap that… Frank is by far the best negotiator I have come across.

We chose to use Frank as our buyer’s agent as we understood that the market is infiltrated by people wishing to purchase for all different reasons and as we wanted to buy our place around the city fringes we were up against a lot of competition and we needed his expertise.

We wholeheartedly recommend Frank – his passion for this industry is evident in all that he does and he will do everything in his power to get the best results for you.

Wesley and Katie Von Grabbil
Home Buyers in Alexandria , Inner West

 

After two years of house hunting, we had become increasingly frustrated with feeling out of control in a housing market that seemed to keep overtaking us. We hated losing out at auction and eventually accepted that we might need some help.

Frank took time to understand our priorities - but also gently challenged our thinking. His in-depth knowledge of the Eastern Suburbs market was evident from the very first conversation. His building background helped us think laterally about improvements that could be made to properties we would otherwise have overlooked.

We built a trusting relationship with him in a short space of time. Frank opened our eyes to a property we ordinarily would have rejected, and then advised us on tactics which we would not have had the confidence to follow through on our own. His professional relationship with the seller's agents helped us to have real impact in a crowded market.

We are delighted with the house we have secured and are confident that it represents value. We feel certain we would still be hunting without Frank's help

Mark and Sheila Bayliss
Home Buyers in Randwick , Eastern Suburbs

 

After looking for a property for nearly a year, within four weeks of meeting Frank I had found one. His connections with real estate agents and his ability to negotiate were a powerful combination that allowed me to secure an investment property at below market

Jianni Bercich
Property Investor in Waterloo, Inner West

 

Engaging Frank was hands down the best decision we could have made when it came to securing our new home.

Before we engaged the services of Frank, we found Real Estate Agents to be flippant, they didn’t take us seriously, and we found them very difficult to deal with.

Things changed once we got Frank on board.

Having spent many Saturdays looking at properties with Frank, we came to realise a few things…

He has a great working relationship with many agents around Sydney, and knows how to use this to his (your) advantage.

While remaining calm and collected at all times, he can see a great opportunity from a mile away, and knows exactly when and how to strike.

His finger is always on the pulse, and he also provided us with opportunities that we may never had known existed otherwise.

Combining all this, Frank managed to find us the perfect home. We couldn’t have secured such a fantastic opportunity within our budget without him, we are sure of it!

Sasha and Iva Madderom
Home Buyers in Bondi Junction, Eastern Suburbs

 

Frank conducted a thorough search of various property markets, in search of the most suitable investment for my requirements.

He presented to me 7 different viable options, and was very thorough in going through each option and help me decide which one was the best choice.

I would never have been able to find all of those options in my limited free time, let alone conduct such thorough due diligence.

Very satisfied and very impressed !

Dr. Stevenson
Property Investor in Kangaroo Point, Brisbane

 

"I would like to express my deepest gratitude and satisfaction with the way you helped me during my property search. You have successfully achieved the result I could not achieve in 2.5 years of the market search, and you did it in just 2.5 months!!!

Your calm confident manner, keen desire to understand your client's needs, honesty and patience are few of the great qualities I appreciated in dealing with you.

You never put any pressure on me and always made it clear that you will spend as much time as needed to get the best result possible.

Being a single mother and a busy professional I found your service invaluable to me.

I can strongly recommend anyone who struggles on the property market and time poor like myself to use your help.

Thank you so much Frank for finding us our new home.

Dr. Alla Waldman
Property Investor in Bellevue Hill, Eastern Suburbs

 

 “Purchasing a home on my own was a daunting process. Frank was informative and honest. Frank always made himself available to view properties, answer any queries promptly, and helped me to make a wise purchase. I am so happy with our new home and know that without Frank I would have paid more than the final negotiated price”

Alex
Home Buyer in Bellevue Hill , Eastern Suburbs

 

 It’s been a great pleasure to work with Frank. Within a short time he built a great connection with us and understood what we were after. He provided us valuable advice and appraisals for the many properties we looked at during the month.  He was there with us inspecting the properties, bidding at auctions and pursued what we were interested to buy, leading to the successful result. A big thank you to Frank for negotiating and getting us the Aussie dream home.

Ana and Arif
Home Buyers in Botany, Eastern Suburbs

 

 “After a recent separation from my wife, I decided to look for a place to buy in Bondi. Whilst still running a business & finalising details with my wife, life was pretty hectic! I noticed many of the properties I liked were selling before Auction & I simply wasn't able to keep up! On one day I attended over 15 inspections! I spoke to numerous agents who often left messages as I was so busy, often they would send me info on properties well outside of my search criteria, often they wouldn't even take me seriously enough to return emails, sms’s, phone calls etc. Then there's reading contracts, organising building inspections, strata reports etc. I didn't even get to these.

Then one day I got a message from Frank. Naturally I was sceptical at first, how can he save me money? What's his incentive to do this? How can he find the right property better than I could do myself? I recall we exchanged several emails & I had many more questions than above, Frank answered every one of them and I found myself beginning to nod my head, 'maybe he could help me', I thought. Then we decided to arrange a meeting where I again peppered him with many questions, and all his answers just made sense! More exposure to off market properties, being taken seriously by agents, his building background, (absolutely invaluable so I could factor in costs of repairs, reno's etc.), negotiating techniques, his knowledge of the market trends, availability to attend any inspections, understanding of the whole buying process, his contacts with agents, solicitors, financiers etc., assistance with directing my focus on the ideal property, & more.................

So Frank got the business and from day 1, Frank got on with the job, contacted 15 principal agents promptly so the effect was multiplied! I consistently received updates & every time we spoke, I found him to be very pleasant & continued to be impressed by his knowledge & approach. At this point there was very little for me to do except focus on the many other important things in my life, it sure gave me piece of mind having Frank in my corner & reduced the stress substantially! Frank managed to secure me a property that I'm really happy with, (showing it to me over a month before it was to hit the market) at a price much less than I expected! I looking forward to moving in next week.

Frank, I couldn't have done it without you mate & I'm very grateful to have had you on my side, call it fate? In any case, you have my phone number & I'm more than happy for you to pass it on to any prospective clients if they want to speak to a very happy client.”

“Search Find Invest secured a fantastic home for me. Their expert research and honest advice was invaluable. Frank negotiated a saving of $60k on what we researched it was worth, and what I was prepared to pay! Everything was handled smoothly and professionally. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking to buy a home. It was a wonderful experience working with Frank, he is very honest and gives sound advice when asked, very professional in a very well rounded approach and really takes the stress out of buying a home, particularly in the current strong market conditions. Thank you "Search Find Invest" for making me a happy home buyer.”

Emma Fraser
Home Buyer in Paddington, Eastern Suburbs

 

 We were sceptical about appointing a Buyer's Agent to help us secure our family home, it seemed like a lot of money to spend. The scepticism was misplaced and the investment in fees was more than covered by savings on the purchase price and our time. Frank showed us many properties that were off market and when we finally found the one we loved, he secured it for us very quickly, without it going to auction and significantly cheaper than what we would have paid without him handling the negotiation.

Dr. Anna Freney and George Freney
Home Buyers in, Eastern Suburbs

 

“Working as a Professional Financial Advisor, I found Frank’s property advice of a very high standard. When it came time to buying our own home, Franks ability to understand which properties will suit our lifestyle, while also being a sound investment, were a great re-assurance during the purchasing ordeal. His local property knowledge, combined with his building and renovating advice were a great benefit to us, when searching and shortlisting properties. I would never consider purchasing a property without consulting Frank first.

“We wanted to use our Super to invest safely in property, but we didn’t know where to start. We now have our own Self Managed Super Fund and have a new property, and between our rent and employers contributions, it doesn’t cost us anything from our own pocket.

“Living in NYC made it near impossible to co-ordinate a purchase in Sydney, until I got Frank on board. He was thorough when it came to answering my questions, jumped straight onto my job as soon as I signed the contract, gave me some viable options and found a diamond of a property within a week. His effort with working with the real estate agent in a timely manner, and getting the right solicitor on board, enabled me to secure my new purchase with zero stress. If you are looking for someone with an incredible knowledge base in construction and financial matters of property, go to Frank. He knows property investing from the inside out.”

From initial consult to now, we couldn't have askedfor more from Frank. He was able to secure us the ideal property, the whole renovation was project managed in a very professional manner also. The project came in sooner than we anticipated, and right on budget. The advice on adding value was just what we needed. The property able to be rented immediately and now pays for itself. We have now created enough equity to invest again. Frank followed through with everything he said he would. We are very satisfied with the whole experience."

“We really need to thank you for introducing/recommending Sonia to us.

We had an absolutely fantastic journey with her.

She took everything under her wings and guided us with her expertise and attention to detail.

The whole buying process ended up becoming a fun & interesting exercise.

We look forward to continue our family friendly association with her.”

As builders with over 35 years’ experience worldwide, the last 6 years has seen us focus our energies towards sourcing excellent, high quality construction projects in the Sydney inner city and eastern suburbs. The results of these projects have constantly exceeded our expectations at sale, and have resulted in defining our brand.

During this time we began our work with Sonia Jacob-Farr. She has assisted us in sourcing potential properties, purchasing, and then as a buyer’s agent after renovation works were completed. Her impeccable sense of the property market coupled with her professionalism, strong work ethic, and boundless energy has given us total trust in Sonia’s judgement, and has consistently resulted in excellent outcomes. To Sonia’s credit, we have developed a working relationship that is an absolute asset to our company

For context, prior to meeting Frank we'd bought multiple properties without the help of a Buyers Agent, were generally untrusting of most people in the buying / selling process, and never thought we'd see the value in working with a Buyers Agent.

This 5 star review is simple - I will never buy another property without Frank on our team.”

Frank was recommended to us by contacts in the Finance Industry.

We couldn't be happier with the process, pace or outcome.

Already looking to engage his services again in 2017”

Frank is always available to be contacted, he'll find you the best property for the best price, he is very fast to seal a deal, if you decide to buy before auction.

I have no hesitation in recommending Frank to anyone who wants to buy a property without any hassle”

Mr. and Mrs. B.
Investor in Matraville, Eastern Suburbs

 

I cannot recommend Frank highly enough.

He understood very quickly exactly what kind of property we were looking for and within hours had already called me about an off market house that matched just what we wanted.

He has access to properties that the public does not know about from newspapers or internet.

He was very reassuring and patient. All his sensible advice was of great help. He had a good strategy in mind for us. I am a bit anxious and he was very calming. He is always pleasant and smiling.

In the end we got our property of first choice that we never could have bought without Frank's fantastic negotiating tactics and skills. We bought before auction.

He really knows the market and what houses are worth. We also had a second backup property that he found us in case the first one fell through.

Thank you Frank. I would not hesitate in recommending you to anyone I know.

You promised to save us more than your fee and you well and truly did this”

Frank was a wonderful support and help through my very unexpectedly short search.

His knowledge, expertise and calmness was all that I needed to secure the perfect property for me.

Go with a Buyers Agent, but even better go with Frank”

Debbie Whitney
Investor in Kensington, Eastern Suburbs

 

We had a very challenging opportunity to secure a property against another bid that appeared to have been accepted.

Frank worked tirelessly like a dog with a bone over 2 days and secured it at a price I was very happy with.

I could never have done what he did. I am very glad I engaged him.

Sometimes it was hard to know who to trust, Frank came through in the end.

He was also good company”

Frank Russo came highly recommended as someone who could assist us in buying our first home in Sydney.

We had been looking to invest in the property market for a few months without success and upon calling on Frank’s services we knew we had made the right decision.

Frank's experience and knowledge allowed the buying process to be a straightforward and exciting venture. He listened to exactly what we were looking for and was always polite, supportive and genuine. We believe he gave us that edge when negotiating and making offers.

We could not have got into the market so quickly and with such confidence without Frank’s services. Thank you so much!”

“Professional, responsive, accurate, well connected - he's fantastic to work with and has a deep knowledge of the locality.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Frank, he got me a great result in a very short time frame”

Paula Bayliss
Home Buyer in Bondi Junction, Eastern Suburbs

 

Brilliant! Frank was exceptional in hunting down the right property for me and getting a great price, and hassle free when making an offer.

I highly recommend his services to anyone looking to buy a property”

Shaun Percy
Home Buyer in Bondi Beach, Eastern Suburbs

 

I didn't at first want to use a buyer's agent but my wife Viv convinced me to at least meet Frank and listen to what he said.

I was very impressed with Frank's knowledge of the market and his positive and reassuring approach to us.

I quickly developed a sense of confidence in Frank's skills and was absolutely amazed when he so quickly was able to secure for us what was by far our preferred property and at an excellent price.

Even on the day that we made the offer and he took the vendor the contract I didn't believe that he would be able to get us the property because it was so sought after but he did.

I would recommend Frank's services to any of my friends because he does a truly fantastic job without any fuss.
