💡 What do real estate agents buy — with their own money?

We asked Mark Novak (30+ years in the game) what he looks for when investing himself. His answers might surprise you 👇

🏢 Pattern #1 – Small but steady:
“Easy to finance, easy to rent, easy to keep. Small bites, regular bites.”

💰 Pattern #2 – When they zig, we zag:
Agents often go for the unloved ones — high-strata, off-the-plan, or overlooked stock — because that’s where the opportunity lies.

🏗️ Pattern #3 – Off-the-plan isn’t dead:
With new protections, bonds & tighter legislation, agents are quietly buying off-the-plan again — especially in low-supply areas like the Northern Beaches, Eastern Suburbs & North Shore.

⏱️ Floppy response times — the silent deal killer in real estate.

40% of buyers never hear back from an agent after enquiring.
Let that sink in. 😬

In 2025, no one’s waiting 72 hours for a callback. You can order an Uber in 3 minutes — why should your property enquiry take 3 days?

Here’s what should be standard 👇
⚡ Email response: within 10 mins
📞 Missed calls: returned within 1 hour
📷 Photography turnaround: 24–48 hrs
📑 Contract of sale: 2 working days

🚫 Radio silence = lost deals.
✅ Speed builds trust.

Would you work with an agent who takes 3 days to reply?
