To whom it may concern

It is with great pleasure that we are able to give testimony to the work of Ian Begaud of Realistic Property.

Buying an investment property is a task not to be taken lightly. It is  possibly one of the most important decision you will ever need to make and as such can be quite daunting.

Finding an agent that firstly listens to and understands your individual position and, at the same time one that you can trust is always a concern.

Ian has shown to us that he ‘fits the bill' perfectly guiding us all the way and indeed over delivering on services.

Ian's professionalism and knowledge made the tas so much easier and nothing was a problem.

So if you are in the market for an investment propertywe certainly have no hesitation in recommending the sevices of Ian Begaud and encourage everyone to "Go Ballisitc - Go Realistic!"

We had little time available to search for an investment property. Attempts to engage real estate companies to do some leg work for us resulted in little action and were a total waste of time. The experience we had with Ian was in total contrast. Ian was responsive to our phone calls and emails, he was flexible around our schedule, he personally showed us a selection of properties which met the purchasing criteria we had discussed and he acted with integrity when were negotiating contracts and at settlement. The benefit for us was that within one month of contacting Ian we had a contract on a property and within three months we had settled the deal. We have no hesitation recommending Ian to our colleagues and friends wishing to purchase an investment property.

Dear Ian

We were recommended to Realistic Property and wanted a house and land in a good area with various criteria. That was sourced by you, a builder was suggested with suitable plans etc All nice and easy.

A month or so later we decided to do the same thing and another block was sourced and we decided to use the same builder. 

Since then both houses have been completed, and rented out to good tenants. During construction we were kept advised of progress of both the houses and the growth of the area on the Gold Coast. Progress photos were also sent regularly.

Because of our position as both Captain and Personal Chef of a large, private yacht which travels constantly around the World we must rely on others to look after our various interests.

I have been extremely pleased with your service and the properties on the Gold Coast, they have been the least amount of hassle in my Portfolio that’s for sure……

Hopefully, we can repeat the process in the near future, dependent on the global financial position

Hi Ian,

Just wanted to say a big thank you again for all your help in finding our first investment property.

We had a tenant move in soon after the keys were handed over, so now we can sit back and stress less, and hope that the value increases soon so that we can start again
