We are proud to have helped many clients achieve their goal of property ownership.
Here is some of their feedback about our services ...
I recently engaged Miriam Sandkuhler from Property Mavens to act for me as a Buyer Advocate and was provided with un-paralleled service. Acting with integrity and professionalism throughout the entire investment process I was truly impressed with the service provided. As a single working mother, I struggled with the time and knowledge to explore investment options.
Miriam worked with diligence and competency to make this happen and I am in awe of what she did and how she may be investment come about. Every step in the many stages of research, negotiate and buying process was carried out with efficiency and clarity so at no time did I feel I was on my own, instead I felt grateful and relieved that all was done for me at the same time being fully informed and a part of every process. The negotiation on price, due diligence and final result more than covered my outlay for engaging Miriam as a buyer advocate. In addition the introduction to and hence engagement of a property manager, mortgage broker, solicitor, building inspector, insurance broker and depreciation specialist has been effortless and invaluable.
At all times Miriam focused on the best outcome for me personally. I would never have taken this step and achieved the outcome without their services and I can highly recommend to anyone exploring investments to engage Miriam and Property Mavens as a sure way to bring about the desired outcome.

Miriam was very professional and thorough throughout the process from the pre purchase inspection to the final settlement of our property.
Miriam was always prompt in replying to any queries we had and has a good knowledge of both the market and values in the area we were looking. Miriam highlighted clauses that we needed to take note of in the contract and ensured that our best interests were being met.
We felt confident that on the day of the Auction we were being given the best chance to make a successful purchase.
After the Auction Miriam continued to be just as involved. As we are overseas clients it was important to us that we worked with someone who was professional, client focused and attentive to our concerns. All these qualities were met by Miriam.

Prior to purchasing an investment property with Miriam, my knowledge was quite limited. I was also quite intimidated by the whole process.
Miriam was incredibly supportive, making sure I was educated and kept informed along the way. During negotiations, Miriam's knowledge and professionalism shone through making me feel very supported. She is helping me realize my dream of home ownership and also financial security!
Thanks so much Miriam for all your help!
Miriam at Property Mavens has been professional, tenacious and hard-nosed in performing a buyer’s advocate role for my partner and I in the purchase of our family home. I would highly recommend her as a skilled and experienced professional in her field. I negotiated to a point; then upon reaching a brick wall I engaged Miriam of Property Mavens to get the deal done! We first spoke to Miriam around 11 am and by 7.15 pm the Vendor had agreed to terms. Upon receiving this news I responded with
"Awesome news. Thank you for entering the trenches with us and landing this property!! We are very happy with the result you managed under difficult circumstances. We appreciate it and know it was a great move to hire you. Well done!"

The thought of breaking into the property market had always been daunting, until I met Miriam.
With her vast experience and knowledge I felt comfortable putting my trust in Property Mavens and was never disappointed, as we approached every step strategically & professionally. The idea there was a skilled team on my side with my best interests in mind was very reassuring. Not only has this experience greatly reduced the stress of buying my first property it has allowed me to gain an invaluable understanding of the fundamentals of investing and the confidence to grow my portfolio.
-Connor McCormick, South Melbourne, June 2014
Although I had already determined the location in which I wished to invest, and had previously invested successfully in property, I sought out Miriam's services in order to take advantage of her inside knowledge of this particular market and its players.
While I am busy and work full time, Miriam was able to keep abreast of what was available in my price range and even managed to get me a property before it hit the market. This, and the subsequent negotiated price, more than made up for the cost of her services. Not only was the price fair, but I would probably not have had a chance to buy this property working on my own.
She is passionate, was committed to getting a fair price and matching the purchase to my particular strategy and limited budget. I recommend her.

All we knew was "We need an investment property". How to go about was a BIG question mark.
Working with Miriam was like a cake walk. We never thought we could finalize a property within such a short period of time. Her knowledge in the property market is immense.
She picked the properties that suited our needs. The suggestions she gave, her service, everything was EXCELLENT! We are positive that in future we would approach her every time we think of buying a property. We highly recommend Miriam to all our friends.

My husband and I have been looking into the property market on and off for about 3 years. About 6 months ago we decided to buy our first property. Our knowledge about property was limited, we visited different properties and read articles but the amount of information you can find out there is diverse. Also we found that one seize does not fit all and the information we found was quite general.
The first time we met Miriam Sandkuhler she not only presented to us options that we were looking for, she also provided other alternatives that we were not even considering which open a different and appealing perspective.
Once we selected the properties we wanted, Miriam sent us market comparison information; this document is so helpful when making such an important decision. Her negotiation skills are outstanding and she was able to secure a great property at an incredible price.
At the end we received a Property Report which is an invaluable tool to track your asset and in the future if you want to sell it has important information.
From the beginning Miriam was approachable and she constantly kept us informed about the process. Her customer service, professionalism and property knowledge are outstanding.
After officially finishing her services, Miriam was still in contact with us and offered to look at our property while she was around the area.
It’s been two months since we engaged Property Mavens and now looking back, the process for us felt smooth and we felt supported all the way through.
Regardless of you having limited knowledge about the property market or you having experience if you want to increase your portfolio, Miriam has something valuable to offer. Her services are excellent and we highly recommend Property Mavens!

My wife and I had bought and sold a number of properties in the past and currently hold a small property portfolio. Recently we decided that we would buy a number of properties within our SMSF however we were time poor and an upcoming overseas month long vacation was fast approaching so we needed someone that would assist us to develop a brief and then execute quickly.
On a recommendation, we engaged the services of Miriam from Property Mavens to help us achieve our objective. Miriam's eagerness, professionalism and attention to detail was exactly what we needed.
Within two weeks of meeting Miriam, we not only developed a brief, short listed possible properties and then inspected the better prospects, but she brilliantly negotiated a great outcome for us on the perfect property!
Miriam also took care of all the finer details, assisting with finance approval, pest and building inspections and the like, all while we were overseas.
Miriam made this one of the most pleasurable business deals we have ever done.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Miriam in assisting anybody whether it is their first or fiftieth property purchase.
