They sold you
The property.
Then they vanished.
If the company that helped you buy your investment property has gone quiet – or gone under – you’re not the only one. This is for you!
This article is general information about working with property investment specialists in Australia. It doesn’t take your personal situation into account. If you’d like to talk specifically about yours, the booking link is at the bottom of the page.
You’re not the only one this happened to
If you’re reading this, there’s a fair chance something hasn’t gone the way you were promised.
Maybe you put your trust in a property investment company that talked a big game, told you they had the right people, sold you on a property they said would set you up – and then went quiet. Or worse, went under. The settlement happened, the commission was paid, and the support you were promised never quite turned up.
Here’s what we want you to hear first: this is not a you problem. You weren’t greedy. You weren’t naive. You did what most working Australians do – you backed yourself, you trusted the people who were supposed to know what they were doing, and you got let down. It happens more often than you’d think. We see it almost every week.
The right people make the whole difference
Property investing isn’t broken. The strategy is sound. Plenty of working Australians are building real wealth through property right now and doing it well.
What goes wrong isn’t usually the strategy. It’s the people running it.
The companies that disappear after settlement tend to have things in common. They’re built around getting the deal done, not getting it right. They’re paid in ways that don’t line up with what’s good for you. They pass you between people. They go quiet when things get hard. By the time the cracks show, you’re already in.
The right people are different. They’re still around after settlement. They tell you what they can’t do as well as what they can. They give you one person to talk to, not a queue. They show you exactly how they get paid. And they’re still picking up the phone two years later – because that’s where the real work is.
Who we are
Corbwood & Associates was started in 2017 by Jack Corbett. Jack grew up in housing commission – working-class, no shortcuts, no one handing him anything. When he set Corbwood up he made one rule that’s still the rule today: the service stays free to clients, and we’re not in the business of helping rich people get richer. We’re here for everyday Australians.
That hasn’t changed. We’ve helped several thousand Australian families since.
We’re based on the Gold Coast at Helensvale, but we work with families right across the country.
How we’re built differently
You don’t pay us a cent.
The whole service is complimentary. Always has been. We’re paid by the partner network we bring around you – the lenders, the planners, the accountants – not by you. There’s no fee, no clip on the way through, no surprise invoice. If a company you worked with before couldn’t say that, that’s worth thinking about.
One person.
One relatioinship.
The whole way.
From the moment you come on board you’re assigned a Client Liaison Officer. One name, one phone number, one person who knows your situation. You’re not getting passed around. You’re not chasing anyone for a callback. You’ll know who to call, and they’ll know who you are.
A team of specialistes, not a team of generalists.
The mortgage, the planning, the accounting, the legal, the property management – each piece is handled by a specialist firm we’ve worked alongside for years. We don’t pretend to do everything in-house. We bring the right people around you and we hold it all together so you don’t have to.
Honest from the start. Even when it’s the harder conversation.
If buying again right now isn’t the right call for your situation, we’ll tell you that on the first call. We’d rather lose the lead than push someone into something that doesn’t fit. That’s not a marketing line. It’s the rule Jack built the firm on.
Reviews
If a conversation would help.
If anything in this piece sounded like your situation, we’d be glad to talk. Not a sales call – a conversation about where you’re at, what your existing investment looks like from here, and whether we’re the right people to help with whatever comes next. We’ll tell you honestly either way.
There’s no fee for the chat. There’s no fee if you come on board with us either. That’s how we’ve always worked.
