About us

Our Story

In 2021, a friend in finance approached me interested in private real estate investments, aiming to diversify from the volatile stock market. I was surprised by his lack of knowledge about private real estate and the difficulties he faced finding opportunities as an individual investor in Australia. Historically, accessing private real estate deals has been tough due to high entry barriers and limited deal visibility. Unfortunately, platforms offering access, investment tools, and education for this asset class were notably absent.
