The short version

Who you'd be dealing with.

I spent most of my career on the selling side. That's where you learn how a buyer gets moved: what gets left out, when the pressure arrives, and which pricing signals actually mean something. I use the same knowledge now, pointed the other way.

The person you talk to is the person who inspects the property, triages the section 32 before you pay a conveyancer to go through it properly, calls the agent and stands there on the day.

I'm a licensed estate agent with an economics degree from the Berlin School of Economics and fifteen years in the industry behind me. Most of my work arrives through someone the buyer already trusted, which is roughly how this reached you.

I'm easy to deal with. Selling agents would put it differently, and that's the point.

He was incredibly generous with his time. We never once felt rushed. He was always on the ground inspecting properties, keeping us informed.

Who it is for

You fly it. I am right beside you.

You are a first home buyer and you want to be hands on.

You know the suburbs and you want to be part of the search. What you want next to you is someone who has spent years on the other side of the table: someone who tells you whether a property holds up, what it is worth, and who does the negotiating when it counts.

Copilot is buyer advocacy built and priced for first home buyers. It gets you off on the right foot, with professional guidance and a clear strategy from your first inspection.

Every decision is yours. My job is to make sure you know what you are doing when you make it.

I make sure you will not pay too much, you will not buy a bad property, and you will not miss out.

He saved me time, got me to consider a broader range of properties than I was initially looking at, and helped me buy a house that was both good value and a great place to live.

The process

How it runs.

90 days. Six steps.

01

Onboarding

Two one-hour sessions, in person or online, where I show you how I assess a property. Your first two weekends of open homes put it into practice, with a review after each.

02

Weekly review

After every weekend of open homes, we review it together online. It is an open conversation: what caught your eye, what did not, and every question in between. You get honest feedback, and week by week you see what I look for in a property, and why.

03

Full analysis

When a property is worth a serious look, I inspect it and give you a full analysis, up to six times. You get my read on what it is worth, how it compares with the alternatives on the market, and the strategy to buy it. Where there is an owners corporation, I go through its issues and its financials, and before you commit, we stress test the decision against your brief.

04

Before you commit

Building and pest inspection and a legal review of the contract, organised before you sign anything.

05

Negotiation or auction

I negotiate and bid for you, up to three times. Most of my 15 years were spent on the selling side, so I know how agents run a sale and what they are listening for. Private sale or auction, you go in with a strategy, and the agent is dealing with someone who has sat in their chair.

06

Through to settlement

The pre-settlement inspection, and my professional network whenever you need it.

As I am a first home buyer and very new to the entire world of property, Sven was always extremely helpful and attentive, using every day language and was always willing to answer any questions, big or small.

Onboard before 20 December and your 90 days become 120, so the holidays do not eat into your time.
His knowledge and insights truly helped me understand the real value of different properties. Without his calm guidance at that critical point, I may have overpaid or lost the deal.

A recent purchase

How one search ran.

J. engaged me to find her a home in Elwood. She was buying on her own.

Over about two months we discussed 29 properties. Fourteen of them were off-market or pre-market.

She settled on an apartment in a low-density, tree-lined side street right next to a small park. The owners had paid $761,000 for it in 2021. They listed it at $745,000, which was still more than it was worth.

Before she made a move, I told her what I thought it should sell for. She loved the place, so we went ahead.

We turned the due diligence around quickly, and I researched the other owners in the block. There are only four.

She bought it for $695,000, on her preferred settlement terms. That's $50,000 under the asking price, and I managed the whole process.

Engaging Sven was the best decision I have made, especially for the incredible amount of time I've saved and the support I received along the way, from online property analysis, organising inspections, structuring properties that align with my personal needs, and negotiating with the agent. The insights around market value and local knowledge were invaluable. The entire process felt incredibly simple and well managed. Communication was also prompt and clear at every stage. Highly recommend his services to anyone looking to purchase a property!
