The Standout Performer in My Portfolio


"As an investor from Singapore, I've acquired multiple properties across Australia over the past 15 years, including in Surfers Paradise, Melbourne, and Sydney.


Without a doubt, the standout performer in my portfolio has been the Sydney property I purchased with Michael Bentley's expert guidance.


Michael's insights and support have been invaluable throughout my investment journey. His keen eye for properties with strong rental yields and excellent capital growth potential has proven to be spot-on. The Sydney property he recommended has exceeded my expectations in both aspects."

No hesitation in recommending Mike Bentley


"I have purchased in the cities of Perth, Melbourne & Brisbane from house to apartments, based on the recommendations of Michael. I have found the properties to be well researched and in fact have always asked Michael that I be first on developments that pass his due diligence in my price range, to obtain best price. All my properties have been hassle free"

Investors Happy

 
"Thank you Mike for your assistance and support in setting up these purchases. It seems that there are a growing number of people looking to invest in but very few reputable agencies that they can work through. Thanks again for your advice and if ever you are in KL please do feel free to call on us. We would love to buy you a beer."

All my properties are profitable


"I have known Michael Bentley for over 20 years, from the time he was running the Ben Boyd office in Hong Kong - that is when I first met him as I wished to invest into the Australian property market. I can attest to his extensive real estate knowledge and personal integrity having purchased a number of properties with him over the years in both Sydney and Melbourne - all of which were successful, profitable investments. I have also known other Asian based friends who have purchased property in Australia sight unseen with Michael - all without any problems"

Alex Suvoltos, Melbourne - (ex-Hong Kong)


"What sets Michael apart is his commitment to ongoing service. Even years after the initial purchase, he continues to provide regular market updates, keeping me well-informed about the Australian property landscape. This level of dedication gives me confidence in my investments and helps me make informed decisions.


I wholeheartedly recommend Michael Bentley and his agency.


For any foreigner looking to navigate the Australian property market, whether buying or selling, I wholeheartedly recommend Michael Bentley and his agency. His expertise, particularly in identifying properties with great investment potential, has been crucial to my success in the Australian real estate market."

Investments Exceeded Expectations


"I have Known Michael Bentley for over twenty five during my career as a corporate banker in Asia and have always held him in high regard for his personal integrity and knowledge of the property market in which he operates. When he established his own company I felt very comfortable in purchasing two Australian investment properties according to his advice. Since I made those investments  I have been pleased with their performance both in terms of cash flow and asset value which have satisfied and exceeded initial expectations."

Graham Grover,  Tokyo, ex Hong Kong



 Highly recommend Michael Bentley!


I would highly recommend Michael Bentley if you intend to purchase real estate in Australia! 


As a foreigner it was extremely helpful to have Michael guide us through the process.  We began discussing with Michael six months prior to signing the engagement.  Even without an official engagement letter, Michael gave us sound advice and provided contacts for potential financing arrangements.


We met Michael for coffee, and he again gave us even more advice. Taking Michael’s advice, we had obtained the FIRB letter and arranged financing prior to beginning the search. 


We officially began working together with Michael on February 15th,  2023. Having done research on the location in Sydney, we visited 3-4 units daily until we closed on an apartment on February 19th.  Michael acted as our buying agent to negotiate with the sellers agent and guide us through the buying process until the keys were handed over on March 24th. 


 We are quite happy with the purchase and very pleased with the smooth process and advice we obtained from Michael!
