Buying your own home or an investment property in Sydney takes grit, determination and creating an unfair advantage. Not everyone can afford to engage a Buyers Agent, so we’ve asked Ramon Cura to share his secrets. 

The Sydney property market is competitive and agents may be underquoting a property or simply tell you to “make an offer”. This is not only frustrating when the property sells for well over the price guide or the first bid at auction exceeds your whole budget. So how do you stack the odds in your favour? 

We ask Ramon this exact question and you want to hear his answers. 

Bidding and buying at auction can be a nerve-wracking experience; when do you raise your paddle, by how much do you increase your bids and how do you bid successfully? With decades of experience under his belt and buying thousands of properties, Ramon shares the insiders tips on how to negotiate and bid with confidence.

About Aaron:
Aaron-Christie David founded Atelier Wealth, a Mortgage & Finance Association of Australia (MFAA) approved Mortgage Broker. Aaron’s focus is clear – supporting property investors to make confident decisions to build their property portfolio. He has been recognised in the MPA Top 100 Broker rankings for the last three years.

With over 10 years of financial services experience, with a career spanning Wizard Home Loans and Commonwealth Bank, Aaron’s decision to become a broker was to help more Australians fearlessly buy investment properties to achieve intergenerational wealth.

About Ramon:
Beginning as a mortgage broker, Ramon not only gained invaluable experience helping his clients obtain loan approval to purchase a property, but he also noticed a gap in the real estate market. His clients then would constantly ask him for advice surrounding buying investment property and negotiating.

Recognizing an opportunity to better serve his clients, Ramon transitioned to representing buyers as a Buyer’s Agent, founding Cura Property in October 2010. Leveraging his extensive background in mortgage brokering, banking, and human resources, he’s become known as the “go-to guy” for property advice. Authenticity, transparency, and negotiation skills, from finding investment properties to sealing deals of all kinds, Ramon’s got it covered.
