I had an excellent experience working with Katherine and recommend her highly. From the beginning, she took the time to understand what I was looking for and found me a property that exceeded my expectations. Her knowledge of the market and approach to negotiation made a huge difference—she was able to secure the property at a great price, which I could not have achieved on my own. Throughout the process, she was professional, responsive, and supportive, guiding me step by step and making what can often be a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. What stood out was her genuine commitment to acting in my best interests. I always felt confident that I had someone in my corner advocating for me. If you’re looking for a buyer’s agent who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and results-driven, I would absolutely recommend working with Katherine.

Thank you for the kind words and for placing your trust in our buyers agent Katherine.

Taking the time to properly understand what you are looking to achieve is where the process starts for us, so it is great to hear that this translated into securing a property that exceeded your expectations. Katherine’s market knowledge and negotiation approach are a big part of how we help clients gain an advantage they would not typically have on their own.

Knowing you felt supported, informed, and well represented throughout the process is exactly what we aim for.

We really appreciate the recommendation and are glad Katherine was in your corner to deliver the outcome.
Thank you.

We contacted Kian directly based on personal recommendation from a family member who had worked with him a few years ago. We found ourselves in a situation where we were purchasing and selling right at Christmas time and with simultaneous settlement in early February. Throughout the entire process Kian was one or two steps ahead on everything that needed to be done, prompting us about things that we needed to action or be prepared for. He provided us with a range of mortgage options which clearly considered the things that we were looking for in a lender/mortgage. His communication with us was exemplary, and he made sure to let us know how/when he would be contactable across the Christmas/New Years period. We were grateful to have had Kian work with us through the entire process and would not hesitate to recommend him to family and friends.

Thank you Peter for providing us this outstanding feedback.
Purchasing a property is hard enough but adding a simultaneous settlement into the mix certainly does take it up a notch.

Congratulations on their purchase of your new home, wishing you many years of happiness there.

Thank you also for giving us a 5 STAR rating.

Entering the Sydney property market as first-home buyers felt pretty daunting, but we feel incredibly lucky to have had Katherine Lefevre and Deborah Cooke from Strategic Finance Team guiding us through the process. From our very first conversation, the 'information overload' vanished because they both have such a gift for explaining the complexities of the first home buyers scheme in a way that actually made sense. We were specifically looking in the inner west, which we knew would be competitive. Katherine’s local network proved to be our greatest asset; she managed to source a fantastic property for us off-market, sparing us from the stress and uncertainty of the usual public auction cycle. Having her expertise on our side meant we could move with confidence rather than second-guessing every decision. The level of personal commitment we received was truly above and beyond. A perfect example of this was when we reached the contract signing stage at Christmas—Deborah was actually on the other side of the world on holiday at the time. Despite the massive time difference, she was up in the middle of the night to ensure our documents were signed and everything remained on track. It felt like we had a dedicated team in our corner who were genuinely invested in getting us into our first home. We can’t thank Katherine and Deborah enough for their professionalism, their warmth, and for making what could have been a stressful ordeal into such a positive experience.

Thank you Callum for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review.

Entering the Sydney property market for the first time can feel overwhelming, so it is great to hear that Katherine and Deborah were able to bring clarity and confidence to the process.

Our aim is always to combine experienced buyers agent support with clear property financial advice so first home buyers understand both the opportunity and the structure behind the decision. The Inner West is a competitive market, and Katherine’s ability to leverage her local network to secure off market opportunities is exactly the type of advantage we want our clients to have.

Deborah will also appreciate the recognition. She is incredibly committed to making sure the lending and documentation side runs smoothly, even when it means working across time zones to keep everything on track.

We are grateful you trusted the Strategic team to guide you into your first home and we wish you many happy years there.

We highly recommend Ash and the team at Stratgroup, their service and support truly exceeded our expectations. Five stars simply aren’t enough to reflect their exceptional service they provide. From the very beginning, Ash was incredibly supportive, professional, and genuinely invested in helping us secure our home. Our circumstances kept changing throughout the process, which could have easily made things stressful and complicated. However, Ash remained patient, proactive, and solution-focused every step of the way. He continuously worked behind the scenes to improve our position and present the strongest possible case for our loan approval. What truly stood out was his dedication and persistence. No matter how many questions we had or how situations evolved, he was always available, transparent, and reassuring. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel manageable and structured. We always felt that Ash genuinely cared about achieving the best outcome for us, not just closing a deal. His professionalism, communication, and commitment to excellence were exceptional.

Thank you Anik for such generous feedback. It means a great deal to hear that the support you received felt consistent and genuine throughout what can often be a very complex process.

Ash takes a lot of pride in helping clients navigate changing circumstances, and your words perfectly reflect the level of care and persistence he brings to every situation.

We will make sure Ash and the wider Strategic Group team see this. We truly appreciate the trust you placed in us and are grateful to have been part of your journey toward securing your home.

The team at Strategic Investor Group are nothing short of amazing. They made the purchase of our first home so seamless that it was an absolute no‑brainer to engage them again for our next property. Beyond the buying process itself, what truly sets them apart is their focus on building real relationships, offering thoughtful advice, and supporting you through every step of the journey. They have an exceptional team, each person bringing their own strengths to make the entire experience as easy and stress‑free as possible: • Josh – Building & Pest Quite literally the most thorough inspector in the business. His packed schedule speaks for itself, but what makes him invaluable is the way he helps you understand exactly what you’re walking into. You can rely on him completely. • Georgia and the team at CLS No job is too big, and even the tightest turnarounds are handled with professionalism and calm efficiency. • Katherine – Buyer’s Agent (though “guardian angel” feels more accurate) She is there for every step. In a property market that can feel intimidating — and after too many inspections where the photos belonged on an episode of Catfish — she makes everything clearer and easier. She knows exactly which properties are worth your time, navigates pricing with ease, and leverages her incredible network to your advantage. She wears many hats, plays many roles, and somehow manages to make Saturdays spent trawling around the Shire genuinely enjoyable… even while dealing with my auction anxiety. • Arkadiusz – The steady hand everyone needs in their corner His guidance and advice are invaluable. He’s always there to help, to offer clarity, or simply to provide a calming influence with a reminder that “what will be will be.” I don’t think he realises the true value he brings to his clients, and we look forward to many more years of working with him. If you want a team who genuinely cares, who delivers a seamless process, and — most importantly — treats you as more than just a transaction, you need to reach out to Strategic Investor Group. They are exceptional.

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review Zoe.... It genuinely means a lot to the whole team to know that the experience felt seamless, especially across both purchases.

Our goal has always been to combine strong buyer’s agent support with clear property financial advice, so clients feel confident not only about the property they choose, but also the strategy behind it. Hearing that you felt supported at every step is exactly what we aim for.

We will make sure Josh, Georgia and the CLS team, Katherine, and Arkadiusz see your kind words. They each care deeply about the work they do, and feedback like this reminds us why relationships matter just as much as results.

We appreciate the trust you have placed in Strategic Investor Group and look forward to being part of the next chapter whenever you are ready.

I was hesitant at the start outsourcing a job that i always would prefer to do myself. Rkds, Kiril, Niki and Brian made the whole transaction very smooth. Each of them a specialist in their own field but collaborate like one team in your corner. I highly recommend them to anyone who is time poor but wants an intelligent team to make decisions and look after your interests as if it was yourself or better. I saved 3-6 months easily aswell as also having a team that i will continue to grow with and have an ongoing relationship. They were thorough and always flexible and the service level very high sometimes being on phone calls well after office hours to suit my availability. At no point did i feel sold to or another number to flog off a particular product. They understood exactly what i was after and never rushed anything. Thanks Team

Thank you Daniel....we genuinely appreciate you taking the time to share this.

It’s completely natural to feel hesitant about engaging a Buyers Agent, especially when you’re used to handling things yourself. We’re glad that once you experienced the process, you felt the value of having a dedicated team working purely in your corner.

As Buyers Agents, our role is to save you time, reduce risk, and make intelligent, data backed decisions...while protecting your interests as if they were our own. But most of all, to save you money.

Hearing that you saved 3–6 months and never felt pressured or “sold to” is exactly what we aim for. Independence and alignment with our clients is everything to us.

RKDS, Niki, Bryan and Kiril pride ourselves on collaborating closely behind the scenes so that from your perspective, it feels seamless and strategic. Property decisions are significant, and they shouldn’t be rushed....so we’re pleased you felt the patience and thoroughness throughout.

Daniel, you should really be proud of how far you have come. Setting yourself up so well at such a young age is an absolute testament to your discipline, long term mindset and willingness to back yourself. Those traits will take you a long way.

We’re looking forward to continuing the relationship and supporting you as you grow your portfolio.

Thanks again for the trust, Daniel.

We cannot recommend the team at Strategic Investors Group enough. Kiril, Bryan and Arkadiusz are definitely industry leaders who have been nothing but professional, honest and supportive. My partner and I cannot thank them enough for all the time they've provided in empowering us as first home buyers. From almost buying a home out of emotion after our first ever inspection, to securing a property that we not only love but in an area with long term growth. They really went above and beyond in creating an individualised plan for our circumstance, providing us countless hours of feedback and coaching and most importantly putting our best interests at heart every step of the way. Incredibly grateful for their expertise, patience and willingness to answer all questions. If you want to buy with confidence and work with a team who puts your best interest first definitely reach out to Strategic Investor Group.

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words Daniel, this truly means a lot to our entire team.

It was an absolute pleasure working with you and Chrisann throughout your first home journey. Buying your first property can be an emotional and overwhelming experience, and you handled it with real openness and discipline....which made all the difference. We’re especially proud that you secured a home you love and one positioned for long term growth. That balance is exactly what we aim for.

At Strategic Investors Group, our focus is always on education, strategy and protecting our clients’ best interests, so hearing that you felt empowered and supported every step of the way is the best possible feedback we could ever receive.

Thank you again for placing your trust in us.... and for taking the time to genuinely share your experience. We’re excited to see what the next chapter holds for you both and we’re always here if you need guidance in the future.

The best in the business. Ash is the ultimate professional and got me into my first home! 🏠 Ash has been incredibly patient and understanding throughout the entire process and when I was close to giving up on buying my first place he was still checking in to see how he could help me. After 3 years of pre-approvals and savings/pay-rise conversations I’ve been finally formally approved for my first home and I genuinely couldn’t have done it without both Ash and the team from Strategic. Having a broker who’s patient, understanding but also has the know-how to problem solve for what you need is priceless. Would recommend Ash in a heartbeat! - Moamen

I can’t recommend Strategic Investor Group highly enough. As a first-home buyer, the process felt daunting at first, but having such a knowledgeable and supportive team made it genuinely smooth from beginning to end. Bryan and Arkadiusz provided clear, thoughtful guidance across financial advice and loan options, ensuring everything was structured correctly and that I felt confident at every stage. Kiril and Arkadiusz provided fantastic information on the Area X-ray & 53Invest tour and were very supportive and knowledgable. Katherine was absolutely fantastic as my buyer’s agent, supporting me through the entire property search, negotiations and ultimately securing my apartment. I also worked with Georgia from CSL Legal and Josh for my building and pest inspection who helped me to buy with confidence. Having one cohesive team working seamlessly together made the entire experience so much easier. Communication was excellent throughout — the team were responsive, patient, and always happy to answer my many questions as I navigated this process for the first time. Each person brought real expertise in their area, and I always felt they had my best interests at heart. The team are knowledgeable, personable and a genuine pleasure to work with. Thanks to Strategic, I was able to buy with confidence. If you’re a first-home buyer unsure where to start, I highly recommend Strategic Investor Group! I look forward to continuing to work with them in the future.

Outstanding feedback Alyssa, thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review.

Helping first home buyers navigate their very first purchase is exactly why Strategic Investor Group exists. Buying property in Sydney can feel overwhelming, so having a fully integrated buyers agency, financial advice and lending team working together makes a real difference.

It was great to see you lean into the process and use the full Strategic framework, from the Area-Xray and 53Invest tour through to lending structure, property strategy and negotiation. Katherine did an exceptional job as your buyer’s agent, and Bryan, Arkadiusz and the broader team ensured everything was set up correctly from day one so you could buy with confidence.

Congratulations on your new home, and thank you again for trusting Strategic Finance & Buyers Agents Sydney with such an important milestone. We look forward to continuing to support you as your property journey evolves.

We bought our first home with the help of Ash H from Strategic Finance. As first home buyers, he clearly and patiently explained the whole borrowing process to us.

Big thank you to Katherine, Sophie and Ash for helping me secure my first property. Katherine as a buyer’s agent is knowledgeable, efficient and personable. She understood what I was looking for and I trusted her advice and guidance. Sophie was recommended by friend and it is obvious why. She presented and explained the best loan options and patiently guided me through the whole process. Shutout to Ash who stepped in seamlessly. They work closely as a team and communicated clearly through each step in the process and made it easy and stress free for me. Fantastic team!
