Our approach
Purpose
Your reason for investing helps guide our approach. Whether for your retirement, your children’s education or building a nest egg for the future, we get to the heart of the reasons behind your property investment dreams.
Strategy
Some people invest in property to generate a source of cash, and others to improve the value of their portfolio. Whatever your motivation, we carefully develop a strategy that builds an asset base to meet your wealth development goals.
Sourcing
Our Australia-wide market knowledge enables us to source the best investment options for your consideration. We then negotiate on your behalf to secure each property. We also assist when you want to divest and reinvest in your portfolio.
Review
Your investment portfolio is dynamic. As such, it requires ongoing care from experts who understand fluctuating market conditions. We work to ensure your investment strategy stays aligned with your wealth development goals.
We regularly find properties others don’t know about.
Many of these are ‘off market’ and sold before they even get advertised to the general public.
About Us
Merritt Property Group is truly independent. We act for you alone.
With access to properties Australia-wide, we work tirelessly for clients to find the best investment opportunities at any time in the market. Most importantly, we’re property investors ourselves. That means we know the risks and understand what’s involved in securing property and building a portfolio.
We ensure your property investment process is as stress-free as possible. When you work with us, you can be confident you are working with experienced professionals and our independent network of solicitors, property managers, finance brokers, builders and consultants to ensure you get solid and impartial advice and assistance.

Paul Merritt found us the perfect investment property opportunity for our family trust investment strategy. He sourced the block of land with a custom to fit house design, with a very competitive build price, that was delivered on time and budget. He even advised on the area, Northgate, which has seen huge growth since.
He was honest, professional and direct and was looking out for our best interests through the entire process. He was fantastic to deal with and we will definitely be using Paul to source our next property investment.
