For athletes
Income in sport is real but uneven. We help current and transitioning athletes turn playing years into property they can hold long after the contracts stop.
I played 200 games for the Aspley Hornets between 2009 and 2023, across the NEAFL, VFL and QAFL. We lost three grand finals between 2012 and 2015, and I captained the side to the 2022 QAFL premiership. My first property lessons came from my manager at AFL SportsReady, who showed me how equity can fund the next deposit. I build plans for athletes the way I wish mine had been built.

The short answer
Plan around the income you can rely on, not your best contract year. Buy assets you could hold if playing income stopped tomorrow, keep a real buffer, and make sure each purchase has a defined job in a longer plan.
The biggest risk is not a bad suburb. It is buying at the peak of your earnings into a structure that only works while the contract lasts.
What we focus on
We model holding costs against the income you expect after sport, not just this season's contract.
A cash buffer is set aside before the first offer, so injury, delisting or a gap between contracts does not force a sale.
Training, travel and games leave little time for inspections. We run the search, comparables, negotiation and due diligence for you.
The game plan
Your contract position, income outlook, borrowing, buffer and goals after sport, working alongside your broker, accountant and manager.
Markets chosen for durable demand, not hype. Every property assessed with manual comparable sales.
Negotiation, due diligence and settlement handled for you, then reviews at month one, mid-year and twelve months.

Common questions
Lenders assess contract and sporting income differently, and policies vary. That is a question for a broker who understands athlete income. We work alongside yours, or can introduce one.
Often it makes sense to buy while income is strong, but only into a position you could hold if playing income stopped. The plan comes first.
A fixed fee agreed upfront, split equally between engagement and unconditional exchange. It does not change with the purchase price.
