I strongly recommend Opes. They have made this process which could be highly stressful, absolutely stressless. And they are very prompt in answering questions. And always willing to work to your time schedule. The level of professionalism is very impressive.
I have recently started working with Opes in terms of building a property portfolio. I am still very much in the process. Our offer on the first property has gone unconditional but it will not settle till January 2025. So, the journey is not complete yet.
But at this point of time. I am very happy I decided to approach Opes. Our CRM Jeremy Ferguson along with April Hastilow, Carina Fox and Bill McGavock have made this process extremely easy and stressless.
Could I have done this on my own? Most likely not. For one thing, time is a huge constraint for me. Clearly, I could have done this much earlier but did not. It was only after I got in touch with Opes that I made progress. Second, there are lots of calculations involved and the spreadsheets provided by Jeremy in simulating different outcomes were hugely beneficial. There is a lot of nitty gritty knowledge involved, whether it is figuring out the best possible loan structure or the projected costs/rental income/cash flow that someone not steeped in the process would not be familiar with.
Opes provides a wealth of expertise and wisdom that is not easily available. Maybe you can acquire this on your own but for people with other commitments, the opportunity cost of taking the time out of work to do this is very high and often impossible. You will need to devote a lot of time to acquire the information that Opes brings to the table.
Overall, I strongly recommend Opes. They have made this process which could be highly stressful, absolutely stressless. And they are very prompt in answering questions. And always willing to work to your time schedule. The level of professionalism is very impressive.
I have learned an incredible lot through the process, and I fully anticipate working with Jeremy and Opes going forward in creating a retirement portfolio. (The Opes podcasts, many by Ed McKnight are also worth listening to.)

Hi, I’m Jeremy, a financial adviser here at Opes.
I have had a love for property and property investment for as long as I can remember, I knew it was how I wanted to build not only a passive income but generational wealth. It gives me the power to use a little to get a lot and know that while I am working for my money, in the background my money is working for me.
As our job title suggests building a successful property portfolio is a collaborative process, a partnership, and like any good partnership you need to be willing to do the work and make the changes and decisions that will see you benefit the most. The outcome needs to be income and I want you to use that income to give yourself as many options as possible.
I believe property investment is for everyone and it is just a matter of working with the right team of professionals, a team that wants to see you truly succeed. Welcome to that team.
Outside of the office I am passionate about family, friends and can't say no to pepperoni pizza. A creature of habit, you will most likely find me at the gym, failing miserably to reduce my screen time or patting any dog within arm’s reach.
What's it like working with Jeremy?

Great service! Committed staff and good online tools that minimize hassle.
Jeremy always made himself available and worked hard to find the best solution for us.
Phil L26/8/20245/5 stars We never once felt any pressure to proceed
We worked with Jeremy and Carina, who have been amazing throughout the whole process. We never once felt any pressure to proceed, we just felt supported and informed. We probably wouldn't have taken the leap, or gone through such a comprehensive due diligence process, without their guidance and knowledge. 100% recommend Opes Partners.
Lori C9/5/20245/5 stars Will be definitely working with them again!
We recently purchased an investment property through Opes. Jeremy, Carina and April from Opes were absolutely fantastic to deal with. They helped guide us through the process expertly. They made sure we knew what was happening at each step, which was great for us as the purchase happened really quickly. All questions from us were answered quickly and professionally. But most importantly for us they were all really great people to work with. We would 100% recommend them to anyone, and will be definitely working with them again!
