Am thinking about attending a Wakelin property seminar in Melbourne. Does anyone have first-hand experience of their services? I have seen posts mentioning their $10,000 buyers' advocate rate - what does this cover?
Hi smartbuy,
I have met with the Wakelin's twice. I subscribe to their theory in part - which is to buy blue-chip property in the inner suburbs. However I believe their strategy is very stringent.
I am sure their seminar would be informative though, but if you already have a portfolio of property don't let them talk you into selling it all and buying only in the areas they research. They tried to do this to me, and to others on here as well. Luckily I thought twice!
All the best,
Regards Jason.
G'day Jason,
Is this to say you don't rate them or their advice/policies ??
Or, if you do use them tread carefully?
I am aware of the name thru not only his site but API magazine and a few mentions in other sites/publications - are they worth their fees for the advice/service?

It was great to have my skill validated, although they did miss a huge issue with the property that I picked up.
If I were an overseas or interstate buyer this would have been missed. It was also not raised during the auction (even at my suggestion), and given the fact that other owners in the block were unaware of it prior to purchase I'd bet another $10k that some of my competing bidders didn't also. Raising this issue would have 'revealed our high interest in the property', although IMO it would have caused other buyers to hesitate in their bidding.
