"From the initial sit down conversation about service Frank provides to closing a contract was under 2 weeks!
Our initial requirements in what we were looking for, were all met.
Within a week we were briefed on 20 properties and physically saw 10.
Frank delivered well above our expectations and was extremely professional and a pleasure to work with.
He delivered the perfect property and probably saved us in the region of $150-250,000.
We would highly recommend Frank for anyone looking for a home or investment property and would definitely use Frank again if purchasing again in the future."
"Best customer service I have experienced since I can remember.
Frank is dedicated, committed, honest, transparent, and operates with a very high level of integrity.
I would highly recommend Frank to anyone looking to buy a home or investment property. We exchanged today and I have already recommended Frank to close friends and family.
Frank successfully navigated, guided, negotiated, and executed on a home acquisition for my wife and I in less than 2 weeks. Is this a record Frank?
He is an expert negotiator and saved us significantly more than what we may have otherwise paid for a property, in an incredibly short amount of time."
“We used Frank to buy an investment property and were very happy with the whole experience.
Frank put together a good shortlist, did thorough due diligence and got us to a place where we had two properties we liked.
He then negotiated on each and got us a purchase price we were very pleased with.
Everything was very smooth.”
"Frank Russo is a real professional, he understood what I was looking for and wasn't afraid to speak his mind.
I can see he's very experience in the market and his advice was valuable in helping me deciding on my first investment property.
Even though my property value is small compared to some of the work he does, at no times I felt rush or push to make a decision and Frank made me feel important.
He's always available at all times, he's also generous with his advice in other aspect of property investment even though he's not paid for it.
Having Frank's help really took away a lot of the potential stress and making the entire experience much more positive."
"The Eastern Suburbs Real Estate market is vicious for a buyer, good properties often sell within days and there is no time to research to make sure you are buying the right property. I was struggling to buy in Bondi Beach, I was feeling overwhelmed and alone. I had a limited budget and very specific location requirements. I realised that a Buyer’s Agent would give me the help I really needed.
I met with the first 2 buyers agents, and found one local buyers agent was dishonest to me, the other didn’t specialise in the area.
I was then referred to Frank Russo, by a very well respected person in the eastern suburbs real estate industry and after we met, I knew I could trust him.
His knowledge of the local market, and his background as a builder, along with his strategies for finding off-market properties was definitely the combination of skills and knowledge I needed.
Frank worked hard to get me into off market properties, was balanced and honest with his recommendations and relentless with his negotiations. His assessment of strata reports, contracts and the complex selling and negotiating methods used by Bondi real estate agents was spot on.
He was calm and reassuring when I felt down, and didn’t give up when things looked grim.
Unbelievably I ended up in the driver's seat to choose between 5 properties at great prices and did not waste money on strata reports for properties I was never going to get.
He ended up securing me my favourite property, working extra hard to get me the best price. The final price he negotiated was well below the amount I had authorised him to bid to. I was amazed.
I really wish I had engaged Frank when I bought my previous property. He would have saved me a lot of money and heartache and would have identified the well hidden building defects.
I am very happy with the result!
He definitely saved me way more than his fee.
I highly recommend his services to anybody looking to buy property in the Eastern Suburbs. He is a fantastic buyers agent and an honest and wonderful person."
"What a great experience - signed on Sunday and bought the following Saturday! Frank helped us look past cosmetics and buy a place that was great value in a great location. The value that Frank brings far exceeds the initial outlay."
“Frank Russo is fantastic! After close to two years of searching we finally decided to engage a Buyer's Agent and Frank did not disappoint.
At our first meeting Frank said we should have something locked in within 3 weeks (which we thought was agent talk). Within 2 weeks of signing up with Frank we had exchanged contracts.
Frank is responsive. He kept us up to date on a daily basis of the listings and his analysis in respect of each property using a very user friendly portal. Not being from the Eastern suburbs ourselves and being very time poor, Frank inspected a number of properties on his own on the weekends and gave us a shortlist of properties that matched our criteria. He then picked us up, drove us to each appointment and back again.
He made all relevant enquiries during the due diligence phase and did all the liaising with agents, negotiating the price, etc. His knowledge of real estate in the Eastern Suburbs and his calm and calculated approach (not to mention his background in building) make him very valuable in the buying game.
Frank also produced a couple of property reports that helped us to see the investment potential of the properties that we were considering which we found very useful.
I highly recommend Frank.”
“We had been looking for 10 frustrating months before we engaged Frank. 2 months later we bought our home and couldn't be happier.
It was one of the multiple off market opportunities he found for us, is beyond what we thought was achievable and for a great price.
Frank was great to deal with, very hands on and attentive (we spoke most days over the two months) and took the time to get to know us and really understand our needs.
What’s more, Franks background as a builder was invaluable to point out what changes were and weren't feasible to the properties we were looking at and the approximate costs.
Couldn't recommend Frank more highly.”
“Frank found my dream home off market, almost ticked all my boxes and within my budget.
Frank was very thorough and gave some good tips and advice about adding value and improvements to my property.
Highly recommend Search Find Invest to help you find your next property.”
"“Wow, what a star! I can't speak highly enough about Frank and the value he added to my purchase process.
He made it stress free, enjoyable and very quick to find the unicorn of Bondi Properties (2bed, balcony, car park, ocean views at a very good price).
No one knows Bondi and the market as well as Frank does and his experience and relationships are invaluable in the end to end process of search, find, negotiate and process the purchase.
I highly recommend Frank's services to all that are looking for a property in Bondi”
"We have recently bought our family home with the support from Frank.
We simply could not have bought this house without Frank.
We really enjoyed his experience, his hard-work to find us the right properties and his talent for closing the deal and getting us to the finish line.
All this in record time. Many thanks Frank."
“I had been searching for a specific type of home for some time, with frustration and disappointment my only result.
I was referred to a Buyer’s Agent named Frank Russo, as a buying specialist in the Eastern Suburbs area.
Frank was a great assistance in the whole buying process, very professional and gave excellent advice.
I would highly recommend him to anyone searching for a property!”
“If you’re thinking of using a buyer’s agent, you NEED to use Frank Russo!
My husband and I had been looking for a year for our first apartment in Sydney’s East, though were always outbid on offers and at auctions, mislead by sales agents, and exhausted after a full Saturday of driving between inspections, and we were just over it.
Frank took all the stress out of the process, and within 24 hours of meeting him he had a shortlist of great relevant properties for us. On the list was a property we loved, but we were worried we might not afford it.
Frank developed a strategy for how we would approach our offer, and in under 2 weeks we had contracts exchanged on a beautiful 2 bed, art deco unit in Bondi! 100% recommend Frank!”
"Frank Russo recently assisted a client of mine and was super impressed with the quality of his advice and service. If you looking for an honest and hard working propert professional then Franks your man."
“I highly recommend Frank Russo.
He secured a fantastic Bondi property for me within a fortnight.
Prior to this I had been searching for close to two years. Frank is diligent, trustworthy, proactive and great at what he does.
His knowledge of the market and comparables helped remove uncertainty from the process, and most importantly he helped me find the best property in my price range and in my desired location.
Thanks Frank for a great experience”
"We can unreservedly recommend Frank Russo as a top buyers agent. He knows the market inside out, never gives up and is patient beyond measure.
When it comes to negotiating you definitely want him on your team. It was an absolute pleasure dealing with him!
"Frank Russo was a pleasure to work with!
He truly understood our needs and what we were looking for and persisted until he got the best outcome for us.
It was a smooth and enjoyable process from beginning to end and he took all the hard work out of searching and buying a home. Also Frank is very knowledgeable on all suburbs in Sydney which is bonus when your search criteria is rather large.
I will definitely be working with Frank again when we need to look for our next home!"
“Working with Frank Russo and the team was simple, easy and exceptionally professional.
We would recommend the engagement of Search Find Invest to any buyer who would like to get a heads up in a very difficult market the right guidance to secure a property."
“Frank Russo was recommended to us by contacts in the Finance Industry.
We couldn't be happier with the process, pace or outcome.
Already looking to engage his services again in 2017”
"We spent many months trying to purchase a suitable property for our family, with no success..
Then we found Frank Russo.
His calm, measured approach was just what we needed and within a matter of weeks he had located exactly the kind of property we had hoped for and secured it for us, hassle free.
He was encouraging, positive and professional the entire time and truly made it an enjoyable, stress free experience.
I can't thank Frank enough, I know we would not have found our new home without his help.”
"I really can't speak highly enough of Sonia. I liked her from the start. I did research other buyers agents and their fees. I know I could have paid less with some of the others but I didn't think that they would understand what I was after and I thought they would push me into something unsuitable.
Sonia Jacob-Farr took the time to understand my situation and what my requirements were and so I completely trusted her judgement at a time when I wasn't 100% trusting of my own. I liked that she explained the process and the timeframe. I also liked that she made me really think about each area I was looking at and also introduced me to others I hadn't thought of.
I loved that she had already seen most of the properties before I saw them. She has a great eye for detail and was great at pointing out problems with any renovations etc. I think Sonia was also very quick to discern my taste.
I loved that Sonia gave me a great price, a market price and a premium price guide to each property. She was well versed in the sales history of the area and was able to explain comparisons between the properties.
Sonia has exquisite taste and I am excited to work with her on future renovations!
I am proud of how well Sonia negotiated, she did so well. I could tell she really did enjoy it and she is very good at it! Definitely the smiling assassin. I was completely comfortable to let Sonia negotiate on my behalf and wasn't nervous regarding the potential loss as I knew that if it didn't work out she would have a dozen more properties for me to see the following week.
I thought her performance was amazing.”
“Frank has purchased me yet another off market gem of a property in Bondi Beach to add to my portfolio. This property is so desirable that I have decided to move into it and enjoy for myself.
There is absolutely no way I would have been able to secure on my own.
Frank found the property and expertly negotiated the purchase, showing yet again he has mastered the skills of his craft. Thank you Frank. ”
“Frank Russo came highly recommended as someone who could assist us in buying our first home in Sydney.
We had been looking to invest in the property market for a few months without success and upon calling on Frank’s services we knew we had made the right decision.
Frank's experience and knowledge allowed the buying process to be a straightforward and exciting venture. He listened to exactly what we were looking for and was always polite, supportive and genuine. We believe he gave us that edge when negotiating and making offers.
We could not have got into the market so quickly and with such confidence without Frank’s services. Thank you so much!”
“Professional, responsive, accurate, well connected - he's fantastic to work with and has a deep knowledge of the locality. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Frank Russo, he got me a great result in a very short time frame”
“Brilliant! Frank Russo was exceptional in hunting down the right property for me and getting a great price, and hassle free when making an offer.
I highly recommend his services to anyone looking to buy a property”
“Franks in depth knowledge of the area and contacts with the local selling agents has helped me secure another off market property in one of the best locations in Bondi Beach.
I believe using a professional like Frank is the only way to ensure you get the best result with your property purchase.
Frank lives and breathes his profession, and follows through with everything he says, always”
"I had been looking to buy an investment unit for 2 years without success.
After meeting with Frank and briefing him, he found the type of unit I had been looking for within 1 month of our first meeting, an off market investment in Bondi of the Eastern Suburbs
Frank presented a number of properties in a short time frame, and negotiated successfully late on a Friday afternoon to secure my preferred property at a price below market value.
Frank saved me time in my search which in this rising market = money saved and gains made.
I am in the process of signing another agency agreement with Frank so I can get my next one as soon as possible"
“What a pleasure! Frank helped us secure our first home and we couldn't be happier. He is a family man with family values and our trust in each other was cemented from our first meeting together.
His helpful advice was offered for free on a number of occasions before we committed to enlisting him as our buyer's agent.
We are so happy we found Frank and SFI and would gladly recommend them to anyone else looking for assistance on the property market and securing a property. Feel free to ask Frank for my phone number if you'd like to discuss our experience further”
“Engaging Frank was hands down the best decision we could have made when it came to securing our new home.
Before we engaged the services of Frank, we found Real Estate Agents to be flippant, they didn’t take us seriously, and we found them very difficult to deal with.
Things changed once we got Frank on board.
Having spent many Saturdays looking at properties with Frank, we came to realise a few things…
He has a great working relationship with many agents around Sydney, and knows how to use this to his (your) advantage.
While remaining calm and collected at all times, he can see a great opportunity from a mile away, and knows exactly when and how to strike.
His finger is always on the pulse, and he also provided us with opportunities that we may never had known existed otherwise.
Combining all this, Frank managed to find us the perfect home. We couldn’t have secured such a fantastic opportunity within our budget without him, we are sure of it!”
"After a recent separation from my wife, I decided to look for a place to buy in Bondi. Whilst still running a business & finalising details with my wife, life was pretty hectic! I noticed many of the properties I liked were selling before Auction & I simply wasn't able to keep up! On one day I attended over 15 inspections! I spoke to numerous agents who often left messages as I was so busy, often they would send me info on properties well outside of my search criteria, often they wouldn't even take me seriously enough to return emails, sms’s, phone calls etc. Then there's reading contracts, organising building inspections, strata reports etc. I didn't even get to these.
Then one day I got a message from Frank. Naturally I was sceptical at first, how can he save me money? What's his incentive to do this? How can he find the right property better than I could do myself? I recall we exchanged several emails & I had many more questions than above, Frank answered every one of them and I found myself beginning to nod my head, 'maybe he could help me', I thought. Then we decided to arrange a meeting where I again peppered him with many questions, and all his answers just made sense! More exposure to off market properties, being taken seriously by agents, his building background, (absolutely invaluable so I could factor in costs of repairs, reno's etc.), negotiating techniques, his knowledge of the market trends, availability to attend any inspections, understanding of the whole buying process, his contacts with agents, solicitors, financiers etc., assistance with directing my focus on the ideal property, & more.................
So Frank got the business and from day 1, Frank got on with the job, contacted 15 principal agents promptly so the effect was multiplied! I consistently received updates & every time we spoke, I found him to be very pleasant & continued to be impressed by his knowledge & approach. At this point there was very little for me to do except focus on the many other important things in my life, it sure gave me piece of mind having Frank in my corner & reduced the stress substantially! Frank managed to secure me a property that I'm really happy with, (showing it to me over a month before it was to hit the market) at a price much less than I expected! I looking forward to moving in next week.
Frank, I couldn't have done it without you mate & I'm very grateful to have had you on my side, call it fate? In any case, you have my phone number & I'm more than happy for you to pass it on to any prospective clients if they want to speak to a very happy client."
“Purchasing our own home was handled professionally by Search Find Invest. Their advice on adding value was very helpful for us, as we would have probably spent more and not achieved the same improvement without their expert advice and guidance. We are very happy with the final outcome”
