The InvestorKit Brand and Vision:
InvestorKit was founded in 2017 by Arjun Paliwal, with the mission to help clients “Invest with confidence, outperform the market, and build a high-performing property portfolio.” This mission drives everything we do. In-fact it’s even reflected in our mission and vision statements:
Mission:
To improve the lives of our clients by helping them invest with confidence, outperform the market and build a high performing property portfolio.
Vision:
To be the most trusted, data driven Buyers Agency for successful business owners & professionals looking to scale their portfolios.
To achieve this we’ve developed an agency model with dedicated experts in each core division: strategy, research, acquisitions, and client success. You’ll get to know these divisions in greater detail, but the key is that to be industry-leading, we believe in a team approach—no single person handles every step of the client journey.
Through podcast insights, monthly white papers, blog posts, and the team regularly sharing valuable property investment knowledge, we focus on educating the Australian public to make data-backed decisions when it comes to property investing.
At InvestorKit, our focus isn’t just on profit margins. If it were, we’d run a very different model. Instead, we’re committed to investing back into the business, resources, and into people. We know that when our people are happy, fulfilled, and supported, it leads to outstanding client experiences.

Tips for engaging with our clients
- Showcase Expertise Without Overwhelming: These clients value expertise but often prefer actionable insights over extensive technical details. Be prepared to explain complex ideas in a straightforward way and focus on outcomes that align with their goals, rather than going too deep into the process unless they ask.
- Build Trust Through Transparency: High achievers are typically analytical and appreciate honesty. If there’s a limitation, a potential risk, or a realistic time frame for returns, be upfront. Transparency will help build trust and set you apart from other agents who might overpromise.
- Demonstrate Value Early: Time-poor professionals appreciate when you cut to the chase. Lead with value from the first interaction—whether that’s through sharing a tailored insight, highlighting relevant case studies, or focusing on how your service solves a specific problem for them.
- Position Yourself as a Partner, Not Just a Service Provider: Make it clear that, with InvestorKit, they’re not just hiring a buyer’s agent, but gaining a dedicated property team—including a strategist, research analyst, acquisition analyst, and client success manager—all working together to achieve their investment goals.
- Highlight that this team-centric approach differentiates InvestorKit from competitors who may just offer basic services, while InvestorKit provides a full suite of expertise to ensure every decision is backed by data and strategy.
- Reinforce that this tailored team is designed to manage all aspects of their property journey, giving them peace of mind and the ability to focus on their own career while the experts handle the heavy lifting.
- Mirror Their Communication Style: Some of these clients will be very direct and results-focused, while others may enjoy more detailed conversations. Match their tone and communication style to keep the conversation comfortable and productive. This will also make them feel heard and understood.
- Demonstrate Preparedness and Initiative: Always come to meetings prepared with relevant data, examples, or suggestions that reflect the specific challenges or goals we’ve discussed with them previously (Use the notes within Attio). Following up on any previous conversations or insights shows that you’re attentive and proactive.
- Show Interest in Their Success Beyond Property: While they’re here to discuss property investments, many successful professionals enjoy talking about their broader achievements. Acknowledging their career success or personal accomplishments demonstrates that you see them as a person, not just a client. Create a connection that goes beyond just the immediate transaction.
- Be Confident but Humble: These clients are often successful and may challenge your expertise. Confidence is key—but pair it with humility. If they ask a question you don’t have an answer to, don’t hesitate to say, “I’ll check that for you and follow up.” It shows integrity and competence.
- Be Solution-Oriented: When challenges arise (or when they test you), always bring the conversation back to solutions. Problem-solving is highly valued by goal-driven clients, so make sure to frame any issue or query in terms of how it can be addressed effectively.
- Follow Up Consistently: These clients are busy, and sometimes they might not get back to you right away. Consistent and professional follow-ups (without being pushy) keep you top of mind and reinforce your reliability.
