Calla Property Opiniones 8

I had already been working with Susan Farquhar and Kit Farley on another project when I found myself in a situation where my initial land registration was delayed. With approved finance ready to go, I was keen to invest sooner rather than later, so I reached out to Calla Property in October to see if they could help me find something that was ready in the meantime.
Susan asked if I could give her two weeks to come back with options. I kept my expectations modest and continued searching through my own channels, but nothing I found quite met my criteria of being ready (or close to ready) immediately. True to her word, Susan — together with Kit — came back with two well-researched options. One of them stood out: a quality property in regional Queensland, located in a well-positioned infill suburb just minutes from a major university, and only about four weeks from completion.
From there, the experience with Calla Property was excellent. They worked seamlessly with my mortgage broker, even though the process of transferring a pre-approved loan from one property to another proved to be a bit challenging. Throughout it all, Susan and Kit stayed closely involved, regularly checking in with both me and my broker to ensure everything stayed on track.
In the end, everything came together smoothly, and I was even able to settle three weeks earlier than initially anticipated — a fantastic outcome for all parties involved. The property was independently inspected by both a builder and my property manager, with no major issues and only a few minor items identified at handover.
What really reinforced my confidence in Calla’s approach was the rental outcome. The property was leased just five weeks after handover, attracting close to 60 expressions of interest. Given the timing over the Christmas and New Year period, I have no doubt it would have been tenanted even sooner under normal conditions. The strong level of quality interest speaks volumes about the depth of research and care Calla puts into selecting their projects.
I’d also like to highlight Chelsea Bruel, who manages the post-contract process. She was proactive, communicative, and highly organised — consistently keeping me updated while liaising with my mortgage broker, the builder, and my property manager. Her involvement made the entire process feel seamless from start to finish.
Susan, in particular, stood out as extremely knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely caring. At no point did I feel pressured — just supported with realistic advice and a clear focus on what was best for me as a client.
Overall, I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Calla Property. This is not a paid review, just an honest reflection of a very positive journey. Highly recommend Susan and the team.

Susan Farquhar of Calla Properties was the reason we extended our investment portfolio beyond Sydney. The depth of analysis that Calla provide on growth potential has allowed us to double our investment value in just 8 years! Calla then proactively approached us with another clever new build, we had the increased equity to reinvest. Calla has the relationships in the industry to seek out opportunities that deliver maximum return. They do their homework and we trust them completely.

I can’t recommend Susan from Calla Property highly enough.

About five years ago, I was trying to purchase my first investment property but was struggling to put together what I felt was a sufficient deposit. I remember seriously considering holding off and saving more, thinking it was the “safer” option. Susan’s response was a firm and confident “no.” She explained her view that the market was shifting into a buy-and-hold phase and that prices were likely to climb rapidly.

What really stood out was how quickly that decision paid off. The property wasn’t even finished yet, and I could already see equity building when comparing it to others in the same street.

Five years later, I reached out to her again for guidance on purchasing a family home. Even though I didn’t end up going through her company this time, she was more than willing to offer her time and advice freely.

Over the years, the amount of valuable advice Susan has given me has been immense. I’m incredibly grateful that I had the opportunity to work with her.

Thank you, Susan — I’ll always appreciate what you’ve done for me and my family.

Awful, do not recommend. We trusted Calla to help us secure our financial future. Instead it’s done the opposite and created a significant amount of debt. Calla blame everything and everyone else but we took advice from Calla and only Calla. We were not talking to anyone else. I’ve had many sleepless nights worrying about our future.

I spent the last 12-18 months trying to gather data that would inform the best investment property decision. It was hard!
We engaged multiple companies and nobody came anywhere near the accuracy and due diligence that Susan and the team deliver.
It was a pleasure to work with Calla Property and we hope to leverage them again in the future.

I used to think property investment was too complicated, until I met Calla Property!

As a recent migrant, from a developing country (Brazil) this dream of becoming a real estate investor seemed out of reach...

I remember when I first met Susan and her team, I had 5k dollars in savings...

Even then, she gave me her attention and more importantly... GUIDANCE

In less than a year I told her I was ready to do whatever it takes to buy my very first property, and she gave all the support and direction on exactly how to proceed in every step!!

I totally recommend Calla Property (if you meet me on the street I will probably talk about it anyway)

I still can't believe my investments properties are generating more income than my actual job 🤑

It's not only financial freedom, it's a peace of mind for me and my growing family ❤️

Thank you so much for all your hard work Calla Property team!!!

TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FURTHER IN DEBT SINCE TAKING THE ADVICE OF CALLA PROPERTY AND PURCHASING A PROPERTY IN MELBOURNE. AWFUL AWFUL EXPERIENCE WE’RE STILL LITERALLY PAYING THE PRICE FOR TODAY. WE TOOK OWNERSHIP OF OUR APARTMENT 20TH SEPTEMBER 23, ACCUMULATING DEBT RIGHT FROM THE GET GO. THE NEW LEVIES AND REGULATIONS THE VICTORIAN GOVERNMENT IMPOSED ONLY CAME INTO AFFECT ON THE 1ST JANUARY 2025. THIS WAS NOT THE CAUSE OF THE MAJORITY OF OUR DEBT AT THIS TIME, IN OUR OPINION, POOR ADVICE AND LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY WAS. WISH WE HAD NEVER BEEN INTRODUCED.

A Life-Changing Partnership with Calla Property

We stumbled upon Calla Property while searching for the best property management services online, and we couldn't be more grateful for that discovery. From the moment we connected with Susan, the Managing Director, we felt an immediate sense of confidence in their abilities.

Susan and her team at Calla Property worked closely with us to develop a strategic plan for success, ensuring the continuity of our project. To be honest, we were unsure if we would be able to complete this venture due to factors like age and other challenges, but the team at Calla Property believed in us every step of the way. Their knowledge, expertise, and passion for what they do made all the difference.

A special mention must go out to Chelsea Bruel, Calla's Deal Coordinator. Chelsea was the special person behind the scenes who helped our family navigate the entire process, from the building stages to the final settlement on December 17th, 2024. Without Chelsea’s guidance and expertise, I truly believe we would have gotten lost in the whirlwind of it all. Everything moved so quickly, but Chelsea helped us slow down, stay focused, and confidently move through each step.

It was because of the dedication of Susan, Chelsea, and the whole Calla team that we were able to turn our investment dream into a reality. Their unwavering support and thoughtful guidance were invaluable, and we are deeply grateful for their role in making this happen.

If you're looking for a team that truly cares about your success and will go above and beyond to make your dreams come true, we wholeheartedly recommend Calla Property.

Forever Grateful
