Property Acquisition Manager

FINR Advisory is a Melbourne-based advisory firm offering end-to-end services in finance, property strategy, and buyer's advocacy. We guide clients through the entire property buying journey - from financial preparation to strategy, sourcing, and purchase - helping them make smarter property decisions with confidence.

We're looking for a proactive and results-driven Property Acquisition Manager to join our Buyer's Advocacy team in Melbourne. In this client-facing, on-the-ground role, you'll be responsible for identifying and securing high-quality property opportunities - many of which will be off-market or pre-market.

You'll be managing relationships with real estate agents, inspecting properties, negotiating directly with selling agents, and bidding at auctions on behalf of clients. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on fast decision-making, enjoys negotiation, and knows how to work a deal to get results.
