“I spent nearly a hundred thousand dollars in education on property development from different mentors. My idea was to use that knowledge to make a business out of helping someone who’s new into this business.”
Moving to Australia from India in 2008, Arj studied business and IT at Melbourne University, later adding a data science degree. His property interest began in 2016 when searching for his family home. Despite his father being in real estate development in India for 30 years, Arj only embraced the industry after experiencing challenges buying off-the-plan in Australia.
After attending property bootcamps, Arj established Sunnybrix with a business partner, focusing on land subdivisions in regional Victoria. They’ve completed two developments with three more in the pipeline, set to deliver 20 lots in the coming year.
“When I learned about BAI, I started researching and became very interested. All that while I’ve only known about buyers agents, I never knew how someone could become an agent.”
Joining BAI in 2020, Arj runs his buyer’s agency part-time, focusing on close connections to ensure quality service. His approach emphasises education, explaining the data-driven reasons behind property selections.
“I see the buyers agency as a nice cash flow into our business while we do the equity uplift through development.”
