“I was working as a railway signalling engineer in big companies. A very lucrative career, but I was very passionate about property. I started buying for myself, did a lot of search, spent money on education, bought a few properties, and I just loved doing it. I thought, should I do a side hustle?”
Despite having a well-paying career that required years of education, including a Masters in Electrical Engineering and a post-graduate diploma in signalling, Dinesh found his true passion in property. After five years in the railway industry, he began building his property portfolio and sharing his knowledge online, which quickly gained traction.
“There was a point when I was getting a lot of client requests. I was studying, working full-time, had a newborn baby, and this side hustle. It was overwhelming. When I did calculations, I realised instead of doing 3-4 clients part-time, I could easily handle 6-8 clients. It was a no-brainer.”
What sets Prop Experts apart is their community-building approach. This strategy has paid off with 30-40% of their business coming from repeat clients and referrals.
“BAI gave me the framework to hit the ground running. I was following a lot of other BAs who started earlier, and the common connection I found with many successful ones was that they were all from BAI. That built my confidence.”
Dinesh aims to scale to 20+ deals monthly by next year and position his business as one of Australia’s leading buyers agencies. His long-term vision includes creating joint ventures with clients and expanding his educational platform to help more Australians make informed property decisions.
“Be consistent in producing results and putting out quality content. Don’t compromise on quality and client satisfaction. Some clients have bought five properties with us. Repeating business is one blessing, and referrals are another. Be consistent and provide quality.”
