Everything You Need to Know

Eleva Property is a Queensland property company offering three services: Property Partnerships (joint ventures where we fund and manage all preparation work to maximise your sale price), Direct Acquisitions (fast cash purchases with no agent fees), and Property Income (where we master-lease your property and manage it as professionally furnished shared accommodation, delivering above-market passive income). All services are designed to create better outcomes for property owners without the friction of traditional real estate.

We operate across Queensland including Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Logan, and Ipswich. Key suburbs include New Farm, Paddington, West End, Bulimba, Hawthorne, Ascot, Burleigh Heads, Mermaid Waters, Maroochydore, Noosa Heads, Springwood, Beenleigh, Springfield, and Booval. Contact us if your suburb is not listed — our coverage continues to expand.

There are no upfront fees for any of our three services. Property Partnerships are funded entirely by Eleva — preparation costs, trades, and project management come out of proceeds at settlement. Direct Acquisitions involve no agent commissions, marketing costs, or legal fees on your side. Property Income involves no capital outlay from you — Eleva handles the fit-out, tenants, and operations. Every arrangement is clearly documented before work begins.

The easiest way is to fill in the contact form or send us a WhatsApp message at +61 405 242 980. Describe your property and what outcome you're looking for. We typically respond within one business day to arrange an initial conversation. There is no obligation at this stage — we'll discuss your situation and recommend the right path, whether that is a partnership, a direct sale, a reset, or simply pointing you elsewhere if we are not the right fit.

Start by understanding your options before committing to an agent or a marketing campaign. A basic selling checklist includes: getting a current property valuation, understanding your costs (agent commission, conveyancing, marketing), deciding whether to sell as-is or prepare the property first, and confirming your settlement timeline. If your property needs work before sale, Eleva's property partnership model lets you prepare and sell without paying anything upfront.

Selling through a traditional agent in Queensland typically costs 2–3% in agent commission, plus marketing (often $2,000–$8,000), conveyancing fees, and any pre-sale preparation work. On a $700,000 property that can easily exceed $25,000 before you've settled. Eleva's property partnership model eliminates agent commission and preparation costs — we fund all preparation work and take our share from proceeds at settlement. You pay nothing upfront.

Conveyancing costs in Queensland typically range from $1,200 to $2,500 for the vendor, depending on the solicitor and complexity of the sale. Both buyer and seller pay their own conveyancing costs separately. These fees cover contract preparation, title searches, settlement coordination, and liaising with the buyer's solicitor. They apply regardless of whether you sell through an agent, through Eleva, or directly to a buyer.

A traditional agent lists your property publicly and earns a commission (typically 2–3%) when it sells. You pay for marketing, and the property sells in its current condition. Eleva is not a real estate agent — we are either a co-investor in a property partnership (where we fund and manage preparation work to potentially maximise your sale price, sharing proceeds at settlement) or a direct purchaser (where we buy your property for cash with no agent required). There are no upfront costs with either Eleva model.

A property joint venture is a formal arrangement where you contribute your property and Eleva Property contributes the capital, trades, and project management needed to prepare it for sale. Once the property sells, proceeds are split according to agreed terms after costs are covered. You receive more than you would from a standard as-is sale without spending anything upfront.

Eleva funds all preparation costs — materials, labour, trades coordination, styling, photography, and project management. You provide access to the property and your agreement to proceed. There are no holding costs or out-of-pocket expenses for you during the project.

Yes. You retain legal title to the property throughout the partnership. Eleva Property does not require a caveat or mortgage as a condition of the arrangement. The partnership terms are documented in a formal agreement that sets out each party's rights, responsibilities, and the agreed profit-share structure before any work begins.

The partnership agreement includes a minimum floor price — if the property sells below this threshold, the deal does not proceed to settlement without mutual agreement. Eleva absorbs the risk on preparation costs. Our interest is aligned with yours: we only profit when the property achieves a strong result.

Most partnerships run 8 to 18 weeks from agreement signing to settlement. The preparation phase is typically 4 to 10 weeks depending on scope. Marketing and sale preparation add a further 2 to 6 weeks depending on market conditions. Some projects move faster; larger scope projects may take longer. We provide a project timeline at the outset so you know exactly what to expect.

Eleva buys properties directly, for cash, without the need for a real estate agent, marketing campaign, or open homes. You pay no commission and no marketing costs. Settlement can happen in as little as 14 days if the property is vacant. Our offer is based on comparable sales, the property's condition, and our costs — and we explain exactly how we reached the figure. It suits owners who need speed, certainty, or a clean exit without the usual process. Learn more about selling direct.

We can settle in as little as 14 days if the property is vacant and documentation is straightforward. Most direct purchases settle in 3 to 6 weeks. If you need more time, we can accommodate a longer settlement at your request. Speed depends partly on conveyancing — we recommend vendors engage a solicitor early to avoid delays. Learn more at How to Sell Without an Agent in SEQ.

Our offer is based on current comparable sales in your area, the property's condition, estimated holding and preparation costs, and our required margin to make the project viable. We aim to make a fair offer that reflects genuine market value net of costs — not a lowball. We will explain exactly how we reached the figure so you can make an informed decision.

No agent commission, no marketing costs, no auction fees, no staging costs. You are responsible for your own conveyancing/legal fees (as in any property sale) and any outstanding rates or levies. The price we offer is the price you receive at settlement — no deductions from our side.

Yes. We regularly purchase tenanted properties. The tenancy transfers with the sale in accordance with the Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation Act 2008 (Qld). If vacant possession is required, this needs to be arranged by the vendor in accordance with tenancy law before settlement. We can advise on this during the assessment.

Property Income is a long-term arrangement where Eleva Property master-leases your property, furnishes it to a professional standard, and manages everything — tenants, maintenance, and day-to-day operations. You receive above-market passive income for the term of the arrangement with no management responsibilities. It's an alternative to selling for owners who want their property working harder without giving up the asset. See our property income page for more detail.

Above-market means we pay more than a standard whole-house rental would return in the same suburb. Because we manage the property as professionally furnished shared accommodation, we can generate stronger returns — and we pass a share of that to you as the owner. The exact figure depends on the property and location, which we confirm at assessment.

We focus on 4–5 bedroom homes, particularly properties near universities, hospitals, transport corridors, and employment hubs. The property does not need to be vacant — we can discuss transition timelines if there is an existing tenancy coming to an end.

Yes. You retain full ownership of your property throughout the arrangement. This is not a sale — it is a long-term management arrangement. You can sell the property when the arrangement concludes or negotiate a sale at any point in accordance with the agreement terms.

Arrangements are typically 2–3 years. This gives both parties the certainty of a long-term arrangement — you receive consistent above-market income for the duration, and we have the stability to operate the property professionally. Terms are clearly documented before the arrangement begins.

Eleva Property is not a licensed real estate agent and does not list properties for sale on your behalf. Our property partnership and direct acquisition services are structured as principal transactions — we are either a co-investor or a purchaser, not an agent. When a property goes to market through a partnership, a licensed real estate agent is engaged separately to manage the sale campaign.

Your data is handled in accordance with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and our Privacy Policy. We collect only what is needed to assess and manage your property arrangement. We do not sell personal data to third parties. You can request access to or correction of your data at any time by contacting office@elevaproperty.com.au.

Yes. Property details you share during an initial conversation are treated as confidential. Before any formal arrangement is documented, we can sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement if required. Information is only shared with parties directly involved in the project — trades, legal advisors, and real estate agents where applicable — and only to the extent necessary.
