Structure, independence, long-term thinking.
Get RARE is an independent strategic buyer's agency. We are not paid by developers, builders or project marketers, we hold no stock to sell, and we treat property investing like portfolio management rather than shopping. This page is who we are, how the firm is built, and the numbers behind both.

Built to improve decisions, not drive transactions
Get RARE was built in response to a clear gap in the market. Too much property advice is designed to drive transactions, not improve outcomes.
It starts with the property, not the investor. It rewards speed over sequencing, activity over clarity, and short-term momentum over long-term portfolio thinking. That leaves capable investors making important decisions without a framework to guide them.
We created Get RARE to offer a different model: independent advice, structured thinking, and better decision-making over time. The aim is not to help clients buy more property for the sake of it. It is to help each client build the portfolio their goals actually need, which sometimes means telling them not to buy this year, and being structurally free to say so.
Four principles that shape every client decision
Strategy before property
We do not begin with listings, stock or urgency. We begin with the client's position, what the portfolio can support, and what the next decision needs to achieve. The method is published in full in our property sequencing guide.
Independence before transactions
We are not paid by developers, builders or project marketers, and we receive no commissions from sales agents. Client fees, fixed and agreed before engagement, are our only income. That is what lets strategy lead rather than inventory.
Long-term outcomes before momentum
Our work is built around sequencing, risk management and portfolio resilience. Sometimes the right move is to buy. Sometimes it is to wait, review or restructure first. More than 70 per cent of our clients continue with us beyond their first acquisition. The model is built for the second decision, not just the first.
Evidence before opinion
We publish our frameworks, our picks and our revisits, including the ones that earn a caution flag, in the insights library, because being measurable beats being safe from measurement.

The people behind the strategy and execution
Rasti Vaibhav
A CFA Charterholder who spent more than 9 years managing institutional portfolios, more than $2 billion in mandates, at Westpac and AMP Capital before applying the same discipline to property. Over more than 15 years of personal investing he has bought 22 properties with his own money, holding a portfolio of about $16.8 million, and he is the author of The Property Wealth Blueprint.
Rupali Rastogi
Rupali leads acquisition governance and execution, ensuring sourcing, negotiation and transaction support stay aligned with each client's broader strategy rather than with deal momentum.
Beyond the leadership team, Get RARE is supported by acquisition specialists, research analysts and transaction coordinators across multiple states. The full team is at getrare.com.au/team, and between the leadership team's own portfolios, the firm's advice is given by people who hold what they recommend.
Between us, the properties we recommend are the kind we have bought with our own money, and the mistakes we warn about are the kind we have paid for ourselves.
Independence is structural, not a marketing claim
We are not paid by developers, builders or project marketers. We receive no commissions from sales agents. We are not incentivised by transaction volume. That matters because it changes the nature of the advice: strategy can lead rather than stock, we can recommend waiting when waiting is right, and we can challenge a purchase that looks appealing on the surface but does not fit the plan.
Get RARE Properties holds real estate licences in NSW, VIC and QLD and buys for clients Australia-wide. We maintain active memberships with the Property Investment Professionals of Australia (PIPA), REINSW, REIV, REIQ and REIA. We are a buyer's agency, not a licensed financial, tax or credit adviser, and we say so on every page where it matters.

Built for investors who value structure over speculation
Get RARE works primarily with time-poor professionals and established families who want to build long-term wealth through property with more structure, less noise and better decision-making. Most clients value strategic thinking over speculation: they want confidence before committing capital, and they want each decision to fit a broader plan rather than stand alone.
They are usually starting or restarting a portfolio, unsure what their next move should be, or ready to act and wanting disciplined execution, the three situations our strategic buyer's agency is built around.
Long-term impact beyond the portfolio
Since 2021, Get RARE has partnered with So They Can, supporting education and community development initiatives in East Africa. It sits naturally alongside how the business thinks about wealth: not only as something to build, but as something that creates wider opportunity and long-term impact. It is a quieter part of the firm, and one we intend to keep.
