Leadership Team

A Structured Strategic Buyer's Agency

Get RARE Properties was built differently.
Not as a transactional buyer's agency.
Not as a volume-driven acquisition firm.
But as a structured, strategy-led partnership grounded in capital discipline and long-term portfolio sequencing.

Our leadership integrates institutional portfolio construction, structured acquisition governance, and independent decision-making, ensuring property decisions strengthen long-term capital positioning rather than create unintended risk.

Why Leadership + Teams Matter

Strategy without execution is theory. Rasti leads our strategy team, portfolio analysts and research specialists who determine whether buying makes sense and what comes next.

Execution without strategy is guesswork. Rupali leads our acquisition team, specialists across four states who source properties, negotiate, and manage transactions.

Every client gets both an integrated strategy and disciplined execution, with personal leadership involvement throughout.

You work directly with Rasti and Rupali, not handed off to junior staff, but supported by entire teams across NSW, VIC, QLD, and SA.

How Strategy + Execution Work Together

Rasti's Role (Strategy)

Understanding your current position, risk capacity, and sequencing logic, before selecting property. Sometimes the answer is to wait. Sometimes it's to restructure. Sometimes it's to buy. Strategy determines which.

Rupali's Role (Execution)

When the time is right, we handle sourcing, due diligence, and negotiation without developer ties, stock incentives, or volume targets. Independence means we can say no to opportunities that don't fit.

Continuous collaboration: Rasti and Rupali don't hand off; they work together throughout every client engagement.

If execution reveals a better opportunity, strategy adjusts.
If strategy changes, execution adapts.
This is integrated thinking, not siloed expertise.

Our National Team Structure

Behind the leadership team operates a structured, multi-disciplinary team supporting clients across NSW, Victoria, Queensland, and South Australia.

Strategy Team (Led by Rasti):

Portfolio Analysts: Assessing current position, buffer strength, sequencing readiness

Research Specialists: Market analysis, comparative data, suburb research
Risk Assessment Coordinators: Stress testing, scenario planning, capital protection

Acquisition & Execution Team (Led by Rupali):

Acquisition Specialists: Sourcing, agent relationships, off-market opportunities (NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA)
Transaction Coordinators: Contract management, settlement coordination, multi-party liaison
Due Diligence Coordinators: Building inspections, strata reviews, title searches

How The Framework Operates:

1. Portfolio-Aligned Opportunity Assessment

Properties are evaluated against portfolio objectives, not just individual metrics. Does this strengthen the overall position?

2. Independent Valuation & Comparative Analysis

Every shortlisted property undergoes independent comparative market analysis. No reliance on agent opinions.

3. Structured Negotiation Sequencing

Negotiation follows tested frameworks: understanding seller motivation, market positioning, and optimal timing.

4. Multi-Party Transaction Coordination

Seamless coordination between solicitors, brokers, building inspectors, strata managers, and all other parties.

5. Post-Acquisition Review & Positioning

After settlement, we review execution quality and position the asset within the broader portfolio context.

Portfolio-Level Evaluation

Every decision is evaluated at portfolio level. No property is assessed in isolation.

We don't ask: "Is this a good property?"
We ask:

How does this property affect portfolio balance?
Does this strengthen or weaken our risk position?
What does this decision enable or prevent next?
Does this align with long-term capital sequencing?

Individual properties can be excellent, but wrong for YOUR portfolio at THIS time. This is the difference between property-level and portfolio-level thinking.

Independence & Professional Standards

Get RARE operates as an independent buyer's agency.

What independence means:
❌ We are not paid by developers
❌ We do not promote stock
❌ We are not incentivised by transaction volume
✅ We recommend based on portfolio fit, not inventory pressure
✅ We can advise waiting when that's the right strategic move
✅ We walk away from opportunities that don't align with client objectives

Our Operating Philosophy

We believe:

Sequencing matters more than speed

The order of property acquisitions affects long-term outcomes more than acquisition pace. Patient, deliberate progression beats rushed accumulation.

Capital protection precedes expansion

Buffers, cash flow resilience, and risk management must remain strong before adding complexity. Growth without protection creates fragility.

Independence safeguards decision quality

When strategy can lead without inventory pressure or volume targets, advice improves. We're structured to say "wait" when that's right.

Structure reduces long-term regret

Frameworks, discipline, and portfolio-level thinking prevent reactive decisions that create stress years later.

Property Investing Is a Long-Term Capital Allocation Exercise

Every decision you make today affects what you can do tomorrow.
Every property you acquire changes your risk profile, cash flow position, borrowing capacity, and future flexibility.

This is why strategy must lead execution.
This is why portfolio thinking matters.
This is why we integrate strategy and acquisition teams.
