Your portfolio. Built for the whole world.
Most property advisors show you a brochure and ask for a deposit. Investors end up holding one or two properties in a single market, exposed to one cycle, wondering why the portfolio is not moving.
GRIT starts with you. Your position, your timeline, your borrowing capacity. Whether you earn offshore, hold equity at home, buy in from overseas or hold property in an SMSF, the strategy comes first and the properties come after.
We don't sell properties.
We build portfolios.
One Strategy. Three Markets.
Australia for stability. Dubai for access. The USA for cashflow. Your strategist sets the mix around your position, not around inventory.
Australia
The foundation of most portfolios we build. House-and-land, researched suburb by suburb and chosen on evidence rather than on whatever is available to sell. GRIT was founded here.
Dubai
Freehold ownership is available to foreigners in designated zones and titles are registered with the Dubai Land Department. Our own team is on the ground there.
The United States
Australia builds the base and Dubai adds access. The USA is where a portfolio earns its income. Established and multi-family property in selected markets, managed locally rather than at a distance.
Buying into Australia from abroad? Our Melbourne team is licensed and on the ground here.
Real estate licensed in all three markets we recommend.
Skin In Every Market
He won't recommend a market he hasn't entered himself.

The GRIT Foundation: $2,000 from every transaction builds homes for families in need.

4.8130+ Google reviewsOver the last four years I've had the pleasure of working with Navin and GRIT. Being outside of Australia, I've especially appreciated how approachable they've been at every step.
He guided us through every step, from finding the land to building our investment property. He made what could have been overwhelming feel smooth and manageable.
They demonstrated a deep understanding of the market and handled every challenge with professionalism and creativity. I would recommend them without hesitation.

Your Questions
Is Dubai property safe for Australian investors?
Freehold ownership is available to foreigners in designated zones, titles are registered with the Dubai Land Department, and the legal framework is transparent. Our Dubai team works exclusively with RERA-registered developers and handles due diligence on every opportunity we present.
Do I need to travel to invest in Dubai or the USA?
No. Many GRIT clients have purchased entirely remotely. Our local teams manage site visits, developer meetings, legal documentation and settlement on your behalf.
Can I invest if I already have a mortgage?
Many of our best clients started exactly there. In your session we model borrowing capacity, calculate accessible equity, and show how to use it as a deposit without touching day-to-day cash.
I'm based outside Australia. Can GRIT still help?
Yes. A significant share of our clients are based in Dubai, the US and Asia. The whole process runs remotely, and our research and client support teams cover multiple time zones.
What happens after the session?
You receive your written strategy report. If you choose to proceed, we introduce curated opportunities matched to that plan, and every GRIT member gets an annual portfolio review for life.
How long from session to owning a property?
It varies by market. Australian house-and-land typically runs 12-18 months to settlement, Dubai off-plan 6-24 months depending on the developer, and established US property can move in 30-60 days.
