5,000 Property Plans. 5,000 Households Changed

Empower Wealth is celebrating a huge milestone on it’s journey to helping more Australians achieve financial freedom.

The first step to financial freedom is knowing where you’re headed.

That’s why at Empower Wealth, we always start with a Property Portfolio Plan—because your goals, timeline and lifestyle are unique to you.

What does financial freedom look like for you?
What would your life be like if money wasn’t a barrier?

We’ve always said that property investing is not one-size-fits-all. That’s why we’re so proud to celebrate this moment:

We’ve just completed our 5,000th Property Wealth Plan!

This milestone marks more than just a tally. It represents 5,000 personalised plans for 5,000 households—each one a roadmap to financial freedom.

And when you include their partners, children and even future generations… the ripple effect is truly powerful.

“Each plan is a personalised roadmap to help our clients achieve their financial and lifestyle goals—built on real numbers, informed strategies and decades of experience.”
– David Robertson, Head of Property Wealth Planning

With over 900 five-star Google reviews, we’re proud that our clients feel supported, confident and inspired to take action.

Celebrated on The Property Couch

This week, our milestone was celebrated on The Property Couch podcast, where Ben, Bryce and David reflected on the incredible journey behind the 5,000 Property Portfolio Plans.

In the episode, they shared how this foundational planning work has gone on to shape more than just individual lives — it’s influenced the way we educate and empower Australians on a larger scale. In fact, the Property Portfolio Plan was a direct inspiration for our best-selling book The Armchair Guide to Property Investing, and it continues to be a driving force behind our upcoming release, How to Retire on $3,000 a Week.

They also revealed that across all these plans, we’ve now made over 9,400 investment property recommendations — with a combined estimated value of $10.5 billion.

But here’s the most empowering part…

Most Australians only need 2 to 3 investment properties to retire comfortably. The key is having the right plan, built around the right properties, and aligned to your long-term goals.

“When we started the business, we had a mission of, wow, wouldn’t it be, wouldn’t it be amazing if we helped a thousand households do their thing?” Ben shared. “And then obviously that has now expanded where we want to create financial peace for 10,000 households.”

“It’s not just about numbers,” added Dave. “It’s about making sure every household we work with is in a better financial position — that they’re living a lifestyle by design and moving towards true financial freedom.”

The entire Empower Wealth team is beaming with pride — because this milestone isn’t just a reflection of our output, but a celebration of the impact we’re making in people’s lives. Every plan created is a step toward financial clarity, confidence and freedom.

Real Stories, Real Impact

Over the years, we’ve been humbled by the incredible journeys our clients have shared—many of whom started from scratch, unsure where to begin, and are now confidently on their path to wealth and security.

We’ve included a few of these stories below — in their own words — to show what a plan can truly unlock.

We had a fantastic experience with Empower Wealth. The Property Investment Advisor was not only highly professional but also brought a down-to-earth approach with a great sense of humor, making the entire process engaging and enjoyable.

The Mortgage Broker was equally professional, providing expertise and guidance that made us feel confident in our decisions. One of the standout aspects of working with Empower Wealth was their commitment to keeping us informed. The regular updates might seem like a small detail, but they ensured we were never left in the dark, which gave us a real sense of reassurance throughout the journey.

I highly recommend both the Property Investment Advisory and Mortgage Broking teams for their exceptional service. We look forward to working with the tax team in the coming months to navigate our tax requirements with the same level of expertise and professionalism.

The experience with the whole Empower Wealth team has been absolutely amazing! From creating a property plan from the ground up and being walked through the process and what we need to do to achieve our goals, to the incredible level of detail included in that plan, everything is thought of and included.

After we developed our property plan, we worked with the Mortgage Broking team to refinance our investment property mortgage. I couldn’t fault their service either, and the level of communication and updates that were provided throughout the whole process was great.

We felt we knew where things were at the whole time and the whole team were very friendly, prompt and courteous. Overall, the service and product that’s provided is 10/10.

Could not recommend highly enough!

Our Property Investment Adviser was wonderful to work with and really took the time to initially understand our needs. We worked through supporting our family and how we could achieve any of these goals as well as financial growth.

It truly was a very tailored and individualised experience, not a copy paste template. He was considerate and understanding of our time as I’m a shift worker and my partner isn’t, however, he always made the time to be sure we could both be at appointments together.

We are really happy with the outcome of our property portfolio and have a break down of small goals to achieve with a timeline that corresponds. As someone that can have a bit of financial anxiety, I feel a lot less stressed having it all planned out and broken down for me.

Thank You

To our amazing clients — past and present — thank you for trusting us with your dreams.
Whether you’ve just started your journey or you’ve already seen your plan come to life, we’re incredibly grateful to have played a role in your path to financial freedom.

This milestone also belongs to our incredible Property Wealth Planning team, whose dedication, expertise and care go into every single plan we create. Their commitment to helping Australians make confident, strategic decisions is what makes all of this possible.

And of course, to the wider Empower Wealth team — from our Mortgage Broking, Buyers Agent and Financial Planning teams to our Tax Accountants, Client Liaison, Client Support and of course, everyone in the Operation team — thank you for being part of this shared mission.

It’s the collective effort that turns a vision into reality.

Lastly, and most importantly, this moment would not have been possible without our late partner and friend, Michael Pope.

“…it makes me proud and makes all the team proud and no doubt, you know, it’s been a journey and all off the back of the great work Michael Pope done in the early days. He’ll be extremely proud of that number as well. ” says David.

Michael played a pivotal role in shaping the foundation of Empower Wealth, and this milestone is a reflection of the vision, passion and care he brought to the business. We know he’d be incredibly proud — and we’ll always carry forward the legacy he helped build.
