Ripehouse Advisory exists because the property industry had a problem: too much noise, too little accountability, and no real system for helping everyday Australians build a future.
Our story
We set out to fix the parts of property investing that kept letting people down.
Ripehouse was born from years spent inside the industry — seeing the same mistakes repeat, the same shortcuts sold as strategy, and the same investors left to make life-changing decisions with half the picture.
So we built a different way: research first, advice without the sales pitch, and a team that stays with you beyond the purchase.
The founders
Two distinct perspectives. One shared belief: property should create more choices for your life, not become your life.
Chief Executive Officer
Jacob exited the 9–5 through property investment at 32. With a background in software engineering and a deep understanding of how data can change a decision, he founded Ripehouse Advisory in 2011.
His focus is simple: turn an overwhelming market into a system people can actually use — one that helps investors avoid expensive mistakes and build with intention.

Chief Operations Officer
Anna brings more than a decade of experience in property research, communications and personal investment. As former Managing Editor at Australian Property Investor Magazine, she knows the difference between a headline and an insight.
She makes sure the thinking becomes useful — clear guidance, honest context and an experience that treats every client's goals as genuinely personal.

“The right property is not the goal.
The life it makes possible is.”
— Jacob Field & Anna Cooper
The work behind the advice
Since 2015, our research process has evaluated more than 15,000 Australian suburbs across 27 core metrics. We look at the details broad market averages miss: supply, demand, infrastructure, liveability, flood risk, block slope, overlays and the signals that shape a street's future.
It is deliberately demanding. Quality over quantity. Evidence before excitement. A shortlist only earns its place when it can stand up to scrutiny.
