Jason Isherwood has steadily built the most highly sophisticated investment process in the Australian residential property sector.
Jason Isherwood
Founder & CEOOver the past decade, Jason Isherwood has steadily built the most highly sophisticated investment process in the Australian residential property sector.
Jason began his career at prestigious strategy consultancy Bain & Company, where he developed a rigorous, data-driven mindset and results focus. He then joined Pacific Equity Partners (PEP) as an early team member, gaining exposure to institutional investing at what is now Australasia's largest and oldest private equity firm. He also served as a fund manager with a mandate focused on residential property.
This experience afforded Jason a rare combination of strategic insight, operational execution, and institutional investment discipline. And over the past 15 years, he has embedded these principles into every facet of CORE Advisory’s model, building what is widely regarded as the most sophisticated investment process in the Australian residential market.
His advisors are backed by decades of industry expertise, knowledge and experience.
Kabilan Murugananthan
Head of PartnershipsKabilan leads CORE’s national partnerships strategy, working with financial advisers, accountants, and other professionals to deliver expert, research-driven property advice to their clients. He spent over a decade at Perpetual Private, with the vast majority of that time focused on supporting high-net-worth individuals and families.
During his several years as a Private Client Adviser, he saw firsthand that residential property - often a client’s largest asset - was frequently underserved in traditional financial advice. Drawn to CORE’s analytical, advice-led model, Kabilan is passionate about bridging the gap between financial strategy and smart property decisions.

The Art of Advocacy
A STRATEGIC APPROACHAt CORE, ‘Advocacy’ is not a label - it’s an ethos and a discipline. In an industry where the term “Advocate” is often used loosely, we hold ourselves to its highest and most authentic meaning: to act wholly and without compromise in the best interests of our client.
Whether we’re guiding a private client through an acquisition, managing the sale of a significant asset, or overseeing a complex property portfolio, we are acting as agents, yes, but more importantly, as advocates. We are not intermediaries. We are not facilitators. We are strategic partners, acting with precision, purpose, and full accountability to the people we represent.
This philosophy informs every aspect of what we do. It’s why we hire only the most experienced and trusted professionals in the industry and operate. It’s why our property selection and acquisition process is governed by institutional-grade risk management and an internal investment committee review. And ultimately, it’s why our clients and their advisers trust us to protect their interests with discretion, discipline, and deep strategic alignment.
In a sector too often clouded by sales incentives and superficial advice, CORE represents a different model: one rooted in rigour, alignment, and enduring trust. This is the most pure and effective form of advocacy in the Australian residential market—and we’re proud to lead it.

Investment Philosophy
We bring the rigour of private equity and strategic consulting to generate systematic alpha in Australia’s most inefficient asset class.
CORE applies an institutional-grade investment philosophy to direct residential real estate—a market long dominated by emotion, misinformation, and amateur execution.
Our focus is long-term value creation, not speculation. We target high risk-adjusted returns by acquiring quality, established (never new or off-the-plan) land-backed assets within ~15km of major CBD areas with strong fundamentals, constrained supply, and durable demand. All advice is guided by a fixed set of investment filters, ensuring consistency, discipline, and alignment with each client’s objectives.
By acquiring below intrinsic value and managing risk tightly, we unlock outsized returns while preserving flexibility. The result: strategy-led outcomes, not guesswork.
Proudly delivering consistent outperformance to a select clientele.
CORE applies a structured, multi-layered risk management framework designed to protect clients and support adviser confidence across every stage of the property acquisition process. CORE’s 20 highly experienced staff represent over 300 years’ combined residential property research which makes CORE the most concentrated source of high quality independent investment analysis and transactional experience in Australia.
With 15 years of accumulated and documented experience and process across thousands of transactions. Our senior team brings decades of collective experience. All recommendations are challenged internally to reduce bias and surface potential risks before client presentation.
