This is a review of Zaki Ameer and his Dream Design Property company based in Australia. There seems to be some complaints online due to their real estate mentoring services, so I’ll give you the lowdown.
I started this blog as an Australian many years ago. It’s been created as an independent voice, so that consumers can get the real facts. That is, without the sugar coating, but also, without the negativity too. I’m an optimist, but I can smell BS too.
As a fellow property investor, I’ve found the returns to be quite low. So from this, I’ve decided to find a better way to generate a better return on my investments. And I found it! In fact, I’ve helped thousands of Australians move forward, with a free training course available. But more on that later.
Thoughts on Zaki Ameer
I’ve known of Zaki for quite a few years. In fact, I was following Nathan Birch for a couple of years before he became internet famous. Back when he had just a few properties. Those were the days.
Zaki was quite a legitimate person. He had built a strong following, with many praising his services in the real estate and property investing sector. Plus, before this, he also found some solid results. He comes in with the ‘migrant mentality’ and that go-getter really shines through in what he offers.
After some time, however, Zaki Ameer has been hit with some negative press. There are dozens of people who were owed money, with some receiving nothing back. I’m not a fan at all of journalism from A Current Affair, but the particular episode featuring Zaki certainly made me sit up in my chair.
Dream Design Property Review
Previously known as Dream Design Do, this is a property mentoring and long term strategic consultancy based in Sydney. Dream Design Property has now had thousands of clients through its doors, with the majority leaving 5 star reviews. But also, some complaints as well.
Here’s what I liked, after researching:
- They really do set you up for the long term (
20 year vision and beyond) - There’s a unique strategy for you and your individual family goals
- You get hassled if you choose not to go forward (But will you get a refund?)
- There’s a solid positive mention from David Kochie on DDP services
- Massive amount of features in the mainstream & property media
- They’ll give you some free property advice over the phone right now
- There happens to be a lot of free education that they provide
Then again, there needs to be some negativity. These include:
- You’ll often be asked to pay a high upfront amount for coaching
- Dozens of people are owed thousands of dollars (Though Zaki has refunded quite a lot which is great to see)
- The fees can be a little high due to their inherent business expenses
- The cash flow of $50 to $70 a week isn’t retirement income (I know a better way!)
We can see a lot of positive press:
But we can see a lot of negative press too:
Then you’ve got Product Review ratings: https://www.productreview.com.au/listings/dream-design-property?sortBy=ratingLowest#questions
There are also comments on the Whirlpool Forum, but these are to be taken with a grain of salt. No one uses their real information there, unlike Facebook.
It seems that very few, if any, of these concerns are being addressed by Zaki or his team. When a business has a large volume of customers, you will expect some complaints. But this to me is a little too many.
Plus – if customers ask for a refund, you simply process it. I sell on Amazon and process dozens of refunds per week, despite my product(s) being just about perfect.
Certainly some real room for improvement here. Whilst at the same time, it’s good to see the majority of people having good experiences too.
On the flip side of the coin, his ex-fiance may have caused some greater negativity in his direction. See here: www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7025569/amp/Nour-Issa-Celebrity-investor-Zaki-Ameer-hits-ex-fiancee-AVO-intercom-buzzing-claims.html
But at the end of the day, who knows the real story? I believe it’s up to the individual to make the right decision for themselves.
Building digital assets
I prefer digital assets. I’ve found this to be a place whereby I can find greater cash flow as opposed to the Australian property market, which right now is in decline with very little consumer confidence. Right now is a good time to re-evaluate your strategy.
Thousands of property investors in Australia have woken to this fact. Dream Design Do’s strategy is good, but the income is minimal at the end of the day. It’s hard to break-free from your job in 2 to 3 years, and most would love to do. Luckily, I found a better way!
I’ve inspired thousands of people to get started on a new journey. It’s simple, and can be explained within this 100% FREE online training course. It’s beginner-friendly, with thousands of Australian and Kiwis already on board. You’ll just need your email address to access the 4 modules, and your email is safe. Promise.
Closing thoughts
Here’s what you should know: Dream Design Do is a good company, but must improve its reputation.
There are a now dozens of complaints, and as a percentage, way more than a property mentoring company should have. A company operating at this scale is going to run into some minor issues along the way. It’s just about impossible to run at a 100% client satisfaction rate.
Would I recommend Zaki? I think you should make that decision yourself based on the information provided. There are hundreds of happy people, but dozens of unhappy people too.
While Dream Design has had some bad press in the past, they appear committed to make things right and continue to help clients across Australia.
