Question 1

How much does a buyers agent cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing is tailored to your situation, including the property type, price range, and scope of service. On average, our clients save between $25,000 and $60,000 on their purchase price, which typically more than covers our fee. For investor clients, the fee includes a dedicated strategy session, lifetime GamePlans access, and a 12 month review. Talk to our team to get a tailored price.

Question 2

Is a buyers agent worth the fee?

Accepted Answer

On average, our clients save between $25,000 and $60,000 compared to what they would have paid negotiating on their own. Beyond the financial savings, we save you 100+ hours of research, inspections, and negotiations. In most cases, our fee pays for itself through a better purchase price.

Question 3

What does a buyers agent actually do?

Accepted Answer

We act as your representative throughout the entire purchase process. This includes identifying suitable properties (including off market opportunities), conducting research and due diligence, arranging building and pest inspections, analysing comparable sales, negotiating the purchase price, and managing the process through to settlement.

Question 4

What is the difference between a buyers agent and a selling agent?

Accepted Answer

A selling agent works for the vendor and is paid to achieve the highest possible price. A buyers agent works exclusively for you, the buyer. We negotiate on your behalf to get the lowest price and best terms. We never receive commissions from vendors or developers.

Question 5

How long is the engagement?

Accepted Answer

Our standard engagement is 3 months. Buying the right property takes time, research, and patience. We are buying your home or investment, not a cup of coffee. On average, our acquisition team secures a property within 17 days, but we allow 3 months so we never rush you into the wrong decision.

Question 6

Do you help at auctions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We provide auction bidding services for clients who want professional representation at auction. Our team attends auctions regularly across SEQ and understands bidding strategy, reserve pricing, and how to manage the process to your advantage.

Question 7

What are off market properties?

Accepted Answer

Off market properties are sold without being publicly advertised on portals like realestate.com.au or Domain. They are typically sold through agent networks, private sales, or pre market channels. Our team has built relationships with selling agents across SEQ over many years, giving us access to properties before they hit the open market.

Question 8

Can you help with investment properties?

Accepted Answer

Investment property acquisition is one of our core services. We identify high performing suburbs using rental yield data, vacancy rates, infrastructure spending, population growth, and historical capital growth trends.

Question 9

What is GamePlans and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

GamePlans is a property investment strategy platform we use to build personalised 30 year roadmaps for every investor client. It models multiple scenarios side by side, tracks your equity position across your portfolio, and shows you exactly when you can afford to purchase your next property. Our clients can sign up for free through our partnership and access their roadmap at any time.

Question 10

Do you work with SMSF purchases?

Accepted Answer
