Buyer's Agent Fees

Buying property in Sydney is competitive, complex, and high stakes. We offer two services to help — a complete Buyer’s Agency service for those who want a dedicated professional working on their behalf from day one, and an Evaluate and Negotiate service for buyers who have found a property and want expert help from there.

Buyer’s Agent Service

This service is suitable for people who are after a complete ‘done for you’ property buyer’s agency service.

The Buyer’s Agent service includes:

  • A tailored property search including on-market, off-market and pre-market properties
  • Access to a client portal
  • Inspecting and shortlisting properties
  • Property price appraisal report
  • Property due diligence, including detailed strata analysis for apartments and units
  • Negotiation, or bidding at auction on your behalf
  • Support during settlement
  • A pre-settlement inspection

We’re committed to finding and securing the right property for you, however many properties that takes. Our standard agreement runs for six months and you can end it with 30 days’ notice and no exit fee.

All fees include GST.

Apartment & Strata Property Acquisition

Tailored for apartment, unit, townhouse and other strata property searches.

Engagement fee: $5,000

Acquisition fee: $15,000  – $20,000 (payable on unconditional exchange of contracts)

Total fee: $20,000 – $25,000

 

House Acquisition

Tailored for Torrens title properties, including semi-detached, terrace and freestanding homes.

Engagement fee: $5,000

Acquisition fee: $20,000  – $30,000 (payable on unconditional exchange of contracts)

Total fee: $25,000 – $35,000

Your fee is set within the range based on your brief’s scope and complexity, then fixed and agreed in writing before we start.

Evaluate and Negotiate Service

Our Evaluate and Negotiate service is designed for buyers who have found a property they like and want a professional to assess it properly and negotiate the purchase.

We break the service into two stages — Evaluation and Negotiation — so you only commit to what makes sense at each step. Sometimes the most valuable thing we do is tell you not to buy a property. If our due diligence uncovers something serious, there’s no obligation to continue — and nothing further to pay.

The Evaluation Stage includes:

  • Physical inspection of the property
  • Property price appraisal
  • Property due diligence and reporting

The Negotiation Stage includes:

  • A tailored negotiation strategy built on the findings of the evaluation
  • Negotiation on your behalf – private treaty or auction as required
  • Support during the settlement process
  • Pre-settlement inspection

Fees (all inclusive of GST):

  • Property Evaluation: $1,500
  • Property Negotiation: $1,500
  • Success fee: $7,000
  • Total fee if successful: $10,000

Fees apply to a single property.

The Evaluate and Negotiate service can be upgraded to the Buyer’s Agency service. Where eligible, fees already paid are credited toward the engagement fee.

If you’ve found a property you’re interested in, we encourage you to reach out as soon as possible. We’re happy to have a quick chat to see whether the property and your budget are a good fit

We make a difference

It was not our first time buying a property but this previous experience did not assist us in any way in the current climate and after many many weeks and months of one bad experience after another trying to buy... read more
