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 of properties
  • Property price appraisal report
  • Property due diligence and reporting
  • Negotiation (or attending the auction as required)
  • Support during the settlement process
  • 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.

Our standard Buyer’s Agency fee sits between $20,000 and $30,000 including GST. We’ll quote your specific fee before you commit to anything — no surprises, nothing open-ended. The fee reflects the complexity of your brief, the market you’re buying in, the level of competition you’re likely to face, and how tightly held your target suburbs are — not how long the search takes or what you end up paying for the property. A $5,000 engagement fee is payable on signing, with the balance payable on exchange.

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: $2,000
  • Property Negotiation: $2,000
  • Success fee: $4,000
  • Total fee if successful: $8,000

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 an initial chat and provide our thoughts on the property, its likely selling range, and to see if it suits your needs and is realistically likely to sell within your budget.

Fill in this form and we’ll be in touch within 24 hours.
