FAQS

The questions most sellers ask us before they commit.

Is your commission really fixed at 1.65%?

Yes, we think you should know what you're paying before the campaign starts. Variable commissions can create incentives that don't always align with getting you the best result. Ours is straightforward.

How do you determine the asking price?

We look at recent comparable sales, current market conditions and the specific features of your property. We'll walk you through our reasoning at the appraisal so you have a clear understanding of where the number comes from.

Does a boutique agency mean my property gets less exposure?

Not at all. In fact, it often means the opposite. We utilise the exact same high-impact digital marketing platforms, professional photography and premium listing portals as major corporate franchises. The key difference is that because we cap our listing numbers, your property receives our undivided attention and a highly tailored campaign, rather than getting lost in a queue.

Will I be dealing with the same agent throughout the entire sale?

Yes, absolutely. The experienced professional who appraises your property and designs your strategy is the exact same person who will conduct your open homes, speak with your buyers and negotiate the final contract.

What exactly does a buyer's agent do?

While a traditional real estate agent works exclusively for the seller to get the highest price, a buyer's agent works exclusively for you. We handle the entire process: searching for properties, assessing their true market value, arranging inspections, conducting due diligence, and negotiating the final price to ensure you buy safely and successfully.

How do you access off-market properties?

Through relationships built over years in the industry. Many vendors prefer a quiet sale before going public, and agents bring those opportunities to buyer's agents they trust before listing anywhere else.

Why do you charge a fixed fee instead of a percentage?

We believe percentage-based fees create a massive conflict of interest. If a buyer's agent charges a percentage of the purchase price, they actually make more money when you pay more for a home. Our fixed-fee structure means we are solely motivated to find the perfect property, no matter what the final price tag is.

Can you help me if I’m a first-time home buyer?

Absolutely. Buying your first home is incredibly exciting, but it’s also easy to get overwhelmed by market noise and emotional pressure. We walk beside you every step of the way, making sure you understand the process, don't overpay, and buy a home that will set you up securely for the future.

What if you can't find the right property?

We'd rather keep searching than push you into something that doesn't fit. The brief we agree on at the start guides every decision, and we'll tell you honestly if the market isn't delivering what you're looking for right now.
