You’ve found a property you love — now you need to know:
What represents an ideal acquisition price?
What are the risks?
What is the right negotiation strategy?
Selling agents represent the vendor. We represent you. Disciplined, data-driven and calm — exactly what’s needed when emotions are high and stakes are significant.
How it works: you identify the property you want to call home, we’ll do the rest! Includes where appropriate: assisting you to become “purchase-ready” (our essential first step), a review of building and pest / strata reports, research and data analysis, all communication with the sales agent on your behalf, property inspection, property appraisal, compiling a comprehensive property report including comparable sales data, creating a negotiation strategy for purchase and negotiating the purchase on your behalf.
