Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Buyer’s Agent?

A Buyer’s Agent, also known as a Buyer’s Advocate, is a licensed professional who represents property buyers. Unlike selling agents who act for sellers, Buyer’s Agents work exclusively for buyers, assisting with property searches, evaluations, and negotiations to secure the best possible deal.

Yes, we have a trusted network of preferred contacts, including brokers, conveyancers, and property managers, who are experts in their fields. We’ve spent significant time researching and building relationships with these professionals to ensure a seamless experience for our clients. However, if you already have your own broker or other professionals, we are happy to work with them as long as your finance is pre-approved. From there, we’ll commence with a discovery call to align on your goals and develop a tailored strategy.

Can You Help Me Buy a Property Under SMSF?

Yes, we specialise in purchasing properties through Self-Managed Super Funds (SMSF) for our clients.
