Flat-Fee Pricing: Buying in Brisbane charges a fixed professional fee for our services, rather than a percentage of the property price. This means you’ll know from the outset exactly what using a buyer’s agent will cost you, and it won’t increase just because you choose a more expensive property. We typically tailor the fee based on the complexity of your brief and the level of service you need (full search vs. negotiation-only, for example), but it is agreed upon upfront and documented clearly. We find this flat-fee model to be the fairest approach – our only incentive is to get you the right property and the best possible price, not to encourage a higher purchase price for a bigger commission (a percentage-based model could unintentionally do that).
Our fee is usually split into two parts: a small engagement fee when you appoint us (to cover initial costs and show mutual commitment), and the balance only payable upon successful purchase. In other words, the bulk of our fee is a success fee – if for some reason you don’t end up buying, you do not pay that portion. We structure it this way because we’re confident in our ability to deliver, and we want our goals aligned with yours: if you don’t succeed, we don’t succeed.
No Surprises, No Hidden Costs: There are no additional “service” charges, monthly retainers, or other sneaky fees. The agreed fee covers the entirety of our buyer’s agent service. (External costs like building inspections or solicitor fees are separate and paid directly to those providers – we’ll always advise you of those when recommending third-party services.) If at any point you’re unsure about how something is charged, just ask – we’re all about clarity and honesty.
Unmatched Value – What You Get
When you hire Buying in Brisbane, you’re investing in an outcome: a smooth purchase at a great price. Consider what our fee includes:
Aligned with Your Best Interests
Our no-commission policy is firm: we do not receive commissions from sellers, developers, or anyone else. This is an important principle for us because it ensures our sole loyalty is to you, the buyer. Some traditional arrangements in the industry see buyer’s agents taking referral fees for recommending certain properties or services – we refuse to do that. We want you to have absolute confidence that every piece of advice we give is free of any conflict of interest.
We also stand by the quality of our service. While it’s rarely, if ever, needed, we’re reasonable about cancellations. If you need to withdraw from the search or are unsatisfied, we won’t trap you in a contract – our engagements allow for notice and amicable parting if things aren’t working out. We’d rather part as friends than force a partnership that isn’t beneficial. (We’re proud to say that hasn’t happened yet – but we put this in place for your peace of mind.)
You’re probably wondering by now, “Okay, so how much is the fee exactly?” Since every client’s needs differ, we prefer to discuss it with you and provide a personalised quote. Factors like the type of service (full search vs. negotiation-only), the general price range of properties you’re targeting, and any special complexity (e.g., commercial property, development site search, etc.) can influence the fee. What we can promise is that our fees are competitive in the Brisbane market for buyer’s agents, and given the boutique level of service we provide, it’s fantastic value.
For a general idea: our full-service Complete Search, Purchase & Settlement engagements often range in the low five-figures (flat fee), depending on scope – keeping in mind this often equates to a small percentage of the property price (and often we save much more than that in the purchase). Our Negotiation-Only or Auction services are priced lower, since the workload and time commitment are less. We can also offer package deals if, say, you want us to bid on multiple auctions, or you start with one service and upgrade to another.
We’ll walk you through the fee in our initial consultation once we know what you need. No pressure at all – you’ll have time to consider and compare. We’re confident once you see what we bring to the table, you’ll view the fee as a smart investment toward a better buying outcome.
Investing in Success
To wrap up: hiring a buyer’s agent might seem like an added expense, but our clients will tell you it’s an investment in success. By spending a transparent fee on our service, you stand to save money on the purchase price, avoid costly mistakes, and gain priceless peace of mind. And if we don’t perform, we don’t get paid the success fee – so we’re highly motivated to get you a fantastic result.
If you have any questions about our fees or want to get a quote tailored to your situation, just ask! We’re here to make everything about this process – including the financial side – clear and comfortable for you.

Unmatched Value – What You Get
When you hire Buying in Brisbane, you’re investing in an outcome: a smooth purchase at a great price. Consider what our fee includes:
Think of it this way: our fee is tiny compared to the value we aim to secure for you. For example, imagine avoiding a bidding war and saving $20,000 on the purchase price, or not overpaying by $50,000 because we knew the true market value. These scenarios alone justify the cost. Add the intangible benefits – hundreds of hours of your time saved, massive reduction in stress, and the confidence of making a wise investment – and our clients overwhelmingly say our service pays for itself many times over. In fact, many tell us they wouldn’t buy another property without using us again.
