Every successful search starts with a conversation. We offer a free initial consultation (over the phone, via Zoom, or in person if you’re local) to understand your needs and explain how we can help…
This is a friendly chat where we discuss what you’re looking for – your ideal property, budget, must-haves, deal-breakers, and timeline. We’ll also answer any questions you have about our services or the Brisbane market. By the end of this consultation, you’ll have a clear idea of how we work, and we’ll have a solid grasp of your goals. If you’re ready to proceed, we formalise our engagement with some simple paperwork.
(Note: Our standard engagement period is 6 months, which means we’ll be your committed partner for up to half a year – and extend further if needed – ensuring you have ample time to find the right property without pressure.)
Once the agreement is signed (and a modest retainer fee is paid, if applicable), we move full steam ahead.
Now the exciting part begins. We create a detailed Buyer’s Brief based on your criteria, and then we scour the market to find properties that fit. This isn’t just a realestate.com.au search though of course…
we monitor all the major listings. We also tap into our extensive insider network across Brisbane, reaching out to agents and contacts, and leveraging our proprietary database of owners and past opportunities. Because we’ve been active in Brisbane real estate for so long, we often hear about off-market or upcoming listings that aren’t advertised publicly. (You’d be surprised how many great properties trade quietly!) We leave no stone unturned: every suburb, every listing, every lead – we’re on it.
As we identify promising properties, we vet them against your brief. This includes checking sale histories, analysing recent comparable sales, and even considering factors like flood zones, zoning changes, or upcoming infrastructure that could affect value. We also physically inspect properties on your behalf. We attend open houses or private inspections – armed with our experienced eyes – to evaluate condition and suitability. We’ll take photos and videos and note any issues (big or small) that you’d want to know about. By doing this filtering for you, we save you from wasting time on duds.
After thorough searching, we’ll come back to you with a shortlist of the very best options we’ve found. Typically, we might narrow it down to, say, 3–5 properties (or as many as meet your criteria, if we have several…
great hits). We will walk you through each option, explaining the pros and cons candidly. We believe in total honesty – if a house has a noisy road nearby or a unit has high body corporate fees, you’ll hear it from us. Our job is to arm you with all the information, good and bad.
If you’re local to Brisbane, we’ll schedule times to inspect these shortlisted properties together so you can see them in person. Don’t worry, we’ll organise all the appointments at your convenience. If you’re interstate or overseas, we’ve got you covered: we’ll provide detailed reports, pictures, and even live video walkthroughs or recorded tours of each property. It’ll feel almost like you’re there. We’ll discuss how each property measures up to your needs and answer any questions you have. The goal here is to empower you to make an informed decision on which property (or properties) you’d like to pursue seriously.
Here’s where our expertise can truly save you time and money. With inspections done and confidence that “this is the one,” we devise a negotiation strategy tailored to the situation…
If it’s a private treaty sale (normal listing), we’ll often start by indicating interest to the selling agent and perhaps making an initial conditional offer. We handle all communications, so you don’t have to deal with any selling agent tactics or pressure – we become your buffer and voice.
We’ll negotiate assertively on price, aiming to secure the property for the lowest possible figure that the seller will accept. Because we’ve done our homework on value and we negotiate deals day in, day out, we know how far we can push. We also negotiate terms: for example, we might secure a longer settlement if you need more time or include favourable conditions (like the sale being subject to finance approval or satisfactory inspections) to protect you. Everything is done with your best interest in mind.
If the property is going to auction, our preparation in Step 4 will have set your maximum bid. We will represent you at the auction (as described in our Auction service) – bidding confidently and strategically for you. Many selling agents actually prefer when a buyer’s agent is involved at this stage because they know they’re dealing with professionals, which can sometimes lead to smoother negotiations. But rest assured, our only goal is to get you the property at the best possible price. We’ll keep you informed at each offer or each bid, so you’re never in the dark.
Should the negotiation get tricky – say, there are multiple buyers interested or counter-offers flying about – we’ll advise you on the best course (for instance, when to increase your offer or when to hold firm, or when to walk away if the price goes beyond fair value). Our experience means we won’t let you get caught up in the emotion. If we can clinch the deal within your budget, we’ll get a signed contract in place and move to the final step!
Once you’ve identified a property that you’re keen on and we secure a conditional contract (perhaps your top choice from the shortlist), we move into due diligence mode. This is where we dig deeper and verify that the …
property is sound and worth its price. Key steps can include:
By the end of due diligence, you’ll have a clear thumbs-up that the property is a sound choice (or we might decide it’s not and go back to the search, which is totally okay – better to walk away than buy wrong!). We leave nothing to chance here.
Congratulations – your offer was accepted or you won at auction! But our job isn’t over yet. There are still important steps to navigate between signing the contract and getting those keys, and we’ll manage…
them for you so nothing falls through the cracks.
We’ll coordinate with your solicitor/conveyancer and lender (if you have one) to make sure all contract conditions are met on time. For example, if the contract is subject to finance, we’ll check that your finance approval comes through by the due date, and if subject to a building inspection, we’ll help address any issues that inspection raised before that deadline. We keep a timeline of all critical dates (cooling-off period, finance date, settlement date, etc.) and keep everyone accountable.
In this phase, we also assist with any final negotiations. Perhaps the building inspection found a minor issue – we might negotiate a small reduction or have the seller fix it before settlement. We ensure you’re getting what you paid for.
As settlement day approaches, we’ll arrange a pre-settlement inspection (the final walk-through) to double-check the property’s condition and that any agreed repairs have been made, etc. If you’re not in Brisbane, we’ll do this on your behalf, of course, and report back (with plenty of photos/video).
On settlement day itself, we coordinate behind the scenes with the solicitor and agent. Once settlement is confirmed, we’re delighted to hand over the keys to you! This is the moment we all worked toward. But even after settlement, we’re here for you: need advice on finding a tenant or a property manager if it’s an investment? Looking for a reliable tradesperson for a renovation? Just give us a shout. We want you to settle in happily.
