When you retain our services, we are only financially compensated by you and no one else. To maintain our independence, we absolutely do NOT accept any commissions from sellers or other service providers. Any recommendation for third party service providers we make to our clients are done purely in their best interest.
There are two basic fees for our Full-Search and Negotiation services.
- A non-refundable upfront retainer. This fee is paid upon signing of the Agency Agreement regardless of whether a property is ultimately purchased.
- A buying fee / success fee. This is only paid when contracts are exchanged for the purchase of a property.
Our standard fees cover search in 3 adjacent suburbs.
