Six stages. No mystery.
A buyers advocacy engagement should feel structured, not improvised. Here is exactly what happens, in what order, and what we need from you at each point.
Discovery consultation
A no-obligation conversation about what you are trying to buy, why, and what you can commit. We tell you honestly whether we can add value — and if we cannot, we say so.
Week 0 · complimentaryBuyer brief & strategy
We document the brief in writing: locations, property type, non-negotiables, budget ceiling, and the acquisition strategy. This is the document every later decision is measured against.
Week 1Search & shortlist
On-market, pre-market and off-market. We contact agents across the target area weekly, inspect on your behalf, and bring you a shortlist with reasons — including the ones we ruled out and why.
Weeks 1–4Due diligence
Comparable sales analysis to establish real value, plus coordination of building and pest inspections, strata report review, planning and zoning checks, and flood, bushfire and easement considerations.
Concurrent with shortlistingNegotiation or auction
We set the price strategy, then execute it — negotiating terms and price with the selling agent, or bidding on your behalf at auction so you never have to raise your own hand.
Weeks 4–6Exchange to settlement
We coordinate with your solicitor or conveyancer and broker through exchange, manage the pre-settlement inspection, and stay available until the keys are in your hand.
Exchange to settlementWhat we need from you
- Finance pre-approval, or a broker we can coordinate with
- An honest budget ceiling — the real one, not the comfortable one
- A solicitor or conveyancer engaged and ready to review contracts quickly
- Availability for a second inspection on shortlisted properties, where practical
- Prompt decisions when a property matches the brief — good stock does not wait
What you can expect from us
- A weekly written update, even in weeks where nothing suitable came to market
- Reasons for every recommendation, and every rejection
- A value opinion grounded in comparable sales, not in the agent's price guide
- Direct access to Samantha — not a junior, not a call centre
- An honest recommendation to walk away when that is the right call
