In a fast-paced market, how can I compete with other buyers?
We give you a strategic advantage by providing early access to opportunities, including off-market and pre-market listings where available. Our team guides your search and strategy so you can act confidently.

I'm new to the market. How can I avoid mistakes?
We guide you through each step—from defining your requirements to inspecting properties—so you can make informed and considered decisions, rather than reacting under pressure.
I live interstate. Can you help me buy in Sydney?

Do first home buyers need a buyers agent?
Whether you use a buyers agent is a personal decision. Some people look for a "buyers agent for first home buyers" or a "first home buyer property agent" when they want extra property buying help for their first home—particularly with suburb research, inspections and negotiation. Others prefer to do the search themselves and rely mainly on their solicitor, mortgage broker and accountant. If you are considering an independent buyers agent for first home buyers, it can help to ask how their service would (and would not) support your brief, and to discuss any proposal with your own legal and financial advisers.

How much deposit do I generally need as a first home buyer?
Deposit requirements vary depending on the lender and your financial position. Some buyers aim for a higher deposit to reduce lending risk, while others explore options that may require a smaller upfront contribution. Your mortgage broker or lender can provide guidance specific to your situation.
What additional costs should I expect beyond the purchase price?

What is the difference between buying at auction and private treaty?
At auction, contracts are usually unconditional and settlement periods are fixed once the hammer falls. Private treaty sales typically allow for negotiation and conditional offers. Each method has different preparation requirements and risk considerations.
How long does the buying process usually take?
Timeframes vary based on market conditions, finance approval, and individual circumstances. Some purchases occur quickly, while others may take several months of searching, assessment and negotiation.
