Frequently Asked Questions
We act exclusively for buyers in the acquisition of property.
Our role is to:
• Source opportunities (on-market, pre-market, and off-market).
• Assess true market value and risk.
• Design and execute negotiation strategy.
• Secure property under the right terms.
We do not sell property, list property, or act for sellers in any capacity.
We are buyer-only property advisors. While the industry often uses the term “buyer’s agent”, our work is closer to:
• Strategic advisory.
• Negotiation leadership.
• Buyer advocacy.
We focus on outcomes and leverage, not inspections or volume.
Yes, but not everything we secure is off-market. Our background in property development and long-standing agent relationships means we often access:
• Off-market opportunities.
• Pre-listing stock.
• Quiet on-market deals with limited exposure.
That said, off-market does not automatically mean better. We pursue whichever path creates the strongest outcome for the buyer.
Most buyers lose deals not because they can’t find property — but because they:
• Negotiate emotionally.
• React too late.
• Misread pricing or competition.
• Overpay to “secure certainty”.
Our role is to remove emotion, apply leverage, and protect you from costly mistakes — particularly in competitive markets.
We are:
• Principal-led (not delegated to junior staff).
• Highly selective (client numbers are capped).
• Strategy-focused, not process-driven.
• Fee-aligned, not percentage-based.
We don’t aim to service everyone - only buyers where we can add real advantage.
No. We intentionally do not charge a percentage-based fee.
Percentage fees can create perceived misalignment by rewarding higher purchase prices. We charge a fixed professional fee because we are paid for:
• Judgement
• Strategy
• Access
• Execution
Not for price inflation.
Yes - and that’s by design.
The responsibility, negotiation skill, and risk we carry does not scale linearly with price. Our incentives are aligned with buying well, not buying bigger.
We work with a strictly capped number of clients at any one time.
This allows us to:
• Remain responsive.
• Act decisively.
• Protect negotiation leverage.
• Deliver senior-level involvement throughout.
If we are at capacity, we will decline new engagements.
Only where it adds value. Our role is not to open doors - it is to:
• Assess value
• Manage strategy
• Control negotiation
We attend inspections strategically, not routinely.
