Frequently Asked Questions

“In my experience working over in the US, more than 80-90% of property transactions have a buyer's agent attached, compared with about 2.5% of transactions in Australia. I think the attitudes are shifting here as our market heats up, people really need the help even local people that are trying to buy down the road. Last year there was some data that came out of Sydney that said about ¼ transactions involve a buyers agent in Sydney - they have always led the charge in this space because they have had so much heat in their market for so long. But I think the likes of Queensland and other states are quickly following suit.” - Maddison Bonner

“We purchase properties in all locations across SEQ, across various segments, for myriad buyers. But our passion project is our ‘Build Wealth’ Strategy. This is a strategy that we have personally implemented and now use for our clients. We target houses in quality locations with good bones for a cosmetic renovation. We build a plan to execute in a cost effective way so that our clients can manufacture equity & yield fast. Through this strategy we are not purely relying on market growth but can manufacture the growth ourselves. Our clients then have accessible equity for the next purchase.” - Tim Gaynor

“Every situation is different. Some market segments are more tightly held than others or more competitive. Some Buyers are more specific than others. This will all impact your purchasing timeline. But with a BA you will always have this information up-front so you can manage your expectations. We will also give you the push you might need for the right thing or hold you back from rushing into the wrong thing!” - Maddison Bonner

“That can be a big part of the reason why people come to us and it is something we really focus on. Roughly 70%-80% of our purchases are off-market. But we do purchase things on-market too. It’s important to note that not all ‘off-markets’ are good deals. Some Sellers can have really high expectations until they get some market feedback.” - Maddison Bonner

“Not as expensive as making the wrong decision. In property you can make some big mistakes that can cost you everything. If we are doing our job right, we will make you our commission back on the purchase during a negotiation or within the first month or two of equity in the right asset.” - Tim Gaynor
