Pricing philosophy

Why flat fees instead of percentages.

Most large buyers agencies charge a percentage of the purchase price — typically 1.5% to 2.5%. On a $1.2M purchase, that's $24,000 to $30,000. The structure creates the wrong incentive: a percentage-paid agent earns more when you spend more.

Our method is built around buying the right property, not the most expensive one — and quite often the right property is well below the suburb median. A flat fee aligns us with that. We earn the same whether you spend $620k or $1.2M, so the only thing we're optimising for is the quality of the decision.

The fee is agreed in writing before any work begins. You will never see a surcharge, a "contingency," or a kickback from a developer. The full income from your engagement is the line item on your engagement letter — nothing more.

Common questions

Pricing, in detail.

Why pay $899 for a strategy session if I'm not even sure I'll engage you?
Two reasons. First, the deliverable is yours regardless of what happens next — a written strategy document with your target markets, price band, and 12-month plan. Many clients use it to execute themselves and don't engage us at all, and that's a legitimate outcome. Second, paid filters: clients who pay show up differently to clients who don't, and our work is more useful when both sides are committed.
If I proceed to full engagement, how does the $899 credit work?
If you sign the engagement letter within 30 days of the strategy session, the $899 is deducted in full from the $11,500. So your total cost is $11,500 — just split into a $899 deposit and a $10,601 balance.
Why a flat fee instead of a percentage?
Because our method is built around buying the right property, not the most expensive one. Percentage-based fees reward agents for buying you a more expensive house. A flat fee removes that incentive entirely. We earn the same whether the right answer is a $620k townhouse or a $1.2M family home — we're optimising only for fit.
Is there ever a hidden cost — surcharge, contingency, kickback?
No. The fee on your engagement letter is the entire income we make from working with you. We do not accept commissions from developers, vendors, marketing companies, or anyone other than you. The Trusted Advisors page lists how we run referrals to brokers, accountants, and conveyancers — without taking a cent from any of them.
What if I want to back out after engaging?
The engagement letter spells out a clean exit clause. You give written notice, you pay only for the stages already delivered up to that point, and the engagement is wound down properly. We'd rather you walk than feel stuck.
Will you increase the fee mid-engagement?
No. The fee is fixed at the point you sign the engagement letter, regardless of how the search unfolds. If the brief changes substantially mid-engagement, we'll have a transparent conversation about scope — but we won't surprise you with surcharges. (We operate in Queensland only; if your plans move interstate, we'll tell you honestly and help you find the right person there.)
