We start by understanding your preferences, and financial goals, including your ideal rental return. Whether you’re looking for a modern apartment in the heart of Newcastle or a spacious family home in the suburbs, we tailor our search to match your criteria.

We have access to off-market properties, which helps you get ahead of other buyers or investors looking for similar properties to you. We also have the expertise and insight to help you avoid making costly mistakes.

We filter through the vast property market, presenting you only with options that truly meet your wealth goals, saving you time and energy. We’ve helped many clients further optimise their investment budget by helping them access dual income opportunities, invest in more lucrative suburbs and properties with high rental demand and income.

Understanding the local market is key to making an informed decision. Our team provides a detailed market analysis, offering reliable insights into property values, neighbourhood trends, and potential future growth. This information empowers you to make confident decisions, whether you’re negotiating a price or considering the long-term value of your investment.

One of the most challenging aspects of buying a home is negotiating the right price. Our experienced buyer’s agents are skilled negotiators who work tirelessly to secure the best deal for you. We handle all the discussions with the seller or their agent, ensuring that you get the most favourable terms possible.

To avoid any unpleasant surprises, we conduct thorough due diligence on your chosen property. This includes organising and attending inspections, reviewing property reports, and ensuring all legal and regulatory requirements are met. Our goal is to ensure that your property is not only a perfect fit but also a sound investment.

The key to a successful property purchase is developing and implementing the right strategy. We understand the tricks of the trade and will put strategies in place to ensure you secure the right property at the right price, whether that be through private sale or at auction.

Once you’ve found your ideal property, we manage the entire settlement process for you. From liaising with solicitors and lenders to handling paperwork, we ensure that the transition from offer to ownership is smooth and stress-free. Our attention to detail during this phase ensures that everything is completed on time and to your satisfaction.

About Buyer’s Agents

A Buyer’s Agent is someone who acts on your behalf in a property transaction. We are also known as a Buyer’s Advocate.

You can learn more about what a Buyer’s Agent does here.

Buyer’s Agents represent the buyer, as opposed to a real estate agent who represents the seller.

We actively represent our clients to ensure they get the most out of a property purchase, taking a strategic approach to ensure the best outcome for you. Likewise, a real estate agent takes a strategic approach to representing the seller to get them the best outcome.

It’s nice to have an advocate on your side to give you confidence in what can be an overwhelming process.

While you don’t ‘need’ one to purchase a property, we ALWAYS recommend working with one as it means you have someone representing YOU in the property transaction.

The seller has a real estate agent, so it makes sense for you to have someone representing you as well.

A Buyer’s Agent is particularly beneficial if you:

  • Are purchasing property for the first time.
  • Want to ensure you invest in properties which will positively grow your financial situation.
  • Aren’t confident in the purchase process and want a skilled negotiator at your side to ensure you get the result you want.
  • Want to avoid investing in properties or suburbs that might present unexpected costs in the future.
  • Are time-poor and would prefer to leave the paperwork and research to an expert with insider knowledge on the market.
  • Want access to off-market properties.
  • Have spent months trying to buy and are frequently outbid or struggle to find a property available that meets your goals.
  • Are downsizing and want to ensure you make a smart decision on your next home.
  • Want to get the price on your property purchase.
  • Want to make a smart decision regarding your next property purchase, with all the insight and information that gives you confidence along every step.
  • Need support at auction to avoid costly mistakes and to have someone beside you who understands the process.

Typically a Buyer’s Agent will take a commission of the purchasing cost of a property, or charge a flat fee for their services.

You can learn about how we work here.

There are numerous benefits for working with a Buyer’s Agent. Some of these include:

  • Saving time and stress: we can take the stress out of searching for a home by conducting our own research and inspections, giving you back your valuable weekends and taking care of the abundance of paperwork that comes with purchasing property.
  • Save you money in the long run: a skilled Byer’s Agent may save you money in the long run. We are experienced negotiators and have the expertise and insight to take a strategic approach to your property purchase. Matched by a deep understanding of properties and the local market, we are able to ensure you pay the right price on a property and invest in homes which are positively geared for growth.
  • Negotiate on your behalf: Negotiation can be one of the hardest parts of purchasing a property, especially if you’re emotionally invested. Buyer’s Agents can negotiate for you and take the emotions out of the conversation, remaining strategic when it comes to the price and getting what you want.

We follow a four-step process to help you secure your perfect property when you work with us for a full suite of services.

  1. During an initial consult with our team, we work with you to outline your property goals and needs.
  2. Using local market knowledge and insider access to off-market properties, our team will then conduct research to find a range of properties that align with your goals, creating a short list for your review. This includes any off-market opportunities we are privy to.
  3. Once you’ve selected your preferred properties, we proceed with a buying strategy for your property.
  4. Once we have secured your perfect property, we’ll ensure a seamless transition for the final settlement.

You can learn more about our process here.

While a Buyer’s Agent can help secure a property for you at an auction or negotiation, we’re not a financial provider or legal authority, so you still require other providers to close the deal for you.

However, we will work closely with your whole team during the property process, including discussing financial strategies and budgets with mortgage brokers and financial providers, and providing the property information and supporting the documentation requirements of your conveyancers.

We have your best interest at heart and work collaboratively with our client’s teams to get the best outcome.

About Property Solutions 101

An independent Buyer’s Agent means we represent you, and only you.

As an independent Buyer’s Agent, we don’t receive commission or fees from real estate agents who may ask us to suggest and purchase one of their properties to you.

While we have relationships with real estate agents which allow us access to off-market properties, we do not financially benefit from these relationships and always act in your best interests.

We offer two main levels of services: the complete buyer’s agent experience which sees us support your property purchase from initial conversation to the moment you walk in the door, through to our negotiation service specifically designed to help you when the time comes to negotiate and secure the deal you want on the property.

We work with buyers ranging from first home buyers and investors, to upsizers and downsizers. No matter if it is your first, second or tenth property purchase, a Buyer’s Agent can assist you.

The real estate market in the Hunter and Newcastle region is competitive. Whilst there is ample supply of property on the market, there are also many buyers. We’re also regularly seeing Sydney residents investing in the region.

This can make it challenging for first home buyers, who sometimes face overwhelm during the intimidating real estate purchase process anyway.

Add on the fear of making a poor choice, the unexpected costs that can come with some local suburbs, and the process of actually bidding privately and at auction, and there’s no wonder first home buyer’s seek an advocate during the process.

We are your partner through the process, giving you confidence and expert insight at every step.

We take the time to explain anything you’re unclear about and answer every question, big or small, without judgement. 

You can learn more about our first home buyer services here.

Absolutely! As an investor, you’re likely time poor and would benefit from having a Buyer’s Agent on your side who understands the local market.

We do the market analysis for you to ensure you are spending your time on properties which will positively impact your property portfolio. We know the suburbs which are in-demand by renters, those that are geared for capital growth and the properties that are inflated and should be avoided for the best outcome.

We then offer you local market research without any pressure or bias.

Throughout the purchase process, we deliver a complete package from search to settlement, ensuring you get the best result.

Better yet, we are able to support you during purchase without any of the emotional attachments, ensuring you avoid costly errors.

You can learn more about our investor services here.

We can assist with purchasing both residential and commercial properties. We have extensive experience purchasing freestanding homes, offices, apartments, duplexes and more.

Our Director and Buyer’s Agent, Kylie Frearson, holds a current real estate license. We are also members of REBAA, the Real Estate Buyers Agents Association of Australia.
