- Property Search: Being the local experts, we leverage our local knowledge and networks to find suitable properties, including off-market property options you might not have discovered yourself.
- Shortlisting and Inspections: We shortlist properties that align with your criteria and accompany you on inspections, providing expert insights and guidance. Or if you can’t make the inspections, we take comprehensive videos to help get a good picture of the property before you make the trip to inspect the property yourself.

This includes a whole range of checks and balances to make you aware of everything you need to know, both positive and negative. We also have a network of trusted and respected and building and pest inspectors that you can rely on.
- Negotiation and Purchase: We handle all negotiations with the seller’s agent, ensuring you get the best possible price and terms and even go to auction on your behalf if needed.
