GOLD COAST BUYERS AGENT FEES

How much does
Buyer's Agent cost?

FEES PAID TO AGENT WHEN PURCHASING A PROPERTY

Clear fees, no surprises!

I am a local Gold Coast buyers agent. I typically look for homes between $800,000 and $12m. I work for people who are buying their first home, second home or investors (including from the states or international buyers). I keep the fees affordable and competitive. Here’s what you can expect:

Engagement Fee:

Success Fee:

$2,000+gst

(this is the initial and non refundable fee)

$13,000+gst

(paid once the signed sale contract becomes unconditional)

I believe that buying a higher-priced property isn’t necessarily more complex than purchasing one at a lower price, so it doesn’t seem fair to charge a percentage or more based solely on the property’s value.

I offer a fixed fee option, which provides better value for my clients. I work equally hard for all my clients, regardless of their budget.

Fee Structure

Engagement fee: It is $2,000+gst and it is a fixed fee payable upfront and not refundable.
Success fee: It is $13,000+gst and it is a fixed fee payable only upon successfully securing your property.

What’s included in the fee?

Source off-market properties (if available) – those available but not advertised on websites or in agent’s windows.
Source on-market properties – those available and advertised on the internet.
Advise on areas, compare and contrast different places.
Inspections – I will go to the selected properties and inspect them (I will record a video or I’ll call you as a ‘face-time’).
Research a street, natural threats such as flooding and other things might have impact on your property.
Do a comparative market analysis (CMA) – an estimate of a home’s price used to help buyers make competitive offers.
Negotiate with the seller and their agent. (I always try to reduce the asking price).
Help to make your next move the smoothest and most painless experience possible.

What is NOT included in the fees?

Fees for third-party services, such as pest & building inspections, body corporate or other paid reports, are not included. I will advise you in advance if any additional reports are recommended and provide price estimates (e.g., a Building & Pest Inspection on the Gold Coast typically costs between $300 and $500).
Conveyancing services are also not included.
Stamp duties or other taxes are not included as well.
