frequently asked questions
What does a Buyers Agent do?
I work exclusively for the buyer — not the seller. I search, shortlist, assess, negotiate and secure property on your behalf, helping you avoid costly mistakes and access properties you may never see on your own.
Why use a Buyers Agent instead of going it alone?
Buying property is time-consuming, emotional and competitive. I handle the research, agent conversations, inspections, due diligence and negotiation — giving you more clarity, more confidence, and a stronger position when the right home appears.
Do you take on multiple buyers wanting the same thing?
No. I do not accept overlapping briefs. Your search remains my priority, and I never represent competing buyers in the same category or area.
How long will it take?
Timeframes depend on your brief and market conditions, but most buyers secure a property within 6–12 weeks. Some move faster; others take longer if their wishlist is highly specific.
Do you only help on the Northern Beaches?
Can you help me avoid overpaying?
Yes — I provide appraisal guidance, value benchmarking and strategic negotiation (or structured bidding at auction) to ensure you pay the right price, not an emotional one.
What does a Sellers Advocate actually do?
I help shortlist and select the right agent, guide preparation and presentation, review strategy and pricing, monitor campaign performance, and support you through negotiation — ensuring the selling process is smooth and aligned.
Do you replace the selling agent?
No — I help you choose, manage and hold accountable the right sales agent. You get expertise without stress.
Is this service helpful if I’m buying and selling?
Extremely. I streamline the entire journey, ensuring the timing, decisions and strategy on both sides work together.
