Buyers agent fees, clear from the start
Three simple options for Sydney home buyers. Fixed fees, agreed in writing before we start, and a free property check for first home buyers.
How much does a buyers agent cost in Sydney?
We charge fixed fees, never a percentage of the price. Appraise & Negotiate is a fixed fee of $9,970 + GST, and Full Property Acquisition is a fixed fee of $14,970 + GST. If you’re a first home buyer and have found your first property, we’ll check it for free.

What you do, and what we do
Five steps from first chat to keys. You make every decision; we do the legwork, checks and negotiating.
Free chat & budget check
You: tell us your goals, budget and timeline.
We: explain the process and grants, and connect you with a broker for pre-approval.
Suburb & home shortlist
You: share your must-haves, commute and schools.
We: match suburbs and homes to your lifestyle and budget.
Inspections & due diligence
You: inspect the homes you like on Appraise & Negotiate. On Full Property Acquisition, we help with inspections: in person for local Sydney-based properties, and virtual inspections for properties outside Sydney.
We: organise building and pest inspections (billed directly to you by the building and pest inspector), strata reports (billed directly to you by the strata company), zoning and flood checks, and review the contract with your solicitor (billed directly to you by your conveyancing team).
Negotiation or auction bidding
You: set your walk-away limit with us.
We: negotiate or bid for you at auction, so emotion doesn’t set the price.
Settlement & keys
You: sign and plan the move.
We: work with your broker and solicitor through to settlement, and stay in touch after.
What home buyers say about us
Genuine, unedited Google reviews from clients we’ve helped buy.
★★★★★Working with Manoj was one of the best decisions we made during our property purchase. They genuinely cared about finding the right property for us rather than simply closing a deal. Their communication was excellent, and they kept us informed every step of the way. Thanks to their hard work and persistence, we secured a property that perfectly meets our needs.
★★★★★Excellent experience from start to finish. Very knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely dedicated to helping us throughout the process. Everything was smooth, clear, and stress-free. Highly recommended!
★★★★★Highly recommend Manoj! They were professional, responsive, and knowledgeable throughout our property search. Their guidance and negotiation skills helped us secure the right property with confidence. Thank you for making the process so smooth and stress-free.
Questions about our fees
Straight answers about what we charge and how it works. Still unsure? Call 0422 551 539 or book a free chat.
How much does a buyers agent cost in Sydney?
With us, Appraise & Negotiate is a fixed fee of $9,970 + GST for up to 5 properties over up to 2 months, and Full Property Acquisition is a fixed fee of $14,970 + GST for unlimited properties over up to 4 months. First home buyers can get their first property checked for free.
Is the Free First Home Check really free?
Yes. If you’re a first home buyer and have found the home you want to buy, we’ll check the price against recent sales, point out red flags and tell you what to look for in the contract, at no cost and with no obligation. If you then want us to negotiate or bid for you, we’ll confirm the fee in writing first.
Are your fees fixed or a percentage?
Fixed. Our fees are never a percentage of the purchase price, so we have no reason to push you to spend more. You’ll get the fee in writing before you appoint us.
When do I pay?
A $4,970 + GST engagement fee is payable when you appoint us for Appraise & Negotiate or Full Property Acquisition. It is part of your total fixed fee, not an extra charge. The balance ($5,000 + GST for Appraise & Negotiate, or $10,000 + GST for Full Property Acquisition) is payable when your property contract becomes unconditional.
What’s the difference between the two paid plans?
Appraise & Negotiate covers up to 5 properties you’ve found, over up to 2 months: we value them, coordinate due diligence and negotiate or bid for you. Full Property Acquisition adds the search itself: buying strategy, suburb shortlist, on and off-market search and inspections, for unlimited properties over up to 4 months.
Can I upgrade from Appraise & Negotiate to Full Property Acquisition?
Yes, at any time. You just pay the difference between the two fixed fees ($5,000 + GST), and we take over the full search.
Do you help property investors?
Yes. Investors are covered by our Full Property Acquisition plan, which includes buying strategy, research, search, due diligence and negotiation. Commercial purchases are quoted separately after a free chat.
Do you take commissions from sellers, agents or developers?
No. We work only for buyers and are never paid by the seller, so our advice is on your side.
Which areas do you cover?
We help home buyers across Western Sydney, the Hills District, the North Shore and the North West, from our office in Bella Vista.
