How much does a buyers agent cost?

We charge a transparent fixed fee, agreed in writing before we begin. It is not a percentage of the purchase price, so our fee never changes with the price of the property you buy.

Can a buyers agent access off-market properties?

Yes. Off-market access is one part of what we do, alongside inspections, due diligence, negotiation and auction bidding. Availability varies from month to month, so we never promise a specific property.

What if I already have a property in mind?

That is fine. We start by testing it against your written strategy, then review price evidence and run due diligence. If it does not fit, we will tell you plainly.

How long does the process take?

It depends on your brief, budget and what is available in Frenchs Forest and the wider Northern Beaches corridor. Strategy comes first, then the search. We will give you a realistic timeframe once we understand your goals.

Do you cover houses, investments and duplex projects?

Yes. We work with home buyers and investors, and we never act for sellers. Each purchase is assessed on its own merits, and we make no promises about growth or returns.

Helping you buy well in Frenchs Forest

Who buys here, and why a plan matters

Frenchs Forest draws upsizing families, investors and buyers priced out of nearby coastal suburbs on the Northern Beaches corridor. Good stock tends to move quickly, so buying without a plan leaves you reacting to listings instead of choosing on your terms.

Strategy isn't optional. It's the difference between owning a property and building a portfolio, and it has to be written down before the search begins.
Lloyd Edge, Founder & Managing Director

What we do for you

As a buyers-only agency, we start with a written strategy, then run the search, inspections and due diligence. We analyse pricing against sales evidence, negotiate on your behalf and represent you at auction. Where suitable, we also bring off-market access into the picture.

Talk to us before you start looking

If you are considering Frenchs Forest, get in touch now so your strategy is settled before the right property is listed. We will tell you plainly whether a buyers agent makes sense for your situation.

Strategy Before Property

We don't start with listings. We start with a written strategy that sets out your goals, timeline, risk profile and exit horizon. For a Frenchs Forest buyer, that means knowing your budget limits, your must-haves and how long you plan to hold before we look at a single property. Once the strategy is agreed, we research suburbs and streets using sales evidence and price analysis. Then we build a shortlist, inspect, complete due diligence and negotiate or bid at auction on your behalf. Every decision ties back to the plan, so you stay disciplined when a property tempts you off course.

Buyers-Only Integrity

We never list, market or represent sellers, so there is no selling side to pull our advice in another direction. Our duty runs to you alone. Our fee is a transparent fixed amount agreed upfront, not tied to the purchase price. That means we have no reason to push you toward a dearer property or a quicker deal. It also gives us access to off-market opportunities that may never reach a public listing. You always know what you are paying, and why we recommend each step.

Local research that reduces your purchasing risk

Buying on the Northern Beaches corridor takes more than a good eye for a listing. It takes suburb research, sales evidence and a negotiation plan that protect you and support long-term value. Because we are buyers-only, that work is done for you and no one else. Our approach has been recognised as REINSW Buyer's Agent of the Year 2024, and we hold a 5.0 Google rating across 5,000+ clients, with over $1 billion secured on their behalf. Our founder also built a $40M+ personal portfolio using the same method. These are markers of discipline and experience, not a promise of any particular result. If you are considering Frenchs Forest, get in touch and we will talk through your position.

Acting quickly in a fast-moving market

Well-presented Frenchs Forest stock can move quickly, and buying without a plan in that setting is risky. A Brookvale client, buying close by on the Northern Beaches corridor, told us that acting fast was essential and that without a buyers agent they would not have found and secured their first home. Speed only works when the strategy is already written. We set your brief, budget and limits first, so when the right property appears you can move with confidence.

How we work with home buyers and investors

Costly mistakes tend to happen when a buyer moves without a plan, which is why we write your strategy before any search begins. Whether you are a first-home buyer or building a portfolio, we work for you alone. We agree the plan together, keep you updated at each stage and make decisions with you.
