FAQ

How much does a Buyer's Agent Cost?

A common question people ask is, how much does a buyer's agent cost? In the fiercely competitive Northern Beaches market, our main objective is to maximise your savings. Understanding the significant price discrepancies in properties is crucial; the difference between securing a property for a favourable, unfavourable, or indifferent price can amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Therefore, we firmly believe that aligning with TAG for your acquisition is a valuable investment. After successfully securing your property, a flat ‘success fee’ is payable upon an unconditional exchange of contracts, and depending on the service provided, there may be an initial engagement fee. 

Who can benefit from using a Buyer's Agent?

Whether you're stepping into the market for the first time, expanding your investment portfolio, finding your forever home, or seeking that perfect holiday retreat, The Addison Group stands as a pivotal ally. Our expertise serves not just to save you time and money but also to minimise your exposure to risk throughout the property search process.

What is the typical timeframe for purchasing a property through TAG?

Navigating the property market with a buyer's agent from TAG can vary in duration, influenced by factors such as your personal preferences, available inventory, and prevailing market dynamics. While some clients may find their ideal property within days, others might explore options for several months. Rest assured, we will expose you to more properties, ultimately, giving you more options. Although our goal is to secure your next home or investment in a timely manner, the most important factor is that the property meets your needs or investment objectives.

What areas does TAG specialise in?

At TAG, we're Northern Beaches specialists. In combination with your specific needs, we know the area inside out – the prices, the neighbourhoods, the agents. When it comes to buying property, in such a large transaction, you need a specialist. We provide sound advice based on our intimate knowledge of the local market, ensuring our clients make informed decisions.

What's the difference between a Buyer's Agent and a Selling Agent?

In any property transaction, a buyer's agent and a selling agent fulfill fundamentally different roles. At TAG, we advocate for the buyer, dedicating ourselves to securing the most advantageous deal—this includes price, terms, and conditions tailored to your benefit. Conversely, a selling agent represents the property seller, aiming to achieve the highest sale price and favourable terms for their client. In such a considerable transaction, we feel that it is important to level the playing field between seasoned agents and buyers.

How does our approach personalise the property buying experience?

At The Addison Group, we believe each client's property journey is unique. Our personalised approach begins with a detailed understanding of your aspirations, preferences, and lifestyle requirements. By combining this personal insight with our market expertise and strategic acumen, we craft a property search strategy designed to find your perfect match.

Can we assist with investment properties?

Absolutely. If you're looking to expand your investment portfolio, TAG offers specialised services geared towards identifying properties that not only meet but exceed your investment criteria. Leveraging our deep market knowledge and strategic insight, we focus on securing properties with strong growth potential and optimal returns on investment.

What post-purchase support do we offer?

Our commitment to your success extends beyond the purchase. Following the acquisition of your property, TAG remains at your side, offering guidance and support through the transition into your new home or investment. Whether it's connecting you with local services, providing property management advice, or preparing for future investments, we're here to ensure your ongoing satisfaction and success.
