How do buyer’s advocate fees work?

Understand the fee conversation, scope of work and questions to ask before engaging a buyer’s advocate.

Front Page Property offers a free discovery call, then discusses a tailored fee structure based on the client’s needs and property brief. The proposal should explain the work, inclusions, exclusions and payment terms. Compare what you are engaging the advocate to do, rather than treating the fee as an isolated number.

Start with the scope

A full search is a different engagement from negotiating on a property you have found. Auction representation may have its own preparation and timing requirements. Begin by matching the proposed work to the decision you need help with.

Questions to ask before signing

  • What services are included and what is excluded?
  • What fee basis applies and when is payment due?
  • What happens if a property is not purchased or the brief changes?
  • What costs or specialist reports sit outside the fee?
  • Are there referral benefits or relationships I should understand?

Read the authority

Consumer Affairs Victoria explains that a buyer’s agency authority sets out the work and fees. Read it carefully and ask about anything unclear before signing. Its buyer’s agent guidance is a useful starting point.

Why there is no price range on this page

The service and property brief determine Front Page Property’s proposed fee. This page does not publish a made-up starting price or assume a percentage applies. Ask for the proposal relevant to the work you need.

Before we turn the page

Is the first call free?

Yes. The client has confirmed that the initial discovery call is free.

Does a lower fee mean better value?

The comparison should include scope, experience, communication, limits and terms. A price alone does not establish which engagement fits.

Will the fee guarantee a lower purchase price?

No saving or outcome is guaranteed. Understand the work being proposed and make your decision on that basis.
